The most basic and usable choice should be 16" air-filled tires preferably with aluminum rims. For those who do not wish to spend time and effort with stroller wheels selection, the following is advisable:
a) The swivel front wheels for those who do not require speed in movement.
b) The swivel front wheels with locks for added security while the stroller is stationary
c) The fixed front wheels for those who care for nothing else but speedy movement
Nevertheless, for those individuals who are interested with the insider details of stroller wheels, then the following is for you. You have six considerations to make before you settle on a particular type of wheels. These six considerations include:
1) The wheel size
2) The fixed vs. swivel wheels
3) The material and design of the wheels
4) The shock absorbers incorporated with the stroller wheels
5) The fenders also incorporated with the wheels
6) The quick release and locking system used by the wheels
Stroller wheels have three sizes (20, 16 and 12 inch wheels). The larger the wheel size the more bulky it is but then the smoother the ride. In choosing the fixed vs the swivel stroller wheels consider that swivel front wheels swings freely and thus improve maneuverability, steering and control of the stroller. For parents who usually stroll in rough terrains and in constricted spaces, then swivel is the best choice. Otherwise, fixed front wheels are only ideal when you need to stroll in maximal speed. Though fixed wheels do not negotiate corners and turns very well, they keep a straight path.
When it comes to the material and design of the stroller wheels, the best choice is air-filled rubber tires that have been mounted on steel or alloy rims. This can then be sealed with alloy hubs and agile ball-bearings for precision in maneuverability. The wheels should then be connected to a non-rusting alloy axle.
