Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled buggy is a fantastic option for those who love running in the morning. They have larger wheels which offer a smoother and more comfortable ride, however they can be more bulky to store and require a bigger car boot.
If you're planning to take your pushchair for outdoor walks you should consider models that have air-filled tires (also known by the name pneumatic). They are able to be used on rough terrain and come with a an front wheel that can be locked to ensure greater stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
Whether you're going off-road or in the city, a 3-wheeler offers superior maneuverability. They turn on a dime and are easy to maneuver and pass the rigorous tests of stability. 3 wheel buggy sling sits in the frame with a comfortable fit, as opposed to on top of it like modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity for easier pushing and less slams on curbs (you don't have to put as much weight or effort to push your buggy over the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) comes with the first of its kind sport verso(tm) that is a three-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a child-facing infant carrier or a toddler ride-onboard.
Are you planning to go "off-road"?
For those who like to be adventurous and get off the beaten path, it's important that your vehicle can be able to handle rough terrain. You'll need a reliable suspension system that can take the impact of bumps, and big wheels that have air-filled tyres that offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A lockable wheel on the front is also an excellent feature to ensure stability while jogging over rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles, and grass with her baby and said that "it was able to tackle all of these easily and was pleasant to run around in." The 16" rear wheels and lockable "swivel" front wheel offer excellent stability on off-road trails or uneven surfaces. The tyres are also equipped with springs built-in to ensure an easy ride.
Sport verso is a new world first. It's an amazing single buggy, however it can easily be modified to accommodate two (or more!) as your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The sling seat is made of fabric and fits perfectly inside the frame at the ideal height to ensure a optimal weight distribution, immediately providing a more easy push, a lighter curb pop and superior ability to maneuver across any terrain.
Do you want to go 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3-wheel buggy will have one wheel in front 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 are often equipped with suspension (which is useful for tricky terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is soft and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in the city and can often handle kerb-popping as well as taking off road.
Like any buggy, it is crucial to drive with a sense of responsibility and not to be distracted by your mobile phone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol as it could influence your judgement and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy once it is folded completely to ensure it will fit in your car.
If you're looking for a buggy that will transport you from the park to shops, look for one that has large shopping baskets and good features such as the padded handle, a sturdy brake pedal (that will stop on the slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling in fabric with an automatic lie-flat bed designed for newborns. She also felt that the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame to ensure good weight distribution. However, she did note that a four-wheeler has more storage space.
Do you want to take a trip 'in the park'?
With the incredible maneuverability this fun lovin' 3-wheeler can provide, it is perfect for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath put it to the test and discovered it navigated grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily. It also performed well on the kerb pops around town too, as the fabric sling seat sits snugly inside the frame and at the perfect height for the best weight distribution. It can easily move and lift them.
This buggy is ideal for jogging too since it is equipped with lockable swivel front wheels and a'snug and stretch' tyre which gives an extremely smooth ride while you are pounding the streets. The only drawback to the big wheels is that it isn't easy to fold down into smaller spaces. It's got some impressive storage features that make up for it! There's a large basket as well as an open pocket that zips up at the back.
