Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers have a reputation for being tough and durable. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, comes with an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel that can easily open curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. Suitable from birth with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), it also converts into an active double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
If you select a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for the utmost agility and ease of handling. 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 the sixpence and navigate over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
If you're planning to take your buggy off-road it's essential to find one that has a great suspension and pneumatic tyres so be sure to look for these features. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," adding that "it handled cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks very well."
If you're looking to purchase a 3-wheeled buggy for your newborn, make sure that the sling fabric is positioned in the direction of the parent. Or, consider a modular which can be used as a carrycot, infant car seat or a comfortable, flat bed such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a comfortable lay-flat bed that is certified to sleep overnight) or Sport Verso (which grows with your child, from day dot to a modular seat with a seat made of fabric). All of their 3-wheel buggies are tested for stability and standards as models with four wheels, too! To further increase stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel with a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. You can keep fit while playing with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have created lightweight buggies and strollers that are easy to fold. This is particularly true for 3 wheel buggies. They typically have a simple one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to easily fold the buggy in half, making it easier to put it in your car's boot or cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also have an elegant carry bag that makes it even easier to transport the pushchair when you're out and about.
The superior maneuverability of a 3-wheel buggy is an additional benefit. This is due to their superb design, engineering and weight distribution. They usually have large wheels both in the front and back of the buggy, which are particularly important when tackling rough or bumpy roads or pavements. 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 tricky surfaces.
This is the case with the new 3-wheeled buggy called Sport(tm), which is an impressive-looking travel device from a company that is normally better known for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for infants and children up to 3 years old. The tyres with air-filled rims of this stroller for all terrains are impressive and don't require pumping. Kath is an MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to navigate rough terrain. 3 wheeled pushchair said it "navigates well over grass and cobbles, as well as bumpy surfaces easily."
This stylish buggy also offers an easy and compact fold with one hand, and also offers a variety of storage options (including an ample basket as well as a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with an assortment of LED Visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable, and will really improve your visibility while you're out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you easily maneuver it over uneven terrain. As a result, they're often a better choice for off-road walks than 4-wheel buggies and can be great for those who want to go out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheeler is mobile and agile. Its perfect design and geometry allows for quick turns. They are also easy to push, and can be used by people of all sizes. Most of them can be controlled by one hand since they have an front wheel that turns at a whim.
Sport verso(tm), a world-first, is built on the OG inline(tm). It is a modular system that helps protect your wallet. You can start with just one buggy, but then expand to two or more as your family expands. It has an auto-lying flat bed, a large seat unit that has padding and a 5-point harness. It also has the ability to attach a carrycot or car seat. It also has a large shopping bag with an open front zip pocket and two mesh pockets at the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies with 4-wheelers is usually more simple and less heavy. This is because 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. This makes them perfect for those who prefer lightweight and easy to transport buggy.
