Stability

Four-wheel buggies with their center of gravity being balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are generally more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since the majority of them are built to withstand anything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels and one that locks on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to break apart on bumpy roads.
