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 considered to be more stable than triwheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worth considering as they can handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's easy to control and will not be a problem on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires, which are ideal for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used even on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

A stroller with 3 wheels can be a challenge to maneuver because of its wide frame. It is more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler.

If yes, look for a lie-flat positioning and also whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you want to add the toddler). If so, pushchair 3 wheels for an upright position and if the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you want to add an infant onboard). Many 3-wheelers can fold flat and be put up in a upright position. This is a good option when you have limited space in your boot or a small amount of storage space at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They typically have a swivelling wheel on the front that lets you shift direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheel which gives you the stability you need on rough terrain. Some models can even be used with an additional seat or buggy board in case you're planning to expand your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled buggy off tracks that are paved, it's worth selecting a model equipped with tyres filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the most difficult terrain. They will require periodic pumping, but they'll be more durable than tyres that are solid and more likely to be puncture-proof. You should choose models with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to assist you on difficult surfaces.

Having a single front wheel could indicate that three-wheelers can be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Make sure the model you choose can fit in the boot of your car and can be stood up, if needed. Certain models can be folded by one hand, and can be raised when folded. This can help save space in a small car boot.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric seat and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It is a part of the frame of the buggy instead of being placed on top of it like the modular chair. This enables a much more ergonomically appropriate position for baby that instantly gives an lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb's edge) and a better stability and balance.

The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel enables agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are generally air-filled and feature suspension, providing an excellent ride on even the roughest trails and roads.
