Stability
Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balanced by your child's weight in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, as the majority of these models are designed to cope with everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.
For a buggy that's easy to control and will not let you down on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres as well, which are great at handling surfaces that aren't paved and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.
They are also excellent buggies to run with since they offer excellent stability on rougher terrain, and can aid you in staying with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them come with a spring suspension built-in so that your baby will have an enjoyable ride.
The main thing that can make a pushchair with three wheels difficult to maneuver is the large frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doors than a four-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels flip up when they are not being used, which reduces their overall size, and allows you get through doors with ease.
You'll also have to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Find out if the buggy comes with a lie-flat feature and if it's compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards, if you are planning to bring an infant along. Many 3 wheeler pushchair-wheelers will fold flat and be positioned upright when collapsed - handy if you have an insufficient car boot or a small storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you take off the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces.

If you're considering taking your three-wheeled bike off the tracks that are paved, it's worth choosing one with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most challenging terrain. These tyres may require periodic pumping, but will be far more durable than tyres made of solid rubber and more likely to be puncture-proof. Choose a model that has a an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.
A single front wheel could mean that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Make sure the model you choose fits inside your car's boot and can be set up in a straight line if needed. Certain models can be folded using one hand and can be raised when folded. This can save space in small car boot.

Fabric Sling Seat
The primary difference between a seat made of fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the frame of the buggy as opposed to being placed on top like an adjustable chair. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically correct position of the baby, resulting in a lower center of gravity at just the right height. This results in an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.
