3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast looking for a jogging stroller or just seeking a stroller that is all-purpose to use for everyday use there's a compact three-wheel stroller out there for you. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on pavement and off-road surfaces as well as testing children's comfort in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers come with features that make traveling with your child a lot easier. If you're looking for a brand new 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for convenience features like an ample storage basket and a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy, and more. The key is determining what features are non-negotiable for you and your family, and which ones you could be content with.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It has many practical features that keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights, and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller won't roll away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of the strollers we tested and a large, clear window at the top allows kids to peek out when they're resting. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortably cushioned, which means bumps on the road don't shake him up too much.

This jogging stoller has the handbrake to help keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into the size of a compact, slim package that occupies a small 3 wheel stroller space in the trunk of your car, and it can convert into a travel system with the best infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex with the purchase of an adapter. It can also be used with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, tires are a must-have for any stroller. While they don't provide the same level of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're ideal for navigating bumps and potholes with ease.

This stroller is a jogging model and features a fold-up that requires just two steps. It locks into position when folded, and is compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. However it's not as simple to maneuver as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism for locking is a bit confusing. It involves pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, a flap near the foot area, and then raising 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 overall stroller is a significant factor to take into account. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and may offer more performance on rough terrain. However, a lot of parents find that strollers with lighter weights are easier to maneuver and more suitable for use in everyday situations.

Another important feature of a stroller is its wheel size and type. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, such as jogging ones that can make the ride smoother for your baby. However, larger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller, which can make it difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Certain models we offer include air-filled tires that are designed to provide an enjoyable and stable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Air-filled tires are susceptible to flattening, so you have to replace them. If you intend to take your stroller on the road a lot, we recommend that you choose one with solid wheels. These tires are able to endure contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheels at the front are great for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller injuries. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you cannot avoid taking the stairs or escalator while using your stroller, we recommend using it only when your child is securely strapped into the seat. Keep them close to you when walking up or down.

Some strollers are available as an entire travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold together as a single unit. These are typically more expensive and commodious than their stand-alone counterparts and may not perform well in the long-term. In addition many parents regret buying a bundled product as it may not come with all the features they desire or may turn out to 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 higher-end model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The most compact 3 wheel strollers are easy to fold and put away. Some of them lock automatically when you open them. This feature is particularly useful for families who frequently use public transportation or take a car to walk.

Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed effortlessly in tight spaces, like aisles of grocery stores or other areas that are crowded. Many are equipped with suspension systems for a smoother ride, which is particularly useful on bumpy sidewalks.

If you're looking for a stroller that is jogging-friendly that won't weigh you down Guava Roam Crossover is a great alternative. It's a good-looking stroller that can be used as a travel set-up with the matching car seat adapters for Nuna Maxi-Cosi, Nuna and Cybex infant carseats, as well as the bassinet Uppababy (car seats and stroller board sold separately). The stroller has simple two-step fold, and can be locked once it is it is opened.

Another stylish 3 wheel pushchair-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. It's a bit more expensive than some of our top picks, but it's well worth the money if you love to travel or live in the city. This stroller is lightweight and can be folded down to a small 20 17x7 inch size. It comes with five-point, non-rethread, cushioned harness. It can be used as a stroller for infants and toddlers, if you have an adapter for infant car seats.

While the Babyzen comes with some nice features, including an ample recline and additional storage space, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it reclines and there's no cupholders or snack trays for kids. The brakes are difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for a lot of moms who are petite.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as is possible without skimping on comfort or convenience. It comes with a plethora of features, including a spacious basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue with this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to engage, and they're not locked after the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should ensure your child's safety while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness with adjustable, padded straps for crotch. This allows for a customised fit. Some strollers have a padded cushion that shields your child's head in the event that they fall off or roll out of their seat. Some strollers are equipped with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is especially important for those who run, since it stops them from falling over while going up or down stairs and escalators.

In our tests, the maneuverability of strollers was rated in three different ways. We rated it based on the ability to bounce and turn when bumps or dips are encountered and its comfort with a child in it, 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 its backrest, handlebar height, operate the brakes, and then attach and remove car seats (if applicable).

We discovered that some 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than the 4-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as baby gets heavier. This is why we suggest choosing the model with a hand brake, which helps you slow down and come to a stop with as little 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 comes with it.

It is important to think about how often you'll need to use your stroller to go up or down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do this. Stairs and elevators are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical components that make it difficult to control your stroller. We recommend finding an alternative to these obstacles, like an elevator, if possible, or having another adult to carry the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be carried up or down a set of stairs with the safety brake engaged. However, it's safer to be secure rather than sorry.
