However, some will require you to take out the front wheel before folding if you wish to fit in even more compact space.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a seat made of fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy instead of being placed on top of it like an adjustable chair. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity that is the ideal height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't need the same amount of effort and weight to pop the buggy over the nose of a curb) and better stability and balance.
