Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for being durable and hardwearing. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features a lock-back or full swivel front wheel that can easily open curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth thanks to the carrycot as well as (a cosy lie flat baby bed), it also converts into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you select a 3 wheel buggy, you're aiming for agility and lightness in handling. This model of pushchair comes with a single wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, so they're extremely easy to turn with a sixpence, and can navigate over bumps or high kerbs effortlessly.
Find a buggy that has pneumatic tyres and a good suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain" adding "it was able to handle grass, cobbles, bumpy pavements, and dirt tracks really well, and it was a great way to navigate between kerbs."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate the newborn, ensure that the sling seat made of fabric is facing the parent, or you could consider a modular that can convert into a carrycot or an infant car seat, like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which features a cozy sleeper that's certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which expands with your child as they grow from day dot by converting an sling seat made of fabric to a modular seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same safety standards and stability tests as their four-wheel models! To further increase stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel with a lockable swivel front that's perfect for jogging. You can keep fit while pushing your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have developed lightweight buggies and strollers that are very easy to fold. This is especially the case for buggies that have 3 wheels. The buggy can be folded into half easily by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it much easier to put it in a compact car boot or a cabinet at home. A lot of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a handy carry bag that makes it easier to transport your stroller on the go.
The superior maneuverability of a 3-wheel buggy is another big advantage. This is thanks to their excellent design, engineering, and weight distribution. The buggies typically have large wheels both in the front and back, which is important for bumpy or rough surfaces or roads. The wheels of most 3 wheel buggies can be swiveled, which gives you greater agility and allows you to better manage and steer the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy, called Sport(tm), which is a fabulous-looking travel system from a company normally better known 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 so don't need pumping. Kath, a MFM reviewer, was impressed 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 features a one-handed and compact fold, as well as excellent storage options (including a spacious basket and a convenient toddler ride on board). It also comes with a set of LED visibility Lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and will greatly enhance your visibility when you're out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you easily maneuver it on uneven terrain. This is why they're often a better choice for off-road excursions than 4-wheel buggies and can be great for those who want to go out and explore the urban or countryside.

Easy to transport
