3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review There are three-wheel strollers designed for everyone whether you're looking for a jogging stoller or an all-purpose stroller to use for every day. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the 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. Find features that simplify life for you, like a large bin for storage, a tray for parents with cups holders, adjustable canopy, and more when you are shopping for a new stroller. It's important to determine which features are essential for you and your family, and what you can live 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 can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights, and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller doesn't slide away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder also comes with the largest sunshade in our testing group and has a large, clear window at the top to let children observe the world while they rest. Jenni's 3-year old found the seat to be comfortable cushioned, so bumps on the road won't shake him up too much. This jogging stoller features the handbrake to help keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into an extremely compact and slim size that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your car. Additionally, it can convert into a travel set-up with select 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. If you're planning to tackle rough terrain, sturdy tires are a must for strollers of all kinds. Although they don't offer the same level of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're ideal to navigate potholes and bumps with ease. This stroller is a jogging model and features a fold-up that only requires two steps. It locks into position when folded, and is compact enough to fit in most elevators. It's not as easy as some of our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism can be somewhat complicated. It involves pressing a button near the foot area at the front of stroller, and then lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler system where it just 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 likely to be more stable than a lighter one and may offer more performance on rough terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller easier to maneuver and more suitable for day-to-day use. The type and size of the wheels is an important feature. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, such as jogging ones which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. However, larger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller which makes it difficult to fold or transport and store. Some models in our selection include air-filled tires that are designed to provide a comfortable and stable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily become flat, which will require you to change them out. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we suggest an option with sturdy tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last for a longer time. Strollers with front wheels that swivel are ideal for walking up and down escalators and stairs safely. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common injuries to strollers. 3 wheel buggy can be especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator or stairs with your stroller, we suggest that you only use it when the child is secured in the seat. Also keep them close to you while you walk up and down. Some strollers come as an integrated travel system that incorporates both the car seat as well as the stroller. While these products often boast attractive prices and offer convenience by the time spent shopping but they are usually more expensive than their standalone counterparts and may not perform as well over the long run. In addition many parents end up regretting purchasing a bundle because it may not include all the features they want, or it could prove to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest you select a stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat if you'd like to upgrade to a more sophisticated model in the near future. Stroller Folding The most 3 wheel strollers with a compact size fold easily and put away. Some even lock in the position automatically after you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families that frequently use public transport or drive before going on walks. Three-wheeled strollers can be maneuvered easily in tight spaces, like aisles of grocery stores or other areas with a lot of people. They are often equipped with suspension systems that provide an easier ride. This is especially beneficial on sidewalks that are bumpy. The Guava Roam is a light jogging stroller. The stroller is a stylish stroller that can also be used as part of a travel system, 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 are sold separately). The stroller folds in two steps and locks into place when it is opened. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another attractive 3-wheeled jogging stroller with a nice design. This stroller is more expensive than our top picks but is worth it if you travel frequently or live in the city. The lightweight stroller folds down to a small size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and comes with a padded, adjustable 5-point harness that is no-rethread 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 great product with a few nice features. It is spacious in its recline, and also has storage space. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied by its performance. The seat isn't fully flat when reclined and there aren't any cups or a tray to serve snacks to children. The brakes can be a bit difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many short moms. The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as lightweight as it is possible, but without losing comfort or ease of use. It's packed with a variety of features, including a spacious basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue is that the brakes could be difficult to engage and do not remain locked when the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety A stroller's safety features should help to keep your child secure during use. Some of the best-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness that has adjustable and cushioned straps for crotch. This allows for a customised fit. Some strollers come with a padded cushion that shields your child's head if they fall or roll out of their seat. Some strollers have safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for jogging strollers because it prevents them from rolling over when they're going up or down escalators or stairs, which can be particularly dangerous for children. In our tests, we evaluated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: the product's ability to turn and bounce over bumps and dips, its ease of maneuvering when loaded with a child and its ability to travel over rough surfaces. We also looked at how easy it was to open and close the safety harness fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest the height of the handlebar and brakes, and attach and take off car seats (if applicable). We have found that 3-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than four-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as baby gets heavier. This is why we suggest choosing one with hand brakes, which helps you slow down and come to a stop without as much exertion as relying on body power alone. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers don't have this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it. It's also important to think about the frequency that you will need to transport your stroller down the stairs or an escalator and whether or not it will be safe to do it while the stroller is in its the same place. Stairs and elevators can be more risky because they contain moving mechanical parts that make it difficult for you to control your stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these obstacles, like an elevator, if you can or have another adult carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the most highly-rated strollers can be carried up a set of stairs or an escalator with their safety brake engaged and locked but it's always better to be safer than not be.
