Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you are a fan of a morning jog a three-wheel buggy may be the best option for you. They come with larger wheels, which provide an easier ride, however they are heavier and require a larger car boot.
If you want to use your pushchair outdoors you should consider models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They can be used on rough terrain and come with a an front wheel that can lock to provide greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
No matter if you're driving off-road or just around town, a 3-wheeler offers the best maneuverability. They are easy to handle and change direction on the fly, passing all stability tests. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This creates having a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r), has a world-first: sport verso(tm), which is a 3-wheelin' inline chassis. It can be used as a child-facing infant carrier or as a toddler ride-on board.
Are you going to go '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 to take the impact of bumps, and big wheels with air-filled tyres to give you a great grip on rough surfaces. A lockable wheel in the front is an excellent feature for stability when jogging on rough 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 baby, and she said that "it tackled all of these easily and was enjoyable to run around in." The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel offer great stability for off-road paths or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres are also equipped with springs that are built-in to guarantee an easy ride.
Sport verso is another world-first. It's a fantastic single buggy, however it is easily adapted to take two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of a single buggy! The seats made of fabric are positioned snugly within the frame at a perfect height to evenly distribute weight. This enables a much easier push and a more comfortable curb-pop.
Do you want to explore town'?
A three-wheeler will have 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 is able to travel in straight lines. Their USP is that they are extremely maneuverable and easy to steer and often come with suspension (which can be handy for tricky terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in town and are usually capable of handling kerb pops, as well as being capable of driving off road too.
As with all buggys, 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. Examine the footprint of your buggy once it is folded completely to ensure it will fit in your car.
If you want an infant stroller that can transport you from the park to shops, look for one with a spacious shopping basket and features that are useful, such as an upholstered handle, a strong brake pedal (that will stop when you hit the slope) and a large and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling made of fabric that has an automatic lie-flat bed designed for newborns. She also thought the seating was placed 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 go to the park'
This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures due to its superb maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tested it and found that it could navigate grass, bumpy sidewalks and cobbles effortlessly. 3 wheeled pushchairs was able to take on the city's kerbs because the seat sling made of fabric is placed snugly inside the frame at the ideal height for weight distribution.
This buggy is great for jogging, as it can be fitted with lockable swivel front wheels and comes with a "snug & stretch' tyre which gives a really smooth ride when you're running around the streets. The only downside with 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 large basket as well as a zip-up pocket at the back.
