Stability

With four wheels and a center of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that a three-wheel buggy isn't worth considering, as the majority of these models are designed to withstand everything from rough terrain to busy high streets.

Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels, and a lockable wheel on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to fall off when driving on rough roads. These buggies are typically equipped with pneumatic tyres, too. They are great at handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

It's also important to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Make sure that the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it's compatible with second seat and buggy boards, if you are planning to take an infant along. Many 3-wheelers fold flat and be stood upright when collapsed - handy if you have an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. However, some require you to remove the front wheel when folding if you want it to fit into even smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than four-wheeled strollers. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheels on the front which allows you to control and change direction with only one hand. Certain models come with locks on the wheel to offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can even be used with a second seat or buggy board in case you're planning to grow your family.

If you're considering taking your three-wheeled vehicle off of paved tracks, it's worth opting for a vehicle equipped with tyres filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the toughest terrain.

Some models can fold in one hand and are freestanding when collapsed, which can make them more compact in smaller car boots.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric seat and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the frame of the buggy instead of being placed on top of it like an adjustable chair. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require as much weight and effort to pop the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better stability and balance.

The sling fabrics that are used in these types of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean.
