What is a three-wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheeled buggy is a great option for off-roading or just navigating the city. 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 is snug inside the frame, instead of sitting over it like modular seats. This design delivers in a lower center of gravity for easier pushing and less slams on curbs (you don't need to put any effort or weight into popping your buggy over the curb). Mountain Buggy(r) is a world-first design: sport verso(tm), which is a three-wheeled inline chassis. It can be used as a baby carrier with a parent's view or a toddler ride-onboard.
Are you planning to go 'off road'?
For those that like to go on adventures and get off the beaten path it's essential that your buggy can handle rough terrain. You need a sturdy suspension system that can absorb bumps and large wheels with air-filled tyres to offer great grip on difficult surfaces. A front wheel that locks is also a great option for stability when running on rougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test by driving it over rough cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with her newborn and three year old, and said "it handled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog with. The rear wheels of 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front provide great stability when you're tackling off road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres are equipped with suspension to ensure an easy ride."
Sport verso is another world first. It's a fantastic single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to take two (or more!) when your family grows all within the footprint of one buggy! The sling seats made of fabric are positioned snugly within the frame at the perfect height to distribute weight evenly. This allows for an easier push and a less hefty curb-pop.
Are you looking to 'go out and about Do you want to 'go around town'?
A 3 wheel buggy includes a single wheel in the front and two wheels at the rear. The model you choose will determine the wheel can be free to rotate or it can be locked, so that the buggy can only travel in straight lines. They are easy to drive and manoeuvre, and typically have air-filled tyres and suspension to provide comfortable riding. This means they are ideal for daily use around town, and will often be able to cope with the popping of kerbs and also be capable of driving off-road too.
Like any buggy, it is important to drive safely and avoid being distracted by your smartphone, tablet or other device. Avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs because it can influence your judgement and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy once it is folded completely to ensure that it can fit inside your vehicle.
If you are looking for a buggy that will take you from the park to the shops, make sure you choose one with an ample shopping basket and great features like a padded handle, strong brake pedal (that will stop when you hit the slope) and a huge and extendable 50+ sun canopy. MFM reviewer Kath loved the sling made of fabric that has an automatic lie-flat mattress for newborns. She also thought the seating was perfectly placed within the frame to ensure good weight distribution. However, she did note that a 4-wheeler could have more storage space.
Do you want to go 'in the park'?
This 3-wheeler is ideal for urban adventures, too, thanks to its incredible maneuverability. MFM reviewer Kath tried it out and found that it was able to navigate grass, bumpy sidewalks and cobbles without difficulty. It was also able to navigate the kerbs in town, since the seat sling is placed snugly inside the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight.
The buggy can also be used for jogging, since it has lockable swivel wheels on the front and a'snug and stretch' tyre, which provides an easy ride. The only downside to the large wheels is it can be difficult to fold down into smaller spaces. Luckily it has some pretty impressive storage features to compensate for this! There's a large basket and an opening pocket with zips in the back.
