How To Make A Profitable 3 Wheel Compact Stroller If You're Not Business-Savvy
3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel strollers that fit everyone regardless of whether you're looking for a jogging stroller or an all-purpose stroller to use every day. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell as assessing the comfort of children in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers offer features that allow you to travel with your child more comfortable. Find features that make life easier including a big bin for storage, a tray for the parent with cup holders, a movable canopy and more, when shopping for a new stroller. It's crucial to decide what features are important to you and your family members and those you can live without.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for running. It is loaded with convenient features that will keep parents happy and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted 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 running. The Wayfinder also comes with the largest sunshade that we tested and has a large, clear window at the top to let children observe the world while they rest. And Jenni's 3-year-old found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road don't shake him up too much.


This jogging stoller comes with an automatic handbrake that helps you maintain control on slippery surfaces. It folds into a slim, compact package that will take up a small space in your trunk. It is also possible to transform it into an e-travel system by purchasing an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, tires are essential for any stroller. Although they don't offer the same level of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're ideal for navigating bumps and potholes effortlessly.

The jogging stroller folds in just two steps. It locks into position when folded and is compact enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism is somewhat difficult to understand. It involves pressing the button in the foot area on the front of the stroller, and then lifting the handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight of a stroller is a significant aspect to take into consideration. A heavier stroller is more stable and can perform better on rough terrain. However, many parents discover that a lighter stroller is easier to maneuver and more suitable for use in everyday situations.

The shape and size of the wheels is another important aspect. Certain strollers, like jogging strollers with larger wheels will provide a more comfortable ride for baby. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller and make it more difficult to fold and transport, as well as store.

Certain models we offer have air-filled tires that are designed to provide an enjoyable and stable ride for your child even over rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can easily get flat which will need to be changed out. If you intend to take your stroller on the road a lot, we recommend that you select a model with solid wheels. These tires can be able to withstand contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller-related injuries and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we suggest using it only when your child is securely strapped into the seat and hold them close to you when walking up or down.

Some strollers are a travel system that includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. These types of products are usually more expensive and commodious than their standalone counterparts, and they may not be as effective in the long term. Many parents are disappointed when they purchase bundles because they may not have all the features they would like or be incompatible with their car or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade your product in the future we suggest that you buy a stroller separate from car seats or capsules.

Stroller Folding

The best 3 wheel compact strollers fold up quickly and easily to make transport and storage easy. Some of them lock automatically when you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families that frequently take public transportation or drive before going on a walk.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to maneuver through tight spaces such as grocery store aisles and other crowded areas with ease. They are often equipped with suspension systems for a smoother ride, which is especially beneficial on sidewalks that are bumpy.

If you're looking for a jogging stroller that isn't heavy Guava Roam Crossover is a great alternative. The stroller is an elegant stroller that can 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 sold separately). The stroller features a simple two-step fold and locks in place when it is opened.

A similar stroller with a nice design is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks, but worth it if you travel frequently or live in a city. The stroller is lightweight and folds down to a small size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and features an adjustable, padded 5-point harness that is no-rethread and a large basket. It can also be used as a pram for newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a quality product that has some great features. It offers a large recline, and it also has extra storage. However pushchairsandprams are disappointed by its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when it's reclining, and there's no cups or a tray to serve snacks to kids. The brakes can be a bit difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for many short moms.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as it is possible, but without sacrificing comfort or convenience. It's equipped with a lengthy list of amazing features like a huge basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue 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 must ensure that your child is safe using it. Some of the best-scoring models in our test have a five-point harness with adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a customized fit. Some strollers have a padded cushion that shields your child's head if 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 run jogging as it stops them from slipping when they're going up and down stairs or escalators, where they could be particularly risky for children.

In our tests, we rated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: a stroller's ability to turn and bounce over dips and bumps its ability to maneuver when loaded with children and its capacity to traverse rough terrain. We also evaluated the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, adjusting 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 strollers with three wheels were easier to maneuver however, the advantages decreased as the weight of the baby increased. That's why we recommend choosing the model with hand brakes, which allows you to slow down and stop without as much exertion as using body power alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers do not have this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers comes with it.

It is also important to consider how often you'll need to use your stroller for going up and down escalators or stairs and if it is safe to do this. Escalators and stairs present more of a hazard because they move mechanical components, making it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these hazards, like an elevator, if possible, or having another adult take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the best-scoring strollers can be taken onto a set of stairs or an escalator with their security brakes engaged and locked however it's safer to be safe than sorry.
