Stability

With four wheels and a center 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. But that doesn't mean a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since some of these models are designed to cope with everything from rough terrain to busy high streets.

Find a buggie with large rear wheels and one that locks on the front. This makes it more comfortable to drive and less likely to snap apart on rough roads.
