Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are well-known for their durability and toughness. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel to easily lift curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the 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 wheeled buggy, you're choosing agility and lightness in handling. This style of pushchair has one wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, so they're very easy to turn on a sixpence, and can get over bumps or high kerbs easily.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and a good suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," saying that "it handled grass and cobbles, bumpy surfaces, and dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're planning to purchase a buggy with three wheels for your newborn, make sure that the sling's fabric is facing the parent. Consider a modular that can be used as a carrycot, infant car seat, or a comfortable, flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus (which provides a cozy lay-flat mattress that is suitable 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 meet the same safety standards and stability tests as their four-wheel models! To give you even more stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel with lockable front swivel that is ideal for jogging. You can stay fit while playing with your children.
Folding is simple
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight walkers and buggies that fold easily. This is particularly true for three wheel buggies. They usually come with an easy, one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it easier to squeeze it into your car's boot or cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight stroller and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag that makes it easier to take your stroller on the go.
Another benefit of 3-wheel buggys is their ability to maneuver better on rough terrain. This is thanks to their superior design, engineering, and weight distribution. The buggies typically have large wheels both in the front and back, which is crucial for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. The wheels of most 3 wheel buggies are swiveled, which gives you greater agility and makes it easier to manage and steer the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), which is an amazing-looking travel system from a manufacturer that is typically renowned for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for infants and children as young as 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair has 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. She said that it "navigates easily over grass, cobbles, and bumpy surfaces with ease."
What's more, this stylish buggy comes with a single-handed and compact fold as well as fantastic storage options (including an ample basket and a handy toddler ride-on-board). It even has a game changing set of LED lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and can really boost your visibility when you're out and out and.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you effortlessly maneuver it on rough terrain. They're typically a better option for off-road trips than buggies with four wheels. They can be a great option for those who want to get out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheeler can be very quick to turn with a perfect geometry and engineering delivering incredible agility and superior maneuverability. In terms of kerb pop, they're also extremely easy to push and can be used by people of all sizes. They can even be steered with one hand, as they're equipped with an upper swivel that can be turned on a dime.
A first of its kind, built upon the OG of inline(tm) technology; sport verso(tm) offers an innovative modularity that future proofs your budget, giving you one buggy from day dot, which can then be modified to accommodate two or more when your family expands, all within the footprint of a single buggy. It offers an auto lie flat bed, a wide padded seat unit and improved 5-point harness. 3 wheeled pushchair can also be attached to an infant car seat or carrycot. It also has a large shopping bag and the front zip pocket, and two mesh pockets on the rear.
Easy to transport
Compared to 4-wheelers, 3 wheel buggies tend to be a lot lighter and easier to maneuver and handle. The weight of the buggie is evenly spread over all four wheels so it's not a huge burden to push. This makes them ideal for those who prefer a light and easy to transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventure. It has launched a brand new three-wheeled buggy for those who enjoy being in the great outdoors.
