Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you love a morning jog a three-wheel buggy may be the best option for you. They have larger wheels which offer a smoother and more comfortable ride, but can be bulkier to store and require a bigger car boot.
If you plan to take your pushchair for outdoor walks look into models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic). 3 wheeler pushchair are able to be used on rough terrain and come with a a front wheel that can lock for more stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
3 wheel buggy -wheeled buggy is a excellent choice for off-roading or for navigating around town. They are able to turn at any time and are easy to handle and have passed the stringent tests for stability. A fabric sling sits snug inside the frame, instead of sitting on top of it like modular seats - this design provides a lower center of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and less slams on curbs (you do not have to put any effort or weight to push your buggy over the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even has the first of its kind: sport verso(tm) which is a three wheelin' inline chassis that can grow with your family - from a parent's face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you planning to go 'off road'?
For those that like to go on adventures and get away from the main roads it is essential 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 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 put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it through rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her newborn, and she said that "it tackled all of these in a breeze and was enjoyable to jog in." The 16'' rear wheels and the lockable'swivel' front wheels provide great stability when you're tackling roadsides or uneven surfaces. Additionally, the tyres have built-in suspension for a smooth ride."
Sport verso is a world-first. It's a fantastic single buggy, but it is easily adapted to take two (or more!) When your family expands, you can use the same buggy. The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame at the right height to ensure a optimal weight distribution, immediately providing a more easy push, a less hefty curb pop and superior ability to maneuver on any terrain.
Are you looking to 'go out and about'?
A three-wheeler includes a single wheel in the front and two wheels in the rear. Based on the model, either the wheel is free to rotate or it can be locked in place so that the buggy is able to be driven in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer, and often come with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is soft and comfortable. They are great for everyday use around town, and will often be capable of handling the popping of kerbs as well as being able to go off road as well.
As with any buggy it is essential to drive responsibly and avoid being distracted by your mobile phone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving under the effects of alcohol or drugs as this can influence your judgement and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy once it is folded in order to ensure it will fit in your car.
If you're looking for a buggy to transport you from the park to the shops, you should look for one with a large shopping basket, a robust brake pedal, and a huge sun canopy (50plus inches in size) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly liked the fabric sling seat which has an automatic lie flat bed for newborns, and felt that the seating was placed precisely within the frame to ensure an even weight distribution. However, she it was noted that the triangular frame is not as much storage space as the 4 wheeler.
Are you looking to visit the park'
This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures because of its amazing maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tested it and found that it could navigate grass, bumpy sidewalks and cobbles effortlessly. It was also able to handle the kerbs in town, as the fabric seat sling is placed snugly inside the frame at the perfect height for weight distribution.
This buggy can also be used for jogging, because it comes with locks on the swivel wheels at the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre which gives a smooth ride. The only downside of the big wheels is that it may be difficult to fit into smaller spaces when folded. It does have some impressive storage features to make up for this! The basket is huge and a zip-up rear pocket.
