Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their center of gravity being balanced by your child's weight in the seat are generally more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worth considering since they can take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels and one that locks on the front. This makes it more comfortable to drive and less likely to snap apart on rough roads.

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 planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot.

Fabric Sling Seat
