3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel strollers that fit all ages whether you're looking for a jogging stoller or a stroller for all-purpose use on a daily basis. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry tested these models to the test on both pavement and off-road surfaces. They also tested the seating comfort for children.

Stroller Features

The top strollers come with features that make traveling with your baby more enjoyable. Look for features that simplify life for you, like a large bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, a movable canopy, and more when looking for the latest stroller. The key is determining what features are non-negotiable for you and your family, and which ones you can be content with.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It has many useful features that will keep parents content and comfortable. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller doesn't slide away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade of all the strollers we tested and a clear window at the top allows children to see out when they're resting. Jenni's double buggy 3 wheels-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable padding, which meant bumps in the road didn't cause any discomfort for him.

This jogging stoller features a handbrake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds to a slim, compact package that takes up very little space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system using the best infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex with the purchase of an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you plan on tackling rough terrains, solid tires are essential for any stroller. While they don't provide the same level of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're ideal for navigating bumps and potholes easily.

The jogging stroller folds in just two steps. It locks in place when folded and is Compact 3 Wheel Stroller enough to fit into most elevators. However, it's not as easy to maneuver as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism to lock it is a bit confusing. It involves clicking an icon on the front of the stroller, opening a flap that is located near the foot area, and then raising a handle. We'd like to see a more simple system that simply clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight is a significant consideration. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and may offer more performance on rough terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller easier to maneuver and more suitable for everyday use.

The shape and size of the wheels is another important aspect. Some strollers, such as ones that jog, have larger wheels that can offer a more comfortable ride for baby. Larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it more difficult to fold, transport and store.

Some models in our selection come with air-filled tires, which are designed to offer a safe and comfortable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are more prone to flattening, so you have to replace them. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can withstand frequent contact with various surfaces and last for a longer time.

Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are ideal for safely navigating escalators as well as stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent injuries to strollers. They can be particularly dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid taking the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we suggest using it only when your child is safely strapped into the seat and is close to you when walking up or down.

Some strollers are sold as an entire travel system in which the car seat and stroller are sold as a single unit. While these products often boast attractive price tags and provide convenience in terms of cutting down on shopping time, they are generally more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not function as well in the long haul. Many parents regret buying bundles because they may not have all the features they would like or may not be compatible with their child's car seat or. We suggest you select a stroller that is purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you wish to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future.

Stroller Folding

The top 3 wheel parent facing pushchair wheel compact strollers fold quickly and easily to make transport and storage a breeze. Some locks automatically lock into place when you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who frequently take public transportation or drive before going on an outing.

Three-wheeled strollers are able to maneuver easily in tight spaces, like grocery store aisles or other areas with a lot of people. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that give a more comfortable ride for your baby, which can be especially helpful on bumpy sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a lightweight stroller for jogging. It's a stylish stroller that can also be used as part of a travel set-up with matching car seat adapters to fit Nuna, MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats as well as the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller folds in two steps and locks in place once opened.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another attractive 3 wheel pushchair off road-wheeled jogging stroller with a nice design. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if you travel often or live in a city. The lightweight stroller folds down to a small size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and features a padded, adjustable five-point harness with no-rethread straps and an ample basket. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants and toddlers, if you have an infant car seat adapter.

While the Babyzen comes with some nice features, including a roomy recline and extra storage space, certain parents have been dissatisfied with its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when reclined and there's no cupholders or snack trays for kids. The brakes can also be a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars are too high for some moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as possible without skimping on comfort or ease of use. It's equipped with a lengthy list of impressive features like a huge basket and a one handed fold. The only drawback to this stroller is that the brakes are a little difficult to activate, and they're not locking when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller must ensure that your child is safe using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness with adjustable and cushioned crotch straps. This allows for a custom fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to protect your child's head should they fall from the seat or roll off. Some strollers have the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is particularly important for those who run, since it prevents them from tumbling over while walking up and down stairs and escalators.

In our tests, we evaluated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: the product's ability to rotate and bounce over bumps and dips, its ability to maneuver when loaded with a child and its ability to maneuver over rough surfaces. We also assessed how easy it was to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest the height of the handlebar, operate the brakes, and attach and take off car seats (if appropriate).

We discovered that strollers with three wheels were more maneuverable however the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. That's why we recommend choosing the model with a hand brake that helps you slow down and stop without as much effort as relying on body power alone. However, the majority of top-scoring swivel wheel strollers do not offer this feature and only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel models comes with it.

It's important to consider the frequency that you will have to take your stroller up the stairs or an escalator and whether or not it's safe to do this with the stroller in the same place. Stairs and elevators are more dangerous because they have moving mechanical components that make it difficult for you to control your stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these obstacles, like an elevator, if possible or have another adult carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers are able to be pushed up a set of stairs or an escalator with their safety brakes engaged and locked however it's better to be safer than sorry.
