Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini now is owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or full swivel wheel to pop-up curbs easily and comes with a one-hand folding. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cozy lie-flat baby bed) and it can also be converted into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
When you choose a 3 wheeled buggy, you're choosing the utmost agility and ease of handling. This type of buggy is easy to maneuver and will easily overcome bumps and high kerbs.
If you're planning to drive your buggy off-road, it's important to find one that has a great suspension and pneumatic tyres so look out for these features. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed by how well it adapted to off-road walking and difficult terrain," noting that "it handled cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, dirt tracks very well."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy for infants, make sure the fabric sling seat 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 features a cozy and a lie flat bed that is designed for sleep at night) or sport verso (which grows with your child from day dot by converting a fabric sling seat to modular seats). The 3 wheel buggies from Mountain Buggy are tested for stability and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! For even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel that has a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. This means you can be fit while pushing the children.
Folding is easy
Many buggy brands have created lightweight strollers and buggies that are easy to fold. This is particularly true for 3 wheel buggies. They usually come with a simple one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to easily fold the buggy in half, making it easier to put it in your small car boot or cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight stroller and buggy models come with a handy carry bag to make it easier to take your stroller on the go.
Another benefit of 3-wheel buggys is their ability to maneuver better on rough terrain. This is due to their excellent engineering design, geometry, and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels both in the front and back, which is important for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. Furthermore, the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies are pivoting, which helps to increase your agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks fantastic and comes from the same company that is famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children as young as 3 years old. The air-filled tyres of this stroller for all terrains are impressive and don't need 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 in the front wheel provides excellent stability."
This stylish buggy also offers an easy and compact fold with just one hand, as well as some great storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a changing set of LED lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and really enhance your visibility when out and out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy is one of the most portable and compact styles of pram, allowing you to easily manoeuvre it on uneven ground. This is why they're typically a better option for off-road walks than buggies with four wheels. They are ideal for those who like to explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheel buggy is very quick to turn around thanks to its the perfect geometry and engineering, delivering amazing agility and superior manoeuvrability. They are also easy to push, and can be used for people of all sizes. They can be even steered with one hand, as the majority of them have an upper swivel that can be turned on a dime.
Sport verso(tm) which is a world-first, is built on the OG inline(tm). It is a modular system that helps protect your pocketbook. It is possible to start with just one buggy, but then expand to two or more as your family grows. It comes with an auto lie flat bed, a wide padded seat unit and improved 5-point harness. It can also be attached to a carrycot or car seat. As a bonus, it has some impressive storage space, including a huge shopping basket with a front zip pocket as well as two mesh pockets on the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies to 4-wheelers is often simpler and lighter. This is due to the fact that the weight of a buggy is evenly distributed over all four wheels, so it's not as heavy an issue to push around. They are perfect for those who need a lightweight and easy-to-transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventure and has launched a brand new three-wheeled buggy for those who enjoy being outdoors. The Upp XL is available in grey and black, and has excellent off-road performance due to its oversized front wheel, suspension, and quick one-hand fold.
