Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are known for their durability and toughness. The MB Mini is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features the option of locking back or a full swivel front wheel to easily lift curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot as well as (a cosy lie flat baby bed) It also converts into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
A 3 wheel buggy is an excellent option for those looking for mobility and lightness. This type of pushchair is easy to maneuver and will easily navigate over bumps and kerbs.
If you're planning to take your buggy off-road it is essential to choose one with a high-quality suspension and pneumatic tyres, so look out for these features. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it handled off-road walking and rough terrain," adding that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're considering purchasing a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate infants, make sure the sling seat made of 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 offers a cosy, lie flat bed designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which grows with your child as they grow from day dot by converting an sling seat made of fabric to a modular seats). The 3 wheel buggies from Mountain Buggy pass the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! To further increase stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel with a lockable front swivel, which is perfect for running. You can stay fit while pushing your kids.
Folding is simple
Many buggy makers have designed lightweight walkers and buggies that fold easily. This is particularly the case for buggies that have 3 wheels. They usually have a simple one-handed folding mechanism which allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it much easier to squeeze it into your car's boot or cupboard at home. A lot of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag to make it easier to transport your pushchair on the move.
The greater maneuverability of a 3-wheeled buggy is another big advantage. This is due to their excellent geometry, engineering and weight distribution. They often have large wheels both in the front and back of the buggy, which is especially important when tackling rough or bumpy roads or pavements. Moreover the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies are swivel, which further helps to give you great agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult terrains.
This is the case for the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), a travel system that is stunning and comes from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot, and up to the age of 3. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that have air in them and so don't need pumping. 3 wheel pushchair was extremely impressed by its ability to conquer rough terrain, stating that "it can navigate well over cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements with ease and is enjoyable to run with The lockable swivel in the front wheel gives you excellent stability."
What's more, this stylish buggy comes with a single-handed and compact fold as well as excellent storage options (including a spacious basket and a convenient toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and can really enhance your visibility when out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy is one of the most portable and compact styles of pram which allows you to manoeuvre it on uneven ground.
