Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheel buggy is a fantastic option for those who love an early morning run. They have larger wheels that provide a smoother drive, but they can be heavier and require a larger car boot.
If you want to use your pushchair for outdoor excursions should consider models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic) as they are more able to withstand the rigors on uneven ground and have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
If you're off-road or in the city, a 3-wheel buggy provides the best maneuverability. They are easy to handle and change direction on the fly, passing all stability tests. A fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame as opposed to being placed on top of it as modular seats. This design delivers in lower center of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and lighter curb pops (you don't need to put the same amount of weight or effort into launching your buggy off a curb). Mountain Buggy(r), has an innovation that is unique design: sport verso(tm) which is a 3-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a baby carrier with a parent's view or a toddler ride-onboard.
Are you thinking of going "off-road"?
For those that like to be adventurous and get off the beaten path, it's important that your buggy is able to cope with 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 lockable wheel on the front is also an excellent feature for stability when running on rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to ultimate test by driving it over rough dirt tracks, cobbles, and grass with her baby and said that "it did all of these with ease and was pleasant to jog in." The 16'' rear wheels and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front offer great stability when working off-road paths or uneven surfaces. Additionally, the tyres come with a suspension built-in for an easy ride."
The sport verso is an amazing single-buggy that will future proof your wallet as it easily adapts to take two (or more!) If your family expands, you can use the same buggy. The sling seats made of fabric are positioned snugly within the frame at a perfect height to evenly distribute weight. This allows for more ease of pushing and a less hefty curb-pop.
Are you looking to 'go out and about Do you want to 'go around town'?
A 3 wheel buggy includes a single wheel in the front and two wheels at the rear. Based on the model the wheel is free to rotate or it can be locked in place, so that the buggy is able to move in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer, and they will often come with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are ideal for everyday use in cities and can often handle kerb popping as well as taking off road.
However, as with any buggy, it is essential to drive responsibly and to not be distracted by the mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget. It is also crucial to avoid driving whilst feeling under the influence of drugs or alcohol as it can alter your reaction time and judgment. Check the footprint of your buggy after it is folded in order to ensure it will fit inside your vehicle.
If you are looking for a buggy to take you from the parks to the shops, you should look for one that has a large shopping basket, a sturdy brake pedal, and a massive sun canopy (50plus inches in size) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat made of fabric that features an automatic lie-flat mattress for infants. She also felt the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame for good weight distribution - but noted that the triangular frame does mean half the storage space of a 4 wheeler.
Do you want to walk in the park Do you want to go 'in the park'?
With the superb manoeuvrability that this fun-loving 3-wheeler can provide it is ideal for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out and found that it could traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles effortlessly. It was also able to navigate the city's kerbs because the seat sling made of fabric is perfectly positioned within the frame at a perfect height for weight distribution.
This buggy can also be used for jogging, since it has locks on the swivel wheels at the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre that gives a smooth ride. The only downside of the big wheels is that they may struggle to fit into smaller spaces when folded. Luckily it has some pretty impressive storage features to make up for this! 3 wheeler pushchair is huge and a zip-up rear pocket.
