How To Tell If You're At The Right Level For 3 Wheel Buggy
Why Choose a 3 Wheel Buggy?
3-wheelers are renowned for their toughness and durability. The MB Mini which is now owned by Phil & Teds, for example, features an swivel lock or full-swivel front wheel that is able to lift curbs and boasts a super quick one-hand fold. Suitable from birth with the carrycot and (a comfortable lie-flat baby bed), it also converts into an active double buggy.
Easy to manoeuvre
If you select a 3 wheeled buggy, you're choosing agility and lightness in handling. This type of pushchair has a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the back, so they're really easy to turn on sixpence, and they can get over bumps or high kerbs effortlessly.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres as well as a sturdy suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath was "really amazed by how well it performed on off-road walks and difficult terrain," noting that "it handled grass and cobbles, bumpy surfaces, and dirt tracks very well."

To give you even more stability, they have a 16" rear wheel with lockable front swivel, which is perfect for running. You can stay fit while pushing your kids.
Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have developed lightweight buggies and strollers that are easy to fold. This is particularly the case for buggies that have 3 wheels. The buggy can fold in half with ease using a simple one-handed mechanism. This makes it easier to keep it in a small car boot or in a cupboard at home. Many of these lightweight buggy and stroller models come with an elegant carry bag that makes it even easier to carry the stroller when you're out and about.
A 3-wheel buggy's superior maneuverability is a further advantage. This is due to their superb geometry, engineering and weight distribution. The buggy often has large wheels both in the front and back, which is important for rough or bumpy pavements or roads. Additionally the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies can swivel, which further helps to give you great agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy over difficult surfaces.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm), a travel system that looks stunning and is from a company better known for their car seats (Maxi Cosi).

MFM reviewer Kath was awed by its ability to handle rough terrain, saying that "it navigates well over cobbles, grass and bumpy pavements with ease, and is a pleasure to jog on The lockable swivel front wheel provides the best stability."
