Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their durability and toughness. The MB Mini is now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has the option of locking back or a full swivel front wheel that is able to lift curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot and (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies), and it can also be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
If you select a 3 wheel buggy, you're aiming for flexibility and lightness of handling. This kind of buggy is easy to maneuver and can easily overcome bumps and high kerbs.
If you're planning to take your buggy off the 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 was "really impressed by the way it handled off-road walking and difficult terrain," saying that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate infants, make sure the sling seat fabric is parent-facing, or consider modulars that convert into a carrycot or an infant car seat, like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a comfortable and a lie flat bed that is approved for sleeping at night) or sport verso (which grows with your child from day to dot by converting the use of a fabric sling to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies pass the same safety standards and stability tests as their four-wheel models! To further increase stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel that has a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. This means you can be fit while pushing the children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have come up with strollers and buggies that are lightweight and are easy to fold. This is particularly applicable to buggies with three wheels. The buggy can fold in half with ease using a simple one-handed mechanism. This makes it easier to store it in a small car boot or in a cupboard at home. A lot of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a handy carry bag that makes it easier to transport your pushchair around.
Another big advantage of 3-wheel buggys is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is due to their superior engineering, geometry and weight distribution. They typically have big wheels both in the back and the front of the buggy, which is especially important when tackling bumpy or rough roads or pavements. Additionally the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are pivoting, which helps to give you great agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult terrains.
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 more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children as young as 3 years old. The all-terrain pushchair comes with impressive tires that are air-filled and don't require pumping. Kath, a MFM reviewer, was awed by its capability to deal with rough terrain. three wheel pushchair said it "navigates smoothly over grass and cobbles and bumpy surfaces easily."
This stylish stroller also comes with 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 even comes with a game changing set of LED Visibility lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and really enhance your visibility when out and out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you easily maneuver it on uneven terrain. This is why they're generally a better option for off-road walks than buggies with four wheels and can be a great option for those who want to go out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheeler can be very quick to turn with a the perfect geometry and engineering, delivering superb agility and superior manoeuvrability. They are also easy to push, and are suitable for people of all sizes. The majority of them can be controlled by one hand since they come with a front wheel 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. It is possible to start with a single stroller and then increase it to two or more as your family grows. It comes with an auto-lying flat bed, a spacious seat unit with padded padding and a 5-point harness. It can also be connected to the car seat or carrycot. As a bonus, it offers plenty of storage space, including a huge shopping basket along with a front zip pocket and two mesh pockets in the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies to 4-wheelers is often easier and lighter. This is due to the fact that the weight of a 3 wheeler is evenly distributed over all four wheels, meaning it's not as much as a burden to push around. They are the perfect choice for those who want a lightweight and easy-to-transport buggy.
