If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose stability and tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road paths, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces like rock and sand. These models also come with a lockable wheel in the front to improve the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The most efficient 3 wheeler for rough terrain

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip and easier to handle. It can also be more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly over the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is more easy to roll up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed in the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats. This creates a low seating position and a lighter buggy that can be easily maneuverable.
