3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel compact strollers for anyone whether you're looking for a jogging stoller or a stroller that you can use on a daily basis. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry tested these models to the test on both roads and off-road surfaces. They also tested the seating comfort for children.

Stroller Features

The best strollers offer features that make traveling with your baby more enjoyable. Look for features that make life easier including a big storage bin, parent tray with cups holders, adjustable canopy, and so on when you are shopping for the latest stroller. The trick is determining which features are not negotiable for you and your family, and which ones you can live without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with plenty of convenient features to keep moms and dads comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap prevents the stroller from slipping away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of all the strollers we tested, and a glass opening at the top that allows children to look out when they are resting. Jenni's 3 wheeler stroller-year old found the seat to be comfortably cushioned, which means bumps on the road don't make him feel too shaken.

This jogging stoller features a handbrake to help you keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds down to the size of a compact, slim package that occupies a small space in the trunk of your vehicle, and it can be converted into a travel set-up with certain infant car seats from brands such as Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

Solid tires are essential for strollers that will be used on terrains that are rough. They're not as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're excellent to navigate bumps and potholes.

The stroller folds down in just two steps. It locks when folded, and is small enough to fit in the majority of elevators. It's not as simple as our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver and the locking mechanism is a little difficult to understand. It requires pressing a button near the foot area at the front of stroller, and then lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler system that just clicks in place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight of a stroller is a significant factor to consider. A heavier stroller tends to be more stable than a lighter one and could provide superior performance in rough terrain. However, many parents find that a lighter stroller is easier to maneuver and more suitable for everyday use.

Another crucial aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Certain strollers, like ones that jog have wheels that are larger and will provide a more comfortable ride for babies. However, bigger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller which makes it difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Some models in our selection have wheels filled with air that provide a safe, comfortable ride to your child even on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are prone to flattening, so you have to replace them. If you intend to take your stroller with you often, we suggest that you choose one with solid wheels. They can endure contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common accidents involving strollers, and can be particularly dangerous for infants. If you can't avoid the stairs or escalator with 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 can be purchased as an entire travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold as a single unit. These types of products are usually more expensive and less convenient than their separate counterparts and may not perform well in the long-term. Additionally many parents regret buying a bundled product as it might not have all the features they want, or it could prove to not be compatible with their vehicle or child seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that is purchased separately from a car seat or capsule if you'd like to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future.

Stroller Folding

The most compact 3 wheel strollers fold up quickly and easily to make storage and transport effortless. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature can be especially useful for families who frequently use public transportation or drive before going on walks.

Three-wheeled strollers are able to maneuver easily in tight spaces like grocery store aisles or other areas with a lot of people. They also have suspension systems that give an easier stroll for your child which is especially helpful on slippery sidewalks.

If you're seeking a jogging stroller that doesn't weigh you down the Guava Roam Crossover is a good alternative. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as a part of a travel set-up 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 sold separately). The stroller comes with a simple two-step fold and can be locked once it is it is opened.

Another nice-looking 3 wheeled travel system-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks, but worth it if you travel often or live in a city. The stroller is lightweight 3 wheel pushchair and folds down to a compact size (20.5 x 17.3 wheel All Terrain buggy x 7.1) and comes with a padded, adjustable, five-point no-rethread harness and an ample basket. It can be used as a stroller for newborns and toddlers, if you have an adapter for infant car seats.

Although the Babyzen offers some great features, such as an ample recline and additional storage, some parents are dissatisfied with its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when reclined and there are no cupholders or snack trays for children. The brakes are difficult to engage and the handlebars can be too high for some moms.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as lightweight as is possible, yet not the comfort or convenience. It's equipped with a lengthy list of amazing features including a large basket and a one handed fold. The only drawback is that the brakes could be difficult to activate and don't remain locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

A stroller's safety features will assist in keeping your child safe during use. The top-scoring strollers we've reviewed have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and cushioned straps for crotch. This allows for a customized fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to safeguard your child's head in the event that they fall out of the seat or roll off. Some strollers feature a safety brake that locks two wheels, which is essential for strollers that run jogging as it stops them from slipping when they're going down escalators or stairs where they can be especially dangerous for children.

In our tests strollers' maneuverability was assessed in three different ways. We scored it based on the ability to bounce and turn when bumps or dips are encountered and its comfort with a child loaded, and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also looked at how easy it is to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest and handlebar height and brakes, and attach and take off car seats (if appropriate).

We found that strollers with 3 wheels were more maneuverable however the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. This is why we suggest choosing one with hand brakes, which assists you in slowing down and come to a stop with as little effort as using body power alone. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not have this option. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it.

You should also consider how often you'll need to utilize your stroller to go up and down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do it. Stairs and escalators pose greater risk because they move mechanical components, making it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. We recommend finding an alternative to these hazards, like an elevator, if you have one or have a person else carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the best 3 wheel travel system-scoring strollers can be carried up the stairs or an escalator with their security brakes engaged and locked but it's always better to be safer than to be sorry.
