Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you enjoy an early morning run, the three-wheeled buggy could be a good choice for you. 3 wheel buggy come with larger wheels, which provide a smoother drive, but they can be bulkier and require a bigger boot.
If you want to use your pushchair outdoors, consider models with air-filled tires (also known by the name pneumatic). They can handle rough terrain and have an front wheel that can be locked to ensure greater stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is a ideal choice for off-roading, or for navigating around town. They are easy to handle and change direction on the fly and pass all tests of stability. A fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats - this design provides a lower center of gravity for easier pushing and less slams on curbs (you don't have to put any effort or weight to push your buggy over a curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with a world first sport verso(tm) which is a three wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from the face of your infant carrier to toddler ride-on boards.
Are you thinking of going "off-road"?
It is crucial for those who want to explore off-road, and are more adventurous than their vehicle can handle rough terrain. You want a good suspension system that can take the impact of bumps, and big wheels with air-filled tyres to give you a great grip on rough surfaces. A lockable wheel on the front is an excellent feature for stability when running on rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test while driving it across rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her newborn and 3 year old. She she said "it handled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog with. The rear wheels are 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' front wheels offer great stability when working roadsides or uneven surfaces. The tyres have built-in suspension for an easy ride."
Another world's first; sport verso is a brilliant single buggy that can protect your wallet in the future because it can easily take 2 (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seat fits comfortably inside the frame at the perfect height to ensure a optimal weight distribution, immediately providing a more easy push, a less hefty curb pop and better maneuverability over any terrain.
Do you want to explore town'?
A three-wheeler will have a single front wheel and two wheels in the back and, based on the model, the wheel can be free to rotate or locked in place to ensure that the buggy travels in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and they will often come with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres to ensure the ride is smooth and comfortable. As a result, they are perfect for everyday use in the city and are usually able to cope with kerb popping and also be capable of driving off road too.
As with any buggy, it's essential to drive responsibly and not be distracted by the mobile phone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving when you are under the effects of alcohol or drugs as it could affect your judgment and reaction time. If you do have an auto boot to store your buggy make sure you check the dimensions of its footprint when it is fully folded to ensure that it can fit inside your car.
If you're looking for a buggy that will take you from the park to shops, look for one that has large shopping baskets and great features like a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that can stop when it hits the slope) and a large, extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat made of fabric that features an automatic lie-flat baby bed, and felt that the seating was placed precisely within the frame to ensure optimal weight distribution. She also it was noted that the triangular frame does mean half the storage capacity of a 4 wheeler.
Do you want to go to the park'
This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures due to its superb maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out and found that it was able to navigate grass, bumpy sidewalks and cobbles with ease. It also coped well with the kerb pops around town too, as the sling seat is tucked perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height for the best weight distribution to effortlessly push and lift it over them.
This buggy is great for jogging, because it comes with lockable swivel wheels on the front and has a'snug & stretch' tyre that gives an extremely smooth ride while you are pounding the streets. The only drawback to the large wheels is it isn't easy to fold down into smaller spaces. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage features to compensate for this! There's a huge basket and an opening pocket with zips at the back.
