If you want your buggy to be stable to traverse uneven ground or bump up and down curbs then a four-wheeler is the best option. They are generally more sturdy and less likely to tip over than three-wheelers.

It's worth doing this outside on an overcast day, and then tipping it upside down as much as you can to ensure you get inside the wheels and mechanisms where dirt is often deposited.
