Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini which is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel that can easily pop up curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cosy lie-flat baby bed) and can be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you opt for a three wheel buggy you're opting for flexibility and lightness of handling. This type of buggy is easy to maneuver and will easily navigate over bumps and kerbs.
Find a buggy that has pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed by how well it handled off-road walking and difficult terrain," noting that "it handled grass and cobbles, bumpy surfaces, and dirt tracks very well."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate a newborn, make sure the sling seat fabric is facing the parent, or you could consider an adjustable model that can be converted into a carrycot or an infant car seat, like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which features a cozy and a lie flat bed that is designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which expands with your child as they grow from day dot using a fabric sling seat to modular seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies meet the same standards and stability tests as their 4-wheel models! For even more stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel with a lockable front swivel, which is perfect for jogging. You can stay fit while pushing your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight walkers and buggies that are easy to fold. This is especially applicable to buggies with three wheels. They typically have an easy, one-handed folding mechanism that lets you fold the buggy in half, making it much easier to fit it into the car's small boot or cupboard at home. A lot of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a handy carry bag that makes it easier to carry your pushchair on the move.
Another major benefit of 3-wheeled buggys is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is due to their excellent geometry, engineering and weight distribution. They typically have big wheels both in the rear and front of the buggy, which are particularly important when dealing with rough or bumpy roads or pavements. Furthermore the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are pivoting, which helps to provide you with great agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy on tricky surfaces.
This is the case with the brand-new 3-wheel buggy named Sport(tm), a travel system that is stunning and comes from the same company that is famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for infants and children who are 3 years old. The tyres that are filled with air of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't require pumping. Kath is an MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to navigate rough terrain. She noted that it "navigates well over grass and cobbles, as well as bumpy surfaces easily."
Additionally, this sleek buggy features a one-handed and compact fold and some fantastic storage options (including large baskets and a comfortable toddler ride-on-board). It also comes with an assortment of LED Visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable, and will significantly improve your visibility while you're out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy allows you to easily maneuver it over uneven terrain. They are a fantastic option for those who enjoy exploring the countryside and urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is very mobile and agile. Its perfect geometry and engineering allows for quick turns. In terms of the kerb pop, they're very easy to push and can be utilized by people of all sizes. They can even be steered with one hand, as they're equipped with an swivel wheel in the front that can be turned on a dime.
A world first built on the OG of inline(tm) technology and sport verso(tm) offers an innovative modularity that is future-proofs your pocket, providing you with one buggy starting at day dot, which can then adapt to take 2 or more as your family grows, all within the footprint of a single buggy. It has an auto-lying flat bed, a spacious seat unit with padded padding and a five-point harness. It also has the ability to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. As a bonus, it comes with a lot of storage space including a large shopping basket with a front zip pocket as well as two mesh pockets on the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3-wheel buggies to four wheelers is typically easier and lighter. This is because the weight of a buggy is evenly distributed across all four wheels, so it's not as much as an effort to move around. They are the perfect choice for those looking for a lightweight and easy-to-transport buggy.
The renown pioneers of all-terrain adventure, Mountain Buggy, have released a new 3-wheel buggy that's perfect for those who like to be outdoors. The Upp XL comes in black or grey, and comes with an suspension system and a large front wheel, which provides an outstanding off-road experience.
