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 instance, has a lock-back or full swivel front wheel to easily lift curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot + (a cosy lie-flat baby bed) and can be converted into an active double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
A 3 wheel buggy is an excellent choice for those who want mobility and lightness. This kind of buggy is easy to maneuver and can easily get over bumps and high kerbs.
Choose a buggy equipped with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you plan to take it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain" noting that "it was able to handle grass, cobbles bumpy pavements, dirt tracks very well, and was great for navigating through kerbs."
If you're considering purchasing a 3-wheel buggy for a newborn, make sure the sling seat made of fabric is parent-facing, or consider modulars that convert into a carrycot or infant car seat, such as Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which offers a cosy sleeper that's certified for overnight sleeping) or sport verso (which expands with your child from day to dot with a fabric sling seat to modular seats). All their 3 wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as models with four wheels, too! For even more stability, they've got a 16" rear wheel with lockable swivel front that's perfect for running. You can stay active while pushing your kids.
Folding is easy
Many buggy manufacturers have developed lightweight walkers and buggies that fold easily. This is especially true of three wheel buggies. The buggy can fold in half with ease by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it much easier to keep it in a small car boot or in a cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models also have a smart carry bag that makes it even easier to carry the stroller when you're on the move.
The greater maneuverability of a 3-wheeled buggy is another big advantage. This is due to their excellent engineering, geometry and weight distribution. The buggy often has large wheels both in the front and back, which is essential for bumpy or rough surfaces or roads. The wheels of a majority of 3 wheel buggies are turned 360 degrees, which allows for more agility and makes it easier to manage and steer the buggy over difficult surfaces.
This is the case with the new 3-wheel buggy, called Sport(tm), which is an impressive-looking travel device from a company typically renowned for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). It is suitable from birth thanks to its carrycot and is suitable up to age 3. This all-terrain pushchair has impressive tyres that are air filled and therefore don't require pumping. Kath was an MFM reviewer, was amazed by its ability to navigate rough terrain. She noted that it "navigates smoothly over grass and cobbles, and bumpy surfaces effortlessly."
This stylish buggy offers the ability to fold compactly and quickly with one hand, along with a range of great storage options (including an ample basket and a toddler ride-on board). It even comes with a game changing set of LED visibility lights that are easy to use, rechargeable and really improve your visibility when you're out and out and about.
Easy to store
The 3 wheel buggy is among the most portable and compact styles of pram that allows you to maneuver it on uneven terrain. They are a great option for those who like exploring the countryside and urban landscapes.
A 3-wheel buggy can be very quick to turn thanks to its the perfect geometry and engineering, delivering superb agility and superior manoeuvrability.

Sport verso(tm), a world-first model, is based on the OG inline(tm). It is a modular system that helps protect your pocketbook. You can start with a single stroller and then increase it to two or more as your family grows. It features an auto-lounge flat bed, a spacious padded seat unit and improved 5-point harness. It can also attach an infant car seat or carrycot. It also comes with a large shopping bag, a front zip pocket, and two rear mesh pockets.
Easy to transport
Comparatively to 4-wheelers wheel buggies are often much lighter and easier to maneuver and handle. The weight of the buggy is evenly distributed over the four wheels, ensuring that it's not a heavy burden to push. They are perfect for those looking for an easy-to-transport and lightweight buggy.
The renown pioneers of all-terrain adventure, Mountain Buggy, have released a new 3-wheel buggy that is ideal for those who want to spend time in the outdoors. The Upp XL comes in black or grey and features an suspension system and a large front wheel, which provides an outstanding off-road experience.

The phil&teds sports is a clever 3-wheeler that will protect your pocket in the future by beginning as a fantastic buggy, and then adapting to the fact that it can take 2 (or even more!) As your family grows, you can still make use of the same footprint as one buggy. With a smart fabric sling seat that tucks perfectly inside the frame and sits at just the right height for optimal weight distribution, it's easy to maneuver and a breeze to make kerb pop.
