Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you are a fan of a morning jog an e-bike with three wheels could be a good choice for you. They come with larger wheels that give an easier ride, however they are heavier and require a larger car boot.
Those wanting to use their pushchair on outdoor walks should look at models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic) - they cope well on rough terrain and have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked for greater stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
Whether 3 wheel travel system pushchairsandprams going off-road or in the city, a 3-wheel buggy offers the best maneuverability. They are able to turn at any time and are light in handling and pass the rigorous tests of stability. A fabric sling seat is in the frame with a comfortable fit, rather than being placed on top of it as modular seats - this design delivers in a lower centre of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and less curb pops (you do not have to put the same amount of weight or effort to push your buggy over a curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with a world first sport verso(tm) which is a three wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from parent face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you planning to get off the road?
For those that like to be more adventurous and go off the beaten path it's essential that your vehicle can cope with rough terrain. You need a good suspension to absorb bumps and large wheels with air filled tyres to ensure a great grip on difficult terrain. A lockable front wheel is also a great feature for stability when jogging on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles, and grass with her infant, and she said that "it was able to tackle all of these easily and was a pleasure to jog in." The rear wheels are 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' front wheels offer great stability when working roadsides or uneven surfaces. The tyres are equipped with suspension to ensure smooth riding."
The sport verso is an amazing single buggy that can protect your wallet in the future because it can easily take two (or more!) If your family expands, you can use the same buggy. The fabric sling seats are positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height to evenly distribute weight. This makes for a much easier push and a less hefty curb-pop.
Do you want to travel 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A three-wheeler will have one front wheel and two wheels in the back and, based on the model, the wheel will be swivel freely or fixed in position so that the buggy only travels in straight lines. Their USP is that they are extremely maneuverable and easy to steer and often come with suspension (which can be useful in tricky terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is soft and comfortable. They are perfect for daily use in the city and can often handle kerb popping as well as going off road.
As with any buggy, it is essential to drive responsibly and 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 this could affect your reaction times and judgment. Be sure to check the footprint of your buggy once it is fully folded to ensure that it will fit into your vehicle.
If you are looking for an infant stroller that can take you from the park to shops, look for one with a spacious shopping basket and great features like an upholstered handle, a strong brake pedal (that can stop when it hits an upward slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath liked the fabric sling with an automatic lie-flat bed designed for newborns. She also thought the seating was positioned perfectly within the frame to ensure good weight distribution. However, she noted that a four-wheeler has more storage space.

This 3-wheeler is perfect for urban adventures, too, thanks to its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath put it to the test and found it was able to navigate cobbles, and bumpy pavements easily. It also coped well with the kerb poppings around town too, as the fabric sling seat sits snugly inside the frame and at just the right height to allow for the best weight distribution. It can easily push and lift over 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 and stretch' tyre, which provides a smooth ride. The only downside to the large wheels is it may be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. It does have some impressive storage features to make up for this! There's a large basket as well as an opening pocket with zips on the back.
