Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled vehicle is a great option for those who enjoy an early morning run. They come with larger wheels that offer a smoother and more comfortable ride, however, they are heavier to store and require a larger car boot.
If you want to use your pushchair on outdoor walks, consider models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic). They can handle rough terrain and have an front wheel that can be locked to ensure greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is great option for off-roading or for navigating around town. They are able to turn at any time and are easy to maneuver, passing stringent stability tests. A fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and less slams on curbs (you don't have to put any effort or weight into launching your buggy off a curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even has the first of its kind: sport verso(tm), a 3 wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from the face of your infant carrier to toddler ride-on boards.
Are you planning to go "off-road"?
For those who like to be adventurous and venture off the beaten track it is essential that your buggy is able to cope with rough terrain. You'll need a reliable suspension system to absorb bumps, and large wheels with tyres filled with air to offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A front wheel that locks is also a wonderful feature to ensure stability while running on harder surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it over rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her newborn and she reported that "it did all of these with ease and was pleasant to run around in." The 16'' rear wheels and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front provide great stability when you're tackling roadsides or uneven surfaces, and the tyres have built-in suspension for smooth riding."
3 wheeler pushchairs in the world; sport verso is an amazing single-buggy that will future proof your wallet since it is able to take 2 (or more!) when your family grows all within the footprint of a single buggy! The fabric sling seat fits perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution, immediately giving you a much more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop and superior maneuverability across any terrain.
Do you want to travel 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3 wheel buggy has a single front wheel and two wheels at the rear and, depending on the model, the wheel can be swivel freely or fixed in position to ensure that the buggy moves in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and they will often come with suspension (which can be useful in difficult terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in cities and are able to handle kerb popping as well as taking off road.
As with any buggy, it's essential to drive responsibly and to not be distracted by a mobile phone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs as this can influence your judgement and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy when it is folded in order to ensure that it will fit in your car.
If you want an infant stroller that can transport you from the park to the shops, look for one with large shopping baskets and good features such as the padded handle, a sturdy brake pedal (that will stop on a slope) and a large and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling in fabric that has an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also thought the seating was perfectly placed within the frame to ensure proper weight distribution. However, she pointed out that a 4-wheeler would have more storage space.
Do you want to take a trip 'in the park'?
With the amazing maneuverability this fun-loving 3-wheeler can provide it is ideal for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tested it to the test and discovered it could navigate grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily. It was also able to navigate the city's kerbs because the seat sling made of fabric is positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height for weight distribution.
This buggy can also be used to jog, as it has locking swivel wheels that can be locked on the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre which gives an easy ride. The only drawback of the large wheels is that they may struggle to fit into some more compact spaces when folded. It's got some impressive storage features that can make up for it! It has a large basket and a zippered rear pocket.
