What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheel buggy is a great option for off-roading or for navigating around town. 3 wheel pushchair are simple to maneuver and change direction on the fly, passing all stability tests. A fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame instead of sitting being placed on top of it as modular seats - this design delivers in lower center of gravity, which makes it easier to push and less curb pops (you don't have to put the same amount of weight or effort into launching your buggy off the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) is a world-first sport verso(tm) that is a three-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a child-facing infant carrier or a toddler ride-onboard.
Are you going to get off the road?
For those who like to be more adventurous and go off the beaten track it's essential that your buggy is able to handle rough terrain. You require a sturdy suspension to absorb bumps, and large wheels that have air filled tyres for great grip on difficult terrain. A lockable wheel in the front is an excellent feature for stability when running on rough surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to ultimate test by driving it through rough dirt tracks, cobbles, and grass with her newborn and said that "it tackled all of these easily and was pleasant to run around in." The rear wheels are 16 inches and lockable'swivel' front wheel provide great stability when you're tackling off-road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres have built-in suspension for smooth riding."
Sport verso is another world first. It's an amazing single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to accommodate two (or more!) as your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The fabric sling seat fits comfortably inside the frame at the ideal height for perfect weight distribution, instantly providing a more easy push, a less hefty curb pop and better maneuverability on any terrain.
Are you looking to 'go out and about Are you looking to explore the city
A three-wheeler is a vehicle with a single wheel at the front and two wheels in the rear. Depending on the model the wheel is free to rotate or can be locked so that the buggy can only be driven in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer, and they will often come with suspension (which can be handy for difficult terrain) and air-filled tyres so the ride is smooth and comfortable. They are ideal for everyday use in the city and can often handle kerb-popping as well as driving off-road.
However, just like any buggy, it is important to drive them responsibly and not be distracted by the mobile phone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs as it could affect your judgment and reaction time. Examine the footprint of your buggy when it is fully folded to ensure it will fit inside your vehicle.
If you are looking for a buggy that can transport you from the park to the shops, then you should look for one with an ample shopping basket and good features such as an upholstered handle, a strong brake pedal (that will stop on the slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath particularly enjoyed the sling seat made of fabric that features an automatic lie-flat mattress for infants. She also found the seat to be 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 4 wheeler.
Want to go 'into the park'
With the amazing maneuverability this fun lovin' 3-wheeler has to offer, it is perfect for urban adventures too. MFM reviewer Kath test drove it and discovered that it could traverse bumpy sidewalks, grass and cobbles with ease. It also did well with the kerb pops that happen around town, since the fabric sling seat sits snugly inside the frame and at the perfect height for the best weight distribution. It is able to easily push and lift over them.
This buggy can also be used to jog, since it has lockable swivel wheels on the front and a'snug & stretch' tyre, which provides a smooth ride. The only drawback with the large wheels is it isn't easy to fold into smaller spaces. Luckily, it comes with impressive storage options to make up for this! The basket is huge and a zip-up rear pocket.
