Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
3 wheel pushchair -wheel buggy is a great option for those who enjoy an early morning run. They are equipped with larger wheels, which give a smoother ride, however they can be more bulky to store and require a larger car boot.

What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is a great option for off-roading or navigating around town. They are easy to handle and can turn on a dime and pass all tests of stability. A fabric sling sits in the frame with a comfortable fit, rather than on top of it like modular seats. This design delivers in lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push and less slams on curbs (you don't have to put as much weight or effort into launching your buggy off the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with the first of its kind sport verso(tm), a 3 wheelin' inline chassis that can grow with your family - from the face of your infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you going to get off the road?
It's crucial for those who like to go off-road and are more adventurous that their buggy can cope with rough terrain. You'll need a suspension that's strong enough to absorb bumps and large wheels that have air filled tyres for great grip on rough terrain. A front wheel that locks is also a fantastic feature to ensure stability while running on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test when driving it across rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her infant and 3 year old. She said "it did everything without difficulty, and was even pleasant to jog with. The rear wheels of 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front provide great stability when you're tackling off-road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres are equipped with suspension to ensure smooth riding."
Sport verso is a world first. It's an amazing single buggy, however it can easily be adapted to accommodate two (or more!) as your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The seats made of fabric are positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly. This enables more ease of pushing and a more comfortable curb-pop.
Do you want to go 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3 wheel buggy has one wheel in front and two wheels in the back and, depending on the model, the wheel can be free to rotate or locked in place so that the buggy only moves in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and often come with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is soft and comfortable. They are ideal for everyday use in cities and are able to handle kerb-popping and going off road.
However, as with any buggy, it is important to drive them responsibly and not be distracted by tablets, mobile phones or any other gadget. Avoid driving when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol because it can influence your judgement and reaction time. Be sure to check the footprint of your buggy after 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, then you should make sure you choose one with large shopping baskets and features that are useful, such as a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that will stop on an upward slope) and a large, extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling made of fabric that has an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also felt that the seating was perfectly placed within the frame to ensure good weight distribution. However, she pointed out that a 4-wheeler could have more storage space.
Are you looking to visit the park'
With the superb manoeuvrability that this fun lovin' 3-wheeler can provide, it is perfect for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tested it and found that it was able to traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles effortlessly. It also performed well on the kerb pops around town, since the sling seat is tucked comfortably inside the frame at just the right height for the best weight distribution. It can easily push and lift over them.
This buggy is great for jogging, as it can be fitted with lockable swivel front wheels and has a'snug & stretch' tyre that provides an extremely smooth ride while you are pounding the streets. The only drawback of the large wheels is that it may be difficult to fit into smaller spaces when folded. It does have some impressive storage features to make up for this! There's a huge basket and an open pocket that zips up at the back.
