10 3 Wheel Buggy Tips All Experts Recommend
Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers have a reputation for being tough and durable. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, comes with an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel to easily pop up curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable from birth thanks to the carrycot and (a cozy lie-flat baby bed), it also converts into a fully-loaded double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
A 3-wheel buggy is a great option for those looking for agility and lightness. This type of pushchair has one wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, so they're really easy to turn on a sixpence, and can get over bumps or high kerbs easily.
Choose a buggy equipped with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you intend to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by the way it adapted to off-road walking and challenging terrain" adding "it handled grass, cobbles, bumpy pavements, and dirt tracks really well, and was a breeze to navigate up and down kerbs."
If you are looking to purchase a 3-wheeled buggy for your baby, make sure that the sling's fabric is in the direction of the parent. Or, consider a modular that can be transformed into an infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus (which offers a comfortable, lay-flat bed certified to sleep overnight) or Sport Verso (which grows with your child, from day dot to modular seat with a fabric seat). All of their 3-wheel buggies meet the same standards and stability tests as their 4-wheel models! To give you even more stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel that has a lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. So you can get fit while pushing the children.
Easy to fold
Many buggy makers have designed lightweight buggies and walkers that fold easily. This is especially true for buggies with 3 wheels. The buggy can be folded in half with ease by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it easier to put it in a compact car boot or in a cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also come with an elegant carry bag that makes it easier to transport the pushchair when you're on the move.
The superior maneuverability of a 3-wheel buggy is a further advantage. This is due to their superior engineering design, geometry, and weight distribution. They often have large wheels that are placed in the rear and front of the buggy, which are particularly important when tackling rough or bumpy roads or pavements. Additionally the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are swivel, which further helps to increase your agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy over tricky surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport(tm), a travel system that looks stunning and is from the same company that is famous for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children as young as 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tires that are air-filled and don't require pumping. Kath, a MFM reviewer, was impressed by its ability to handle rough terrain. She said that it "navigates smoothly over grass and cobbles and bumpy surfaces with ease."
This stylish stroller also comes with a quick and compact fold with just one hand, as well as some great storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It also comes with a set of LED Visibility Lights that are simple to use, rechargeable, and will significantly improve your visibility while you're out.
Easy to store

A 3-wheel buggy is extremely agile and manoeuvrable. Its perfect engineering and geometry allow for quick turns.

Easy to transport
Comparing 3-wheel buggies to four wheelers is typically simpler and lighter. The weight of the buggy is evenly distributed across the four wheels, ensuring that it's not a huge burden to push. They are perfect for those looking for an easy-to-transport and lightweight buggy.
