If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often, you might think about a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. Consider the type of suspension you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to deal with humps and bumps but they can also be heavy and add to the overall weight.

Another aspect to be considered is tyre size. Understanding how to determine the sizing of a tyre is essential for ensuring safety, performance, and durability. The combination of letters and numbers on the sidewalls of tyres can seem initially, but understanding it will allow you to comprehend the dimensions of the tyre.

Safety

Four wheels make the pushchair more stable and less likely to tip over, and more easy to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly distributed across the frame.
