10 Things That Your Family Taught You About 3 Wheeler Buggy

Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?

A three-wheeled vehicle is a great option for those who enjoy a morning run. They come with larger wheels, which provide an easier ride, however they can be bulkier and require a bigger boot.

Those wanting to use their pushchair for outdoor walks should consider models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic) as they are more able to withstand the rigors on rough terrain and have the front wheel swivelling, which can be locked for better stability.

What is a 3 wheeler buggy?

Whether you're going off-road or in the city, a 3-wheel buggy offers greater maneuverability. They are easy to handle and turn on a dime and have passed all tests of stability. A fabric sling seat is comfortably inside the frame as opposed to over it like modular seats - this design delivers in a lower center of gravity for easier pushing and less curb pops (you don't need to put the same amount of weight or effort to push your buggy over the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even has the first of its kind sport verso(tm), a 3 wheel push chair wheeled inline chassis that expands with your family - from a parent's face infant carrier to toddler ride-on boards.

Are you thinking of going "off-road"?

For those that like to be adventurous and go away from the main roads it's essential that your buggy is able to cope with rough terrain. You need a sturdy suspension system that can take the impact of bumps, and big wheels with air-filled tyres to give you a great grip on rough surfaces. A lockable front wheel is also a great option for stability when 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 newborn and three year old, and said "it tackled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog with. The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel provide excellent stability on off-road trails or uneven surfaces. The tyres also have springs that are built-in to guarantee a smooth ride.

A first in the world; sport verso is an amazing single buggy that will protect your wallet in the future because it can easily take 2 (or more!) Once your family grows, you'll be able to use the same buggy. The fabric sling seats are placed snugly inside the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly. This enables a much easier push and a less hefty curb-pop.

Want to 'go around town Are you looking to explore the city

A 3 wheel buggy will have one wheel in front and two wheels at the rear and, depending on the model, the wheel will be free to rotate or locked in place so that the buggy moves in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and often come with suspension (which is useful for tricky terrain) and air-filled tyres to ensure the ride is soft and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in the city and are often equipped to handle kerb popping and also be capable of going off-road too.

However, just like any buggy, it's essential to drive responsibly and not be distracted by a mobile phone, tablet or other electronic device. It is also crucial to avoid driving whilst feeling under the influence of alcohol or drugs since this could influence your reaction times and judgment. Examine the footprint of your buggy after it is folded completely to ensure it will fit in your car.

If you are looking for a buggy that will transport you from the park to the shops, then you should look for one that has large shopping baskets and great features like a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that will stop when you hit an upward slope) and a large expandable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly liked the sling seat in fabric, which includes an automatic lie flat bed for newborns, and felt that the seating was placed perfectly within the frame for good weight distribution - but she also noted that the triangular shape of the frame does mean half as much storage space as the 4 wheeler.

Want to go 'into the park'

This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures because of its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out to the test and discovered it navigated grass, bumpy pavements and cobbles very easily. It also was able to take on the kerbs in town, as the fabric seat sling is positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight.

This buggy can also be used for jogging, since it has locks on the swivel wheels at the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre, which provides smooth riding. The only drawback of the large wheels is that they may struggle to fit into smaller spaces when folded. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage features to make up for this! There's a large basket and an open pocket that zips up in the back.
