Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are well-known for their durability and toughness. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, comes with a lock-back or full swivel front wheel to easily lift curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth, with the carrycot and (a cosy lie-flat baby bed) and can also be converted to an active double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
When you choose a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for agility and lightness in handling. This type of pushchair has one wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, so they're very easy to turn on a sixpence, and can get over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
Choose a buggy equipped with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and challenging terrain" noting that "it was able to handle grass, cobbles, bumpy pavements, and dirt tracks really well, and was great for navigating through kerbs."
If three wheel pushchair are looking to purchase a buggy with three wheels for a newborn, ensure that the fabric sling is positioned in the direction of the parent. Consider an adjustable model that can be used as a carrycot, infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus, (which offers a comfortable lay-flat mattress that is suitable for sleep at night) or Sport Verso (which expands with your child, starting from day dot to a modular seat with a fabric seat). All their 3 wheel buggies are tested for stability and standards as 4-wheel models, too! They have a 16" rear tire that has an swivel wheel lockable that is perfect for running. You can keep fit while running with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have created lightweight buggies and strollers that fold easily. This is especially true of 3 wheel buggies. The buggy can fold in half with ease with a simple one-handed operation. This makes it easier to put it in a compact 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 transport your pushchair on the move.
A 3-wheel buggy's superior maneuverability is an additional benefit. This is due to their superior geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggy often has large wheels both in the front and back, which is crucial for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. The wheels of the majority of 3 wheel buggies can be turned 360 degrees, which allows for more agility and allows you to easily control and steer the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheeled buggy called Sport(tm) Sport(tm), which is a fabulous-looking travel system from a manufacturer that is more well-known for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). It's suitable from birth with its carrycot and is suitable up to the age of 3 years old. The tyres with air-filled rims of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was awed by its ability to handle rough terrain, saying that "it navigates well over cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements with ease, and is a pleasure to jog with The lockable swivel in the front wheel gives you excellent stability."
This stylish buggy offers the ability to fold compactly and quickly with just one hand, as well as some great storage options (including an ample basket and a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with a set of LED Visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable, and will really enhance your visibility when you're out.
Easy to store
