3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel compact strollers for everyone, whether you're seeking a jogging stoller or a stroller that you can use every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry The models were put to the test on both road surfaces and off-road ones. They also tested the comfort of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that allow you to travel with your little one more enjoyable. Whether you're shopping for a brand new 3 wheel stroller brands-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for features that make life easier, such as an ample storage basket as well as a tray for the parent with cup holders, adjustable canopy, and more. It's important to know which features are essential for you and your family and which you can do without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with plenty of convenient features to keep moms and dads content and comfortable. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all sizes and the wrist strap helps ensure that the stroller doesn't slide away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder also comes with the largest sunshade that we tested and has a large, clear window up top to let kids peek out while they're resting. And Jenni's 3 wheel buggy-year-old found the seat to be comfortably padded, so bumps in the road don't make him feel too shaken.

This stroller for jogging also comes with a hand brake that helps you keep control on slippery surfaces. It can fold into a slim, compact package that will take up little space in your car's trunk. It is also possible to convert it to a travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

Solid tires are essential for strollers that will be used on rough terrains. While they don't provide the same degree of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're perfect to navigate potholes and bumps with ease.

The jogging stroller folds in just two simple steps. It locks in place when folded, and it's compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. It's not as easy as our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism is somewhat difficult to understand. It involves pressing a button near the foot area at the front of stroller and then lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler system that just clicks in place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is an important consideration. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than one that is lighter and can provide superior performance in rough terrain. However, many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and more suitable for everyday use.

Another important feature of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as those for jogging which makes the ride easier for your baby. However, larger wheels also add to the overall weight of the stroller which can make it more difficult to fold or transport and store.

Some models in our selection come with air-filled wheels, which provide a comfortable, stable ride to your child even on rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can easily get flat which will require you to swap them out. If you are planning to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can withstand regular contact with various 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 stroller injuries. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you can't avoid using the escalator or stairs while using your stroller, we recommend that you only use it when your child is secured in the seat. Also, keep them close to you when you go up or down.

Some strollers are a travel system which includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. These types of products are usually more expensive and commodious than their separate counterparts and could not last in the long-term. Many parents regret buying bundles because they might not include all the features they would like or be incompatible with their car or child's seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you want to upgrade to a more advanced model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The best 3 wheel running buggy wheel strollers with a compact size are easy to fold and to store. Some of them lock automatically when you open them. This feature can be especially beneficial for families who regularly use public transportation or drive before going on an outing.

Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed effortlessly in tight spaces, such as grocery store aisles or other crowded areas. They are often equipped with suspension systems to provide an easier ride. This is especially useful on bumpy sidewalks.

If you're seeking a jogging stroller that doesn't weigh you down the Guava Roam Crossover is a good alternative. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as part of a travel set-up with car seat adapters to fit Nuna MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats, as well as the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller features simple two-step fold, and locks into place once opened.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another nice-looking 3 wheel baby buggy-wheeled jogging stroller. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if you travel a lot or live in a city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a compact 20 17x7 inch size. It has five-point, no-rethread padded harness. It can even be used as a pram for infants or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

While the Babyzen has some nice features, like the spacious recline and the extra storage, some parents are dissatisfied with its performance. The seat isn't flat when it reclines and there's no cupholders or snack tray for children. The brakes can be difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for a lot of mothers who are short.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as it can without skimping on the comfort or convenience. It has a long list of impressive features, such as a large basket and a one handed fold. The only drawback is that the brakes may be difficult to engage and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller must keep your child safe while using it. Some of the best-scoring strollers we've reviewed have a five-point safety harness with adjustable and cushioned crotch straps. This allows for a customised fit. Some strollers have a padded cushion that shields your child's head if they roll off or fall out of their seat. Some strollers come with a safety lock that secures both wheels. This is especially important for jogging walkers, as they are less likely to fall over when going up and down escalators or stairs.

In our tests, the maneuverability of strollers was evaluated in three distinct ways. We scored it based on a product's ability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips occur, its ease of use with a child loaded and its capacity to navigate over rough terrain. We also evaluated the ease of opening and closing the safety harness folding and unfolding the stroller, adjusting the backrest and height of the handlebar, operating the brakes, as well as attaching and removing car seats (if necessary).

We found that some 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than the 4-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as your baby grows heavier. That's why we recommend choosing one with a hand brake that allows you to slow down and stop without as much effort than using your body alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this option. Only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel strollers has it.

It is important to think about how often you'll be required to use your stroller for going up or down escalators or stairs, and if it's safe to do this. Stairs and elevators can be more dangerous because they have moving mechanical components which make it difficult to control your stroller. If you can choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having a second adult help you carry the stroller. Some of the best-rated strollers can be carried up a set of stairs or a set with the safety brake engaged. However, it's better to be safe than regretting.
