If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or in rough terrain frequently, you might think about a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. A strong suspension is ideal to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is crucial. Understanding how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance.

Safety

Having four wheels makes a buggy much more stable, less likely to tip and easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity and is therefore more easy to roll up and over curbs.
