Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for being tough and durable. The MB Mini now owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback wheel or a full swivel to pop-up curbs easily and comes with a one-hand folding. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies), and it can be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you select a 3 wheel buggy you're opting for agility and lightness in handling. This type of pushchair is simple to maneuver and can easily navigate over bumps and kerbs.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you intend to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and rough terrain," adding that "it handled cobbles and grass bumpy surfaces, dirt tracks extremely well."
If you're thinking of buying a 3-wheel buggy for infants, make sure the sling seat fabric is parent-facing, or consider an adjustable model that can be converted into a carrycot, or infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a cosy, lie flat bed approved for sleeping at night) or sport verso (which expands with your child from day to dot using a fabric sling seat to modular seat). All their 3 wheel buggies have the same stability tests and standards as models with four wheels, too! To give you even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with a lockable front swivel, which is perfect for jogging. You can keep fit while running with your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have developed lightweight buggies and strollers that fold easily. This is especially true of three wheel buggies. They usually have an easy one-handed folding mechanism which allows you to easily fold the buggy in half, making it much easier to put it in the car's small storage space or even a cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight strollers and stroller models also have a clever carry bag that makes it even easier to carry the stroller when you're on the go.
Another big advantage of 3-wheel buggys is their ability to maneuver better on rough terrain. This is due to their superior engineering geometry, geometry and weight distribution. The buggies usually have large wheels both in the front and back, which is important for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. Furthermore the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are swivel, which further helps to increase your agility and make it extremely easy to steer and control the buggy over tricky surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy, called Sport(tm) Sport(tm), which is an impressive-looking travel device from a company more well-known for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). It's suitable for babies with its carrycot and is suitable up to age 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair is equipped with impressive tyres that have air in them and don't require pumping. MFM reviewer Kath was extremely impressed by its ability to handle rough terrain, stating that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and is enjoyable to run with - the lockable swivel front wheel provides excellent stability."
What's more, this stylish buggy comes with a single-handed and compact fold as well as amazing storage options (including an ample basket and a handy toddler ride-on-board). It even comes with a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are easy to use, rechargeable, and will improve your visibility when you're out and about.
Easy to store

A 3-wheel buggy is extremely quick to turn around thanks to its perfect geometry and engineering delivering incredible agility and superior maneuverability. In terms of the kerb's pop, they're extremely easy to push and can be utilized by all sizes of people. They can be even steered using just one hand, because the majority of them have an upper swivel that can be turned on a dime.

It comes with an auto-lying flat bed, a spacious seat with padding, and a 5-point harness. It can also attach car seats or a carrycot. As a bonus, it has some impressive storage space including a large shopping basket along with a front zip pocket and 2 rear mesh pockets.
Easy to transport
Comparatively to 4-wheelers wheel buggies are often more light and easy to handle and maneuver. This is because the weight of a 3 wheeler is evenly distributed over the four wheels, which means it's not as much as an issue to carry around. This makes them perfect for those who need a light and easy to transport buggy.
