Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled buggy is a fantastic option for those who like running in the morning. They come with larger wheels that give a smoother ride, however they can be more bulky to store and require a bigger car boot.
If you plan to take your pushchair outdoors, consider models with air-filled tires (also known by the name pneumatic). They can take on any terrain and include a a front wheel that can be locked to ensure more stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is a excellent choice for off-roading or just navigating the city. They can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to handle, passing stringent stability tests. The fabric sling seat is positioned snugly inside the frame, not on top as modular seats. This results in lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with a world first sports verso(tm), a 3 wheelin' inline chassis that can grow with your family - from the face of your infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you planning to get off the road?
For those that like to go on adventures and venture off the beaten path it is essential that your vehicle can be able to handle rough terrain. You'll need a suspension that's strong enough to absorb bumps, and large wheels that have air filled tires for a good grip on rough terrain. A lockable front wheel is also a fantastic feature to ensure stability while running on harder surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun lovin' buggy to the test by driving it across rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her infant and 3 year old, and said "it did everything without difficulty and was even enjoyable to jog with. The 16" rear wheels and lockable "swivel" front wheel offer great stability for off-road paths or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres also have springs built-in to ensure the smoothest ride.
Another world's first; sport verso is an amazing single buggy that can future proof your wallet because it can easily take two (or more!) when your family grows all within the footprint of a single buggy! The fabric sling seat fits snugly inside the frame, at the ideal height to ensure the optimal weight distribution. It is instantly giving you a much more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop and superior maneuverability over any terrain.
Want to 'go around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3-wheel buggy will have one front wheel and two wheels at the back and, based on the model, the wheel will be free to rotate or fixed in position so that the buggy travels in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and are often equipped with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in town, and will often be equipped to handle the popping of kerbs as well as being able to go off road too.
As with any buggy, it is important to drive them responsibly and not get distracted by a mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget. Avoid driving under the effects of alcohol or drugs because it can affect your judgment and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy once it is folded in order to ensure that it will fit inside your vehicle.
If you're looking for a buggy that will take you from the park to the shops, look for one that has large shopping baskets and good features such as the padded handle, a sturdy brake pedal (that can stop when it hits an upward slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. 3 wheel pushchair loved the sling made of fabric that has an automatic lie-flat mattress for newborns. She also thought the seating was placed perfectly within the frame to ensure good weight distribution. However, she did note that a 4-wheeler would have more storage space.

With the superb manoeuvrability that this fun lovin' 3-wheeler offers it is ideal for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out to the test and found it could navigate grass, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily. It also was able to take on the kerbs in town, because the seat sling made of fabric is perfectly positioned within 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 and stretch' tyre which gives a smooth ride. The only downside of the huge wheels is that it might be difficult to fit into more compact spaces when folded. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage features to make up for this! It has a large basket and a rear zip up pocket.
