Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled vehicle is a fantastic option for those who enjoy an early morning run. They come with larger wheels that provide an easier ride, however they can be heavier and require a bigger boot.
If you're planning to take your pushchair for outdoor walks look into models with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic). They are able to be used on rough terrain and come with a a front wheel that can lock to provide greater stability.
What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheel buggy is a great option for off-roading or for navigating around town. They are easy to handle and change direction on the fly, passing all tests of stability. A fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame as opposed to on top of it like modular seats - this design provides a lower center of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and lighter curb pops (you don't have to put the same amount of weight or effort into popping your buggy over the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) comes with the first of its kind: sport verso(tm), which is a 3-wheelin' inline chassis. It can be used as a child-facing infant carrier or a toddler ride-onboard.
Are you planning to go "off-road"?
If you want to go on adventures and get away from the main roads it's essential that your buggy can be able to handle rough terrain. You'll need a reliable suspension system to absorb bumps and large wheels that have air-filled tyres that offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A front wheel that locks is also a great feature to ensure stability while running on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it across rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her newborn and said that "it was able to tackle all of these with ease and was a pleasure to jog on." The rear wheels of 16 inches and lockable'swivel' front wheel offer great stability when working off-road paths or uneven surfaces, and the tyres come with a suspension built-in for an easy ride."
Sport verso is a new world first. 3 wheeled pushchair 's an amazing single buggy, but it can easily be modified to accommodate two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seats are positioned snugly within the frame at the perfect height to evenly distribute weight. This makes for a much easier push and a more comfortable curb-pop.
Want to 'go around town Are you looking to explore the city
A 3 wheel buggy has one wheel in front and two wheels at the back and, based on the model, the wheel can be swivel freely or fixed in position 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 difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres to ensure the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in the city and are often able to handle kerb-popping as well as driving off-road.
As with any buggy, it is essential to drive responsibly and not be distracted by a mobile phone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol as this can alter your judgment and reaction time. If you do have an automobile boot to store your buggy, make sure you check the dimensions of its footprint when it is fully folded to ensure that it can fit in your vehicle.
If you want an infant stroller that can take you from the park to the shops, make sure you choose one with a spacious shopping basket and good features such as a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that can stop when it hits the slope) and a huge, extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat in fabric, which has an automatic lie flat mattress for infants. She also felt the seating was positioned precisely within the frame to ensure an even weight distribution. However, she she also noted that the triangular shape of the frame does mean half the storage capacity of the 4 wheeler.

This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures due to its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out to the test and found it was able to navigate cobbles and bumpy pavements easily. It also did well with the kerb poppings around town, because the fabric sling seat sits perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height for the most effective weight distribution to effortlessly push and lift over them.
This buggy can also be used to jog, as it has locks on the swivel wheels at the front, and a'snug and stretch' tyre which gives an easy ride. The only downside with the large wheels is it isn't easy to fold down into smaller spaces. It comes with some impressive storage features that can make up for it! - including a huge basket and a zip-up rear pocket.
