Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you are a fan of an early morning run, the three-wheeled buggy could be a good choice for you. They are equipped with larger wheels, which provide the ride with more comfort, however they can be heavier and require a larger car boot.
If you're planning to take your pushchair for outdoor walks, consider models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They can handle rough terrain and have an front wheel that can be locked to ensure greater stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
If you're off-road or just around town, a 3-wheeler offers greater maneuverability. They are simple to maneuver and change direction on the fly, passing all stability tests. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This results in a lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with the first of its kind sports verso(tm), a 3 wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from parent face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are 3 wheeled pushchair thinking of going "off-road"?
For those who like to go on adventures and go off the beaten track, it's important that your buggy is able to be able to handle 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 in the front is an excellent option for stability when running on rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test when driving it over rough cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with her infant and 3 year old. She she stated that "it tackled everything with ease, and was even pleasant to jog in with. The rear wheels of 16 inches and lockable'swivel' front wheel offer great stability when working off-road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres have built-in suspension for smooth riding."
Sport verso is a world first. It's a brilliant single buggy, however it can easily be adapted to take two (or more!) when your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seats are placed snugly inside the frame at a perfect height to evenly distribute weight. This enables more ease of pushing and a lighter curb-pop.
Do you want to travel 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A three-wheeler includes a single wheel in the front and two wheels in the rear. Depending on the model, either the wheel is free to rotate or can be locked to ensure that the buggy can only be driven in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer, and they will often come with suspension (which can be handy for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is soft and comfortable. This means they are great for everyday use in the city and are usually equipped to handle the popping of kerbs as well as being able to go off road too.
However, as with any buggy, it's essential to drive responsibly and to not be distracted by a mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget. It is also crucial to avoid driving if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs as it can affect your reaction times and judgment. Examine the footprint of your buggy when it is folded in order to ensure that it will fit into your vehicle.
If you want an infant stroller that can take you from the park to shops, then you should make sure you choose one with large shopping baskets and features that are useful, such as an upholstered handle, a strong brake pedal (that will stop when you hit a slope) and a large, extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling made of fabric that has an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also liked the seating was perfectly placed within the frame to ensure proper weight distribution. However, she noted that a four-wheeler has more storage space.
Do you want to walk in the park'?
With the superb manoeuvrability that this fun-loving 3-wheeler has to offer it is ideal for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath test drove it and discovered that it could traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles without difficulty. It also performed well on the kerb pops that happen around town, because the seat of the fabric sits snugly inside the frame and at just the right height for the most effective weight distribution. It can easily move and lift them.
The buggy can also be used for jogging as it has locking swivel wheels that can be locked on the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre which gives an easy ride. The only downside to the large wheels is it may be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. It does have some impressive storage options to make up for this! The basket is huge and a zippered rear pocket.
