Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you love running in the morning, an e-bike with three wheels could be a good option for you. They have larger wheels which provide a smoother ride but can be bulkier to store and require a larger car boot.
Those wanting to use their pushchair for outdoor walks should consider models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic) They are able to handle on uneven ground and have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked for greater stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
Whether you're going off-road or just around town, a 3-wheeler offers greater maneuverability. They are able to turn at any time and are easy to handle, passing stringent stability tests. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame and not on top like modular seats. This creates having a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) comes with a world-first: sport verso(tm), which is a three-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a parent-facing infant carrier or a toddler ride-onboard.
Are you planning to go "off-road"?
For those who like to go on adventures and go off the beaten path, it's important that your buggy can cope with rough terrain. You need a good suspension to absorb bumps, and large wheels with air-filled tyres for great grip on rough terrain. A lockable front wheel is also a fantastic option for stability when running on harder surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun lovin' buggy to the test when driving it over rough grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with her newborn and 3 year old, and she said "it handled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog with. The 16" rear wheels and lockable "swivel" front wheel offer the perfect stability for off-road tracks or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres also come with springs built-in to ensure an easy ride.
The sport verso is an amazing single buggy that can ensure your budget is secure since it is able to take two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of a single buggy! The seats made of fabric are positioned snugly within the frame at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly. This allows for more ease of pushing and a lighter curb-pop.
Do you want to travel 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3-wheel buggy will have one front wheel and two wheels at the rear and, based on the model, the wheel will either be free to swivel or fixed in position so that the buggy only moves in straight lines. They are simple to drive and manoeuvre, and typically have air-filled tyres and suspension to provide a comfortable ride. As a result, they are ideal for daily use around town and are usually equipped to handle the popping of kerbs as well as being capable of driving off-road too.
However, as with any buggy, it's important to drive them responsibly and not get distracted by tablets, mobile phones or other device. Avoid driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs because it can alter your judgment and reaction time. If you do have an auto boot to store your buggy make sure you check the size of its footprint when fully folded so that it will fit inside your car.
If you want an infant stroller that can take you from the park to shops then look for one that has large shopping baskets and features that are useful, such as an upholstered handle, a strong brake pedal (that will stop when you hit the slope) and a huge, extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly liked the fabric sling seat which has an automatic lie flat baby bed, and felt the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame for an even weight distribution. However, she noted that the triangular frame is not the storage capacity of the 4 wheeler.
Do you want to go 'in the park'?
With the amazing maneuverability this fun lovin' 3-wheeler can provide it is ideal for urban adventures too. 3 wheel buggy drove it and discovered that it could navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles without difficulty. It also did well with the kerb pops that happen around town, since the seat of the fabric sits perfectly inside the frame at just the right height for the best weight distribution. It is able to easily push and lift it over them.
The buggy can also be used for jogging, because it comes with lockable swivel wheels on the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre that gives a smooth ride. The only downside with the large wheels is it isn't easy to fold down into smaller spaces. It has some impressive storage features that can make up for it! The basket is huge and a zip-up rear pocket.
