The Most Common 3 Wheel Compact Stroller Mistake Every Beginning 3 Wheel Compact Stroller User Makes

3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

If you're a fitness fanatic looking for a jogging stroller or just looking for an all-purpose stroller for everyday use, there's a three-wheel compact stroller that is suitable for you. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, as well test the comfort of children in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that make life on the go with your child more comfortable. If you're looking for a new 3-wheel stroller or a 4-wheel stroller look for convenience features like an ample storage basket, parent tray with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and more. It's important to determine the features that are important to you and your family, and which you can do without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with a wide range of features to keep moms as well as dads content and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap keeps the stroller from slipping while you jog. The Wayfinder also has the most extensive sunshade we've seen in our test group with a clear view up top to let kids peek out while they're resting. Jenni's three-year-old son found the seat to have comfortable padding, so bumps in the road did not bother him.

This jogging stoller features a handbrake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into a slim, compact package that takes up very little 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 with the purchase of 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. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating potholes and bumps.

The jogging stroller folds in just two simple steps. It locks into position when folded and is small enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism can be a bit 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 that clicks in place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the overall stroller is a significant factor to take into account. A heavier stroller tends to be more stable than a lighter one and may offer better performance in rough terrain. However, a lot of parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and more suitable for daily use.

Another crucial aspect of a stroller is its wheel size and type. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as jogging ones which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. The larger wheels can add weight to the stroller and make it harder to fold, transport and store.

Certain models in our collection come with air-filled wheels, which provide a comfortable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can quickly become flat and require you to change them out. If three wheel pushchair intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we suggest an option with sturdy tires that can withstand regular contact with various surfaces and last for a longer time.

Strollers with swivel wheels on the front are ideal to safely navigate escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent stroller injuries. They are especially dangerous for infants. If you can't avoid using the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we advise using it only when your child is securely strapped in the seat and hold them close to you when walking up or down.

Some strollers are an integrated travel system that incorporates both the car seat and the stroller. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and provide convenience by the time spent shopping but they are usually more expensive than standalone models and may not perform as well in the long haul. Many parents regret buying bundle products because they may not have all the features they want or be incompatible with their car 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 near future.

Stroller Folding

The most 3 wheel strollers with a compact size fold easily and put away. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who frequently use public transportation or drive before going on walks.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to maneuver around tight spaces like aisles of grocery stores and other crowded areas with ease. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that offer an easier stroll for your child which is especially helpful on slippery sidewalks.

If you're seeking a jogging stroller that won't weigh you down the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent option. It's a stylish stroller which can be used as a travel system, with the matching car seat adapters for Nuna Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, and Cybex infant carseats as well as the Uppababy bassinet (car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller has a simple two-step fold and locks in place when it is opened.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another stylish 3-wheeled jogging stroller that looks nice. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks, but is worth it if often or live in a city. The lightweight stroller can fold down to a smaller size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and has a padded, adjustable, five-point no-rethread harness and a large basket. It can be used as a pram for infants or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

Although the Babyzen offers some great features, like an ample recline and additional storage, certain parents have been dissatisfied with its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when reclined and there's no cupholders or snack tray for children. The brakes are a bit difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for a lot of mothers who are short.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as it can without sacrificing the comfort or convenience. It has a long list of impressive features, such as a large basket and a one handed fold. The only issue with this stroller is that the brakes are a little difficult to engage, and they don't lock when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should ensure that your child is safe using it. Some of the best-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness with adjustable, padding straps for the crotch. This allows for a custom fit. Some strollers come with a padded cushion that shields your child's head should they roll off or fall out of their seat. Some strollers have safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for strollers that jog as it stops them from slipping when they're going up or down stairs or escalators, where they could be particularly dangerous for children.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was assessed in three different ways. We evaluated it based on the ability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips are encountered as well as its user-friendliness with a child loaded and its ability to navigate over rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness, folding and unfolding the stroller, altering its backrest and handlebar height as well as operating the brakes as well as attaching and removing car seats (if necessary).

We discovered that some 3-wheel strollers are easier to maneuver than the 4-wheel models, but this advantage diminishes as your baby grows heavier. That's why we recommend choosing one with a hand brake, which allows you to slow down and come to a stop with as little effort as relying on body power alone. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel strollers has it.

It is also important to think about the frequency that you will have to transport your stroller down the stairs or an escalator and whether it's safe to do it with the stroller in place. Escalators and stairs present more of a hazard due to the fact that they move mechanical parts which make it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. If you can choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having an adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the most highly-rated strollers are able to be pushed up the stairs or an escalator with their security brake engaged and locked, but it's always better to be safer than sorry.
