Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled vehicle is a great choice for those who enjoy a morning run. They are equipped with larger wheels, which provide a smoother ride however, they are heavier to store and require a larger car boot.
Anyone who wants to use their pushchair for outdoor walks should consider models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic) - they cope well on rough terrain and have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheel buggy is a ideal choice for off-roading, or for navigating around town. They are simple to maneuver and can turn on a dime and have passed all tests of stability. The sling seat made of fabric is positioned snugly inside the frame and not on top of modular seats. This results in lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even has a world first: sport verso(tm) which is a three wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from a parent's face infant carrier to toddler ride-on boards.
Are you planning to get off the road?
It's crucial for those who want to go off-road and are more adventurous that their buggy is able to take on rough terrain. You need a sturdy suspension system to take the impact of bumps, and big wheels with air-filled tyres to offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A front wheel that locks is also a wonderful feature to ensure stability while running on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun lovin' buggy to the test while driving it through rough grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with her newborn and three year old. She said "it handled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog in with. The 16" rear wheels and locking "swivel" front wheel provide the perfect stability for off-road tracks or uneven surfaces. The tyres are also equipped with springs that are built-in to guarantee the smoothest ride.
The sport verso is a fantastic single buggy that will future proof your wallet as it easily adapts to take 2 (or more!) Once your family grows, you can still use the same buggy. The sling seats made of fabric are set snugly inside the frame at a perfect height to evenly distribute weight. This allows for an easier push and a less hefty curb-pop.

A 3-wheel buggy has one front wheel and two wheels at the rear and, depending on the model, the wheel will either be free to swivel or locked in place so that the buggy only moves 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 handy for tricky terrain) and air-filled tyres to ensure the ride is smooth and comfortable. This means they are ideal for daily use in the city and are usually capable of handling kerb popping as well as being capable of driving off road as well.
Like any buggy, it is essential to drive with a sense of responsibility and not be distracted by your smartphone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol as it could affect your judgment and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy once it is folded in order to ensure that it can fit inside your vehicle.
If you're seeking a buggy to take you from the parks to the shops, then you should look for one with a big shopping basket, a strong brake pedal, and a huge sun canopy (50plus inches in size) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the fabric sling seat which has an automatic lie flat mattress for infants. She also found the seat to be placed precisely within the frame to ensure good weight distribution - but she also noted that the triangular shape of the frame is not the storage space of the four wheeler.

With the superb manoeuvrability that this fun lovin' 3-wheeler offers, it is perfect for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath tested it and found that it could navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles with ease. It also did well with the kerb pops around town too, as the sling seat is tucked perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height for the best weight distribution. It is able to easily push and lift it over them.
This buggy can also be used to jog, as it has lockable swivel wheels on the front, and a'snug and stretch' tyre which gives an easy ride. The only downside to the large wheels is that they may struggle to fit into some more compact spaces when folded. It's got many impressive storage features that can make up for it! There's a huge basket and an open pocket that zips up on the back.
