Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheel buggy is a great choice for those who enjoy an early morning run. They have larger wheels that give a smoother drive, but they can be bulkier and require a bigger boot.
If you want to use your pushchair outdoors look into models with air-filled tires (also known by the name pneumatic). They can take on any terrain and include a an front wheel that can lock to provide greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
If you're off road or around town, a 3-wheel buggy offers the best maneuverability. They can turn at a moment's notice and are light in handling, passing stringent stability tests. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design results in having a lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even has 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 boards.
Are you thinking of going "off-road"?
For those that like to go on adventures and get off the beaten path it is essential that your vehicle can handle rough terrain. You want a good suspension system to absorb bumps, and large wheels with tyres filled with air to offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A lockable wheel on the front is an excellent option for stability while jogging over rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to the ultimate test by driving it over rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her infant, and she said that "it tackled all of these easily and was a pleasure to jog in." The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel offer great stability for off-road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres are also equipped with springs that are built-in to guarantee the smoothest ride.
Another world's first; sport verso is a brilliant single buggy that will ensure your budget is secure because it can easily take two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of one buggy! The sling seats made of fabric are set snugly inside 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'?
A 3 wheel buggy includes a single wheel in the front and two wheels at the rear. The model you choose will determine the wheel is free to rotate or can be locked in place so that the buggy can only move in straight lines. Their USP is that they are extremely maneuverable and easy to steer and are often equipped with suspension (which is useful for tricky terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is smooth and comfortable. 3 wheel pushchair are perfect for daily use in cities and can often handle kerb popping as well as driving off-road.
Like any buggy, it is important to drive safely and not to be distracted by your mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget. It is also important to avoid driving if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol as this can alter your reaction time and judgment. If you do have a car boot to store your buggy be sure to check the dimensions of its footprint when it is fully folded so that it will fit in your car.
If you are looking for an infant stroller that can take 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 a slope) and a large expandable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly liked the sling seat made of fabric that features an automatic lie-flat baby bed, and felt that the seating was placed precisely within the frame to ensure optimal weight distribution. She also it was noted that the triangular frame has half the storage capacity of a 4 wheeler.
Want to go 'into the park'
This 3-wheeler is perfect for urban adventures due to its superb maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out to the test and found it navigated grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily. It also coped well with the kerb pops around town, because the sling seat is tucked comfortably inside the frame at the perfect height for the most effective weight distribution. It is able to easily push and lift it over them.
This buggy can also be used for jogging because it comes with locks on the swivel wheels at the front, and a'snug and stretch' tyre which gives smooth riding. The only downside with the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. It comes with several impressive storage options that make up for it! - including a huge basket and a zippered rear pocket.
