3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review There are three-wheel compact strollers for all ages, whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or a stroller for all-purpose use for every day. The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell test the comfort of children in the seats. Stroller Features The best strollers offer features that make traveling with your child more comfortable. Whether you're shopping for a new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for features that make life easier, such as large storage baskets, parent tray with cup holders, adjustable canopy, and more. The key is determining what features are essential to you and your family and which ones you can live without. BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It comes with a variety of practical features that keep parents happy 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 comes with the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested, and a large, clear opening at the top that allows children to look out while they rest. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road won't make him feel too shaken. This jogging stoller has the handbrake to help keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds into an extremely compact and slim size that takes up very little space in the trunk of your vehicle, and it can convert into a travel system with select infant car seats from brands such as Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet. If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, tires are essential for any stroller. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires but they're great for navigating bumps and potholes. This stroller is a jogging model and comes with a fold that only requires two steps. It locks when folded and is small enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver, and the locking mechanism can be somewhat complicated. It involves pressing an arrow near the foot area at the front of stroller and then lifting the handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that clicks in place or opens by pulling. Stroller Weight The overall weight is a crucial aspect to consider. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and could provide better performance in rough terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and is more suitable for daily use. Another crucial aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Certain strollers, such as those that run on jogging, have larger wheels that can offer a more comfortable ride for baby. However, larger wheels also increase the overall weight of the stroller which makes it harder to fold and transport as well as store. Certain models in our collection include air-filled tires that are designed to provide a safe and comfortable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can easily become flat, which will require you to change them out. If you plan to travel with your stroller a lot, we recommend that you choose one with solid wheels. These tires can be able to withstand contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer. Strollers that have swivel wheels on the front are ideal for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common accidents involving strollers, and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using an escalator or stairs with your stroller we suggest that you only use it when the child is safely strapped into the seat. Also keep them close to you as you go up or down. Some strollers are available as an entire travel system in which the car seat and stroller are sold together as a single unit. These types of products are usually more expensive and convenient than their standalone counterparts, and may not perform well in the long run. Additionally many parents regret buying a bundled product as it might not have all of the features they would like, or it could prove to not be compatible with their car or child seat. If you plan to upgrade in the near future we suggest that you buy a stroller separate from the car seat or capsule. Stroller Folding The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold easily and quickly to make storage and transport a breeze. Some even lock in place automatically when you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families who regularly take public transportation or drive prior to going for a walks. Three-wheel strollers are designed to maneuver around tight spaces like aisles in grocery stores and other areas that are crowded easily. They are often equipped with suspension systems that provide an easier ride. This is particularly useful on sidewalks that are bumpy. If you're looking for a jogging stroller that isn't heavy the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent alternative. The stroller is elegant and can be used as a part of a travel system, with adapters for car seats to fit Nuna, MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats, and the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). 3 wheel pushchair has a simple two-step fold and locks into place once opened. Another stylish 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. This stroller is more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if you travel a lot or live in a city. The lightweight stroller can be folded down to a small 20 x 17 x 7 inch size. It comes with a five-point, no-rethread, padding on the harness. It can be used as a stroller for newborns and young toddlers with an infant car seat adapter. 3 wheeled pushchair is a great product that has some great features. It has a spacious recline, and also has extra storage. However, some parents are disappointed in its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it is reclining and there aren't cup holders or snack trays for children. The brakes can be difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many short moms. The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as lightweight as possible, without the comfort or convenience. It's packed with a variety of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue is that the brakes may be difficult to activate and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety A stroller's safety features should aid in keeping your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers we've reviewed have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and padding straps for crotch. This allows for a customised fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head in the event that they fall out of the seat or roll off. Some strollers feature safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is essential for strollers that run jogging because it prevents them from rolling over when they're going up or down stairs or escalators, where they can be especially risky for children. In our tests strollers' maneuverability was evaluated in three distinct ways. We evaluated it based on a product's capability 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 assessed the ease of being able to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest and handlebar height and brakes, and then attach and remove car seats (if necessary). We found that 3-wheel strollers were easier to maneuver however the advantages decreased as the weight of the baby increased. This is why we recommend the model with a hand brake, which assists you in slowing down and come to a stop without as much effort than using your body alone. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not have this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it. You should also consider how often you'll be required to use your stroller to go up or down escalators or stairs and if it's safe to do this. Stairs and elevators can be more hazardous because they have moving mechanical components which make it difficult to control your stroller. If you are able, we recommend using an elevator or having a second adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the top-scoring strollers may be carried up or down a set of stairs with their safety brake engaged. It's always safer to be secure than regretting.
