Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
If you are a fan of running in the morning, an e-bike with three wheels could be a good option for you. They come with larger wheels that give the ride with more comfort, however they are heavier and require a larger car boot.
If you're planning to take your pushchair on outdoor walks you should consider models that have air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They are able to be used on rough terrain and come with a an front wheel that can lock to provide greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is excellent choice for off-roading or just navigating the city. They are simple to maneuver and change direction on the fly, passing all stability tests. The fabric sling seat is placed snugly within the frame, not on top of modular seats. This design results in lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push your buggy. Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with a world first sports verso(tm) which is a three wheelin' inline chassis that grows with your family - from parent face infant carrier to toddler ride-on board.
Are you thinking of going "off-road"?
It's crucial for those who want to travel off-road and are more adventurous than their buggy can take on rough terrain. 3 wheeled pushchair 'll need a suspension that's strong enough to absorb bumps and large wheels with air-filled tires for a good grip on difficult terrain. A lockable wheel on the front is an excellent feature to ensure stability while jogging over rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test when driving it through rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her newborn and three year old. She said "it tackled everything with ease and was even enjoyable to jog in with. The 16'' rear wheels and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front offer great stability when working off road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres have built-in suspension for smooth riding."
Sport verso is another world first. It's a fantastic single buggy, but it is easily adapted to accommodate two (or more!) as your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The sling seat is made of fabric and fits snugly inside the frame, at the right height to ensure a optimal weight distribution, immediately delivering a much easier push, a lighter curb pop and better ability to maneuver over any terrain.
Do you want to travel 'around town'?
A 3 wheel buggy will have one wheel in front and two wheels at the back and, depending on the model, the wheel will either be free to swivel or fixed in position so that the buggy moves in straight lines. Their USP is that they are extremely maneuverable and easy to steer, and they will often come with suspension (which is useful for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres to ensure the ride is soft and comfortable. They are perfect for daily use in the city and can often handle kerb popping as well as going off road.
However, as with 3 wheel pushchair , it's essential to drive responsibly and not be distracted by tablets, mobile phones or other device. It is also essential to avoid driving whilst feeling under the influence of drugs or alcohol as this can affect your reaction times and judgment. Be sure to check the footprint of your buggy after it is folded in order to ensure that it will fit into your vehicle.
If you are seeking a buggy to transport you from the park to the shops, you should choose one that has a large shopping basket, a robust brake pedal, and a large sun canopy (50+ inches in diameter) with an extendable pole. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat made of fabric that features an automatic lie-flat bed for newborns, and found the seat to be placed perfectly within the frame for an even weight distribution. However, she noted that the triangular frame does mean half the storage space of the four wheeler.

This 3-wheeler is perfect for urban adventures due to its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath test drove it and discovered that it was able to navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles effortlessly. It also performed well on the kerb poppings around town too, as the sling seat is tucked snugly inside the frame and at the perfect height to allow for the best weight distribution to effortlessly move and lift them.
This buggy is ideal for jogging, since it is equipped with lockable swivel wheels on the front and comes with a "snug & stretch' tyre that provides a really smooth ride when you're pounding the pavement. The only downside to the large wheels is it isn't easy to fold down into smaller spaces. It's got some impressive storage features that can make up for it! There's a large basket and an opening pocket with zips at the back.
