3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel compact strollers for all ages regardless of whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or a stroller that you can use for every day. The 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 a lot easier. Look for features that simplify life including a big bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and more when looking for a new stroller. It's crucial to decide which features are essential for you and your family and those you can live without.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It comes with a variety of practical features that keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights, and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller won't roll away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder also comes with the largest sunshade that we tested, with a clear window up top to let kids look out while they're relaxing. Jenni's three-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable padding, so bumps on the road did not bother him.

The stroller is equipped with an automatic hand brake that can help you maintain control on slick surfaces. It can be folded into a compact, slim package that takes only a tiny space in your trunk. You can also convert it to an entire travel system by buying an adapter. It can also be used with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you plan on tackling rough terrains, solid tires are essential for strollers of any kind. While they don't provide the same degree of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're perfect for navigating potholes and bumps easily.

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

Stroller Weight

The overall weight of a stroller is a significant factor to consider. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than a lighter one and could provide more performance on rough terrain. However, many parents find that strollers with lighter weights are easier to maneuver and is more suitable for everyday use.

The shape and size of the wheels is an important aspect. Certain strollers, such as those that run on jogging with larger wheels can offer a more comfortable experience for infants. However, bigger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller which can make it difficult to fold and transport as well as store.

Some models in our collection have air-filled wheels that offer a comfortable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily become flat, which will need to be changed out. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend a model with solid tires that can withstand frequent contact with various surfaces and last longer.

Strollers with front wheels that swivel are ideal 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 especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the escalator and stairs while using your stroller, we recommend using it when your child is secured in the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you while you walk up or down.

Some strollers come as a travel system which includes both the car seat and the stroller. While these products often boast attractive prices and offer convenience in terms of cutting down on shopping time however, they are typically more expensive than their standalone counterparts and may not perform as well in the long run. In addition many parents regret buying a bundled product as it may not come with all of the features they desire, 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 a capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future.

Stroller Folding

The top 3 wheel stroller for running wheel compact strollers fold quickly and easily to make storage and transportation easy. Some even lock in place automatically when you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families that frequently use public transportation or drive before going on walks.

Three-wheeled strollers are able to maneuver easily in tight spaces like aisles of grocery stores or other areas that are crowded. They also have suspension systems that provide an easier ride for your little one, which can be especially helpful on bumpy sidewalks.

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

Another nice-looking 3 wheel stroller cheap-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 a lot or live in the city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a small 20 x 17 x 7 inch size. It has a five-point, no-rethread, cushioned harness. It can also be used as a pram for newborns or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

While the Babyzen offers some great features, like a roomy recline and extra storage, certain parents have been dissatisfied with its performance. The seat isn't completely flat when it's reclining, and there's no cup holders or a tray for snacks for children. The brakes can also be a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars are a bit high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as it can without skimping on comfort or ease of use. It comes with a long list of impressive features like a huge basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes may be difficult to activate and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller will keep your child safe while using it. Some of the best-scoring strollers in our review have a five-point safety harness with adjustable, padding straps for the crotch. This allows for a customized fit. Some strollers have a padded cushion that shields your child's head if they fall or roll out of their seat. Some strollers have a safety lock that secures both wheels. This is particularly important for those who run, since they are less likely to fall over when going up and down escalators and stairs.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was rated in three different ways. We evaluated it on the basis of a stroller's capability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips are encountered and its comfort with a child loaded, and its ability to navigate over rough terrain. We also assessed how easy it was to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest and handlebar height and brakes, and attach and remove car seats (if appropriate).

We discovered that some lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel strollers are easier to maneuver than four-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as your baby grows heavier. This is why we suggest choosing the model with a hand brake, which helps you slow down and come to a stop without as much effort as relying on body power alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers don't have this option. Only one of our best 3 wheel pushchair-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it.

You should also consider how often you'll be required to use your stroller for going up or down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do this. Escalators and stairs present more dangers because they move mechanical parts, making it difficult to control the motion of the stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these hazards, like an elevator, if you have one, or having another adult carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be pushed up a set of stairs or an escalator, with their safety brake engaged and locked but it's always safer to be safe than sorry.
