Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for being durable and hardwearing. The MB Mini is now owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or full swivel wheel to easily pop-up curbs, and features a simple one-hand folding. It is suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot + (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed) and can also be converted to an active double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
If you opt for a three wheel buggy you're opting for flexibility and lightness of handling. This type of pushchair has one wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, which makes them really easy to turn on a sixpence, and can navigate over bumps or high kerbs easily.
If you're planning to take your buggy off-road, it's important to find one that has a great suspension and pneumatic tyres, so be sure to look for these features. MFM reviewer Kath was "really impressed by the way it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," adding that "it was able to handle cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, as well as dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're looking to purchase a 3-wheeled buggy for your baby, make sure that the sling's fabric is in the direction of the parent. You could also consider an adjustable model that can be used as a carrycot, infant car seat, or a comfortable, flat bed such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus, (which provides a cozy, lay-flat bed certified for sleep at night) or Sport Verso (which grows with your child's development, from day dot to a modular seat with a seat made of fabric). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! For even more stability, they offer a 16" rear wheel with lockable front swivel, which is perfect for jogging. You can keep fit while running with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have created lightweight buggies and strollers that are easy to fold. This is especially applicable to buggies with three wheels. The buggy can be folded in half with ease by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it easier to store it in a small car boot or a cabinet at home. A majority of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag to make it easier to carry your pushchair on the move.
Another big advantage of 3-wheel buggys is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is due to their superior engineering, geometry and weight distribution. They usually have large wheels in both the back and the front of the buggy, which is especially important when dealing with rough or bumpy roads or pavements. The wheels of most 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which provides more agility and makes it easier to control and steer the buggy over difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks stunning and comes from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot, and up to age 3. This all-terrain pushchair is equipped with impressive tyres that are air filled and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was awed by its ability to handle rough terrain, saying that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and is enjoyable to run with - the lockable swivel front wheel gives you excellent stability."
This stylish stroller also comes with the ability to fold compactly and quickly with just one hand, along with a range of great storage options (including an ample basket and a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with a set of LED Visibility Lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and will significantly improve your visibility while you're out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy is one of the smallest and most portable styles of pram, allowing you to easily manoeuvre it on uneven ground. They're generally a better option for off-road excursions than buggies with four wheels. They are ideal for those who love to explore the countryside or urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is extremely mobile and maneuverable. Its perfect geometry and engineering allows for quick turns. They are also easy to push and are suitable for people of all sizes. They can even be controlled with one hand, as most of them have an upper swivel that turns on a dime.
A first of its kind built on the OG of inline(tm) technology; sport verso(tm) offers an innovative modularity that will protect your wallet, offering you one buggy starting at day dot that can be adapted to take 2 or more once your family expands, all within the footprint of a single buggy. It comes with an auto-lying flat bed, a spacious seat unit that has padding, and a 5-point harness. It also has the ability to attach a carrycot or car seat. In addition, it comes with a lot of storage space including a large shopping basket, front zip pocket and two mesh pockets on the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies with 4-wheelers is often simpler and lighter. This is due to the fact that the weight of a buggy is evenly distributed across all four wheels, meaning it's not nearly as an issue to push around. They are the perfect choice for those who need an easy-to-transport and lightweight buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventures and has introduced a new 3 wheeled buggy for those who enjoy being outdoors. The Upp XL comes in black or grey, and comes with a suspension system and oversized front wheel that offer excellent off-road performance.
The Upp XL comes with a fabric sling designed to be a parent-facing. This allows you to bond with your newborn. It also comes with a cozy carrycot that is approved for sleep at night and a comfortable, breathable mattress.
It's safe from birth and, just like all Mountain Buggy buggies, it has the same rigorous global stability tests as 4-wheeled strollers. And, of course it's gorgeous to look at with its black frame in pewter and jacquard black fabric.
The phil&teds sport is a clever 3-wheeler that protects your finances in the future by starting out as a fantastic buggy, and then adapting to the fact that it can take 2 (or even more!) As your family expands, you can use the same footprint as an individual buggy. With a smart fabric sling seat that fits perfectly inside the frame and is just the right height for perfect weight distribution, it's easy to maneuver and easy to kerb pop.
