Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for being durable and hardwearing. The MB Mini is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel to easily lift curbs and boasts a super quick one-hand fold. Suitable from birth with the carrycot plus (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed) It also converts into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
When you choose a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for agility and lightness in handling. This type of pushchair has a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, making them very easy to turn on the sixpence and overcome bumps and high kerbs easily.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you intend to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," adding that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy to accommodate a newborn, make sure the fabric sling seat is parent-facing, or consider modulars that convert into a carrycot or infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which features a cozy sleeper that's designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which grows with your child from day dot using the use of a fabric sling to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies meet the same safety standards and stability tests as their 4-wheel models! To give you even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel that has a lockable front swivel that is ideal for running. You can stay fit while pushing your kids.
Folding is simple
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight walkers and buggies that fold easily. This is especially the case for buggies that have 3 wheels. The buggy folds in half with ease by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it easy to put it in a compact car boot or home cupboard. Many of these lightweight stroller and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag that makes it easier to take your stroller on the go.
A 3-wheel buggy's superior maneuverability is a further advantage. This is due to their superb geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggy often has large wheels both in the front and back, which is essential for bumpy or rough surfaces or roads. Moreover the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which can help to provide you with great agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy, called Sport(tm) Sport(tm), which is an amazing-looking travel system from a company normally better known for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). It's suitable from birth with its carrycot, and up to age 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that have air in them and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was really impressed with its ability to conquer rough terrain, saying that "it is able to navigate cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements easily and is enjoyable to jog with The lockable swivel front wheel provides excellent stability."
What's more, this stylish buggy comes with a single-handed and compact fold, as well as fantastic storage options (including an ample basket and a comfortable toddler ride-on-board). It even comes with a changing set of LED visibility lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and can really boost your visibility when you're out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you effortlessly maneuver it on rough terrain. They're often a better choice for off-road trips than buggies with four wheels. They are ideal for those who want to go out and explore the countryside or urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is very quick to turn thanks to its the perfect geometry and engineering, delivering incredible agility and superior maneuverability. In terms of kerb pop, they're also extremely easy to push and can be used by people of all sizes. Most of them can be controlled by one hand because they come with a front wheel that turns at a whim.
A first in the world built on 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 once your family grows and all within the footprint of a single buggy. It has an auto-lying flat bed, a wide seat unit with padded padding and a five-point harness. It can also be connected to an infant car seat or a carrycot. It also comes with a lot of storage space including a large shopping basket along with a front zip pocket and 2 rear mesh pockets.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3-wheel buggies to 4-wheelers is usually simpler and lighter. This is due to the fact that the weight of a 3 wheeler is evenly distributed across all four wheels, meaning it's not as much as a burden to move around. They are perfect for those looking for an affordable and light-weight buggy that is easy to transport.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventures and has released a new 3-wheeled buggy for those who enjoy being outdoors. The Upp XL is available in black and grey and offers outstanding off-road performance thanks to its big front wheel, suspension and a quick one-hand fold.
