Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled vehicle is a great option for those who like an early morning run. They are equipped with larger wheels, which provide a smoother drive, but they can be heavier and require a bigger boot.
If you plan to take your pushchair for outdoor walks look into models with air-filled tires (also known by the name pneumatic). They are able to handle rough terrain and have an front wheel that can be locked to ensure more stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is a great option for off-roading or just navigating the city. They can turn at a moment's notice and are easy to maneuver and have passed the stringent tests for stability. The fabric sling seat is set in a snug place inside the frame and not on top of modular seats. This design results in having a lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even has an original design 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 board.
Are you planning to go "off-road"?
It is crucial for those who love to travel off-road and are more adventurous that their buggy can handle rough terrain. You require a sturdy suspension to absorb bumps and large wheels with air filled tyres for great grip on rough terrain. A lockable wheel on the front is also an excellent option for stability while jogging over rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test when driving it over rough cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with her newborn and three year old. She also she said "it tackled everything with ease, and was even pleasant to jog with. The 16'' rear wheels and lockable'swivel' front wheel give great stability when tackling off road paths or uneven surfaces, and the tyres have built-in suspension for an easy ride."
Sport verso is a new world-first. It's an amazing single buggy, but it can easily be modified to take two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame at the right height to ensure a perfect weight distribution, instantly delivering a much easier push, a lighter curb pop and better mobility across any terrain.

A three-wheeler will have one wheel in front and two wheels in the back and, depending on the model, the wheel will either be free to swivel or fixed in position 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 useful in tricky terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are great for everyday use in cities and are often able to handle kerb-popping and taking off road.
As with any buggy it is important to drive responsibly and not be distracted by your smartphone, tablet or other device. It is also crucial to avoid driving if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs as it can alter your reaction time and judgment. If you do have an automobile boot to store your buggy, be sure to check the size of its footprint when it is fully folded to ensure it will fit inside your car.
If you are looking for a buggy that can take you from the parks to the shops, you should choose one that has a large shopping basket, a sturdy brake pedal, and a huge sun canopy (50plus inches in size) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat in fabric, which includes an automatic lie flat bed for newborns, and found the seat to be placed perfectly within the frame for good weight distribution - but noted that the triangular frame has half as much storage space as the 4 wheeler.

This 3-wheeler is perfect for urban adventures, too, thanks to its amazing maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out and found that it was able to traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles with ease. It also coped well with the kerb pops around town, since the seat of the fabric sits perfectly inside the frame at just the right height to allow for the best weight distribution. pushchairsandpramsuk can easily move and lift them.
This model is great for jogging, because it comes with lockable swivel front wheels and comes with a "snug & stretch' tyre that provides an extremely smooth ride while you're running around the streets. The only drawback to the big wheels is that it can be difficult to fold into smaller spaces. It comes with several impressive storage options that make up for it! There's a large basket and a zip-up pocket in the back.
