Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled buggy is a great choice for those who love running in the morning. They have larger wheels which provide a smoother ride however, they are heavier to store and require a bigger car boot.
If you want to use your pushchair for outdoor walks should consider models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic) as they are more able to withstand the rigors on rough terrain and have the front wheel swivelling, which can be locked for better stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheel buggy is a ideal choice for off-roading, or for navigating around town. They can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to maneuver and have passed the stringent tests for stability. The fabric sling seat is positioned snugly inside the frame and not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even has an original design: sport verso(tm) which is a three wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from parent face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you going to go 'off road'?
It's important for those who like to explore off-road, and are more adventurous that their vehicle can cope with rough terrain. You want a good 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 front wheel that locks is also a wonderful feature to ensure stability while running on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her baby and she reported that "it tackled all of these in a breeze and was pleasant to jog on." The 16" rear wheels and the 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 the smoothest ride.
Sport verso is a new world-first. It's a fantastic single buggy, but it is easily adapted to take two (or more!) once pushchair 3 wheels grows - all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame at the perfect height to ensure a perfect weight distribution, instantly giving you a much more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop and better ability to maneuver on any terrain.
Are you looking to 'go out and about'?
A three-wheeler will have one wheel in front and two wheels in the back and, depending on the model, the wheel can be swivel freely 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 can be handy for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in the city and can often handle kerb popping as well as driving off-road.
Like any buggy, it is essential to drive with a sense of responsibility and not be distracted by your tablet, mobile phone or other device. It is also crucial to avoid driving when under the influence of alcohol or drugs since this could affect your reaction times and judgment. If you do have an auto boot to store your buggy be sure to verify the size of its footprint when it is fully folded to ensure that it can fit inside your car.
If you're looking for an infant stroller that can take you from the park to shops then make sure you choose one with a spacious shopping basket and features that are useful, such as the padded handle, a sturdy brake pedal (that can stop when it hits an upward slope) and a large expandable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath liked the fabric sling with an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also felt that the seating was placed perfectly within the frame to ensure good weight distribution. However, she pointed out that a four-wheeler has more storage space.
Do you want to go to the park'
With the incredible maneuverability this fun lovin' 3-wheeler has to offer, it is perfect for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath test drove it and discovered that it was able to navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles without difficulty. It also did well with the kerb pops around town, since the seat of the fabric sits perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height to allow for the best weight distribution. It is able to easily move and lift them.
The 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 provides a smooth ride. The only downside with the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold down into smaller spaces. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage features to compensate for this! There's a large basket as well as a zip-up pocket in the back.
