Stability

If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you navigate off-road terrain. Choose models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. They'll also have a lockable front wheel to give stability over rough ground.

A 3-wheeler is likely to be better able to cope with off-road terrain than one with four wheels, however both can get stuck in difficult spots.

Tyres

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler that has more durable tyres. Take into consideration the kind of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety as well as performance and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewall of a tyre may be confusing at first, but decoding it helps you understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of '185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are also less heavy and puncture resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on an even and secure surface. If the tires slide easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If they don't then the tires are composed of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension on a 3 wheel buggy is an important element to look for as it will absorb the smacks and bumps of rough terrain, making it much more comfortable for your baby.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It is also more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheel buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs. The fabric sling seats are positioned inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This results in a low seat and buggy that is easily pushed.

However, if you'd like to go out for a run with your baby then a 4-wheeler might be better suited since it will have suspension that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back wheel so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads Be aware that not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most are NOT like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a suspension system specifically designed for them that's been independently tested across all terrains.
