Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are well-known for their strength and durability. The MB Mini which is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features the option of locking back or a full swivel front wheel to easily lift curbs and boasts a super quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), it also converts into an active inline double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
If you select a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for the utmost agility and ease of handling. This type of pushchair has one wheel in the front and two wheels at the back, so they're very easy to turn on a sixpence, and can get over bumps or high kerbs effortlessly.
If you're looking to take your buggy off-road, it's important to find one with a high-quality suspension and pneumatic tyres so be sure to look for these features. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and challenging terrain" noting that "it did a great job handling cobbles, grass bumpy pavements and dirt tracks very well, and was a great way to navigate through kerbs."
If you're looking to buy a 3-wheeled buggy for your baby, make sure that the sling fabric is facing the parent. Or, consider an adjustable model that can be converted into a carrycot, car seat for infants, or a comfortable, flat bed such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a cosy, lay-flat bed certified for overnight sleep) or Sport Verso (which grows with your child, from day dot to a modular seat with a seat made of fabric). The 3 wheel buggies from Mountain Buggy pass the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! To give you even more stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel with a lockable swivel front that's perfect for jogging. So you can get fit while pushing the kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have come up with lightweight strollers and buggies that are very easy to fold. This is particularly true for buggies with 3 wheels. The buggy folds 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 home cupboard. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also come with a clever carry bag that makes it even easier to transport the pushchair when you're on the go.
The superior maneuverability of a 3-wheel buggy is an additional benefit. This is due to their excellent engineering design, geometry, and weight distribution. They typically have big wheels in both the front and back of the buggy, which are particularly crucial when you are dealing with bumpy or rough roads or pavements. Moreover the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which can help to provide you with great agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy over tricky surfaces.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm), a travel system that is stunning and is manufactured by a company better known for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for infants and children who are 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that have air in them and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was awed by its ability to conquer rough terrain, stating that "it can navigate well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily and is a joy to run with - the lockable swivel front wheel provides the best stability."
Additionally, this sleek buggy offers a one-handed quick and compact fold and some fantastic storage options (including an ample basket and a handy toddler ride-on board). It also comes with a set of LED visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable, and will really increase your visibility while out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you easily maneuver it on uneven terrain. This is why they're typically a better option for off-road walks than buggies with four wheels and can be great for those who like to get out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheeler can be very quick to turn around thanks to its perfect geometry and engineering delivering superb agility and superior manoeuvrability. In terms of the kerb pop, they're very easy to push and can be used by people of all sizes. They can be even steered by one hand, since most of them have an upper swivel that turns 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 pocketbook. You can begin with just one buggy and then upgrade to two or more as your family expands. It has an auto-lying flat bed, a wide seat unit that has padding and a five-point harness. It can also be attached to a car seat or carrycot. In addition, it offers plenty of storage space, including a huge shopping basket, front zip pocket and 2 rear mesh pockets.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies with four wheelers is typically simpler and lighter. This is because the weight of a buggy is evenly distributed over all four wheels, so it's not as heavy an effort to carry around. This makes them perfect for those who need a light and easy to transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventure and has launched a brand new three-wheeled buggy for those who love spending time in the great outdoors.
