5 Qualities People Are Looking For In Every 3 Wheel Compact Stroller
3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

If you're a health-conscious person looking for a stroller for jogging or seeking a stroller that is all-purpose to use for everyday use there's a compact three-wheel stroller for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry, put these models to the test on both roads and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the safety of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The most effective strollers have features that make traveling with your child easier. If you're shopping for a brand new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller look for features that are convenient, such as large storage baskets and a tray for parents with cup holders, adjustable canopy, and more. The most important thing is to determine which features are essential to you and your family and which ones you could be content with.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for running. It comes with a variety of convenient features that will keep parents content and comfortable. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all heights, and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade that we tested and has a large, clear window on top that lets kids observe the world while they rest. Jenni's 3-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable padding, so bumps on the road didn't cause any discomfort for him.

The stroller is equipped with a hand brake that helps you control slippery surfaces. It folds into an extremely compact and slim size that takes up very little space in the trunk of your car. Additionally, it can convert into a travel system using the best infant car seats from brands such as Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex using the purchase of an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

Solid tires are a must for strollers used on rough terrains. Although they don't offer the same degree of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're ideal for navigating bumps and potholes easily.

This jogging stroller has an easy-to-use fold that takes just two steps. It locks when folded, and is compact enough to fit into most elevators. However, it's not as easy to maneuver as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the lock mechanism is a bit difficult to understand. It's as simple as pressing the button in the foot area at the front of stroller and lifting the handle. 3 wheeled pushchair 'd prefer a simpler system that clicks in place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight of a stroller is a crucial factor to consider. A heavier stroller is more stable and will perform better on uneven terrain. However, many parents find that strollers with lighter weights are easier to maneuver and is more suitable for use in everyday situations.

The size and type of the wheels is an important aspect. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, like jogging ones, which makes the ride easier for your baby. However, bigger wheels add to the overall weight of the stroller, which can make it difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Some models in our collection have air-filled wheels that offer a comfortable, stable ride to your child even on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are prone to flattening, so you will need to replace them. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend a model with solid tires that can stand up to frequent contact with various surfaces and last for a longer time.

Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are perfect to safely navigate escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent stroller injuries. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you are unable to avoid taking 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 sold as a complete travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold together as a single unit. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and offer convenience by cutting down on shopping time but they are usually more expensive than their standalone counterparts and may not perform as well over the long haul. Many parents are disappointed when they purchase a bundle product because it may not come with all the features they desire or may not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that is purchased separately from a capsule or car seat if you wish to upgrade to a higher-end model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold quickly and easily to make storage and transport a breeze. Some even lock into the position automatically after you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who frequently take public transportation or drive before going on a 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 smoother stroll for your child and can be particularly helpful on slippery sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a lightweight jogging stroller. 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, and the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller features simple two-step fold, and locks in place when opened.

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

The Babyzen is a good product with a few nice features. It has a spacious recline and has extra storage. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied by its performance. The seat isn't flat when reclined and there's no cupholders or snack trays for children. The brakes are also difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many moms who are petite.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as possible, without losing comfort or ease of use. It comes with a plethora of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue with this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to activate, and they don't lock when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

A stroller's safety features should assist in keeping your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our review have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable, padding straps for the crotch. This allows for a custom fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to safeguard your child's head in the event that they fall out of the seat or roll off. Some strollers come with safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for jogging strollers since it prevents them from rolling over when they're going up or down stairs or escalators, where they can be especially dangerous for children.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was assessed in three different ways. We scored it on the basis of a stroller's ability to bounce and turn when bumps or dips are encountered as well as its user-friendliness with a child in it and its capacity to navigate over rough terrain. We also looked at how easy it is to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest and handlebar height and brakes and attach and remove car seats (if applicable).


We found that some 3-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than the 4-wheel models However, this advantage decreases as your baby grows heavier. That's why we recommend choosing the model with hand brakes, which helps you slow down and come to a stop without as much effort as using body power alone. However, many of the most efficient swivel wheel strollers offer this feature, and only one of our top fixed-wheel models comes with it.

It is also important to consider the frequency you'll have to use your stroller for going up and down escalators or stairs, and if it is safe to do it. Stairs and elevators are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical components that make it difficult to control your stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these hazards, like an elevator, if you have one or have a person else carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the most highly-rated strollers can be carried up the stairs or an escalator with their safety brake locked and engaged but it's always safer to be safe than sorry.
