If you stop or turn abruptly, they may lose their stability and fall over. This is why certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3 wheel buggy designs to improve the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you navigate off-road terrain. Choose models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres), which can handle off-road trails, sand, dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rock and sand. These models will also feature an adjustable wheel that locks in the front to improve the stability of the vehicle over rough terrain.

The buggies are easy to maneuver and agile, thanks to a 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

If you plan to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often, you might want to consider a three wheel pushchairs-wheeler with more robust tyres. Also, you should consider the type of suspension you need. A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and add to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also crucial. Knowing how to read tyre sizing is crucial for maintaining safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the sidewalls of tyres can seem confusing until you get the hang of it, you'll be able to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre. A tyre that has an 185/70 size R14, for example indicates that it is a radial tire in 185/70 with a 14-inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you're unsure whether a pushchair's tires are rubber or PU, simply slide the tires across the surface with a smooth surface. If the tires move easily they are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are made of rubber.

You can also choose from a selection of infant car seats that convert the buggy into a pram, including the elegantly designed carrycot plus(tm) that is a comfy lie-flat baby bed suitable for infants and newborns from 12 months to 12 years old.

Safety

Having four wheels makes the pushchair much more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to handle. It is also more secure for your baby since their weight is distributed more evenly throughout the frame of the pushchair.

A four-wheeled buggy has lower center of gravity, making it easier to climb over curbs and climb up. The seats of the fabric sling are placed inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a low seat position and an automobile that is easily maneuvered.
