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 example, features a lock-back or full swivel front wheel to easily pop up curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot and (a cosy lie-flat baby bed) and can also be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A 3-wheel buggy is a fantastic choice for those who want agility and lightness. This kind of pushchair is easy to maneuver and will easily overcome bumps and high kerbs.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," adding that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks very well."
If you are looking to purchase a 3-wheeled buggy for a newborn, ensure that the sling fabric is facing the parent. Or, consider a modular that can be used as an infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus, (which provides a cosy, lay-flat bed certified to sleep overnight) or Sport Verso (which expands with your child's development, from day dot to a modular seat with a fabric seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same standards and stability tests as their four-wheel models! To further increase stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel that has a lockable front swivel that is ideal for running. So you can get fit while pushing the kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have come up with strollers and buggies that are lightweight and are easy to fold. This is especially true for 3 wheel buggies. They usually come with an easy one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it easier to fit it into the car's small or cabinet at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also come with a clever carry bag that makes it even easy to transport the stroller when you're on the go.
The superior maneuverability of a 3-wheel buggy is another big advantage. This is due to their superior engineering design, geometry, and weight distribution. They often have large wheels in both the back and the front of the buggy, which is especially crucial when you are dealing with rough or bumpy roads or pavements. Additionally the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are pivoting, which helps to provide you with great agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy over difficult terrains.
This is the case for the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm) which is a travel system that looks stunning and is from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot, and can be used up to age 3. This all-terrain pushchair is equipped with impressive tyres that are air filled and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was awed by its ability to tackle rough terrain, saying that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements with ease and is enjoyable to jog on The lockable swivel in the front wheel offers excellent stability."
