A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-roading and provides an easy ride for babies. They are also simpler to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or modular seat units, which are positioned tightly in the frame and provide the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, making them an excellent option for off-roading (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.
