Any 3 wheelers that I can use with maxi-cosi car seat or a carrycot (but not Quinny Buzz)

[haribofan]

I'm expecting DC3 and I need a 3 wheeler due to the terrain where we live. I currently have a Phil and Teds for DC2 but it is getting a bit knackered. I only really need a single pushchair as but ideally will need to use a buggy board for DC2. I need it to be compatible with the baby maxi-cosi seat and would preferably like a Carrycot for the early days. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I've owned a Quinny Buzz original style but found it pretty unstable tbh and the front wheel needs to be pneumatic I think. Would quite like a Pand T's Vibe but I don't think you can add a car seat onto this?

Maxi-Cosi do their own prams, quite big three wheelers.

[haribofan]

Do they? OK, I think I vaguely knew that but will have a little google. Thanks

[haribofan]

Hmm, not keen on the look of the Maxi-Cosi Mura. Has anyone got experience of the Quinny Speedi SX? Seems to have pretty goo reviews on here.

Mountain buggy urban or swift, urban and swift fab with buggy board, both have a carrycot and have adators for MC.

I thought you could buy adapters for the P&Ts to fit the maxi-cosi cabriofix onto? (Though they don't have carrycots as such).

I have an iCandy apple jogger, the 3 wheels have been great and got us over all sorts of rough ground. It has a carrycot and fits the maxi-cosi car seat.

A friend has the mothercare my3 and that also fits your requirements, but seems very wide and the car seat fits on quite low (imho)

The Britax B-Smart comes in a 3 wheeled version which is a dream to push. it has the option of a carrycot, or you can attach a Britax car seat. It might be compatible with a Maxi Cosi too - I'm sure a stockist could give you some more info

You can add a car seat to the phil and teds explorer - you buy a metal adaptor for it

[5inthebed]

Just a few you might not have thought of, I'm assuming you want air tyres?

Mothercare Mychoice, the seat starts as a carrycot and changes to a bucket seat.

P&T explorer you can put car seat on top and use toddler seat at bottom.

I have a battered old Maclaren Mac3 and even I (ten stone of me) can sit in it! Its a bloody workhorse!

[haribofan]

CarrieLou are mountain buggy's quite a lot bigger than P&T's do you know?

Fessa Yes I could indee buy adaptors for my P&T's for a MC car seat but really, I need to replace my P&T's as it has big rips in the side netting and generally I want something new looks ol and tatty! Icandy has certainly been on my list. They look pretty good, just not as sturdy as P&T's.

However, P&T's don't seem to get very good reviews anymore. I think things may have moved on since my last pushchair purchase 4 years ago.

What about single Nipper's - are they good? I guess that doesn't fit my brief but they look quite good.

Mountain Buggy is the best for rough terrain IMO. Not a cheap option though.

[mouseanon]

Nippers are good but no car seat or carrycot options.

[NonnoMum]

You can get second hand MB on eBay for a very reasonable price these days. They do a good carrycot, and you can get an adaptor for a car seat. They are great with Buggyboards too.
They are big beggars, but they push far far better than a Phil and Ted's.
If you get one without the carrycot, I have a red one for sale if you are interesed?

Baby jogger take a maxi cosi car seat and have their own carrycot

[CarGirl]

quinny freestyler, come up on ebay a fair bit and fantastic 3 wheelers

[CarGirl]

OK, I think I will rule out a mountain buggy if they are really big. We don't live out in the sticks or anything but have to walk through 5 mins of woodland on school run which can be muddy and necessitates a 3 wheeler. Also can't stand maclarens and other light things that tip up as soon as the child gets out (if you have shopping hanging off). I am also fairly shallow and want it to look niceish (not that P&T's is v. attractive really)! Right will take a look at Quinny Freestyle and baby jogger (not heard of that one). :)

Quinny speedi's basket looks small. I need something that will take 2 book bags and other child paraphernalia (awful sp???).

[FessaEst]

I have the iCandy, and a (very old) P&T e3. My apple is definitely as sturdy, if not more so than the P&T, hs suspension and feels bigger/higher. I like the very adjustable handlebar also.

[haribofan]

Quinny Freestyle looks ok but wanted to treat myself to a new pushcair ideally as we will be buying very little else new.

That's very good to know Fessa. Maybe that'll be the one...off for another look :)

[CarGirl]

the speedi def worth looking it

[jinxediam]

quinny speedi fits the maxicosi cabrio

[Guildfordnanny]

Mountain buggy's aren't that big - the Swift is quite neat! If you like the Vibe, then the Verve takes a Maxi Cosi seat in single and tandem mode. You can put a maxi cosi seat on the Explorer too and single Sport, I believe. The new Peach Jogger, I am sure, will take a Maxi Cosi car seat. The Baby Jogger range are worth a look too. I am sure the Elite and probably the Summit take car seats.

[BikeRunSki]

You can get adaptors to put a Cabriofix on a P&T Sport, pretty sure you can still get them, or Ebay.

[mouseanon]

Mountain Buggy isn't any bigger than any other sturdy 3 wheeler. It has a good big seat too. The seats on the iCandy look quite small to me but I haven't tried one.
