Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheelers. But that doesn't mean a three-wheel buggy isn't worth considering, as some of them are built to handle anything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels and an lockable wheel on the front. This makes it more comfortable to drive and less likely to snap apart when you're on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires, which are ideal for handling non-paved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches and tracks in woodlands.

They're also excellent buggies to run with as they provide excellent stability in rough terrain, and can aid you in staying with your running companion. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them have spring suspension built-in so that your baby can enjoy a smooth ride.

The main thing that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doorways than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels fold up when not in use, which reduces their overall size and helps you get through doors with ease.

You'll also have to think about whether your buggy is suitable for your little one from birth or if you're planning on using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Check if the buggy has the ability to lie flat, and if it is compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards if you intend to take your toddler along. A majority of 3-wheelers can fold flat and be stacked upright. This is a good option for those with limited space in your boot or limited storage at home. However, some will require you to remove the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit into more compact space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They typically have a swivelling front wheel that lets you change direction quickly and steer using just one hand. Some also come with a lockable front wheel which can give you stability on rougher terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, should you decide to grow your family.

If you're considering taking your three-wheeled bike off the paved tracks, it's worth choosing one that has tyres with air in them (also called pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the toughest terrain.

Choose a model that has a a lockable swivelling front wheel to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than four-wheeled buggies due to the single wheel on the front. Check that the model you choose fits inside your car's boot and can be set up upright if needed. Some models can be folded with just one hand, and they're freestanding when collapsed. This can save space in boot spaces that are smaller.

A quality three-wheel pushchair will handle most terrains, from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to think about what you'll be using it for day-to-day. If you'll be running the school run, it must be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you intend to jog with it, make sure it has a swiveling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will keep the ride stable.

The main difference between a fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the buggy frame, as opposed to being placed on top of it like an adjustable chair. This enables a much more ergonomically-correct position for babies that instantly gives an lower centre of gravity at the right height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the nose of a curb) and a better stability and balance.
