Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled buggy is a fantastic option for those who love a morning run. They have larger wheels that provide the ride with more comfort, however they can be bulkier and require a bigger boot.
If you're planning to take your pushchair on outdoor walks, consider models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic). They can take on any terrain and include a an front wheel that can lock to provide more stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is a ideal choice for off-roading, or for navigating around town. They are able to turn at any time and are easy to maneuver and have passed the stringent tests for stability. A fabric sling sits snug inside the frame, instead of sitting over it like modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and less slams on curbs (you don't have to put any effort or weight into popping your buggy over a curb). Mountain Buggy(r), has the first of its kind design: sport verso(tm) which is a three-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a baby carrier with a parent's view or as a toddler ride-on board.
Are you going to take a trip off road?
If you want to be adventurous and get away from the main roads it's essential that your buggy can cope with rough terrain. 3 wheeler pushchair need a sturdy suspension system to absorb bumps and large wheels with tyres filled with air to provide excellent grip on rough surfaces. A lockable front wheel is also a great feature for stability when jogging on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test when driving it over rough grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with her infant and 3 year old. She said "it did everything without difficulty, and was even pleasant to jog in with. The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel provide excellent stability on off-road trails or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres are also equipped with springs that are built-in to guarantee the smoothest ride.
Another world's first; sport verso is an amazing single-buggy that will protect your wallet in the future since it is able to take 2 (or more!) When your family grows, you'll be able to use the same buggy. The fabric sling seat fits comfortably inside the frame at the ideal height to ensure a optimal weight distribution. It is instantly giving you a much more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop and better mobility over any terrain.
Want to 'go around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3-wheel buggy includes a single wheel in the front and two wheels in the rear. Depending on the model the wheel is free to move or it can be locked in place, so that the buggy can only travel in straight lines. Their USP is that they are extremely maneuverable and easy to steer, and often come with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are ideal for everyday use in the city and are often able to handle kerb-popping and taking off road.
Like any buggy, it is important to drive responsibly and avoid being distracted by your smartphone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving while under the effects of alcohol or drugs as this can affect your judgment and reaction time. If you do have a car boot to store your buggy, be sure to check the size of its footprint when fully folded to ensure that it can fit inside your car.
If you want an infant stroller that can transport you from the park to the shops, then you should look for one that has large shopping baskets and good features such as the padded handle, a sturdy brake pedal (that will stop on an upward slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat in fabric, which features an automatic lie-flat baby bed, and found the seat to be placed precisely within the frame to ensure an even weight distribution. However, she she also noted that the triangular shape of the frame has half as much storage space as the four wheeler.

This 3-wheeler is perfect for urban adventures because of its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath put it to the test and discovered it navigated grass, cobbles, and bumpy pavements easily. It was also able to navigate the kerbs in town, since the seat sling is perfectly positioned within the frame at the ideal height for weight distribution.
This model is great for jogging, since it is equipped with lockable swivel front wheels and comes with a "snug & stretch' tyre which gives an extremely smooth ride while you're pounding the pavement. The only downside of the big wheels is that they may struggle to fit into smaller spaces when folded. It's got many impressive storage features that make up for it! The basket is huge and a rear zip up pocket.
