3 Wheel Buggy Tips From The Best In The Business
Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers have a reputation for being durable and tough. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, comes with an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel that can easily lift curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies) and can also be converted to an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you opt for a three wheel buggy you're opting for flexibility and lightness of handling. This style of pushchair has a single wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, which makes them extremely easy to turn with sixpence, and they can get over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you plan to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really amazed by how well it adapted to off-road walking and challenging terrain" adding "it handled grass, cobbles bumpy pavements and dirt tracks very well, and it was a breeze to navigate through kerbs."
If you're considering buying a 3-wheel buggy for a newborn, make sure the fabric sling seat is facing the parent, or you could consider modulars that convert into a carrycot or infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a cosy, lie flat bed certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which grows with your child from day to dot with a fabric sling seat to modular seats). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same safety standards and stability tests as their 4-wheel models! They have 16" rear tire that has an swivel wheel lockable that's ideal for jogging. You can stay active while running with your children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy manufacturers have created lightweight buggies and walkers that are easy to fold. This is especially applicable to buggies with three wheels. The buggy folds into half easily 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 that makes it easier to take your pushchair around.
Another major benefit of 3-wheel buggys is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is thanks to their excellent design, engineering, and weight distribution. The buggies typically have large wheels in both the front and back, which is crucial for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. Moreover the wheels on most 3 wheel buggies rotated, which can help to provide you with great agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy on difficult terrains.
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 manufacturer that is more well-known for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot and is suitable up to age 3 years old. The air-filled tyres of this stroller for all terrains are impressive and don't need pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was extremely impressed by its ability to tackle rough terrain, saying that "it navigates well over cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements effortlessly and is enjoyable to run with - the lockable swivel front wheel provides great stability."
This stylish buggy offers an easy and compact fold with one hand, along with a range of great storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with an assortment of LED Visibility Lights that are simple to operate, rechargeable, and will greatly increase your visibility while out.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy allows you to easily maneuver it on uneven terrain. This is why they're often a better choice for off-road trips than 4-wheel buggies and can be great for those who want to go out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheel buggy is very quick to turn with a perfect geometry and engineering that provides incredible agility and superior maneuverability. They are also simple to push, and can be used for people of all sizes. Most of them can be operated by just one hand as they have an in-front wheel that can turn on a dime.
Sport verso(tm) which is a world-first model, is based on the OG inline(tm). It is a modular system that helps protect your wallet. You can start with a single stroller, but then expand to two or more as your family expands. It offers an auto lie flat bed, a large padded seat unit and improved 5-point harness. It can also be attached to the car seat or carrycot. It also 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 usually easier and lighter. This is due to the fact that the weight of a buggie is evenly distributed over all four wheels, meaning it's not nearly as an issue to move around. This makes them perfect for those who need a light and easy to transport buggy.
