Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers have a reputation for being durable and hardwearing. The MB Mini now is owned by Phil & Teds features a lockback wheel or a full swivel to pop-up curbs easily and boasts a quick one-hand folding. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), it also converts into an active double buggy.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A 3 wheel buggy is an excellent option for those looking for mobility and lightness. This style of pushchair has one wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, making them very easy to turn on sixpence, and they can navigate over bumps or high kerbs with ease.
Choose a buggy equipped with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you plan to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by the way it performed on off-road walks and challenging terrain" noting that "it did a great job handling cobbles, grass, bumpy pavements, and dirt tracks very well, and was a great way to navigate between kerbs."
If you're looking to buy a 3-wheeled buggy for your newborn, make sure that the sling's fabric is facing the parent. Or, consider a modular which can be converted into a carrycot, infant car seat or a cozy, lie-flat bed, such as Mountain Buggy’s carrycot plus, (which offers a comfortable lay-flat mattress that is suitable for overnight sleep) or Sport Verso (which expands with your child's development, from day dot to a modular seat with a fabric seat). All their 3 wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as their 4-wheel models, too! They have 16" rear tire with an swivel wheel lockable that's ideal for jogging. So you can get fit while pushing your children.
Folding is easy
Many buggy manufacturers have created lightweight buggies and walkers that are easy to fold. This is particularly true for three wheel buggies. They usually come with a simple one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it easier to put it in the car's small or cabinet at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also have a clever carry bag that makes it easy to transport the stroller when you're out and about.
Another major benefit of 3-wheeled buggys is their superior maneuverability on rough terrain. This is due to their excellent engineering design, geometry, 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. The wheels of a majority of 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which provides more agility and makes it easier to manage and steer the buggy over difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the brand new 3-wheeled buggy called 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 can be used up to the age of 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that have air in them and therefore don't require pumping. Kath was an MFM reviewer, was awed by its ability to handle rough terrain. She said that it "navigates well over grass and cobbles, and bumpy surfaces effortlessly."
This stylish buggy offers an easy and compact fold using just one hand along with a range of great storage options (including a large basket and a toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a changing set of LED Visibility lights that are simple to use, rechargeable, and will enhance your visibility when out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy is one of the smallest and most portable styles of pram that allows you to manoeuvre it on uneven ground. This is why they're typically a better option for off-road excursions than buggies with four wheels. They can be great for those who like to get out and explore the urban or countryside.
A 3-wheel buggy is very quick to turn, with perfect geometry and engineering that provides amazing agility and superior manoeuvrability. They are also easy to push, and can be used by people of all sizes. They can be even steered by one hand, since the majority of them have a front swivel wheel that spins at a whim.

Easy to transport
Compared to 4-wheelers, 3 wheel buggies are usually a lot lighter and easier to maneuver and handle. This is because the weight of a 3 wheeler is evenly distributed over all four wheels, so it's not nearly as an effort to carry around. They are ideal for those looking for a lightweight and easy-to-transport buggy.
