3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast in search of a stroller for jogging or need a stroller to use for everyday use, there's a three-wheel compact stroller out there for you. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, as well as testing children's comfort in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that allow you to travel with your little one more comfortable. Look for features that make life easier including a big bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, a movable canopy, and more when you are shopping for a new stroller. The trick is determining which 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 is loaded with useful features that will 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 away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder also comes with the largest sunshade we've seen in our test group with a clear view up top to let kids look out while they're relaxing. And Jenni's Hauck Rapid 3 Pushchair - Black Lightweight Three-Wheel-year-old found the seat to be comfortably cushioned, so bumps on the road don't make him feel too shaken.

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

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

This stroller for jogging features a fold-up that requires just two steps. It locks when folded and is small enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver and the locking mechanism can be a little difficult to understand. It requires pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, a flap on the foot area, and then lifting a handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the overall stroller is a crucial factor to consider. A heavier stroller is more stable and will perform better on rough terrain. However, many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is more maneuverable and more suitable for daily use.

The size and type of the wheels is another important aspect. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as those for jogging which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. However, larger wheels also increase the overall weight of the stroller, which can make it more difficult to fold or transport and store.

Certain models in our collection come with air-filled wheels, which provide a comfortable, stable ride to your child even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily become flat, which will require you to swap them out. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we suggest a model with solid tires that can withstand frequent contact with various surfaces and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheels on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common injuries to strollers. They are especially hazardous for infants. If you cannot avoid using an escalator or stairs with your stroller we recommend that you only use it when the child is secured in the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you when you walk up and down.

Some strollers are a travel system that includes both the car seat and the stroller. These types of products are usually more expensive and convenient than their separate counterparts and may not perform well in the long term. Additionally many parents end up regretting buying a bundled product as it might not have all the features they would like or may turn out to not be compatible with their car or child seat. If you want to upgrade in the near future we suggest that you buy a stroller separate from the car seat or capsule.

Stroller HOMCOM Folding Baby Stroller In Vibrant Red

The most compact 3 wheeled strollers wheel strollers fold easily and quickly to make storage and transport a breeze. Some of them lock automatically when you open them. This feature is particularly beneficial for families who regularly use public transportation or take a car to go on a walk.

Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed easily in tight spaces such as grocery store aisles or other crowded areas. Many are also equipped with suspension systems that offer an easier stroll for your child, which can be especially helpful on slippery sidewalks.

If you're seeking a jogging stroller that isn't heavy, the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent option. The stroller is elegant and can be used as a part of a travel system, with matching 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 after opening.

Another nice-looking 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. The stroller is more expensive than our top picks, but worth it if you travel often or live in the city. This lightweight stroller folds down to a compact size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and comes with padding, a detachable 5-point harness that is no-rethread and an ample basket. It can be used as a stroller for infants and young toddlers with an infant car seat adapter.

The Babyzen is a great product with some nice features. It has a spacious recline, and also comes with storage space. However, some parents are disappointed in its performance. The seat isn't completely flat when reclined, and there aren't any cup holders or a tray to serve snacks to kids. The brakes can also be a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars can be too high for some moms.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as lightweight as it is possible, but without losing comfort or ease of use. It comes with a long list of features that are impressive including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes can be difficult to engage and do not stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller must ensure your child's safety while using it. The top-scoring strollers in our review have a five-point safety harness that has adjustable, cushioned straps for the crotch. This allows for a custom fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to protect your child's head should they fall out of the seat or fall off. Some strollers feature safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for strollers that run jogging as it stops them from slipping when they're going up or down escalators or stairs where they can be especially risky for children.

In our tests, we rated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: the product's ability to turn and bounce over dips and bumps, its ability to maneuver when laden with a child and its ability to travel over rough surfaces. 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 being able to attach and remove car seats (if necessary).

We found that some 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than 4-wheel options However, this advantage decreases when your baby becomes heavier. This is why we recommend one with hand brakes, which helps you slow down and come to a stop without as much exertion as relying on body power alone. However, the majority of most efficient swivel wheel strollers offer this feature and only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel models does.

It is also important to think about the frequency you'll have to transport your stroller down a set of stairs or an escalator, and if or not it's safe to do this while the stroller is in its place. Elevators and stairs are more dangerous because they have moving mechanical components that make it difficult to control your stroller. If you're able to, we recommend using an elevator or having an adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the top-scoring strollers may be taken up or down a set of stairs with the safety brake engaged. However, it's safer to be secure than regretting.
