Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are known for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini now owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or full swivel wheel to easily pop-up curbs, and boasts a quick one-hand folding. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cozy lie-flat baby bed) It also converts into an active double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
A 3-wheel buggy is a great choice for those who want speed and lightness. This style of pushchair has one wheel in the front and two wheels in the back, which makes them extremely easy to turn with a sixpence, and can overcome bumps and high kerbs effortlessly.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and a good suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by the way it adapted to off-road walking and difficult terrain" she added "it handled grass, cobbles bumpy pavements and dirt tracks really well, and it was a great way to navigate up and down kerbs."
If you're looking to purchase a buggy with three wheels for your baby, make sure that the sling fabric is facing the parent. Consider a modular which can be used as an infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus, (which provides a cozy lay-flat bed that is certified for sleep at night) or Sport Verso (which grows along with your child, starting from day dot to a modular seat with a seat made of fabric). All their 3 wheel buggies are tested for stability and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! For even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. So you can get fit while pushing the kids.
Folding is simple
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight walkers and buggies that are easy to fold. This is especially applicable to buggies with three wheels. They usually come with a simple one-handed folding mechanism which allows you to easily fold the buggy in half, making it much easier to squeeze it into your car's boot or cupboard at home. 3 wheeler pushchairs of these lightweight stroller and buggy models come with a handy carry bag that makes it easier to take your stroller on the go.
Another benefit of 3-wheel buggys is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is thanks to their superb geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels both in the front and back, which is essential for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. Furthermore the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies can swivel, which further helps to give you great agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks fantastic and comes from a company better known for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot, and can be used up to age 3 years old. The tyres with air-filled rims of this stroller for all terrains are impressive and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was extremely impressed by its ability to conquer rough terrain, saying that "it is able to navigate cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements with ease, and is a pleasure to jog on - the lockable swivel front wheel gives you excellent stability."
