Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled vehicle is a great option for those who enjoy a morning run. They are equipped with larger wheels, which provide an easier ride, however they are heavier and require a bigger boot.
If you plan to take your pushchair on outdoor walks, consider models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They are able to handle rough terrain and have an front wheel that can be locked to ensure more stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
Whether you're going off-road or just around town, a 3-wheel buggy offers greater maneuverability. They turn on a dime and are easy to maneuver and pass the rigorous tests of stability. A fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame, instead of sitting being placed on top of it as modular seats - this design has a lower center of gravity for easier pushing and less curb pops (you don't need to put the same amount of weight or effort into launching your buggy off the curb). Mountain Buggy(r), has a world-first design: sport verso(tm) that is a 3-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a baby carrier with a parent's view or a toddler ride-on board.
Are you planning to go "off-road"?
For those that like to go on adventures and get off the beaten track, it's important that your buggy is able to be able to handle rough terrain. You'll need a suspension that's strong enough to absorb bumps and large wheels with air-filled tyres to ensure a great grip on difficult terrain. A front wheel that locks is also a great option for stability when running on harder surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it through rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her infant and said that "it tackled all of these with ease and was pleasant to run around in." The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel provide great stability for off-road paths or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres also come with springs built-in to ensure a smooth ride.
A first in the world; sport verso is an amazing single buggy that will protect your wallet in the future since it is able to take 2 (or more!) If your family grows, you can still use the same buggy. The seats made of fabric are set snugly inside the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly. This makes for more ease of pushing and a less hefty curb-pop.
Are you looking to 'go out and about'?
A 3-wheel buggy will have one front wheel and two wheels at the back and, based on the model, the wheel will be free to rotate or fixed in position so that the buggy only moves in straight lines. They are easy to drive and manoeuvre, and often have air-filled tyres and suspension to provide a comfortable ride. They are perfect for daily use in cities and are able to handle kerb popping as well as driving off-road.
However, as with any buggy, it's crucial to drive it safely and not get distracted by the mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget. Avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs because it can influence your judgement and reaction time. Be sure to check the footprint of your buggy after it is fully folded to ensure that it will fit in your car.
If you are looking for a buggy that will transport you from the park to shops, make sure you choose one with large shopping baskets and good features such as a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that can stop when it hits a slope) and a large, extendable 50+ sun canopy. 3 wheeler pushchair liked the fabric sling that has an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also liked the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame to ensure proper weight distribution. However, she pointed out that a 4-wheeler could have more storage space.
Are you looking to visit the park'
This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures too, thanks to its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath put it to the test and discovered it was able to navigate cobbles, and bumpy pavements easily. It also performed well on the kerb pops that happen around town, since the fabric sling seat sits perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height for the most effective weight distribution to effortlessly push and lift it over them.
This buggy is ideal for jogging, since it is equipped with lockable swivel wheels on the front and a'snug and stretch' tyre that gives a really smooth ride when you're running around the streets. The only drawback with the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. It has many impressive storage features that make up for it! There's a large basket and a zip-up pocket on the back.
