Stability
Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an ideal option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels in the front to give you extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.
It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they can tip over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. They should be able turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also come with an incline of 360o for the front wheel that makes them ideal for navigating difficult terrain.

Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly inside the frame of the buggie instead of over it like modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot overestimate the amount of times you'll have to do that as new parents!)
Seating
The capacity for seating of 3 wheelers is impressive, and there are a number of different choices to choose from. The included carrycot plus is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lying-flat bed that can be used in and out of the buggy).

It is important to note that the seats do not recline completely however, they can be lowered to the lowest setting which will give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.
A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which offers the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame rather than over the top of a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially over bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this type of seat handled these obstacles.

Tyres
These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable.

She also said that its grippy tyres made it easy to tackle cobbles and kerbs.

PU tyres can be found on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they're still as durable. You can identify PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft texture. They also slide across flat and tidied surfaces.
It's usually possible to tell the difference between PU and air-filled tire by running your fingers over each one, if it feels hard then it's made of rubber, when it slides, it's a PU. You can also test whether your buggy comes with PU tyres sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.
Foam tyres are often utilized in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain that's associated with this kind of pushchair. The downside is that the foam could shrink and make your buggy feel less stable, since it loses its springy nature. You'll also find that these kinds of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they generate a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way through the town.
