What is a 3 wheeler buggy?
A 3-wheel buggy is a great option for off-roading or for navigating around town. They turn on a dime and are easy to handle and pass the rigorous tests of stability.

MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun-loving buggy to the test while driving it across rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her newborn and three year old. She she stated that "it handled everything with ease and was even pleasant to jog in with. 3 wheeler pushchairs and lockable "swivel" front wheel provide the perfect stability for off-road tracks or uneven surfaces. The tyres also have springs that are built-in to guarantee the smoothest ride.

A 3 wheel buggy has a single front wheel and two wheels in the back and, depending on the model, the wheel can be free to rotate or fixed in position to ensure that the buggy is able to travel in straight lines. Their USP is that they are incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to steer and they will often come with suspension (which is useful for tricky terrain) and tyres with air-filled tyres, so the ride is smooth and comfortable. This means they are ideal for daily use around town and are usually equipped to handle kerb pops, and also be able to go off road too.
As with any buggy it is important to drive with a sense of responsibility and not to be distracted by your smartphone, tablet or other device. It is also crucial to avoid driving when under the influence of alcohol or drugs as it can alter your reaction time and judgment. If you do have a car boot to store your buggy, make sure you check the dimensions of its footprint once it is fully folded to ensure that it can fit in your vehicle.
