3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

If you're a fitness fanatic seeking an jogging stroller, or simply need a stroller for use in everyday life, there's a three-wheel compact 3 wheel stroller stroller for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry, put these models 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 offer features that make life on the go with your child more enjoyable. If you're looking for a brand new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller look for features that make life easier, such as a large storage basket as well as a tray for the parent with cup holders, adjustable canopy and much more. The key is determining what features are not negotiable for you and your family and which ones you could live without.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for running. It is loaded with 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 is designed to ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder has the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested, and a clear window at the top allows children to see out when they're resting. And Jenni's 3 wheel all terrain buggy-year-old found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road don't cause him to shake.

This jogging stoller comes with an automatic handbrake that helps you keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds to the size of a compact, slim package that occupies a small space in the trunk of your car. Additionally, it can be converted into a travel set-up with certain infant car seats from brands like Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex with the purchase of an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrains, solid tires are essential for strollers of any kind. While they don't offer the same level of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're great for navigating potholes and bumps effortlessly.

This jogging stroller has an easy-to-use fold that requires just two steps. It locks in place when folded, and it's small enough to fit in most elevators. It's not as simple as some of our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver and the locking mechanism is a bit complicated. It requires pressing a button near the foot area on the front of stroller and lifting the handle. We'd like to see a simpler system where it just clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is an important consideration. A heavier stroller tends to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and may offer superior performance in rough terrain. However, many parents discover that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and more suitable for use in everyday situations.

The type and size of the wheels is an important feature. Some strollers come with larger wheels, such as those for jogging that can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it more difficult to fold, transport and store.

Some models in our selection have wheels filled with air that provide a comfortable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily get flat which will need to be changed out. If you are planning to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend the use of tires that can stand up to frequent contact with various surfaces and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheels on the front are ideal to safely navigate escalators and stairs. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most frequent stroller-related injuries. They are especially dangerous for infants. If you can't avoid taking the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we advise using it only when your child is safely strapped into the seat. Keep them close to you while walking up or down.

Some strollers are sold as a complete travel system in which the car seat and stroller are sold as a unit. While these products often boast attractive prices and offer convenience in terms of reducing shopping time but they are usually more expensive than standalone models and may not function as well in the long run. Additionally, many parents later regret purchasing a bundle product because it may not include all of the features they would like or could turn out to not be compatible with their vehicle or child seat. We suggest you select a stroller that is purchased separately from the capsule or car seat if you wish to upgrade to a more advanced model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The best compact 3 wheel strollers are easy to fold and to store. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature is particularly useful for families who frequently use public transportation or drive to take a walk.

Three-wheeled strollers can be maneuvered effortlessly in tight spaces, like grocery store aisles or other areas with a lot of people. They are often equipped with suspension systems to provide a smoother ride, which is especially beneficial on bumpy sidewalks.

If you're seeking a jogging stroller that won't weigh you down, the Guava Roam Crossover is a good option. The stroller is elegant and 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 are sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks in place once opened.

A similar stroller with a nice design is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. It's a bit more expensive than our top choices, but it's well worth the money if you love to travel or live in an urban area. The lightweight stroller can be folded down to a small 20 17x7 inches size. It has five-point, non-rethread, padding on the harness. It can be used as a pram for infants or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a good product with a few nice features. It is spacious in its recline, and also has storage space. However some parents are disappointed in its performance. The seat isn't flat when it is reclining and there's no cupholders or snack trays for kids. The brakes are also difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for many short moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as is possible without skimping on comfort or convenience. It has a long list of impressive features, such as a large basket and a single-handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes may be difficult to engage and do not remain locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

A stroller's safety features should assist in keeping your child secure during use. The top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness that has adjustable and padded straps for crotch. This allows for a customized fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to protect your child's head in the event that they fall from the seat or fall off. Some strollers are equipped with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is crucial for those who run, since they are less likely to fall over while walking up and down stairs and escalators.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was evaluated in three distinct ways. We rated it on the basis of a stroller's capability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips are encountered, its ease of use with a child loaded and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also looked at how easy it was to open and close the safety harness fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest and handlebar height and brakes, and attach and take off car seats (if appropriate).

We have found that 3 wheel pushchair cheap-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than four-wheel models, but this advantage diminishes as baby gets heavier. We suggest choosing the model that has hand brakes. It will allow you to slow down or stop without having to exert the same effort as your body alone. A majority of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not have 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 utilize your stroller to go up and down escalators or stairs, and if it's safe to do so. Stairs and escalators pose more dangers because they move mechanical components that make it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. If you can choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having a second adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the best-scoring strollers can be taken onto a set of stairs or an escalator, with their safety brake engaged and locked however it's safer to be sorry.
