7 Secrets About 3 Wheel Compact Stroller That Nobody Can Tell You
3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel strollers that fit anyone, whether you're seeking a jogging stoller or a stroller that you can use every day. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, as well as testing children's comfort in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that make life on the go with your baby more enjoyable. Look for features that simplify your life including a big storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy and more, when shopping for a new stroller. The most important thing is to determine which features are non-negotiable for you and your family and which ones you're able to live without.

The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with plenty of convenient features to keep moms and dads comfortable and happy. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of all sizes, and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller doesn't slide away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade in our testing group, with a clear window up top to let kids look out while they're relaxing. And Jenni's 3-year-old found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road don't cause him to shake.

This stroller for jogging also comes with an automatic hand brake that can help 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 like Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex using the purchase of an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrains, solid tires are essential for any stroller. They're not as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires but they're great to navigate bumps and potholes.

This stroller for jogging has an easy-to-use fold that takes just two steps. It locks into place when folded, and is compact enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as some of our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver and the locking mechanism is a bit confusing. It requires pressing a button on the front of the stroller, closing a flap on the foot area, and then raising the handle. We'd like to see a simpler system where it just clicks into the position or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is an important consideration. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than a lighter one and can provide more performance on rough terrain. Many parents prefer a stroller that is lighter, as it is easier to maneuver, and is more suitable for daily use.

The shape and size of the wheels is another important feature. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, such as those for jogging, which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. However, bigger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller, which makes it difficult to fold, transport, and store.

Certain models in our collection have wheels filled with air that provide a comfortable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are more prone to flattening, and you have to replace them. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend a model with solid tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last for a longer time.

3 wheeled pushchair with swivel front wheels are great for walking up and down escalators and stairs safely. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common stroller injuries. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator and stairs while using your stroller, we recommend that you only use it when your child is securely strapped in the seat. Also keep them close to you as you walk up or down.

Some strollers are a travel system which includes both the car seat and the stroller. While these types of products typically boast attractive prices and offer convenience in terms of cutting down on shopping time however, they are typically more expensive than their standalone counterparts and might not perform as well in the long run. Many parents regret purchasing bundle products because they may not have all the features they want or be incompatible with their child's car seat or. If you are planning to upgrade in the future we suggest that you purchase a stroller separately from a capsule or car seat.

Stroller Folding


The best 3 wheel compact strollers fold easily and quickly to make storage and transport a breeze. Some even lock into the position automatically after you open them. This feature can be particularly beneficial for families who regularly take public transportation or drive prior to going for a a walk.

Three-wheeled strollers are able to maneuver easily in tight spaces, such as grocery store aisles or other crowded areas. Many are also equipped with suspension systems that offer a more comfortable ride for your little one, which can be especially useful on sidewalks that are bumpy.

If you're seeking a jogging stroller that won't weigh you down Guava Roam Crossover is a good option. It's an elegant stroller that can be used as a part of a travel system with car seat adapters 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 once opened.

A similar stroller with a nice design is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. It's more expensive than our top picks, however it's worth the investment If you're a lover of travel or reside in the city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a small 20 17x7 inches size. It has five-point, non-rethread, padded harness. It can even be used as a pram for newborns or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a good product with some nice features. It is spacious in its recline, and it also has storage space. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied in its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it is reclining and there's no cupholders or snack trays for children. The brakes are a little difficult to engage and the handlebars can be too high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as it is possible, but without losing comfort or ease of use. It has a long list of amazing features, such as a large basket and a one handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to activate, and they don't lock when the stroller is folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller must ensure your child's safety while using it. The top-scoring strollers in our review have a five-point safety harness that has adjustable, cushioned crotch straps. This allows for a custom fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head in the event that they fall from the seat or roll off. Some strollers feature safety brakes that lock two wheels, which is especially important for jogging strollers since it prevents them from flipping over when they're going up or 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 capability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips occur as well as its user-friendliness with a child loaded and its capacity to travel over rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness folding and unfolding the stroller, adjusting the backrest and height of the handlebar, operating the brakes, as being able to attach and remove car seats (if necessary).

We found that strollers with 3 wheels were more maneuverable however the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. We suggest choosing a model with a hand brake. It will help you slow down or stop without having to exert as much effort as using your body on its own. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not have this option. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers has it.

It is important to think about how often you'll need to utilize your stroller to go up or down escalators or stairs, and if it's safe to do it. Elevators and stairs pose greater risk because they move mechanical parts that make it difficult to control the movement of the stroller. If you are able choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having a second adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the top-scoring strollers can be taken up a set of stairs or a set with the safety brake engaged. It's always better to be safe rather than sorry.
