3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast looking for an jogging stroller, or simply looking for an all-purpose stroller for use in everyday life there's a compact three-wheel stroller that is suitable for you. The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell as testing children's comfort in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that make traveling with your child easier. If you're looking for a new 3-wheel stroller or a 4-wheel stroller look for features that are convenient, such as a large storage basket and a tray for parents with cup holders, adjustable canopy and more. The key is determining what features are non-negotiable for you and your family, and which ones you're able to be content with.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with a wide range of features to keep moms and dads content and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap helps keep the stroller from slipping away while you jog. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade of the strollers we tested, and a large, clear window on the top lets children to see out while they rest. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortably cushioned, so bumps on the road won't shake him up too much.

The stroller is equipped with a hand brake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It can fold into a slim, compact package that will take up little space in the trunk of your car. You can also convert it to an e-travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrains, solid tires are a must-have for any stroller. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires, but they're perfect for navigating bumps and potholes.

This stroller for jogging comes with a fold that only requires two steps. It locks when folded, and is compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. However, it's not as easy to maneuver as some of our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism to lock it is a bit difficult to understand. It requires pressing the button in the foot area on the front of stroller and then lifting the handle. We'd like to see a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the overall stroller is a crucial aspect to take into consideration. A heavier stroller tends to be more stable than a lighter one and may offer more performance on rough terrain. However, many parents discover that a lighter stroller is more maneuverable and more suitable for use in everyday situations.

3 wheel buggy of a stroller is its wheel size and the type. Certain strollers, like those that run on jogging have wheels that are larger and will provide a more comfortable ride for baby. However, bigger wheels add to the overall weight of the stroller which can make it difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Certain models we offer include air-filled tires that are designed to provide a safe and comfortable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Air-filled tires are prone to flattening, so you will need to replace them. If you intend to take your stroller on the road frequently, we recommend that you choose one with solid wheels. They can withstand contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers that have swivel wheels on the front are perfect to safely navigate escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent stroller-related injuries and can be particularly dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we suggest using it only if the child is safely strapped into the seat and is close to you while walking up or down.

Some strollers are a travel system which 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. Additionally, many parents later regret buying a bundled product as it may not include all the features they want or could turn out to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. If you want to upgrade your product in the future we recommend you purchase a stroller that is separate from car seats or capsules.

Stroller Folding

The best compact 3 wheel strollers fold easily and put away. Some even lock into the position automatically after you open them. This feature can be especially beneficial for families who regularly use public transportation or drive prior to going for a an outing.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to navigate around tight spaces like aisles in grocery stores and other crowded areas easily. Many are also equipped with suspension systems that give a more comfortable ride for your baby which is especially helpful on slippery sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a lightweight stroller for jogging. 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.

A similar stroller with a nice design is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. It's a bit more expensive than some of our top picks, however it's worth the cost if you love to travel or live in an urban area. This stroller is lightweight and can be folded down to a tiny 20 17x7 inches size. It comes with a five-point, no-rethread, padding on the harness. It can be used as a stroller for newborns and young toddlers with an adapter for infant car seats.

The Babyzen is a quality product that has some great features. It offers a large recline and has storage space. However some parents are disappointed by its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when it is reclining and there's no cupholders or snack trays for children. The brakes are difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for a lot of moms who are petite.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as is possible without sacrificing comfort or ease of use. It has a long list of features that are impressive like a huge basket and a one-handed fold. The only drawback is that the brakes may be difficult to activate and don't remain locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety


A stroller's safety features will help to keep your child secure during use. Some of the best-scoring strollers in our review have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and padded straps for crotch. This allows for a customized fit. Some strollers come with a cushioned cushion that protects your child's head should they fall off or roll out of their seat. Some strollers come with safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is particularly important for strollers that jog since it prevents them from slipping when they're going up or down stairs or escalators, which can be particularly risky for children.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was assessed in three different ways. We rated it based on the capability to turn and bounce when bumps or dips are encountered as well as its user-friendliness with a child on it and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, changing the height of its backrest and handlebar as well as operating the brakes as also the ability to attach and remove car seats (if applicable).

We discovered that some 3-wheel strollers are easier to maneuver than four-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as your baby grows heavier. We recommend choosing a model with hand brakes. It will allow you to slow down or stop without putting in the same amount of effort as your body by itself. However, the majority of most efficient swivel wheel strollers come with this feature, and only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel models comes with it.

It is important to consider how often you will need to transport your stroller down the stairs or an escalator, and if it's safe to do so while the stroller is in its position. Elevators and stairs are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical parts which make it difficult to control your stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these hazards, like an elevator, if you have one or have another adult to carry the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be taken up a set of stairs or a set with the safety brake activated. However, it's safer to be safe than regretting.
