3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review There are three-wheel compact strollers for everyone regardless of whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or a stroller for all-purpose use on a daily basis. The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell as testing children's comfort in the seats. Stroller Features The top strollers come with features that make traveling with your baby more enjoyable. If you're shopping for a new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller look for convenience features like a large storage basket and a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and more. The key is determining what features are essential to you and your family and which ones you could do without. BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It has many practical features that keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap keeps the stroller from slipping when you're jogging. The Wayfinder has the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested and a large, clear window at the top allows children to look out while they rest. Jenni's 3-year old found the seat to be comfortably cushioned, which means bumps on the road won't shake him up too much. This jogging stoller features a handbrake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It can fold into a compact, slim package that will take up a small space in the trunk of your car. 3 wheel buggies can also convert it to an entire travel system by buying an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet. Solid tires are essential for strollers that will be used on rough terrains. While they don't offer the same degree of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're ideal to navigate potholes and bumps easily. The stroller folds up in just two simple steps. It locks when folded and is small enough to fit in the majority of elevators. However it's not as easy to move around as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism for locking is a bit confusing. It involves pressing an arrow near the foot area on the front of the stroller and then lifting the handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens by pulling. Stroller Weight The weight of the entire unit is a crucial aspect to consider. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than one that is lighter and could provide more performance on rough terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller more maneuverable, and more suitable for day-to-day use. Another important aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Some strollers, such as jogging strollers, have larger wheels that will provide a more comfortable ride for baby. Larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it harder to fold and store, transport and fold. Certain models in our collection include air-filled tires that are designed to offer an enjoyable and stable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. However, air-filled tires could easily become flat, which will need to be changed out. If you intend to take your stroller with you a lot, we recommend that you select one with solid wheels. These tires are able to withstand contact with various surfaces more frequently and last longer. Strollers with front wheels that swivel are ideal for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common accidents involving strollers, and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we suggest using it only when your child is safely strapped into the seat. Keep them close to you as you walk up or down. Some strollers come as an integrated travel system that incorporates both the car seat as well as the stroller. These are typically more expensive and less convenient than their standalone counterparts, and may not perform well in the long run. In addition, many parents later regret buying a bundled product as it may not include all the features they would like, or it could prove to be incompatible with their vehicle or child seat. We suggest you select a stroller that is purchased separately from a car seat or capsule if you wish to upgrade to a higher-end model in the future. Stroller Folding The best 3 wheel compact strollers fold quickly and easily to make transport and storage a breeze. Some even lock in place automatically when you open them. This feature can be particularly useful for families who frequently use public transport or drive before going on a walk. Three-wheel strollers are designed to maneuver around tight spaces like grocery store aisles and other crowded areas easily. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that provide an easier ride for your little one, which can be especially helpful on slippery sidewalks. If you're looking for a jogging stroller that won't weigh you down Guava Roam Crossover is a good alternative. It's a stylish stroller that can also be used as part of a travel system, with adapters for car seats 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 when it is opened. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another nice-looking 3-wheeled jogging stroller. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks, but is worth it if you travel a lot or live in a city. This lightweight stroller can fold down to a smaller size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and features a padded, adjustable five-point harness with no-rethread straps and an ample basket. It can even be used as a pram for newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter). While the Babyzen offers some great features, including an ample recline and additional storage, certain parents have been dissatisfied with its performance. The seat isn't fully flat when reclined and there aren't any cup holders or a tray for snacks for children. The brakes can be difficult to engage and the handlebars are too high for certain moms. The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as possible, without losing comfort or ease of use. It comes with a plethora of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only drawback to this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to activate, and they're not locked after the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety The safety features of a stroller will ensure that your child is safe using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our review feature a five-point harness with padded, adjustable crotch straps that allow for a customized fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head should they fall out of the seat or roll off. Some strollers are equipped with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is crucial for jogging walkers, as it stops them from falling over while walking up and down escalators and stairs. In our tests strollers' maneuverability was evaluated in three distinct ways. We rated it based on a product's ability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips are encountered, its ease of use with a child loaded and its capacity to traverse rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness, folding and unfolding the stroller, changing the backrest and height of the handlebar and operating the brakes as well as attaching and removing car seats (if applicable). We found that some 3-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than four-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as your baby grows heavier. We suggest choosing the model that has a hand brake. It will allow you to slow down or stop without putting in as much effort as using 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 comes with it. It's important to consider the frequency that you will have to transport your stroller down the stairs or an escalator and whether it's safe to do it with the stroller still in place. Elevators and stairs are more risky because they contain moving mechanical components which make it difficult to control your stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these obstacles, such as an elevator, if you have one, or having another adult to carry the stroller up and down with you. Some of the best-scoring strollers are able to be carried up the stairs or an escalator with their security brake engaged and locked, but it's always better to be safer than to be sorry.
