Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?

It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), and it can also be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
If you select a 3 wheeled buggy, you're choosing agility and lightness in handling. This model of pushchair comes with one wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, which makes them extremely easy to turn with a sixpence, and can navigate over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
Choose a buggy equipped with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by how well it adapted to off-road walking and challenging terrain" noting that "it did a great job handling cobbles, grass bumpy pavements, dirt tracks really well, and it was a breeze to navigate through kerbs."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy for the newborn, ensure that the fabric sling seat is facing the parent, or you could consider an adjustable model that can be converted into a carrycot or an infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a comfortable sleeper that's designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which expands with your child from day to dot by converting the use of a fabric sling to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! To give you even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with a lockable front swivel, which is perfect for running. You can stay active while running with your kids.
Easy to fold

This is especially true for three wheel buggies. 3 wheeler pushchair can be folded in half with ease with a simple one-handed operation. This makes it easier to store it in a small car boot or home cupboard. A majority of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a handy carry bag to make it easier to carry your stroller on the go.

The buggies typically have large wheels both in the front and back, which is essential for bumpy or rough pavements or roads.
