Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A
three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggy is a great option for those who like a morning run. They are equipped with larger wheels, which provide a smoother drive, but they are heavier and require a larger car boot.
If you want to use 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 a front wheel that can lock for more stability.
What is a
3 wheeler buggy?
A
best lightweight 3 wheel stroller-wheeled buggy is a great option for off-roading or navigating around town. They are able to turn at any time and are light in handling and have passed the stringent tests for stability. A fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame, rather than on top of it like modular seats - this design has a lower center of gravity to allow for more comfortable pushing and lighter curb pops (you don't have to put as much weight or effort into launching your buggy off the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) even comes with a world first sports verso(tm) with a
twin 3 wheel stroller wheelin' 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"?
If you want to go on adventures and get off the beaten track it's essential that your buggy is able to cope with rough terrain. You need a good suspension to absorb bumps, and large wheels with air filled tires for a good grip on difficult terrain. A front wheel that locks is also a great feature for stability when jogging on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it over rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her baby, and she said that "it was able to tackle all of these easily and was enjoyable to jog on." The rear wheels are 16 inches 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 a smooth ride."
Sport verso is another world first. It's a brilliant single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to accommodate two (or more!) When your family grows, you'll be able to use the same buggy. The sling seats made of fabric are placed snugly inside the frame at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly. This makes for an easier push and a more comfortable curb-pop.
Are you looking to 'go out and about'?
A 3 wheel buggy will have a single front wheel and two wheels at the back and, depending on the model, the wheel will be swivel freely or locked in place to ensure 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 can be useful in difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres to ensure the ride is smooth and comfortable. This means they are perfect for everyday use in the city and are usually equipped to handle kerb pops, as well as being able to go off road as well.
As with any buggy, it's crucial to drive it safely and to not be distracted by tablets, mobile phones or any other gadget. Avoid driving when you are under the effects of alcohol or drugs as it could alter your judgment and reaction time. Examine the footprint of your buggy after it is fully folded to ensure that it can fit inside your vehicle.
If you are looking for an infant stroller that can take you from the park to shops then make sure you choose one with an ample 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 fabric sling seat which has an automatic lie flat bed for newborns, and felt that the seating was placed precisely within the frame to ensure an even weight distribution. However, she noted that the triangular frame is not the storage space of the four wheeler.

With the superb manoeuvrability that this fun lovin'
3 wheel stroller reversible seat-wheeler has to offer it is ideal for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath test drove it and discovered that it was able to navigate through bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles effortlessly. It was also able to navigate the city's kerbs because the seat sling made of fabric is positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight.
This model is great for jogging too as it can be fitted with lockable swivel wheels on the front and a'snug and stretch' tyre which gives an extremely smooth ride while you're running around the streets. The only drawback with the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold down into smaller spaces. Luckily it has some pretty impressive storage options to make up for this! There's a large basket and an opening pocket with zips on the back.
