Why 3 Wheel Buggy Could Be Your Next Big Obsession
Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy? 3-wheelers are well-known for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini, now owned by Phil & Teds, for instance, has an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel that can easily open curbs, and comes with a quick one-hand fold. It is suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot + (a cozy lie-flat crib for babies) and can also be converted into an active double buggy. Easy to maneuver If you select a 3 wheeled buggy, you're choosing the utmost agility and ease of handling. This type of pushchair is simple to maneuver and is able to overcome bumps and high kerbs. If you're planning to take your buggy off the road, it's important to find one with a good suspension and pneumatic tyres so look out for these features. MFM reviewer Kath said she was “really impressed by the way it coped with off-road walking and difficult terrain” she added “it handled grass, cobbles, bumpy pavements, and dirt tracks very well, and was a breeze to navigate up and down kerbs.” If you're planning to purchase a buggy with three wheels for a newborn, ensure that the sling fabric is positioned in the direction of the parent. You could also consider a modular that can be transformed into a carrycot, infant car seat or a comfortable, flat bed like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus, (which provides a cosy lay-flat mattress that is suitable to sleep overnight) or Sport Verso (which grows with your child, starting from day dot to modular seat with a fabric seat). The 3 wheel buggies from Mountain Buggy pass the same stability tests and standards as models with four wheels, too! They have 16” rear tire with a lockable swivel that's ideal for jogging. You can stay fit while pushing the kids. Folding is easy Many buggy brands have come up with lightweight buggies and strollers that fold easily. This is particularly applicable to buggies with three wheels. They usually come with a simple, one-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the buggy in half, making it much easier to squeeze it into the car's small storage space or even a cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models come with an elegant carry bag that makes it easier to carry the stroller when you're out and about. The greater maneuverability of a 3-wheeled buggy is a further advantage. This is due to their excellent geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggy often has large wheels in both the front and back, which is essential for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. The wheels of a majority of 3 wheel buggies can be rotated, which provides more maneuverability and makes it easier to control and steer the buggy on tricky surfaces. This is the case with the brand new 3-wheel buggy called Sport™ It's a fabulous-looking travel system from a manufacturer that is typically renowned for its car seats (Maxi-Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children as young as 3 years old. This all-terrain pushchair is equipped with impressive tires that are air-filled and don't require pumping.
