3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel strollers designed for everyone whether you're looking for a jogging stoller or a stroller for all-purpose use for every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry tested these models to the test on both pavement and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the safety of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The most effective strollers have features that allow you to travel with your child much easier. Find features that simplify your life, such as a large bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy, and so on when you are shopping for the latest stroller. The key is determining what features are essential to you and your family and which ones you're able to be content with.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with a variety of useful features to keep moms as well as dads comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three wheeler pushchair different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller doesn't slide away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade in our testing group, with a clear window at the top to let children look out while they're relaxing. Jenni's cheap 3 wheel buggy-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable padding, so bumps on the road didn't bother him.

This stroller for jogging also comes with a hand brake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds to the size of a compact, slim package that takes up very little space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system using the best 3 wheel buggy infant car seats from brands like Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex with the purchase of an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

Solid tires are a must for strollers used on rough terrains. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating bumps and potholes.

This jogging stroller comes with a fold that takes just two steps. It locks in place when folded and is small enough to fit into the majority of elevators. However it's not as easy to maneuver as our other strollers with four wheels, and the mechanism for locking is a bit hazy. It involves clicking an icon on the front of the stroller, a flap near the foot area, and lifting the handle. We'd like to see a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is an important consideration. A heavier stroller is more stable and will perform better on rough terrain. However, many parents discover that a lighter stroller is more maneuverable and more suitable for daily use.

Another important feature of a stroller is the size of its wheels and type. Certain strollers, such as ones that jog have wheels that are larger and will provide a more comfortable ride for babies. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller and make it harder to fold and store, transport and fold.

Some models in our collection have wheels filled with air that provide an enjoyable, stable ride to your child even on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are susceptible to flattening and have to replace them. If you are planning to travel with your stroller frequently, we recommend that you select one with solid wheels. These tires are able to be able to withstand contact with different surfaces more often 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 common stroller-related injuries and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we advise using it only when the child is securely strapped in the seat and is close to you when walking up or down.

Some strollers are available as an entire travel system where the car seat and stroller are sold together as a unit. These types of products are usually more expensive and less convenient than their separate counterparts and they may not be as effective in the long term. Additionally, many parents later regret purchasing a bundle because it may not include all of the features they want or may turn out to not be compatible with their vehicle or child's seat. If you are planning to upgrade in the near future we recommend you purchase a stroller separately from a capsule or car seat.

Stroller Folding

The most compact 3 wheel strollers fold easily and store. Some even lock in place automatically when you open them. This feature can be especially beneficial for families who regularly use public transport or drive before going on an outing.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to move through tight spaces such as aisles of grocery stores and other areas that are crowded with ease. A lot of them are equipped with suspension systems to provide an easier ride. This is especially useful on bumpy sidewalks.

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

Another nice-looking 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. The stroller is more expensive than our top picks, but is worth it if you travel often or live in the city. This lightweight 3 wheel pushchair stroller can fold down to a smaller size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and features a padded, adjustable 5-point harness that is no-rethread and an ample basket. It can also be used as a pram to carry newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a good product with some nice features. It offers a large recline and comes with storage space. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied with its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it is reclining and there aren't cup holders or snack trays for kids. The brakes can be difficult to engage and the handlebars can be too high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing comfort or convenience. It's packed with a variety of features, including a large basket and a fold that is one-handed. The only drawback to this stroller is that the brakes are a little difficult to activate, and they're not locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should keep your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our review have five-point harnesses with adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a customized fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to protect your child's head in the event that they fall out of the seat or fall off. Some strollers feature safety brakes that lock two wheels. This is essential for strollers that jog since it prevents them from slipping when they're going down escalators or stairs, which can be particularly dangerous for children.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was rated in three different ways. We scored it on the basis of a stroller's ability to bounce and turn when bumps and dips are encountered and its comfort with a child on it, and its ability to navigate over rough terrain. We also evaluated the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, changing its backrest and handlebar height, operating the brakes, as being able to attach and remove car seats (if applicable).

We found that strollers with 3 wheels were easier to maneuver however the advantages decreased as the weight of the baby increased. That's why we recommend choosing a model that has hand brakes, which helps you slow down and stop with as little effort as relying on body power alone. However, the majority of top-scoring swivel wheel strollers do not come with this feature and only one of our top fixed-wheel models does.

You should also consider how often you'll be required to utilize your stroller to go up or down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do it. Stairs and escalators pose more dangers because they move mechanical components that make it difficult to control the movement of the stroller. If you're able to, we recommend using an elevator or having another adult assist you in carrying the stroller. Some of the most highly-rated strollers can be taken onto a set of stairs or an escalator with their safety brake engaged and locked but it's always safer to be not be.
