Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, since the majority of them are built to withstand everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.

If you want a buggie that is easy to maneuver and will not be a problem on bumpy pavements, look for one with big rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires that are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodlands.

They're also excellent at climbing and descending steep kerbs as well and a majority come with suspension built-in which means your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.

A stroller with three wheels isn't easy to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels turn upwards when not being used, which reduces their overall size, and allows you navigate through doorways with ease.

You'll also have to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your child from birth or if you're planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Make sure that the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it is compatible with second seat and buggy boards if you intend to bring an infant along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat and be put up in a upright position. This is a good option for those with a small boot space or have limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies usually offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. They often have a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to shift direction quickly and steer with only one hand. Some models have a lockable wheel that can offer stability on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, in case you want to expand your family.

If you're considering taking your three wheeler pushchair-wheeled buggy off tracks that are paved, it's worth choosing one equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres might need to be regularly pumped up from time the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. It is recommended to choose models with an swiveling front wheel that is locked to help you navigate tricky surfaces.

A single front wheel could indicate that three-wheelers can be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Be sure that the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be placed in a straight line if needed. Some models can fold with one hand and are freestanding when collapsed, which can save space in boot spaces that are smaller.

A well-constructed three-wheeled pushchair can be used on all terrains from busy roads to forest tracks. It is important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you'll be doing the school run, it must be able to cope with steep kerbs and slopes. If you'll be running on it, check that it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to ensure that the ride is stable.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seats is that the fabric sling sits in the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top of it as a modular seat would. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity that is the ideal height. This results in a smoother push, a more light curb-pop (you don't have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance.

The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel allows for agile and smooth movement, whereas the tyres are typically air-filled and feature suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the roughest trails and roads. The wheels aren't as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they would be on four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.
