3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel strollers designed for everyone whether you're looking for a jogging stroller 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 roads and off-road surfaces. They also tested the comfort of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that make traveling with your little one more comfortable. Find features that make life easier, such as a large bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, a movable canopy, and so on, when shopping for the latest stroller. It's important to determine the features that are important to you and your family and those you can live without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with a wide range of features to keep moms as well as dads comfortable and happy. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all sizes, and the wrist strap helps ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade we've seen in our test group and has a large, clear window on top that lets kids peek out while they're resting. Jenni's 3 wheeler stroller-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road won't cause him to shake.

The stroller is equipped with an automatic hand brake that can help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into a slim, compact 3 wheel double pushchair wheel stroller (their explanation) package that will take up little space in your car's trunk. You can also transform it into an entire travel system by buying an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

Solid tires are a must for strollers used on rough terrains. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're excellent to navigate bumps and potholes.

This stroller for jogging features a fold-up that takes just two steps. It locks into position when folded, and is compact enough to fit in the majority of elevators. It's not as simple as some of our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver, and the locking mechanism can be a bit confusing. It involves pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, opening a flap that is located near the foot area, and lifting a handle. We'd prefer a simpler method that just clicks in place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the overall stroller is an important factor to take into account. A heavier stroller is more stable and can perform better on rough terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver, and is more suitable for daily use.

The type and size of the wheels is another important aspect. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as jogging ones which can make the ride smoother for your baby. However, bigger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller, which makes it more difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Some models in our selection come with air-filled tires, which are designed to offer an enjoyable and stable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires could easily get flat which will require you to change them out. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend the use of tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last for a longer time.

Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common injuries to strollers. They can be especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the escalator or stairs with your stroller we suggest that you only use it if your child is safely strapped into the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you when you walk up and down.

Some strollers are a travel system that includes both the car seat and the stroller. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and provide convenience by reducing shopping time, they are generally more expensive than their standalone counterparts and might not perform in the long run. Many parents regret purchasing bundle products because they may not come with all the features they want or may not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We recommend you choose an infant stroller that can be purchased separately from a capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future.

Stroller Folding

The most compact 3 wheel strollers fold easily and store. Some locks automatically lock into place when you open them. This feature can be particularly beneficial for families that frequently use public transportation or drive prior to going for a a walk.

Three-wheeled strollers are able to maneuver easily in tight spaces like grocery store aisles or other crowded areas. They also have suspension systems that offer an easier ride for your baby and can be particularly helpful on bumpy sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a light stroller for jogging. It's a good-looking stroller that can be used as a travel system with the car seat adapters for Nuna Maxi-Cosi and Cybex infant carseats as well as the Uppababy bassinet (car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks into place after opening.

Another stylish 3 wheeler buggies-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. The stroller is more expensive than our top picks, but worth it if you travel frequently or live in a city. This stroller is lightweight and can be folded down to a small 20 17x7 inches size. It has a five-point, no-rethread, cushioned harness. It can be used as a stroller for newborns or toddlers who are young, with an adapter for infant car seats.

While the Babyzen comes with some nice features, such as a roomy recline and extra storage, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it reclines and there aren't cup holders or snack trays for kids. The brakes can also be a little difficult to engage and the handlebars are a bit high for some moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing comfort or ease of use. It has an impressive list of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes may be a bit difficult to engage and do not stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller must ensure your child's safety while using it. The top-scoring strollers we've reviewed have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable, cushioned straps for the crotch. This allows for a customized fit. Some strollers come with a padded cushion that protects your child's head should they fall off or roll out of their seat. Some strollers have safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for strollers that jog because it prevents them from flipping over when they're going up or down escalators or stairs, where they could be particularly dangerous for children.

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 ease of maneuvering when loaded with a child and its ability to maneuver over rough surfaces. We also assessed the ease of being able to open and close the safety harness fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest the height of the handlebar and brakes, and attach and take off car seats (if applicable).

We discovered that strollers with three wheels were easier to maneuver however, the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. That's why we recommend choosing the model with a hand brake that assists you in slowing down and stop with as little effort as using body power alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers do not have this feature. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it.

You should also consider how often you'll need to use your stroller for going up and down stairs or escalators, and if it's safe to do it. Escalators and stairs present more dangers because they move mechanical parts that make it difficult to control the movement of the stroller. If you're able to choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having another adult assist you in carrying the stroller. Some of the most highly-rated strollers can be taken onto a set of stairs or an escalator with their safety brakes engaged and locked, but it's always safer to be safe than sorry.
