Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than 3 wheeler buggy-wheelers. But that doesn't mean the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, since some of them are built to handle everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

For a buggy that's easy to control and will not be a problem on bumpy roads, look for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel.

A 3-wheeled stroller isn't easy to maneuver because of its large frame. It is more difficult to get through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels fold up when not in use, which reduces their overall size, and allows you to get through doorways easily.

If yes, look for a lie-flat location and also whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you want to add an infant onboard). If so, ensure that it is in an upright position and if the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you want to add the toddler to the buggy). Many 3-wheelers fold flat and be stood upright when collapsed which is useful if you have a an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you take off the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

A majority of them have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Certain models come with a lockable wheel that can offer stability on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, if you plan to expand your family.

Choose a model that has a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single front wheel. Make sure the model you choose fits in your car's boot and can be set up upright if needed. Certain models can be folded with just one hand and stand on their own when collapsed. This can save space in boot spaces that are smaller.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary distinction between a seat made of fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy, instead of being placed on top like the modular chair. This enables a much more ergonomically correct posture for the baby, which instantly delivers a lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a more light curb-pop (you do not have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance.
