Stability
With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, buggies with four wheels are generally considered to be more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worthwhile to consider as they are able to handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets.
If you want a buggie that is easy to maneuver and will not fall over on muddy roads, opt for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres too, which are excellent for handling uneven surfaces and can be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.
They're also the best buggies for running around in, as they offer great stability on rough terrain and can help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They're also good at climbing and descending steep kerbs too and a majority have a built-in suspension which means your child will be able to ride comfortably.
A 3-wheeled stroller isn't easy to maneuver because of its wide frame. It is more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing a clever design that makes the wheels fold up when not in use, which decreases their overall size, and allows you get through doors without difficulty.
You'll also have to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your baby from birth, or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, ensure that it is in a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put the toddler to the buggy). A lot of 3 wheel pushchair sale-wheelers fold flat, and later be put up in a upright position. This is a great option for those with an unwieldy boot space or limited storage at home. However, some will require you to take out the front wheel before folding in order to fit into even more compact spaces.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies usually offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. A majority of them have an swivelling wheel at the front that allows you to steer and change direction using only one hand. Certain models come with a lockable wheel that can give you stability on more rough terrain. Some models can be used with a second seat or buggy board in case you're planning to expand your family.
If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled bike off the roads, you should consider choosing one equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most difficult terrain.

It is recommended to choose models with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to assist you in navigating tricky surfaces.
When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels because of the single wheel in front. Make sure the model you choose can fit into the boot of your car and can be raised should it be required. Some models can be folded with one hand, and can be rearranged when folded. This can help save space in a small car boot.

This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity that is the ideal height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a lighter 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.
