Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are known for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has a lock-back or full swivel front wheel that is able to pop up curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth, with the carrycot + (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies) and can be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
When you choose a 3 wheeled buggy, you're choosing flexibility and lightness of handling. This type of pushchair has a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, making them extremely easy to turn with sixpence, and they can overcome bumps and high kerbs easily.
Choose a buggy equipped with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by the way it coped with off-road walking and challenging terrain" noting that "it was able to handle grass, cobbles bumpy pavements, dirt tracks very well, and was a breeze to navigate between kerbs."
If you're looking to purchase a 3-wheeled buggy for your newborn, make sure that the fabric sling is facing the parent. Or, consider an adjustable model that can be converted into an infant car seat or a comfy, flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus, (which offers a comfortable lay-flat mattress that is suitable for overnight sleep) or Sport Verso (which grows along with your child, from day dot to modular seat with a fabric seat). The 3 wheel buggies from Mountain Buggy have the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! To give you even more stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel with a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. You can stay fit while running with your kids.
Folding is simple
Many buggy brands have come up with lightweight strollers and buggies that are very easy to fold. This is especially true for 3 wheel buggies. The buggy folds in half using a simple one-handed mechanism. This makes it much easier to keep it in a small car boot or a cabinet at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also have an elegant carry bag that makes it easier to transport the pushchair when you're out and about.
Another major benefit of 3-wheel buggys is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is due to their superior engineering design, geometry, and weight distribution. They typically have big wheels in both the rear and front of the buggy, which is particularly crucial when you are dealing with bumpy or rough roads or pavements. The wheels of a majority of 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which provides more maneuverability and allows you to better manage and steer the buggy over difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), a travel system that looks fantastic and is manufactured by a company better known for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children up to 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair is equipped with impressive tyres that have air in them and therefore don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was extremely impressed by its ability to conquer rough terrain, saying that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements with ease and is enjoyable to jog with - the lockable swivel front wheel offers the best stability."
What's more, this stylish buggy offers a one-handed quick and compact fold, as well as amazing storage options (including large baskets and a convenient toddler ride-on-board).
