Stability
If you're taking your pushchair off-road and on rough terrain, the type of wheels will make a difference.

If you intend to use your pushchair over rough terrain, or on hilly or uneven surfaces, a single wheel in the front could pose a problem.

Some manufacturers have designed their pushchairs to feature a centre of gravity that is closer to the seat in order to keep the weight on the rear wheels.
Some models are made to be used off-road as well as in town - perfect for strolling through woodland trails or across sandy beaches. The iCandy Core, for example is a model with a longer wheelbase than a standard pushchair and wheels that are larger, which, according to MFM's Tara, "perform well on grass roads, gravel roads, and cobbles from the market town."

They're typically designed with larger rear and front wheels to cope with off-road terrain, as well having suspension and a brake operated by hand on the right-hand side of the frame so that it can't be accidentally kicked by your feet as you walk.
All-terrain pushchairs are often larger and heavier than four-wheeled buggies, so check they'll fit into your car's boot before purchasing. They are also wider than other pushchairs making them more difficult to maneuver in narrow aisles and spaces in shops. However, many models fold flat and are freestanding when collapsed - ideal for storage and transport.
