Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their strength and durability. The MB Mini which is now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has the option of locking back or a full swivel front wheel that is able to pop up curbs and boasts a super quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth, with the carrycot + (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies), and it can also be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
A 3 wheel buggy is a great choice for those who want agility and lightness. This type of pushchair has one wheel in the front and two wheels at the back, so they're extremely easy to turn with sixpence, and they can navigate over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and a good suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by the way it adapted to off-road walking and tricky terrain," she added "it handled grass, cobbles bumpy pavements and dirt tracks very well, and was a great way to navigate between kerbs."
If you're thinking of buying a 3-wheel buggy to carry the newborn, ensure that the sling seat fabric is parent-facing, or consider a modular that can convert into a carrycot or an infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a comfortable sleeper that's certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which expands with your child as they grow from day dot with the use of a fabric sling to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same standards and stability tests as their 4-wheel models! They have a 16" rear tire with a lockable swivel which is ideal for jogging. You can stay fit while pushing your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have come up with lightweight buggies and strollers that are very easy to fold. This is particularly applicable to buggies with three wheels. They usually have an easy one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it easier to squeeze it into your small car boot or cupboard at home. A majority of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag that makes it easier to carry your pushchair on the move.
Another big advantage of 3-wheel buggy is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is due to their excellent design, engineering, and weight distribution. The buggies typically have large wheels in both the front and back, which is essential for bumpy or rough surfaces or roads. Moreover, the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies swivel, which further helps to increase your agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy over tricky surfaces.
This is the case for the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm) which is a travel system that is stunning and is manufactured by a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It's suitable from birth with its carrycot and is suitable up to the age of 3. The all-terrain pushchair comes with impressive tyres that are air filled and so don't need pumping. Kath, a MFM reviewer, was impressed by its capability to deal with rough terrain. 3 wheeler pushchairs said it "navigates smoothly over grass and cobbles, as well as bumpy surfaces effortlessly."
Furthermore, this fashionable buggy features a one-handed and compact fold and some excellent storage options (including an ample basket and a convenient toddler ride on board). It also comes with a set of LED visibility Lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and will greatly improve your visibility while you're out.
Easy to store
