Stability

You can also tackle off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Choose models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can be used to handle off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. These models will also have an adjustable wheel that locks on the front to increase stability over rough terrain.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies come in a variety of styles and materials, and each comes with its pros and cons.

The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and where you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or in rough terrain frequently you may think about a three-wheeler with more durable tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension that you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps. However, it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre can be crucial. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might appear confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of '185/70 R14' means that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has 14 inches of rim diameter.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if the tires on a pushchair are rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires across a smooth surface and tie them. If they slide easily then the tires are made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.

Safety

Four wheels make a buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower center of gravity, making it more easy to roll over curbs and up the stairs. The fabric sling seats are placed inside the frame and not on top 3 wheel strollers as modular seats. This results in a low seat position 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 as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the back one so you can tackle rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't like the Phil and Teds). Mountain Buggies are the exception because they come with a specially-designed suspension system that's been tested by an independent expert across all types of terrain.
