Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their durability and toughness. The MB Mini which is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel to easily open curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth thanks to the carrycot and (a cozy lie-flat baby bed) It also converts into an active inline double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A 3 wheel buggy is a great option for those looking for speed and lightness. This model of pushchair comes with a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, so they're very easy to turn on sixpence, and they can get over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
If 3 wheel pushchair planning to take your buggy off the road it is essential to choose one with a high-quality suspension and pneumatic tyres, so look out for these features. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain" noting that "it did a great job handling cobbles, grass, bumpy pavements, and dirt tracks very well, and it was a breeze to navigate up and down kerbs."
If you're thinking of buying a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate the newborn, ensure that the sling seat fabric is oriented towards the parents, or think about modulars that convert into a carrycot or an infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a comfortable sleeper that's designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which grows with your child as they grow from day dot by converting a fabric sling seat to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! To give you even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with lockable swivel front that's perfect for jogging. So you can get fit while pushing your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight walkers and buggies that are easy to fold. This is especially true of 3 wheel buggies. The buggy can fold in half with ease by using a simple, one-hand 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 come with a clever carry bag that makes it easier to transport the pushchair when you're on the move.
Another benefit of 3-wheeled buggys is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is due to their superb geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels both in the front and back, which is important for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. The wheels of most 3 wheel buggies can be swiveled, which gives you more maneuverability and makes it easier to manage and steer the buggy on tricky surfaces.
This is the case with the new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), which is an amazing-looking travel system from a company that is normally better 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. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that have air in them and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was really impressed with its ability to tackle rough terrain, stating that "it is able to navigate cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements with ease and is enjoyable to jog with The lockable swivel front wheel offers the best stability."
This stylish stroller also comes with the ability to fold compactly and quickly with one hand, along with a range of great storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a game changing set of LED lights that are easy to use, rechargeable, and will improve your visibility when you're out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you easily maneuver it over uneven terrain. They're typically a better option for off-road trips than buggies with four wheels and are ideal for those who like to go out and explore the countryside or urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is very agile and manoeuvrable. Its perfect engineering and geometry allow for quick turns. In terms of kerb pop, they're also extremely easy to push and can be used by people of all sizes. Most of them can be controlled by one hand as they come with an front wheel that can rotate at a whim.
Sport verso(tm) which is a world-first model, is based on the OG inline(tm). It is a modular system that helps protect your wallet. You can begin with a single buggy, but then expand to two or more as your family grows. It comes with an auto-lying flat bed, a large seat unit that has padding and a 5-point harness. It can also be attached to the car seat or carrycot. It also has a large shopping bag with a front zip pocket, and two rear mesh pockets.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies with 4-wheelers is usually simpler and lighter. The weight of the buggie is evenly spread over the four wheels, ensuring that it's not a huge burden to push. This makes them ideal for those who prefer an easy and light transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventure and has released a new 3-wheeled buggy designed for those who enjoy being outdoors. The Upp XL is available in grey and black, and has superb off road performance thanks to its large front wheel, suspension, and quick one-hand fold.
The Upp XL comes with a fabric sling that has been designed to be parent facing. This allows you to connect with your baby. It also includes a cosy carrycot, which is approved for sleep at night and a firm breathable mattress.
