3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review
There are three-wheel strollers designed for all ages whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or an all-purpose stroller to use on a daily basis. 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 top 3 wheel strollers (continue reading this..) strollers come with features that make traveling with your baby more comfortable. If you're shopping for a brand new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for features that are convenient, such as an ample storage basket, parent tray 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 live without.
BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It is loaded with useful features that will keep parents happy and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap prevents the stroller from rolling away while you are jogging. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade we've seen in our test group, with a clear window on top that lets kids look out while they're relaxing. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road don't cause him to shake.
This stroller for jogging also comes with a hand brake that helps you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds down to the size of a compact, slim package that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system using 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 plan on tackling rough terrain, sturdy tires are essential for strollers of any kind. They're not as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires but they're great for navigating bumps and potholes.
The jogging stroller folds in just two simple steps. It locks into place when folded, and is compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. However it's not as simple to move around as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism to lock it is a bit hazy. It involves pressing the button in the foot area on the front of the stroller and then lifting the handle. We'd rather have 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 stroller that is heavier is more stable and can perform better on uneven terrain. Many parents prefer a stroller that is lighter, as it is more maneuverable, and more suitable for everyday use.
The size and type of the wheels is an important aspect. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as those for jogging that can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. The larger wheels can add weight to the stroller and make it difficult to fold, transport and store.
Certain models we offer have air-filled tires that are designed to offer a comfortable and stable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can quickly become flat and require you to change them out. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend the use of tires that can withstand frequent contact with various surfaces and last longer.
Strollers with swivel wheels on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller-related injuries and can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the stairs or escalator while using your stroller, we suggest using it only when your child is safely strapped into the seat and is close to you when walking up or down.
Some strollers are available as a complete travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold as a single unit. While these products often boast attractive price tags and provide convenience in terms of cutting down on shopping time but they are usually more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not function as well in the long haul. Additionally, many parents later regret purchasing a bundle because it might not have all of the features they would like, or it could prove to be incompatible with their vehicle or child's seat. We suggest you select a stroller that can be purchased separately from a car seat or capsule if you'd like to upgrade to a higher-end model in the future.
Stroller Folding
The best 3 wheel compact strollers fold easily and quickly to make storage and transport effortless. Some even lock in place automatically when you open them. This feature can be especially beneficial for families that frequently use public transport or drive prior to going for a an outing.
Three-wheeled strollers can be maneuvered easily in tight spaces like aisles of grocery stores or other crowded areas. They also have suspension systems that provide a more comfortable ride for your little one and can be particularly helpful on slippery sidewalks.
If you're looking for a jogging stroller that won't weigh you down Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent alternative. The stroller is a stylish stroller that can be used as a part of a travel system, with car seat adapters to fit Nuna, MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats, and the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks into position once opened.
The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another attractive 3 wheeled buggies-wheeled jogging stroller with a nice design. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks but is worth it if you travel frequently or live in a city. This lightweight stroller can fold down to a smaller size (20.5 x 17.3 wheel buggies x 7.1) and features an adjustable, padded 5-point harness that is no-rethread and a large basket. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants or toddlers who are young, with an infant car seat adapter.
The Babyzen is a quality product with a few nice features. It offers a large recline, and it also comes with storage space. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied by its performance. The seat isn't fully flat when reclined, and there's no cups or a tray for snacks for kids. The brakes can also be a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars are a bit high for some moms.
The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as it can without skimping on comfort or ease of use. It comes with a long list of features that are impressive including a large basket and a single-handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes can be a bit difficult to engage, and they don't lock when the stroller has been folded.
Stroller Safety
A stroller's safety features will assist in keeping your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our review feature a five-point harness with adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a customised fit. Some strollers come with a cushioned cushion that shields your child's head if they roll off or fall out of their seat. Some strollers have a safety lock that secures both wheels. This is crucial for those who run, since it prevents them from tumbling over while going up or down stairs and escalators.
In our tests, we rated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: a product's ability to rotate and bounce over dips and bumps, its ability to maneuver when laden with a child and its capacity to travel over rough surfaces. We also assessed how easy it was to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest the height of the handlebar and brakes and then attach and remove car seats (if necessary).
We found that strollers with 3 wheels were more maneuverable, but the advantage diminished as baby weight increased. We recommend selecting a model with hand brakes. It will allow you to slow down or stop without having to exert the same amount of effort as your body by itself. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this feature. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers has it.
It is also important to think about the frequency that you will need to take your stroller on a set of stairs or an escalator and whether or not it will be safe to do so with the stroller in position. Elevators and stairs are more risky because they contain moving mechanical components that make it difficult for you to control your stroller. If you can use an elevator or having an adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the best-scoring strollers are able to be taken onto a set of stairs or an escalator, with their safety brake locked and engaged, but it's always better to be safer than not be.
