3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel compact strollers for all ages whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or a stroller that you can use every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry, put these models to the test on road surfaces and off-road ones. They also tested the safety of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The top strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your little one more comfortable. If you're shopping for a brand new 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for features that are convenient, such as large storage baskets as well as a tray for the parent with cup holders, a movable canopy and more. It's important to determine which features are essential for you and your family, and which you can do without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with a wide range of features to keep moms and dads happy and comfortable. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all sizes, and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller won't roll away when you're running. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of all the strollers we tested, and a large, clear opening at the top that allows children to look out when they're resting. Jenni's 3-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable cushion, so bumps in the road didn't cause any discomfort for him.

This stroller for jogging also comes with an automatic hand brake that can help you maintain control on slick surfaces. It folds down to a slim, compact package that occupies a small space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system using certain infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you plan on tackling rough terrain, sturdy tires are a must-have for strollers of any kind. While they don't offer the same degree of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're perfect to navigate potholes and bumps easily.

This stroller is a jogging model and comes with a fold that only requires two steps. It locks in place when folded, and it's small enough to fit in most elevators. However, it's not as easy to maneuver as some of our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism to lock it is a bit difficult to understand. It requires pressing an arrow near the foot area on the front of the stroller and lifting the handle. We'd like to see a simpler system that clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the overall stroller is a significant aspect to take into consideration. A heavier stroller is more stable and will perform better on uneven terrain. Many parents prefer a stroller that is lighter, as it is easier to maneuver and more suitable for everyday use.

The shape and size of the wheels is an important aspect. Certain strollers, such as jogging strollers 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 harder to fold and store, transport and fold.

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 susceptible to flattening, so you will need to replace them. If you intend to travel with your stroller frequently, we recommend 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 great for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent accidents involving strollers, and can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you cannot avoid using an escalator or stairs with your stroller we recommend using it when the child is safely strapped into the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you when you walk up or down.

Some strollers can be purchased as complete travel systems where the car seat and stroller are sold as a single unit. These products are often more expensive and commodious than their stand-alone counterparts and they may not be as effective in the long run. Additionally, many parents later regret buying a bundled product as it may not come with all the features they want or may turn out to not be compatible with their vehicle or child's seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a more advanced model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The best compact 3 wheel strollers fold easily and put away. Some even lock into place automatically when you open them. This feature is particularly useful for families who regularly take public transport or drive to walk.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to navigate through tight spaces such as aisles of grocery stores and other crowded areas easily. Many are equipped with suspension systems that provide a smoother ride. This is particularly useful on bumpy sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a compact stroller that can be used for jogging. It's elegant and can also be used as 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 sold separately). The stroller has simple two-step fold, and can be locked once it is 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 you travel frequently or live in the city. The lightweight stroller can be folded down to a Compact 3 wheel stroller 20 17x7 inch size. It comes with five-point, non-rethread, padded harness. It can be used as a stroller for newborns or toddlers who are young, with an adapter for infant car seats.

The Babyzen is a good product that has some great features. It offers a large recline, and also has extra storage. However some parents are disappointed by its performance. The seat isn't flat when it is reclining and there are no cupholders or snack tray for children. The brakes are also a bit difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for a lot of short moms.

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

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller will ensure your child's safety while 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 custom fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head should they fall from the seat or fall off. Some strollers feature safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for strollers that jog since it prevents them from rolling over when they're going down escalators or stairs where they could be particularly risky for children.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was evaluated in three distinct ways. We scored it based on the ability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips occur, its ease of use with a child in it and its capacity to travel over rough terrain. We also evaluated how easy it was to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest the height of the handlebar, operate the brakes, and attach and remove car seats (if applicable).

We found that strollers with 3 wheel bassinet stroller wheels were more maneuverable, but the advantage diminished as baby weight increased. This is why we recommend one with a hand brake that assists you in slowing down and stop without as much exertion as relying on body power alone. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers don't have this option. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers comes with it.

You should also consider how often you'll need to use your stroller to go up and down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do this. Stairs and elevators can be more risky because they contain moving mechanical parts which make it difficult to control your stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these hazards, like an elevator, if you can or have another adult to carry the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be carried up a set of stairs or a set with their safety brake engaged. However, it's better to be safe rather than regretting.
