Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini now owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or full swivel wheel to pop-up curbs easily and boasts a quick one-hand folding. 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 maneuver
If you opt for a three 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 extremely easy to turn with the sixpence and navigate over bumps or high kerbs effortlessly.
Find a buggy that has pneumatic tyres and a good suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," noting that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks very well."
If you're looking to purchase a buggy with three wheels for your newborn, make sure that the sling fabric is facing the parent. Consider an adjustable model that can be converted into a carrycot, car seat for infants, or a comfy, flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus, (which offers a comfortable, lay-flat bed certified for overnight sleep) or Sport Verso (which grows along with your child, starting from day dot to modular seat with a seat made of fabric). All their 3 wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! For even more stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel that has a lockable front swivel that is ideal for running. You can stay fit while pushing the kids.
Folding is easy
Many buggy brands have developed lightweight strollers and buggies that are easy to fold. This is particularly applicable to buggies with three wheels. They usually have a simple, one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it easier to fit it into your car's or cabinet at home. Many of these lightweight stroller and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag that makes it easier to transport your pushchair around.
Another benefit of 3-wheel buggy is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is thanks to their superb geometry, engineering and weight distribution. They usually have large wheels both in the back and the front of the buggy, which are particularly crucial when you are dealing with rough or bumpy roads or pavements. Moreover the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which can help to increase your agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy over difficult terrains.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy named Sport(tm) which is a travel system that looks stunning and comes from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi).
