Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are well-known for their strength and durability. The MB Mini which is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features a lock-back 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 as well as (a cozy lie-flat baby bed) and it can also be converted into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheeler is a fantastic option for those who need mobility and lightness. This kind of buggy is easy to maneuver and can easily get over bumps and high kerbs.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you plan to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it handled off-road walking and rough terrain," noting that "it handled grass and cobbles bumpy surfaces, dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're considering purchasing a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate infants, make sure the fabric sling seat 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 offers a cosy sleeper that's designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which expands with your child as they grow from day dot with the use of a fabric sling to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies meet the same standards and stability tests as their 4-wheel models! For even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. This means you can be fit while pushing your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have developed lightweight buggies and strollers that are easy to fold. This is particularly the case for buggies that have 3 wheels. The buggy folds into half easily with a simple one-handed operation. This makes it easier to put it in a compact car boot or in a cupboard at home. A majority of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a handy carry bag to make it easier to carry your pushchair on the move.
A 3-wheel buggy's superior maneuverability is an additional benefit. This is due to their superior engineering geometry, geometry and weight distribution. They usually have large wheels in both the front and back of the buggy, which are particularly important when tackling bumpy or rough roads or pavements. 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 terrains.
This is the case with the brand-new 3-wheel buggy named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks fantastic and is from the same company that is famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot and is suitable up to age 3 years old. The air-filled tyres of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't need pumping. Kath is an MFM reviewer, was amazed by its ability to navigate rough terrain. Pushchairs And Prams UK said it "navigates easily over grass, cobbles, and bumpy surfaces effortlessly."
This stylish buggy also offers a quick and compact fold using just one hand along with a range of great storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with an assortment of LED Visibility Lights that are easy to operate, rechargeable, and will greatly enhance your visibility when you're out.
Easy to store
The 3-wheel buggy is one of the smallest and most portable styles of pram which allows you to maneuver it on uneven terrain. As a result, they're generally a better option for off-road excursions than 4-wheel buggies and can be a great option for those who want to go out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheel buggy can be very quick to turn around thanks to its perfect geometry and engineering delivering superb agility and superior manoeuvrability. They are also easy to push and are suitable for people of all sizes. They can even be controlled with one hand, as the majority of them have an upper swivel that can be turned on a dime.
A world first, built upon the OG of inline(tm) technology; sport verso(tm) offers an innovative modularity that is future-proofs your budget, giving you one buggy starting at day dot, which can then be modified to accommodate 2 or more as your family expands and all within the footprint of a single buggy. It comes with an auto-lying flat bed, a wide seat with padding, and a 5-point harness. It also has the ability to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. It also comes with a large shopping bag and an open front zip pocket and two rear mesh pockets.
Easy to transport
In comparison to 4-wheelers, 3 wheel buggies are usually more light and easy to maneuver and handle. The weight of the buggy is evenly spread over all four wheels so it is not a heavy burden to push. This makes them perfect for those who prefer an easy and light transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventure and has released a new 3-wheeled buggy designed for those who enjoy spending time outdoors. The Upp XL is available in grey and black, and has outstanding off-road performance thanks to its big front wheel, suspension and quick one-hand fold.
