It is suitable for babies from birth, with the carrycot plus (a cozy lie-flat baby bed) and it can also be converted into an active inline double buggy.
Easy to maneuver
If 3 wheeled pushchair opt for a three wheeled buggy, you're choosing flexibility and lightness of handling. This model of pushchair comes with one wheel at the front and two wheels at the back, so they're very easy to turn on the sixpence and get over bumps or high kerbs easily.
Look for a buggy with pneumatic tyres and an excellent suspension if you intend to use it off-road. MFM reviewer Kath said she was "really impressed by how well it performed on off-road walks and tricky terrain," noting that "it handled grass, cobbles bumpy pavements and dirt tracks very well, and it was a great way to navigate through kerbs."
If you're looking to buy a 3-wheeled buggy for a newborn, ensure that the fabric sling is in the direction of the parent. You could also consider a modular that can be used as a carrycot, infant car seat, or a comfy, flat bed like Mountain Buggy's carrycot plus (which provides a cozy lay-flat bed that is certified for overnight sleep) or Sport Verso (which grows with your child's development, from day dot to a modular seat with a seat made of fabric). All their 3 wheel buggies pass the same stability tests and standards as 4-wheel models, too! They have 16" rear tire with a lockable swivel which is ideal for running.

Easy to fold
Many buggy brands have developed lightweight buggies and strollers that are easy to fold. This is especially true of three wheel buggies. The buggy can fold in half by using a simple, one-hand mechanism. This makes it easier to store it in a small car boot or in a cupboard at home. A majority of these lightweight strollers and buggy models come with a convenient carry bag to make it easier to carry your pushchair on the move.
The superior maneuverability of a 3-wheel buggy is an additional benefit. This is thanks to their superior design, engineering and weight distribution. They usually have large wheels both in the rear and front of the buggy, which is especially important when dealing with bumpy or rough roads or pavements. Additionally the wheels on the majority of 3 wheel buggies are rotated, which can help to give you great agility and makes it easy to steer and control the buggy over tricky surfaces.
This is the case for the brand-new 3-wheel buggy, named Sport(tm), a travel system that is stunning and comes from a company better known for their car seats (Maxi Cosi). The carrycot is suitable for babies and children as young as 3 years old. The air-filled tyres of this all-terrain stroller are impressive and don't need pumping. Kath is an MFM reviewer, was awed by its capability to deal with rough terrain. 3 wheeler pushchairs noted that it "navigates easily over grass, cobbles, as well as bumpy surfaces effortlessly."
