Stability

With four wheels and a central point of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than 3-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since some of them are built to handle anything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, as well as one that locks on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to break off when driving on bumpy roads.

Choose a model that has a an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

Having a single front wheel may also indicate that three-wheelers can be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded.

This can save space in car boot spaces that are smaller.

Fabric Sling Seat

The key difference between a fabric sling and modular seats is that the fabric sling fits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top of it like a modular seat would.
