Stability

Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when they're in a straight line. Also, you'll be able to maneuver them more quickly and efficiently. If you stop or turn abruptly, they could lose stability and even tip over. Some manufacturers add an additional wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis.

The extra wheel also helps you to tackle off-road terrain. Look for models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres) that are able to take on off-road routes, sand and dirt, as well as other surfaces, such as rocks and sand. They'll also typically include the option of locking the front wheel to provide stability on rough ground.

Folding

Certain models may come with an enormous basket as well as a brake lever that is quick-release.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you're unsure if the pushchair you are using has rubber or PU tires, try sliding the tires across a smooth and tied surface. If the tires move easily and smoothly, they're made of PU. If not, they are made of rubber.
