Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini now owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback or full swivel wheel to easily pop-up curbs, and boasts a quick one-hand folding. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), and it can also be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
When you choose a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for the utmost agility and ease of handling. This model of pushchair comes with a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, so they're very easy to turn on a sixpence, and can get over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you intend to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by how well it coped with off-road walking and difficult terrain" noting that "it was able to handle grass, cobbles bumpy pavements, dirt tracks really well, and was great for navigating up and down kerbs."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy for infants, make sure the sling seat made of fabric is parent-facing, or consider modulars that convert into a carrycot, or infant car seat, like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a comfortable, lie flat bed approved for sleeping at night) or sport verso (which expands with your child from day dot with a fabric sling seat to modular seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies are tested for stability and standards as models with four wheels, too! They have a 16" rear tire with an swivel wheel lockable that's ideal for jogging. You can keep fit while pushing your kids.
Folding is simple
Many buggy brands have created strollers and buggies that are lightweight and fold easily. This is especially true of three wheel buggies. The buggy can fold in half using a simple one-handed mechanism. This makes it much easier 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 transport your pushchair around.
Another major benefit of 3-wheel buggy is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is thanks to their superb geometry, engineering and weight distribution. They typically have big wheels both in the rear and front of the buggy, which is especially important when dealing with rough or bumpy roads or pavements. Furthermore the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies rotated, which can help to increase your agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy over difficult surfaces.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks stunning and is from a company better known for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for infants and children up to 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair is equipped with impressive tires that are air-filled and so don't need pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was extremely impressed by its ability to tackle rough terrain, stating that "it is able to navigate cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements effortlessly and is a joy to run with The lockable swivel in the front wheel offers excellent stability."
What's more, this stylish buggy comes with a single-handed and compact fold and some amazing storage options (including an ample basket and a handy toddler ride-on board). It also comes with an assortment of LED Visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and will really increase your visibility while out.

They are perfect for those who want an affordable and light-weight buggy that is easy to transport.
