Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheel buggy is a great choice for those who like running in the morning. They are equipped with larger wheels, which offer a smoother and more comfortable ride, however they can be more bulky to store and require a bigger car boot.
If you plan to take your pushchair on outdoor walks, consider models with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They can take on any terrain and include a the ability to have a front wheel be locked to ensure more stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is great option for off-roading or for navigating around town. They can turn at a moment's notice and are light in handling and have passed the stringent tests for stability. The sling seat made of fabric is placed snugly within the frame, not on top like modular seats. This results in lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even has an original design sport verso(tm) which is a three wheeled inline chassis that expands with your family - from a parent's face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you planning to go 'off road'?
It is crucial for those who want to go off-road and are more adventurous that their buggy is able to handle rough terrain. You require a sturdy suspension to absorb bumps, and large wheels that have air filled tyres to ensure a great grip on rough terrain. A front wheel that locks is also a fantastic feature to ensure stability while running on rougher surfaces.
3 wheel pushchair put this fun-loving buggy to the ultimate test by driving it over rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her baby and said that "it tackled all of these easily and was a pleasure to jog in." The 16" rear wheels and locking "swivel" front wheel provide excellent stability on off-road trails or uneven surfaces. The tyres also come with built-in springs to ensure a smooth ride.
Sport verso is a new world first. It's an amazing single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to take two (or more!) When your family grows, you'll be able to use the same buggy. The sling seat is made of fabric and fits perfectly inside the frame at the ideal height for perfect weight distribution, instantly delivering a much easier push, a less hefty curb pop and superior mobility across any terrain.
Want to 'go around town'?
A 3 wheel buggy will have one front wheel and two wheels in the back and, depending on the model, the wheel can be free to rotate or locked in place to ensure that the buggy travels in straight lines. They are easy to drive and maneuver and typically have air-filled tyres and suspension for 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, as with any buggy, it is important to drive them responsibly and not get distracted by tablets, mobile phones or other device. It is also crucial to avoid driving when under the influence of drugs or alcohol as it can alter your reaction time and judgment. Examine the footprint of your buggy after it is folded completely to ensure it will fit inside your vehicle.
If you are seeking a buggy to take you from the parks to the shops, then you must look for one with a large shopping basket, a robust brake pedal, and a huge sun canopy (50plus inches in diameter) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the fabric sling seat which includes an automatic lie flat baby bed, and found the seat to be placed perfectly within the frame for good weight distribution - but she also noted that the triangular shape of the frame is not the storage capacity of the 4 wheeler.
Do you want to go to the park'
With the incredible maneuverability this fun-loving 3-wheeler offers, it is perfect for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out and found that it could navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles effortlessly. It also coped well with the kerb pops around town, because the fabric sling seat sits perfectly inside the frame at just the right height to allow for the best weight distribution. It can easily push and lift over them.
This buggy can also be used for jogging since it has locking swivel wheels that can be locked on the front, and a'snug and stretch' tyre that gives a smooth ride. The only drawback to the big wheels is that it can be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. Luckily it has some pretty impressive storage features to make up for this! The basket is huge and a rear zip up pocket.
