3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

If you're a fitness fanatic looking for a jogging stroller or just need a stroller to use for everyday use, there's a three-wheel compact stroller out there for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry, put these models to the test on pavement and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the comfort of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The top strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your child more convenient. Look for features that make life easier including a big storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy, and more when looking for the latest stroller. It's crucial to decide the features that are important to you and your family members and which you can do without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with plenty of convenient features to keep moms and dads happy and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all sizes, and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller won't roll away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder has the largest sunshade of all the strollers we tested, and a clear window at the top allows kids to peek out when they are resting. And Jenni's 3 wheel baby stroller-year-old found the seat to be comfortable cushioned, which means bumps on the road won't cause him to shake.

This jogging stoller features an automatic handbrake that helps you keep control on slippery surfaces. It can fold into a compact, slim package that takes up a small space in your car's trunk. It is also possible to transform it into a travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, sturdy tires are a must for strollers of any kind. While they don't offer the same level of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're ideal to navigate potholes and bumps with ease.

The stroller folds down in just two simple steps. It locks when folded and is small enough to fit into the majority of elevators. However it's not as easy to maneuver as some of our other 4-wheel strollers and the mechanism to lock it is a bit confusing. It involves pressing a button on the front of the stroller, opening a flap near the foot area, and then raising the handle. We'd like to see a more simple system that simply clicks into the position or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight is an important consideration. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than one that is lighter and can provide more performance on rough terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver, and more suitable for day-to-day use.

Another important aspect of a stroller is its wheel size and the type. Certain strollers, like those that run on jogging, have larger wheels that will provide a more comfortable ride for baby. However, bigger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller which can make it harder to fold or transport and store.

Some models in our selection include air-filled tires that are designed to provide 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 plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can stand up to frequent contact with different surfaces and last longer.

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-related injuries and can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator or stairs while using your stroller, we recommend that you only use it when the child is securely strapped in the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you while you walk up and down.

Some strollers are available as an entire travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold as a unit. While these products often boast attractive price tags and offer convenience in terms of cutting down on shopping time, they are generally more expensive than their standalone counterparts and may not perform as well over the long term. Many parents regret purchasing a bundle product because it may not have all the features they would like or may not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest that you purchase a stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a more advanced model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The best compact 3 wheel stroller travel system wheel stroller (try here) 3 wheel strollers fold easily and to store. Some even lock in the position automatically after you open them. This feature can be especially beneficial for families that frequently take public transportation or drive prior to taking a a walk.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to move through tight spaces such as aisles of grocery stores and other areas that are crowded with ease. Many are equipped with suspension systems for a smoother ride. This is especially useful on sidewalks that are bumpy.

The Guava Roam is a compact stroller for jogging. It's a good-looking stroller that can be used as a travel system, with the adapters for car seats for Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex infant carseats and the Uppababy bassinet (car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller features simple two-step fold, and locks into place once opened.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another stylish 3-wheeled jogging stroller that looks nice. It's a bit more expensive than our top picks, however it's worth the cost If you're a lover of travel or live in the city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a tiny 20 17x7 inch size. It comes with five-point, no-rethread padding on the harness. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants and toddlers, if you have an infant car seat adapter.

The Babyzen is a great product that has some great features. It has a spacious recline and has storage space. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied by its performance. The seat isn't completely flat when it's reclining, and there's no cup holders or a tray to serve snacks to kids. The brakes are also a bit difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many mothers who are short.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as is 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 issue is that the brakes can be difficult to engage and do not stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

A stroller's safety features will help to keep your child safe during use. Some of the top-scoring products in our test have five-point harnesses with padded, adjustable crotch straps that allow for a custom fit. Some strollers come with a padded cushion that protects your child's head in the event that they fall off or roll out of their seat. Some strollers come with safety brakes that lock two wheels. This is especially important for strollers that run jogging because it prevents them from rolling over when they're going down escalators or stairs, where they could be particularly dangerous for children.

In our tests, we evaluated the maneuverability of strollers in three wheel buggies different ways: a product's ability to bounce and turn over bumps and dips, its maneuverability when laden with a child and its capability to travel over rough surfaces. We also evaluated how easy it was to open and close the safety harness fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest, handlebar height and brakes and then attach and remove car seats (if appropriate).

We found that 3-wheel strollers were easier to maneuver however, the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. That's why we recommend choosing the model with a hand brake, which helps you slow down and come to a stop without as much exertion as using body power alone. However, a lot of the best-scoring swivel wheel strollers don't have this option and only one of our top fixed-wheel models does.

It is important to consider the frequency you'll need to take your stroller on an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator, and whether it's safe to do it while the stroller is in its position. Elevators and stairs are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical parts that make it difficult for you to control your stroller. We recommend finding an alternative to these obstacles, such as an elevator, if you can, or having another adult carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers are able to be taken onto the stairs or an escalator with their security brake engaged and locked, but it's always safer to be to be sorry.
