Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are known for their strength and durability. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has a lock-back or full swivel front wheel that is able to lift curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth thanks to the carrycot and (a cosy lie flat baby bed) It also converts into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you opt for a three wheel buggy, you're aiming for flexibility and lightness of handling. This kind of pushchair is simple to maneuver and is able to overcome bumps and high kerbs.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really impressed by the way it handled off-road walking and difficult terrain," adding that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks extremely well."
If you are looking to purchase a 3-wheeled buggy for your baby, make sure that the fabric sling is facing the parent. You could also consider an adjustable model that can be transformed into an infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a comfortable lay-flat mattress that is suitable for sleep at night) or Sport Verso (which grows along with your child's development, from day dot to a modular seat with a fabric seat). The 3 wheel buggies from Mountain Buggy pass the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! For even more stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel with lockable swivel front that's perfect for jogging. You can keep fit while playing with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have created lightweight strollers and buggies that are very easy to fold. This is especially true for buggies with 3 wheels. They typically have a simple one-handed folding mechanism that lets you fold the buggy in half, making it easier to put it in the car's small or cabinet at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also have an elegant carry bag that makes it easier to carry the stroller when you're out and about.
A 3-wheel buggy's superior maneuverability is an additional benefit. This is thanks to their excellent design, engineering and weight distribution. They often have large wheels in both the front and back of the buggy, which is particularly important when tackling bumpy or rough roads or pavements. Moreover the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which can help to give you great agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult terrains.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks stunning and is from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It's suitable for babies with its carrycot, and up to age 3. The air-filled tyres of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was awed by its ability to conquer rough terrain, stating that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and is a joy to jog with The lockable swivel front wheel gives you the best stability."
This stylish stroller also comes with an easy and compact fold with one hand, as well as some great storage options (including an ample basket as well as a toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a changing set of LED visibility lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and can really improve your visibility when you're out and out and about.
