This Is What 3 Wheel Compact Stroller Will Look In 10 Years Time

3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel compact strollers for anyone whether you're seeking a jogging stoller or a stroller for all-purpose use every day. The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell as assessing the comfort of children in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that make life on the go with your baby more comfortable. Find features that simplify life including a big storage bin, parent tray with cups holders, adjustable canopy and more when looking for a new stroller. The key is determining what features are not negotiable for you and your family, and which ones you can be content with.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It has many practical features that keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar adjusts 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 jogging. The Wayfinder also has the most extensive sunshade that we tested and has a large, clear window up top to let kids look out while they're relaxing. Jenni's three-year-old son found the seat to have comfortable cushion, so bumps in the road did not bother him.

This jogging stroller also has a hand brake to help you maintain control on slick surfaces. It can be folded into a slim, compact package that takes only a tiny space in your car's trunk. You can also convert it into a travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

Solid tires are a must for strollers that will be used on rough terrains. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're excellent to navigate bumps and potholes.

three wheel pushchair is a jogging model and has an easy-to-use fold that only requires two steps. It locks in place when folded, and is compact enough to fit in most elevators. However it's not as easy to maneuver as some of our other 4-wheel strollers and the mechanism for locking is a bit difficult to understand. It involves clicking a button on the front of the stroller, opening a flap near the foot area, and lifting the handle. We'd like to see a more simple system where it just clicks into the position or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight of a stroller is a significant factor to take into account. A heavier stroller is more stable and can perform better on uneven terrain. However, many parents find that strollers with lighter weights are easier to maneuver and more suitable for daily use.

The size and type of the wheels is another important feature. Certain strollers, like those that run on jogging, have larger wheels that can provide a smoother ride for babies. However, bigger wheels add to the overall weight of the stroller which can make it more difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Certain 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 quickly become flat and require you to change them out. If you intend to travel with your stroller often, we suggest that you choose one with solid wheels. These tires are able to withstand contact with various surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers that have swivel wheels on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common injuries to strollers. They can be particularly dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the escalator or stairs with your stroller, we recommend that you only use it when the child is secured in the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you when you walk up and down.

Some strollers are sold as a complete travel system where the car seat and stroller are sold as a unit. These types of products are usually more expensive and commodious than their standalone counterparts, and could not last in the long run. Additionally many parents end up regretting purchasing a bundle because it might not have all the features they want or may turn out to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest that you purchase an infant stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat if you wish to upgrade to a more sophisticated model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The most 3-wheel strollers that are compact are easy to fold and put away. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature is particularly beneficial for families who regularly take public transport or drive to walk.


Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed effortlessly in tight spaces, like aisles of grocery stores or other crowded areas. They also have suspension systems that offer a more comfortable stroll for your child, which can be especially helpful on bumpy sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a light stroller that can be used for jogging. It's a stylish stroller which can be used as a travel system with the adapters for car seats for Nuna, Maxi-Cosi and Cybex infant carseats and the bassinet for the Uppababy (car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller comes with 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. It's more expensive than our top picks, however it's worth the investment if you love to travel or live in the city. The lightweight stroller folds down to a compact 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 even be used as a pram for infants or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

While the Babyzen has some nice features, such as an ample recline and additional storage space, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when reclined and there's no cupholders or snack trays for children. The brakes can be difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many short moms.

three wheel pushchair is designed to be as light as it is possible, but without sacrificing comfort or convenience. It comes with a long list of impressive features, such as a large basket and a one handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes can be a bit difficult to engage and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should aid in keeping your child safe during use. three wheel pushchair of the top-scoring products in our review feature 5-point harnesses that are adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a customized fit. Some strollers come with a padded cushion that protects your child's head in the event that they fall or roll out of their seat. Some strollers have a safety brake that locks two wheels. This is especially important for jogging strollers as it stops them from rolling over when they're going down escalators or stairs which can be particularly risky for children.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was assessed in three different ways. We evaluated it on the basis of a stroller's ability to turn and bounce when bumps or dips are encountered, its ease of use with a child loaded and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of being able to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest the height of the handlebar and brakes, and attach and remove car seats (if necessary).

We discovered that strollers with three wheels were more maneuverable, but the advantage diminished as baby weight increased. This is why we recommend one with a hand brake that allows you to slow down and stop without as much effort as using body power alone. However, a lot of the most efficient swivel wheel strollers come with this feature, and only one of our top fixed-wheel models does.

It is important to consider the frequency you'll have to take your stroller up a set of stairs or an escalator, and whether or not it will be safe to do this with the stroller still in the same place. Elevators and stairs are more dangerous because they have moving mechanical parts that make it difficult for you to control your stroller. We recommend finding an alternative to these hazards, like an elevator, if possible or have a person else take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be carried up a set of stairs or a set with the safety brake activated. It's always better to be safe than regretting.
