3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast seeking an jogging stroller, or simply seeking a stroller that is all-purpose for use in everyday life, there's a three-wheel compact stroller out there for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry, put these models to the test on both roads and off-road surfaces. They also tested the comfort of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The best 3 wheel stroller with car seat strollers have features that make life on the go with your child more convenient. Whether 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 as well as a tray for the parent with cup holders, an adjustable canopy, and more. It's important to know which features are essential for you and your family and those you can live without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with a wide range of features to keep moms as well as dads comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all sizes, and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested and a clear window on the top lets children to look out when they are resting. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortably padded, so bumps in the road won'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 to an extremely compact and slim size that takes up very little space in the trunk of your car, and it can convert 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're planning to tackle rough terrain, sturdy tires are a must-have for any stroller. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating potholes and bumps.

The stroller folds up in just two simple steps. It locks in place when folded and is compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. It's not as simple than our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver and the locking mechanism is somewhat confusing. It requires pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, closing a flap that is located near the foot area, and then raising the handle. We'd like to see a more simple system that clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is an important consideration. A stroller that is heavier is more stable and will 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 feature. Certain strollers, such as ones that jog have wheels that are larger and will provide a more comfortable experience for infants. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it more difficult to fold, transport and store.

Certain models in our collection have wheels filled with air that provide an enjoyable, stable ride to your child even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily become flat, which will require you to change them out. If you intend to take your stroller with you frequently, we recommend that you select one with solid wheels. These tires can withstand contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheel at the front are great for safely navigating escalators as well as stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common accidents that occur due to strollers and are particularly hazardous for infants. If you cannot avoid taking the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we recommend using it only when the child is safely strapped into the seat. Keep them close to you while walking up or down.

Some strollers are a travel system that includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. These products are often more expensive and commodious than their separate counterparts and they may not be as effective in the long-term. Many parents are disappointed when they purchase a bundle product because it might not include all the features they want or may not be compatible with their car or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade in the future, we recommend that you purchase a stroller that is separate from car seats or capsules.

Stroller Folding

The most compact 3 wheel parent facing pushchair wheel strollers fold up quickly and easily to make transport and storage effortless. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature is particularly beneficial for families that frequently use public transportation or take a car to walk.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to navigate around tight spaces like grocery store aisles and other crowded areas easily. A lot of them are equipped with suspension systems for a smoother ride. This is particularly useful on bumpy sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a light stroller for jogging. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as part of a travel set-up with adapters for car seats to fit Nuna, MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats, and the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller comes with simple two-step fold, and locks into place once opened.

Another stylish 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if you travel often or live in the city. The lightweight stroller folds down to a small size (20.5 x 17.3 wheeled pushchairs x 7.1) and comes with padding, a detachable five-point harness with no-rethread straps and a large basket. It can even be used as a pram for infants or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a good product with some nice features. It offers a large recline, and it also comes with storage space. However, some parents are disappointed in its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when reclined, and there's no cups or a tray for snacks for kids. The brakes are a little difficult to engage and the handlebars are a bit high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as is possible without skimping on comfort or ease of use. It has an impressive list of features, including a large basket and a fold that is one-handed. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to engage and they're not locking when the stroller has been folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should aid in keeping your child secure during use. Some of the top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness that has adjustable, padded straps for the crotch. This allows for a customized fit. Some strollers come with a cushioned cushion that protects your child's head should they fall off or roll out of their seat. Some strollers are equipped with a safety lock that locks both wheels. This is especially important for those who run, since it stops them from falling over while walking up and down escalators and stairs.

In our tests, the maneuverability of strollers was assessed in three different ways. We rated it based on a product's capability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips are encountered and its comfort with a child in it 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, operating the brakes, as well as attaching and removing car seats (if appropriate).

We discovered that strollers with three wheels were easier to maneuver however the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. We recommend choosing a model with hand brakes. It will help you slow down or stop without putting in as much effort as using your body alone. However, many of the most efficient swivel wheel strollers have this option and only one of our top fixed-wheel models comes with it.

It is also important to consider how often you'll need to use your stroller to go up or down escalators or stairs and if it's safe to do so. Elevators and stairs pose more dangers because they move mechanical parts which make it difficult to control the motion of the stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these hazards, like an elevator, if you can, or having another adult to carry the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be pushed up a set of stairs or an escalator with their safety brake locked and engaged, but it's always better to be safer than sorry.
