Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are well-known for their strength and durability. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, comes with a lock-back or full swivel front wheel that is able to lift curbs and has a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot and (a cosy lie-flat baby bed) 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 in the back, so they're extremely easy to turn with sixpence, and they can navigate over bumps or high kerbs effortlessly.
If you're planning to take your buggy off the road it is essential to choose one that has a great suspension and pneumatic tyres, so look out for these features. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by how well it performed on off-road walks and challenging terrain" she added "it handled grass, cobbles bumpy pavements and dirt tracks very well, and it was a breeze to navigate up and down kerbs."
If you're thinking of buying a 3-wheel buggy for the newborn, ensure that the fabric sling seat is parent-facing, or consider a modular that can convert into a carrycot, or infant car seat, like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a cosy, lie flat bed certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which expands with your child from day dot with an sling seat made of fabric to a modular seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies have the same safety standards and stability tests as their four-wheel models! For even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with a lockable front swivel, which is perfect for running. You can keep fit while running with your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have come up with strollers and buggies that are lightweight and fold easily. This is especially true for buggies with 3 wheels. They typically have an easy one-handed folding mechanism which lets you fold the buggy in half, making it easier to squeeze it into your small car storage space or even a cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight strollers and stroller models also come with an elegant carry bag that makes it easy to transport the stroller when you're on the go.
Another benefit of 3-wheeled buggys is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is thanks to their superior geometry, engineering and weight distribution. three wheel pushchair have large wheels that are placed in the front and back of the buggy, which is particularly important when dealing with bumpy or rough roads or pavements. The wheels of the majority of 3 wheel buggies can be turned 360 degrees, which allows for more maneuverability and makes it easier to manage and steer the buggy on tricky surfaces.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy named Sport(tm), a travel system that is stunning and comes from a company more famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children up to 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that are air filled and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was extremely impressed by its ability to tackle rough terrain, stating that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily and is a joy to run with - the lockable swivel front wheel offers the best stability."
What's more, this stylish buggy features a one-handed and compact fold and some amazing storage options (including an ample basket and a convenient toddler ride-on-board). It even comes with a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are simple to use, rechargeable and can really improve your visibility when you're out and out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy lets you effortlessly maneuver it on rough terrain. This is why they're generally a better option for off-road excursions than buggies with four wheels and can be a great option for those who love to go out and explore the countryside or urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy is very quick to turn, with perfect geometry and engineering that provides incredible agility and superior maneuverability. In terms of kerb pop, they're also very easy to push and are able to be used by all sizes of people.

Easy to transport
Compared to 4-wheelers, 3 wheel buggies tend to be much lighter and easier to handle and maneuver. This is because the weight of a buggie is evenly distributed across all four wheels, so it's not nearly as an effort to push around.
