Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are well-known for their strength and durability. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel to easily pop up curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), and it can be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheeler is a fantastic option for those looking for agility and lightness. This model of pushchair comes with a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, making them extremely easy to turn with sixpence, and they can get over bumps or high kerbs easily.
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 by how well it handled off-road walking and rough terrain," adding that "it handled grass and cobbles bumpy surfaces, dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're looking to buy a 3-wheeled buggy for a newborn, ensure that the sling's fabric is positioned in the direction of the parent. You could also consider an adjustable model that can be converted into an infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a cozy lay-flat bed that is certified to sleep overnight) or Sport Verso (which expands with your child, from day dot to a modular seat with a fabric seat). All their 3 wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! To further increase stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with a lockable front swivel that is ideal for jogging. So you can get fit while pushing the kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have created lightweight strollers and buggies that are easy to fold. This is particularly true for 3 wheel buggies. They usually have an easy, one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to easily fold the buggy in half, making it easier to fit it into the car's small storage space or even a cupboard at home. A majority of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a handy carry bag to make it easier to take your stroller on the go.
Another major benefit of 3-wheeled buggys is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is due to their superior geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggy often has large wheels in both the front and back, which is essential for bumpy or rough pavements or roads. Moreover, the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies can swivel, which further helps to give you great agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm) It's a great travel system that is stunning and comes from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for infants and children as young as 3 years old. The air-filled tyres of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't require pumping. Kath, a MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to navigate rough terrain. She noted that it "navigates smoothly over grass and cobbles, and bumpy surfaces effortlessly."
This stylish buggy also offers the ability to fold compactly and quickly using just one hand and also offers a variety of storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with a set of LED visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and will greatly improve your visibility while you're out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you easily maneuver it on uneven terrain. They're typically a better option for off-road trips than 4-wheel buggies and are ideal for those who like to go out and explore the countryside or urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is very agile and manoeuvrable. Its perfect engineering and geometry allow for quick turns. They are also simple to push, and can be used for people of all sizes. Most of them can be operated by just one hand because they have an in-front wheel that can turn on a dime.
Sport verso(tm), a world-first, is built on the OG inline(tm). It provides a modular design that safeguards your pocketbook. It is possible to start with a single stroller and then upgrade to two or more as your family expands. It comes with an auto-lying flat bed, a spacious seat unit with padded padding and a five-point harness. It can also be connected to a car seat or carrycot. In addition, it comes with a lot of storage space including a large shopping basket, front zip pocket and two mesh pockets on the rear.
Easy to transport
Compared to 4-wheelers, 3 wheel buggies are usually much lighter and easier to maneuver and handle. The weight of the buggie is evenly distributed across all four wheels, so it is not a heavy burden to push. This makes them perfect for those who need a light and easy to transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventure. It has released a new 3-wheeled buggy for those who love spending time in the great outdoors. The Upp XL comes in black or grey, and comes with a suspension system and oversized front wheel that offer outstanding off-road performance.
