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 every day. The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces as well as assessing the comfort of children in the seats. Stroller Features The best strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your child easier. Look for features that make life easier, such as a large bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy, and more when looking for a new stroller. It's crucial to decide the features that are important to you and your family members and which you can do without. The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with plenty of convenient features that will keep moms and dads happy and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap prevents the stroller from slipping while you jog. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade that we tested, with a clear window up top to let kids peek out while they're resting. And Jenni's 3-year-old found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road won't make him feel too shaken. This jogging stoller comes with a handbrake to help you keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds into a compact, slim package that takes up little space in the trunk of your car. It is also possible to convert it to a travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet. If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, sturdy tires are a must for any stroller. They're not as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires but they're great to navigate bumps and potholes. This stroller is a jogging model and features a fold-up that takes just two steps. It locks when folded and is small enough to fit in most elevators. However it's not as easy to move around as our other strollers with four wheels, and the mechanism to lock it is a bit hazy. It's as simple as pressing an arrow near the foot area at the front of stroller and 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 overall stroller is a crucial factor to take into account. A heavier stroller tends to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and may offer better performance in rough terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller easier to maneuver and is more suitable for daily use. Another crucial aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and type. Certain strollers, like those that run on jogging with larger wheels can offer a more comfortable experience for infants. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it difficult to fold and transport, as well as store. Some models in our selection have air-filled tires that are designed to offer a comfortable and stable ride for your child even on rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can easily get flat which will require you to swap them out. If you are planning to travel a lot with your stroller, we suggest the use of tires that can stand up to frequent contact with different surfaces and last for a longer time. Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for walking up and down escalators and stairs safely. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller injuries. They are especially hazardous for infants. If you can't avoid the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we advise using it only when the child is safely strapped into the seat and is close to you while walking up or down. Some strollers come as a travel system which includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. These products are often more expensive and commodious than their standalone counterparts, and may not perform well in the long term. In addition many parents end up regretting purchasing a bundle product because it may not come with all the features they want, or it could prove to be incompatible with their vehicle or child seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that is purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future. Stroller Folding The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold up quickly and easily to make storage and transport a breeze. Some locks automatically lock into place when you open them. This feature can be especially beneficial for families who regularly take public transportation or drive before going on a walk. Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed easily in tight spaces, like aisles of grocery stores or other areas with a lot of people. Many are equipped with suspension systems that provide a smoother ride, which is particularly useful on sidewalks that are bumpy. If you're seeking a jogging stroller that isn't heavy, the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent option. It's elegant and can be used as a part of a travel system with car seat adapters 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 in two steps and locks into position once 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 frequently or live in the city. The lightweight stroller can fold down to a smaller size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and comes with padding, a detachable five-point harness with no-rethread straps and a large basket. It can also be used as a pram to carry newborns or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter). Although the Babyzen has some nice features, including the spacious recline and the extra storage, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. 3 wheeled pushchair isn't flat when reclined and there's no cupholders or snack trays for children. The brakes can be difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for a lot of short moms. The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as is possible without sacrificing comfort or ease of use. It has a long list of amazing features, such as a large basket and a single-handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes can be a bit difficult to activate, and they don't lock when the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety The safety features of a stroller should ensure your child's safety 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 customised fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to shield your child's head should they fall from the seat or fall off. Some strollers come with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is crucial for jogging walkers, as it prevents them from tumbling over while going up or down stairs and escalators. In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was evaluated in three distinct ways. We rated it on the basis of a stroller's ability to bounce and turn when bumps and dips occur and its comfort with a child loaded and its ability to travel over rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, changing the height of its backrest and handlebar as well as operating the brakes as also the ability to attach and remove car seats (if necessary). We found that 3-wheel strollers were easier to maneuver, but the advantage diminished as baby weight increased. That's why we recommend choosing the model with a hand brake, which allows you to slow down and come to a stop without as much effort as relying on body power alone. A majority of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this option. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers has it. You should also consider how often you'll need to use your stroller for going up and down stairs or escalators, and if it's safe to do so. Stairs and elevators are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical components that make it difficult to control your stroller. If you're able to choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having a second adult assist you in carrying the stroller. Some of the top-scoring strollers may be taken up or down a set of stairs with their safety brake engaged. It's always safer to be secure than sorry.
