Why Buy a 3 Wheeler Buggy?
A three-wheeled buggy is a fantastic option for those who enjoy a morning run. They come with larger wheels that give the ride with more comfort, however they can be heavier and require a larger car boot.
If you want to use your pushchair for outdoor walks should consider models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic) as they are more able to withstand the rigors on uneven ground and have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide greater stability.
What is a three-wheeler buggy?
No matter if you're driving off-road or in the city, a 3-wheel buggy offers greater maneuverability. They are easy to handle and turn on a dime and have passed all tests of stability. The sling seat made of fabric is positioned snugly inside the frame and not on top like modular seats. This design results in having a lower center of gravity, making it easier to push your buggy.

For those that like to be adventurous and go off the beaten track it's essential that your buggy is able to cope with rough terrain. You'll need a reliable suspension system to absorb bumps and large wheels that have air-filled tyres that provide excellent grip on rough surfaces. A front wheel that locks is also a great option for stability when running on tougher surfaces.
MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun lovin' buggy to the test by driving it across rough cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with her infant and 3 year old. She said "it tackled everything with ease and was even enjoyable to jog with. The 16" rear wheels and the lockable "swivel" front wheel provide great stability for off-road paths or surfaces that are uneven. The tyres are also equipped with springs built-in to ensure an easy ride.
Sport verso is another world first. It's a brilliant single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to accommodate two (or more!) Once your family grows, you'll be able to use the same buggy. The fabric sling seat sits perfectly inside the frame at the perfect height to ensure a optimal weight distribution. It is instantly providing a more easy push, a less hefty curb pop, and a more efficient mobility across any terrain.

A 3-wheel buggy will have a single front wheel and two wheels in the back and, based on the model, the wheel can be free to rotate or locked in place to ensure that the buggy moves in straight lines.

They are great for everyday use in the city and can often handle kerb popping as well as going off road.
Like any buggy, it is important to drive responsibly and avoid being distracted by your mobile phone, tablet, or other device. Avoid driving when you are under the effects of alcohol or drugs as this can alter your judgment and reaction time. Check the footprint of your buggy when it is folded completely to ensure it will fit into your vehicle.
