How To Tell If You're Ready For 3 Wheel Buggy

Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?

3-wheelers are renowned for being durable and hardwearing. The MB Mini now owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or a full swivel wheel to easily pop-up curbs, and features a simple one-hand folding. It is suitable from birth, and comes with a carrycot and (a cosy lie-flat baby bed), and it can also be converted to an active double buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A 3 wheel buggy is a great choice for those who want mobility and lightness. This kind of buggy is easy to maneuver and will easily navigate over bumps and kerbs.

If you're looking to drive your buggy off-road, it's important to find one with a high-quality suspension and pneumatic tyres, so look for these features. MFM reviewer Kath was "really impressed by the way it adapted to off-road walking and difficult terrain" noting that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks extremely well."

If you're considering purchasing a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate a newborn, make sure the sling seat fabric is parent-facing, or consider 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 approved for sleeping at night) or sport verso (which grows with your child from day to dot by converting an sling seat made of fabric to a modular seats). All their 3 wheel buggies are tested for stability and standards as 4-wheel models, too! They have 16" rear tire that has a lockable swivel wheel that is perfect for jogging. So you can get fit while pushing your kids.

Easy to fold

Many buggy brands have come up with lightweight buggies and strollers that fold easily. This is particularly true for three wheel buggies. The buggy folds in half with ease with a simple one-handed operation. This makes it easy to store it in a small car boot or a cabinet at home. A lot of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag to make it easier to carry your pushchair around.

Another major benefit of 3-wheel buggys is their superior maneuverability when navigating rough terrain. This is due to their superior engineering, geometry and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels both in the front and back, which is crucial for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. The wheels of a majority of 3 wheel buggies can be turned 360 degrees, which allows for more maneuverability and allows you to easily control and steer the buggy on difficult surfaces.

This is the case with the new 3-wheel buggy, called Sport(tm), which is an amazing-looking travel system from a company that is more well-known for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot and is suitable up to age 3 years old. The tyres that are filled with air of this stroller for all terrains are impressive and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was really impressed with its ability to conquer rough terrain, stating that "it can navigate well over cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements effortlessly and is a joy to jog with The lockable swivel front wheel provides the best stability."

Additionally, this sleek buggy offers a one-handed quick and compact fold, as well as fantastic storage options (including a spacious basket and a comfortable toddler ride on board). It also comes with a set of LED visibility Lights that are simple to operate, rechargeable, and will greatly improve your visibility while you're out.

Easy to store

The  3 wheel buggy   allows you to easily maneuver it over uneven terrain. This is why they're generally a better option for off-road trips than 4-wheel buggies and are ideal for those who like to get out and explore the urban or countryside.

A 3-wheel buggy is extremely mobile and agile. Its perfect design and geometry allows for quick turns. In terms of kerb pop, they're also very simple to push and are able to be used by all sizes of people. They can be even steered with one hand, as most of them have a front swivel wheel that can be turned at a whim.

Sport verso(tm), a world-first, is built on the OG inline(tm). It provides a modular design that safeguards your wallet. It is possible to start with just one buggy, but then expand to two or more as your family grows. It offers an auto lie flat bed, a spacious padded seat unit and improved 5-point harness. It can also be connected to the car seat or carrycot. As a bonus, it comes with a lot of storage space. It includes a large shopping basket along with a front zip pocket and 2 rear mesh pockets.

Easy to transport

In comparison 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 heavy burden to push. This makes them ideal for people who want a light and easy to transport buggy.
