3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast seeking a stroller for jogging or looking for an all-purpose stroller for use in everyday life there's a compact three-wheel stroller out there for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry tested these models to the test on pavement and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the safety of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The best strollers offer features that make traveling with your child more comfortable. Whether you're shopping for a new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for convenience features like a large storage basket and a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and more. The trick is determining which features are not negotiable for you and your family and which ones you're able to do without.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It is loaded with convenient features that will keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted 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 also comes with the largest sunshade in our testing group, with a clear window up top to let kids look out while they're relaxing. And Jenni's 3 wheel tandem stroller-year-old found the seat to be comfortably cushioned, so bumps on the road won't shake him up too much.

This jogging stoller has a handbrake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into the size of a compact, slim package that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your vehicle, and it can be converted into a travel set-up with select infant car seats from brands such as Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex using the purchase of an adapter. It can also be used with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrains, solid tires are a must for strollers of all kinds. While they don't offer the same level of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're perfect for navigating bumps and potholes effortlessly.

The stroller folds up in just two simple steps. It locks into place when folded, and it's small enough to fit in the majority of elevators. It's not as simple as our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver, and the locking mechanism can be somewhat difficult to understand. It requires pressing a button near the foot area on the front of stroller, and then lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler 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 a stroller that is lighter and may offer superior performance in rough terrain. However, many parents discover that strollers with lighter weights are easier to maneuver and is more suitable for everyday use.

Another important feature of a stroller is its wheel size and the type. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as jogging ones, which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. However, larger wheels add to the overall weight of the stroller, which makes it more difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Some models in our selection come with air-filled tires, which are designed to offer a safe and comfortable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily get flat which will require you to change them out. If you intend to take your stroller on the road frequently, we recommend that you choose one with solid wheels. These tires can endure contact with various 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 common stroller injuries. They can be especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid the stairs or escalator while using your stroller, we recommend using it only when the child is securely strapped into the seat and is close to you as you walk up or down.

Some strollers are a travel system that includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. These products are often more expensive and convenient than their stand-alone counterparts and may not perform well in the long-term. Many parents regret buying bundle products because they might not include all the features they want or be incompatible with their car or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade in the near future we recommend you purchase a stroller that is separate from the car seat or capsule.

Stroller Folding

The most compact 3 Wheel Travel Stroller wheel strollers fold easily and quickly to make transport and storage effortless. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who frequently use public transportation or drive prior to taking a walks.

Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed easily in tight spaces, such as grocery store aisles or other areas that are crowded. Many are also equipped with suspension systems that give a smoother stroll for your child, which can be especially useful on sidewalks that are bumpy.

The Guava Roam is a lightweight stroller for jogging. It's elegant and can 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 folds in two steps and locks into place once opened.

Another stylish 3 wheeler pushchair-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. It's a bit more expensive than our top picks, but it's worth the investment for those who love to travel or reside in the city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a compact 20 x 17 x 7 inch size. It has five-point, non-rethread, cushioned harness. It can even be used as a pram to carry newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

Although the Babyzen comes with some nice features, such as an ample recline and additional storage space, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat isn't fully flat when reclined and there are no cups or a tray to serve snacks to children. The brakes are a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars can be too high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as possible, without the comfort or convenience. It's packed with a variety of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only drawback is that the brakes could be difficult to engage and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should ensure your child's safety while using it. The top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and cushioned crotch straps. This allows for a customised fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to shield your child's head in the event that they fall from the seat or roll off. Some strollers are equipped with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is crucial for jogging walkers, as it stops them from falling over while going up or down escalators and stairs.

In our tests, we evaluated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: a stroller's ability to bounce and turn over dips and bumps, its maneuverability when loaded with a child and its ability to travel over rough surfaces. 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 then attach and remove car seats (if applicable).

We found that 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel strollers were more maneuverable however the advantages decreased as the weight of the baby increased. This is why we suggest choosing one with a hand brake, which assists you in slowing down and come to a stop with as little effort as using body power alone. However, many of the most efficient swivel wheel strollers come with this feature and only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel models has it.

It is also important to consider how often you'll be required to use your stroller for going up and down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do so. Stairs and elevators can be more hazardous because they have 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 having another adult take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers may be carried up a set of stairs or a set with the safety brake engaged. But it's better to be safe than regretting.
