Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and later be placed upright. This is a good option for those with an unwieldy boot space or have limited storage at home.

This allows for a more comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity, which is the ideal height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb's edge) and better stability and balance.
