An Guide To 3 Wheel Buggy In 2023
Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features the option of locking back or a full swivel front wheel that can easily open curbs and boasts a super quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed) and it can also be converted into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
If you select a 3 wheeled buggy, you're choosing flexibility and lightness of handling. This type of pushchair has one wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, which makes them very easy to turn on the sixpence and get over bumps or high kerbs easily.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed at how well it performed on off-road walks and rough terrain," saying that "it handled cobbles and grass, bumpy surfaces, and dirt tracks very well."
If you're planning to buy a 3-wheeled buggy for your newborn, make sure that the fabric sling is positioned in the direction of the parent. You could also consider a modular which can be transformed into an car seat for infants, or a comfy, flat bed like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus, (which provides a cosy lay-flat mattress that is suitable for sleep at night) or Sport Verso (which expands with your child, from day dot to modular seat with a fabric seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! To further increase stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel with lockable front swivel, which is perfect for running. You can stay active while running with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have come up with lightweight strollers and buggies that fold easily. This is particularly true for three wheel buggies. They usually come with a simple one-handed folding mechanism which allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it easier to put it in the car's small or cabinet at home. A lot of these lightweight buggy and stroller models come with a clever carry bag that makes it even easier to transport the pushchair when you're on the move.
A 3-wheel buggy's superior maneuverability is a further advantage. This is due to their excellent engineering, geometry and weight distribution. They often have large wheels in both the front and back of the buggy, which is especially important when dealing with rough or bumpy roads or pavements. The wheels of a majority of 3 wheel buggies can be rotated, which provides greater agility and allows you to better manage and steer the buggy on difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), a travel system that looks stunning and is from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children who are 3 years old. The tyres with air-filled rims of this stroller for all terrains are impressive and don't need pumping. Kath, a MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to handle rough terrain. She noted that it "navigates well over grass and cobbles, and bumpy surfaces with ease."
This stylish buggy offers the ability to fold compactly and quickly with just one hand, as well as some great storage options (including an ample basket and a toddler ride-on board). It even has a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and really improve your visibility when you're out and about.
Easy to store
The 3-wheel buggy is one of the most compact and portable types of prams which allows you to maneuver it on uneven terrain. They are a great option for those who enjoy exploring the countryside and urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is very mobile and agile. Its perfect geometry and engineering allows for quick turns. In terms of the kerb pop, they're extremely easy to push and can be utilized by all sizes of people. Most of them can be steered by one hand as they have an in-front wheel that turns on a dime.
Sport verso(tm) is a first in the world model, is based on the OG inline(tm). It provides a modular design that safeguards your wallet. You can start with just one buggy, but then expand to two or more as your family expands. It features an auto-lounge flat bed, a wide cushioned seat and a new 5-point harness. It can also attach an infant car seat or carrycot. It also has a large shopping bag with an open front zip pocket and two mesh pockets at the rear.
Easy to transport
Comparing 3 wheel buggies to 4-wheelers is often easier and lighter. This is due to the fact that the weight of a buggy is evenly distributed across all four wheels, so it's not as much as a burden to carry around. This makes them ideal for those who prefer a light and easy to transport buggy.
Mountain Buggy is a pioneer of all-terrain adventures and has introduced a new 3 wheeled buggy designed for those who enjoy being outdoors. The Upp XL is available in black and grey and offers superb off road performance thanks to its big front wheel, suspension and quick one-hand fold.
The Upp XL comes with a fabric sling that is designed to be child-facing. This lets you connect with your baby. It also includes a cosy carrycot, which is approved for sleep at night and a comfortable, breathable mattress.
It's suitable for babies and, like all Mountain Buggy buggies, it is able to pass the same rigorous stability tests as 4-wheeled strollers. It's also a beautiful buggie to look at, with its black frame and jacquard material.
Phil&teds's sport is a clever little 3-wheeler that is able to future-proof your budget by serving as a fantastic single-buggy starting from the start and changing to take two (or more!) as your family grows, all in the same compact footprint as one buggy! With a clever fabric sling seat, which fits perfectly into the frame and sits at just the right height to ensure perfect weight distribution, it's simple to manoeuvre and super-easy to kerb pop.
