Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you love an early morning run, an e-bike with three wheels could be a good choice for you. They are equipped with larger wheels that provide an easier ride, however they can be bulkier and require a larger car boot.
Those wanting to use their pushchair for outdoor excursions should consider models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic) as they are more able to withstand the rigors on rough terrain and have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked for better stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
If you're off road or around town, a 3-wheeler offers the best maneuverability. 3 wheel buggy can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to maneuver and pass the rigorous tests of stability. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame and not on top like modular seats. This creates lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even has an original design sports verso(tm), a 3 wheeled inline chassis that expands with your family - from the face of your infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you going to get off the road?
It is crucial for those who want to explore off-road, and are more adventurous that their buggy is able to take on rough terrain. You want a good suspension system to absorb bumps and large wheels with air-filled tyres to offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A lockable wheel on the front is also an excellent option for stability while jogging over rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to the ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her infant, and she said that "it did all of these easily and was pleasant to jog on." The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel offer great stability for off-road paths or uneven surfaces. three wheel pushchair are also equipped with built-in springs to ensure the smoothest ride.
Sport verso is another world-first. It's a fantastic single buggy, however it is easily adapted to take two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of one buggy! The seats made of fabric are placed snugly inside the frame at the perfect height to evenly distribute weight. This allows for an easier push and a less hefty curb-pop.
Want to 'go around town'?
A 3-wheel buggy 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 to ensure that the buggy can only be driven in straight lines. Their USP is that they are extremely maneuverable and easy to steer, and they will often come with suspension (which can be useful in tricky terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are ideal for daily use around town and are often able to cope with the popping of kerbs and also be capable of driving off-road too.
As with any buggy, it's crucial to drive it safely and not be distracted by the mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget. Avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs as this can alter your judgment and reaction time. Examine the footprint of your buggy after it is folded completely to ensure that it will fit inside your vehicle.
If you're seeking a buggy to transport you from the park to the shops, then you should look for one with a big shopping basket, a strong brake pedal, and a massive sun canopy (50+ inches in diameter) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath liked the fabric sling which has an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also liked the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame to ensure proper weight distribution. However, she pointed out that a 4-wheeler could have more storage space.
Are you looking to visit the park'
With the amazing maneuverability this fun lovin' 3-wheeler can provide it is ideal for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tested it and found that it could traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles without difficulty. It was also able to navigate the city's kerbs since the seat sling is placed snugly inside the frame at a perfect height for weight distribution.
This buggy is ideal for jogging too as it can be fitted with lockable swivel front wheels and comes with a "snug & stretch' tyre that provides a really smooth ride when you are pounding the streets. The only downside with the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold down into smaller spaces. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage features to make up for this! The basket is huge and a zippered rear pocket.
