Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you enjoy an early morning run, a three-wheel buggy may be the best option for you. They have larger wheels which provide a smoother ride however they can be more bulky to store and require a bigger car boot.
Anyone who wants to use their pushchair on outdoor walks should consider models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic) - they cope well on rough ground and can have the front wheel swivelling, which can be locked for greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheel buggy is a great option for off-roading or just navigating the city. They can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to handle and have passed the stringent tests for stability. The sling seat made of fabric is set in a snug place inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in a lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with a world first sport verso(tm) which is a three wheeled inline chassis that can grow with your family - from a parent's face infant carrier to toddler ride-on boards.
Are you planning to get off the road?
For those who like to go on adventures and venture off the beaten track it's essential that your buggy is able to be able to handle rough terrain. You want a good suspension system to absorb bumps, and large wheels with air-filled tyres to give you a great grip on rough surfaces. A front wheel that locks is also a wonderful feature to ensure stability while running on tougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her infant and said that "it was able to tackle all of these with ease and was a pleasure to run around in." The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel provide great stability for off-road paths or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres also come with springs built-in to ensure a smooth ride.
A first in the world; sport verso is a brilliant single buggy that can protect your wallet in the future as it easily adapts to take 2 (or more!) If 3 wheeled stroller grows, you can still use the same buggy. The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame at the ideal height to ensure the optimal weight distribution, immediately delivering a much easier push, a less hefty curb pop, and a more efficient maneuverability across any terrain.
Do you want to 'do some sightseeing Do you want to 'go 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 will be free to rotate or locked in place to ensure that the buggy is able to travel in straight lines. They are simple to drive and maneuver and usually have tyres with air filled and suspension to provide a comfortable ride. They are perfect for daily use in cities and are often able to handle kerb-popping as well as taking off road.
However, just like any buggy, it is crucial to drive it safely and not get distracted by the mobile phone, tablet or other device. It is also crucial to avoid driving if you are 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 that it will fit in your car.
If you are seeking a buggy to transport you from the park to the shops, you should look for one with a big shopping basket, a strong brake pedal, and a large sun canopy (50+ inches in diameter) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat made of fabric that has an automatic lie flat mattress for infants. She also felt the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame for an even weight distribution. However, she she also noted that the triangular shape of the frame does mean half the storage capacity of a 4 wheeler.

With the amazing 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 could navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles with ease. It was also able to handle the kerbs in town, because the seat sling made of fabric is positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height for weight distribution.
The buggy can also be used for jogging because it comes with locking swivel wheels that can be locked on the front, and a'snug and stretch' tyre, which provides smooth riding. The only downside of the large wheels is that they may struggle to fit into some smaller spaces when folded. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage features to compensate for this! There's a large basket and an opening pocket with zips in the back.
