Also, you’ll notice that you can manoeuvre them much more quickly and efficiently. If you stop or turn abruptly, they can lose stability and even tip over. This is why certain manufacturers add an additional wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.
You can also take on off-road terrain by adding an extra wheel. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road trails as well as other surfaces such as rocks, sand and mud. They’ll also typically come with an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability on rough ground.

PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you’re unsure if a pushchair has rubber or PU tires, you can test sliding the tires on a smooth and tied surface. If the tires slide smoothly they are made of PU. If they do not, then the tires are composed of rubber.

Safety
Four wheels make the buggy more stable and less likely to tip over and easier to maneuver. It can also be more secure for your child as their weight is distributed more evenly across the frame of the pushchair.
A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower center of gravity and therefore is easier to lift over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats do, which results in a lower seating position and a comparatively lighter buggy that can be easily maneuvered.
If you want to run with your child, then a 4-wheeler is the best 3 wheel stroller with car seat option.

However, not all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. Mountain Buggies are the exception since they feature an exclusive suspension system that has been tested by an independent expert across all kinds of terrain.
