Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini is now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has the option of locking back or a full swivel front wheel that is able to lift curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies), and it can also be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
A 3-wheel buggy is a fantastic option for those who need mobility and lightness. This kind of buggy is easy to maneuver and can easily navigate over bumps and kerbs.
Find a buggy that has pneumatic tyres and a good suspension if you intend to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by how well it performed on off-road walks and challenging terrain" noting that "it was able to handle grass, cobbles bumpy pavements and dirt tracks very well, and was great for navigating up and down kerbs."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy for a newborn, make sure the sling seat made of fabric is oriented towards the parents, or think about a modular that can convert into a carrycot, or infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a comfortable and a lie flat bed that is certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which grows with your child from day to dot using the use of a fabric sling to modular seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! They have 16" rear tire with a lockable swivel wheel which is ideal for running. You can stay fit while running with your children.
Folding is easy
Many buggy brands have created strollers and buggies that are lightweight and are easy to fold. This is particularly true for 3 wheel buggies. The buggy folds in half with ease by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it much easier to store it in a small car boot or home cupboard. A lot of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also have an elegant carry bag that makes it easier to transport the pushchair when you're on the move.
Another benefit of 3-wheel buggy is their ability to maneuver better on rough terrain. This is due to their superior geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels in both the front and back, which is important for bumpy or rough pavements or roads. The wheels of most 3 wheel buggies are swiveled, which gives you greater agility and allows you to better manage and steer the buggy on tricky surfaces.
This is the case for the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm) It's a great travel system that looks stunning and is from the same company that is famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It's suitable for babies with its carrycot, and up to age 3. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that are air filled and so don't need pumping. Kath was an MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to handle rough terrain. She noted that it "navigates well over grass and cobbles, as well as bumpy surfaces easily."
What's more, this stylish buggy offers a one-handed quick and compact fold, as well as excellent storage options (including an ample basket and a convenient toddler ride on board). It even has a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and can really enhance your visibility when out and about.
Easy to store

Easy to transport

This makes them ideal for those who prefer an easy and light transport buggy.
