Stability

With four wheels and a center of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than 3-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since some of these models are designed to cope with everything from rough terrain to bustling high-streets.

Find a buggie with large rear wheels, as well as one that locks on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to fall off when driving on bumpy roads.

One thing that can make a 3-wheeled pushchair difficult to maneuver is the broad frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doors than a four-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this problem with a clever design which flips the wheels upwards when they are not being used. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to fit through doorways.

Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board in case you're planning to increase the size of your family.

Find a model with a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

The fact that there is only one front wheel could be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded.

Some models are able to fold with one hand and stand on their own when they're collapsed, which will save space in smaller car boots.
