This reduces their size and makes them easier to maneuver through doorways.

Look for a model with the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

Fabric Sling Seat The main difference between a fabric sling and modular seat is that the fabric sling fits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity at just the right height. This results in a smoother push, a lighter curb-pop (you do not have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability.
