Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you love an early morning run, the three-wheeled buggy could be the best option for you. They have larger wheels which offer a smoother and more comfortable ride, however, they are heavier to store and require a larger car boot.
If you want to use your pushchair for outdoor walks, consider models with air-filled tires (also known as 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 excellent choice for off-roading or for navigating around town. They turn on a dime and are easy to handle and pass the rigorous tests of stability. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design results in a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with the first of its kind sports verso(tm) with a 3 wheeled inline chassis that grows with your family - from the face of your infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you planning to go 'off road'?
For those who like to be more adventurous and go away from the main roads, it's important that your vehicle can cope with rough terrain. You'll need a reliable suspension system to absorb bumps, and large wheels with air-filled tyres to offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A lockable wheel on the front is also an excellent feature to ensure stability when running on rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test by driving it over rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her infant and 3 year old. She said "it handled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog on. The rear wheels are 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front give great stability when tackling off road paths or uneven surfaces, and the tyres have built-in suspension for smooth riding."
3 wheel buggy is a world-first. It's a fantastic single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to take two (or more!) When your family expands, you can use the same buggy. The fabric sling seat fits snugly inside the frame, at the ideal height to ensure a optimal weight distribution, immediately giving you a much more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop, and a more efficient mobility on any terrain.
Do you want to travel 'around town Are you looking to explore the city
A three-wheeler will have a single front wheel and two wheels at the back and, based on the model, the wheel can either be free to swivel or locked in place so that the buggy only travels in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and often come with suspension (which can be useful in tricky terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in town and are usually capable of handling the popping of kerbs as well as being able to go off road as well.
As with any buggy it is important to drive safely and not to be distracted by your smartphone, tablet, or other device. Avoid driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs as it could affect your judgment and reaction time. Be sure to check the footprint of your buggy when it is folded in order to ensure that it can fit in your car.
If you are looking for a buggy that can transport you from the park to shops, look for one that has large shopping baskets and great features like a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that will stop on a slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling in fabric that has an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns. She also thought the seating was placed perfectly within the frame to ensure proper weight distribution. However, she did note that a four-wheeler has more storage space.

This 3-wheeler is perfect for urban adventures, too, thanks to its superb maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath test drove it and discovered that it could traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles without difficulty. It was also able to handle the kerbs in town, since the seat sling is placed snugly inside the frame at the ideal height for weight distribution.
The buggy can also be used to jog, because it comes with locks on the swivel wheels at the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre which gives an easy ride. The only downside with the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. It's got several impressive storage options that are worth it! - including a huge basket and a zip-up rear pocket.
