Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheel buggy is a great option for those who love running in the morning. They are equipped with larger wheels, which give 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 called pneumatic) - they cope well on rough ground and can have the front wheel swivelling, which can be locked for better stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is excellent choice for off-roading or navigating around town. They are simple to maneuver and change direction on the fly and pass all tests of stability. A fabric sling sits in the frame with a comfortable fit, rather than over it like modular seats - this design has a lower centre of gravity, which makes it easier to push and less curb pops (you do not have to put any effort or weight to push your buggy over a curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even has a world first sport verso(tm) which is a three wheelin' inline chassis that grows with your family - from a parent's face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you thinking of going "off-road"?
If you want to be more adventurous and get off the beaten track it's essential that your buggy can be able to handle rough terrain. You need a good suspension to absorb bumps, and large wheels with air filled tires for a good grip on difficult terrain. A lockable front wheel is also a fantastic feature to ensure stability while running on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her newborn, and she said that "it was able to tackle all of these in a breeze and was a pleasure to jog on." The 16" rear wheels and locking "swivel" front wheel provide the perfect stability for off-road tracks or uneven surfaces. The tyres also have springs built-in to ensure a smooth ride.
Sport verso is a new world-first. It's an amazing single buggy, however it can easily be modified to take two (or more!) when your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seats are placed snugly inside the frame at the ideal height to evenly distribute weight. This enables an easier push and a lighter curb-pop.
Do you want to travel 'around town'?
A 3-wheel buggy will have one wheel in front and two wheels at the back and, depending on the model, the wheel can be free to rotate or fixed in position so that the buggy is able to travel in straight lines. They are easy to drive and maneuver and often have air-filled tyres and suspension to provide an enjoyable ride. They are great for everyday use in cities and are often able to handle kerb popping as well as driving off-road.
As with any buggy it is important to drive safely and not be distracted by your mobile phone, tablet, or other device. It is also crucial to avoid driving whilst feeling under the influence of drugs or alcohol as this could affect your reaction times and judgment. Check the footprint of your buggy after it is fully folded to ensure it will fit in your car.
If you're looking for a buggy to take you from the parks to the shops, you must look for one with a large shopping basket, a strong brake pedal, and a huge sun canopy (50plus inches in size) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling in fabric that has an automatic lie-flat mattress 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 4-wheeler could have more storage space.
Are you looking to visit the park'
With the incredible maneuverability this fun lovin' 3-wheeler has to offer it is ideal 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 that happen around town too, as the seat of the fabric sits comfortably inside the frame at just the right height for the best weight distribution. It is able to easily push and lift it over them.
This buggy is ideal for jogging since it is equipped with lockable swivel front wheels and has a'snug & stretch' tyre which gives a really smooth ride when you are pounding the streets. The only drawback to the large wheels is it may be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. 3 wheel buggy got many impressive storage features that make up for it! - including a huge basket and a zip-up rear pocket.
