3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review There are three-wheel strollers designed for everyone regardless of whether you're looking for a jogging stoller or an all-purpose stroller to use for every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry The models were put to the test on roads and off-road surfaces. They also tested the comfort of the seats for children. Stroller Features The best strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your child much easier. Find features that simplify your life for you, like a large storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy and more, when shopping for the latest stroller. It's important to know the features that are important to you and your family and what you can live without. BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It comes with a variety of useful features that will keep parents happy and comfortable. 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 features the biggest sunshade among the strollers we tested, and a clear window on the top lets kids to peek out while they rest. Jenni's three-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable padding, so bumps on the road did not cause any discomfort for him. This jogging stoller features a handbrake to help you keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It can be folded into a compact, slim package that will take up little space in your trunk. It is also possible to transform it into an e-travel system by purchasing an adapter. It can also be used with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet. If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, tires are a must-have for strollers of any kind. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as spongy-filled or air-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating bumps and potholes. The stroller folds up in just two steps. It locks into position when folded, and is compact enough to fit in most elevators. It's not as simple than our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver and the locking mechanism can be a little confusing. It involves pressing a button near the foot area at the front of stroller and lifting 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 overall stroller is an important aspect to take into consideration. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than one that is lighter and can provide better performance in rough terrain. However, a lot of parents find that strollers with lighter weights are easier to maneuver and is more suitable for use in everyday situations. Another crucial aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Certain strollers, such as jogging strollers have wheels that are larger and can offer a more comfortable ride for baby. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it difficult to fold and transport, as well as store. Certain models in our collection 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, and you have to replace them. If you plan to take your stroller with you frequently, we recommend that you choose one with solid wheels. They can be able to withstand contact with various surfaces more frequently and last longer. Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common stroller injuries. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator and stairs with your stroller, we recommend using it when the child is securely strapped in the seat. Also, keep them close to you as you walk up and down. Some strollers are a travel system which includes both the car seat and the stroller. These products are often more expensive and convenient 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 include all of the features they desire or may turn out to be incompatible with their vehicle or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade your product in the future we recommend you purchase a stroller separately from the car seat or capsule. Stroller Folding The most compact 3 wheel strollers fold up quickly and easily to make storage and transport easy. Some even lock into place automatically when you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who frequently use public transportation or take a car to take a walk. Three-wheeled strollers are able to maneuver easily in tight spaces, like grocery store aisles or other areas with a lot of people. Many are also equipped with suspension systems that provide a more comfortable stroll for your child, which can be especially useful on sidewalks that are bumpy. If you're seeking a jogging stroller that isn't heavy, the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent alternative. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as a travel set-up with the matching car seat adapters for Nuna, Maxi-Cosi and Cybex infant carseats, as well as the Uppababy bassinet (car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller has an easy two-step fold that locks in place when it is opened. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another attractive 3-wheeled jogging stroller with a nice design. It's a bit pricier than some of our top choices, but it's worth the investment if you love to travel or reside in the city. This lightweight stroller can fold down to a smaller size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and has a padded, adjustable 5-point harness that is no-rethread and an ample basket. It can be used as a pram for newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter). The Babyzen is a great product with some nice features. It has a spacious recline and comes with storage space. However some parents are disappointed by its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when reclined and there are no cup holders or a tray for snacks for kids. The brakes can also be a little difficult to engage and the handlebars can be too high for some moms. The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as lightweight as is possible, yet not sacrificing comfort or convenience. 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 activate, and they're not locked when the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety A stroller's safety features should aid in keeping your child safe during use. The top-scoring strollers in our review have a five-point safety harness that has adjustable and padding straps for crotch. This allows for a custom fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to shield your child's head should they fall from the seat or roll off. Some strollers have 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 up and down escalators or stairs where they could be particularly dangerous for children. In our tests, we rated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: a stroller's ability to bounce and turn over bumps and dips, its ability to maneuver 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 its backrest the height of the handlebar, operate the brakes, and attach and remove car seats (if applicable). Pushchairs And Prams discovered that some 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than four-wheel models However, this advantage decreases when your baby becomes heavier. This is why we suggest choosing the model with a hand brake, which assists you in slowing down and come to a stop without as much effort than using your body alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers don't have this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers has it. It is also important to think about the frequency you'll require to transport your stroller down the stairs or an escalator, and whether it's safe to do it while the stroller is in its place. Stairs and elevators can be more hazardous because they have moving mechanical parts that make it difficult to control your stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these obstacles, like an elevator, if you have one, or having another adult take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be carried up a set or stairs with the safety brake activated. But it's safer to be secure than sorry.
