3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review There are three-wheel compact strollers for everyone whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or an all-purpose stroller to use on a daily basis. 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 top strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your little one more enjoyable. Find features that simplify your life including a big bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, a movable canopy, and more when looking for a new stroller. It's important to know the features that are important to you and your family members and which you can do without. The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with plenty of convenient features to keep moms and dads happy and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different sizes and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller won't roll away when you're running. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade of the strollers we tested, and a clear opening at the top that allows children to see out while they rest. Jenni's three-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable padding, which meant bumps in the road didn't cause any discomfort for him. This jogging stroller also has an automatic hand brake that can help you maintain control on slick surfaces. It folds to a slim, compact package that occupies a small space in the trunk of your car. Additionally, it can convert into a travel set-up with the best infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet. If you plan on tackling rough terrains, solid tires are a must for strollers of any kind. They're not as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're perfect for navigating bumps and potholes. This jogging stroller has an easy-to-use fold that takes just two steps. It locks in place when folded and is small enough to fit into most elevators. However it's not as easy to move around as our other 4-wheel strollers and the lock mechanism is a bit hazy. It involves pressing 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 simpler system where it just clicks into place or opens when pulled. Stroller Weight The weight of the entire unit is a crucial aspect to consider. A stroller that is heavier is more stable and will perform better on uneven terrain. However, many parents discover that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and is more suitable for use in everyday situations. Another important aspect of a stroller is its wheel size and type. 3 wheeler pushchair have bigger wheels, such as jogging ones which can make the ride smoother for your baby. However, larger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller which can make it more difficult to fold, transport, and store. Some models in our selection have air-filled wheels that offer an enjoyable, stable ride to your child even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires could quickly become flat and need to be changed out. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can withstand frequent contact with various surfaces and last longer. Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for navigating stairs and escalators safely. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller-related injuries. They can be particularly dangerous for infants. If 3 wheel buggy cannot avoid taking the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we recommend using it only if the child is safely strapped into the seat and hold them 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 are typically more expensive and convenient than their stand-alone counterparts and may not perform well in the long term. Additionally, many parents later regret purchasing a bundle product because it may not include all the features they want, or it could prove to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest you select an infant stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you want to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future. Stroller Folding The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold easily and quickly to make transport and storage a breeze. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who frequently take public transport or drive to take a walk. Three-wheel strollers are designed to move around tight spaces like aisles of grocery stores and other crowded areas with ease. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that give an easier ride for your little one, which can be especially helpful on slippery sidewalks. If you're seeking a jogging stroller that doesn't weigh you down the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent option. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as a travel system, with the car seat adapters for Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex infant carseats as well as the bassinet for the Uppababy (car seats and stroller board sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks in place when it is opened. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another stylish 3-wheeled jogging stroller that looks nice. It's a bit pricier than some of our top picks, however it's worth the cost for those who love to travel or reside in the city. This stroller is lightweight and can be folded down to a small 20 x 17 x 7 inch size. It comes with five-point, non-rethread, padded harness. It can be used as a stroller for infants and young toddlers with an infant car seat adapter. While the Babyzen offers some great features, including the spacious recline and the extra storage space, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat isn't completely flat when it's reclining, and there aren't any cup holders or a tray for snacks for kids. The brakes are a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars are a bit high for certain moms. The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as possible, without losing comfort or ease of use. It's equipped with a lengthy list of amazing features, such as a large basket and a one handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes may be difficult to engage and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety The safety features of a stroller should keep your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers we've reviewed have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable, cushioned straps for the crotch. This allows for a customised fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to safeguard your child's head should they fall out of the seat or fall off. 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 while walking up and down escalators or stairs. In our tests, we rated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: a stroller's ability to bounce and turn over bumps and dips, its ease of maneuvering when loaded with children and its capability to maneuver over rough surfaces. We also evaluated the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, altering the height of its backrest and handlebar and operating the brakes as being able to attach and remove car seats (if appropriate). We discovered that some 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than four-wheel models, but this advantage diminishes as baby gets heavier. That's why we recommend choosing the model with hand brakes, which helps you slow down and stop with as little effort than using your body alone. A majority of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not have this option. Only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it. You should also consider the frequency you'll have to use your stroller to go up or down escalators or stairs, and if it is safe to do this. Elevators and stairs pose more of a hazard because they move mechanical components which make it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these obstacles, such as an elevator, if you have one or have another adult carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers are able to be taken onto a set of stairs or an escalator, with their safety brakes engaged and locked however it's safer to be not be.
