Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers have a reputation for being durable and tough. The MB Mini is now is owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or full swivel wheel to easily pop-up curbs and features a simple one-hand folding. Suitable from birth with the carrycot plus (a cosy lie flat baby bed), it also converts into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you select a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for agility and lightness in handling. This type of pushchair is simple to maneuver and is able to navigate over bumps and kerbs.
If you're looking to take your buggy off-road it's essential to find one that has a great suspension and pneumatic tyres, so look out for these features. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed by how well it handled off-road walking and difficult terrain," saying that "it handled grass and cobbles, bumpy surfaces, and dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're thinking of buying a 3-wheel buggy to carry the newborn, ensure that the fabric sling seat is parent-facing, or consider modulars that convert into a carrycot or infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a cosy and a lie flat bed that is certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which expands with your child from day to dot by converting an sling seat made of fabric to a modular seat). All their 3 wheel buggies have the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! They have 16" rear tire that has a lockable swivel wheel that is perfect for running. You can stay active while playing with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight buggies and walkers that fold easily. This is especially true for buggies with 3 wheels. The buggy folds in half with a simple one-handed operation. This makes it easier to store it in a small car boot or a cabinet at home. Many of these lightweight stroller and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag to make it easier to take your pushchair on the move.
Another major benefit of 3-wheeled buggys is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is thanks to their excellent design, engineering and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels both in the front and back, which is crucial for bumpy or rough surfaces or roads. Additionally the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are swivel, which further helps to increase your agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy on tricky surfaces.
This is the case for the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), a travel system that looks fantastic and is from the same company that is famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot and is suitable up to age 3. The tyres with air-filled rims of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't need pumping. Kath was an MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to navigate rough terrain. She noted that it "navigates well over grass and cobbles, as well as bumpy surfaces easily."
This stylish stroller also comes with an easy and compact fold with one hand, and also offers a variety of storage options (including an ample basket and a toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and really enhance your visibility when out and about.
Easy to store
The 3-wheel buggy is among the most compact and portable models of prams that allows you to navigate it over uneven terrain. They are a great option for those who enjoy exploring the countryside and urban landscapes.
A 3-wheeler can be extremely quick to turn around thanks to its the perfect geometry and engineering, delivering incredible agility and superior maneuverability. They are also simple to push and can be used for people of all sizes. They can even be controlled with one hand, as most of them have a front swivel wheel that can be turned on a dime.
Sport verso(tm), a world-first, is built on the OG inline(tm). It offers a modularity that protects your pocketbook. You can start with a single buggy and then increase it to two or more as your family expands. It features an auto-lounge flat bed, a spacious cushioned seat and a new 5-point harness. It can also be connected to an infant car seat or a carrycot. It also comes with a lot of storage space. It includes a large shopping basket, front zip pocket and two mesh pockets in the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies with 4-wheelers is usually easier and lighter. This is because the weight of a buggy is evenly distributed over all four wheels, meaning it's not as heavy an effort to carry around. They are ideal for those looking for a lightweight and easy-to-transport buggy.
The renown pioneers of all-terrain adventure, Mountain Buggy, have released a new 3-wheel buggy that is perfect for those who love to spend time in the outdoors.
