You'll Never Guess This 3 Wheel Compact Stroller's Tricks
3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review

There are three-wheel compact strollers for everyone whether you're looking for a jogging stoller or an all-purpose stroller to use every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry The models were put to the test on both road surfaces and off-road ones. They also evaluated the safety of the seats for children.

Stroller Features

The best strollers have features that allow you to travel with your baby more enjoyable. If you're shopping for a new 3-wheel or 4-wheel stroller, look for features that make life easier, such as a large storage basket, parent tray with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and much more. It's important to know which features are essential for you and your family, and those you can live without.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It is loaded with convenient features that will keep parents content and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap keeps the stroller from slipping away while you jog. The Wayfinder also comes with the largest sunshade we've seen in our test group, with a clear window at the top to let children observe the world while they rest. Jenni's three-year-old son found the seat to have comfortable cushion, so bumps in the road didn't bother him.

This jogging stoller comes with a handbrake to help you keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds into the size of a compact, slim package that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your car. Additionally, it can be converted into a travel system using certain infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex using the purchase of an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

Solid tires are crucial for strollers used on rough terrains. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires, but they're perfect for navigating bumps and potholes.

The jogging stroller folds in just two simple steps. It locks into place when folded, and it's small enough to fit in the majority of elevators. However 3 wheeled buggies 's not as simple to maneuver as our other strollers with four wheels, and the lock mechanism is a bit hazy. It requires pressing the button in the foot area on the front of stroller and then lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler system that clicks into place or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is a significant consideration. A heavier stroller tends to be more stable than one that is lighter and may offer better performance in rough terrain. However, many parents discover that a lighter stroller is easier to maneuver and more suitable for everyday use.

Another important feature of a stroller is the size of its wheels and type. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as those for jogging that makes the ride easier for your baby. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller and make it difficult to fold, transport and store.

Certain models in our collection have air-filled tires that are designed to provide a comfortable and stable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. However, air-filled tires could quickly become flat and require you to change them out. If you are planning to travel with your stroller frequently, we recommend you purchase a model with solid wheels. These tires can endure contact with various surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are ideal for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most frequent injuries to strollers. They can be especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we recommend using it only when your child is safely strapped into the seat and hold them close to you as you walk up or down.

Some strollers are sold as a complete travel system where the car seat and stroller are sold together as a single unit. While these types of products typically boast attractive price tags and provide convenience in terms of the time spent shopping, they are generally more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not perform as well over the long haul. Additionally many parents end up regretting purchasing a bundle product because it might not have all the features they would like, or it could prove to not be compatible with their car or child seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that is purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you wish to upgrade to a more sophisticated model in the near future.

Stroller Folding

The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold quickly and easily to make storage and transport easy. Some even lock in the position automatically after you open them. This feature is particularly beneficial for families that frequently take public transport or drive to take a walk.

Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed easily in tight spaces, such as grocery store aisles or other areas with a lot of people. A lot of them are equipped with suspension systems to provide an easier ride. This is especially useful on bumpy sidewalks.

If you're looking for a stroller that is jogging-friendly that won't weigh you down the Guava Roam Crossover is an excellent option. The stroller is a stylish stroller that can be used as part of a travel set-up 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 are sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks into position after opening.

A similar stroller with a nice design is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. It's a bit pricier than our top picks, however it's worth the investment If you're a lover of travel or live in an urban area. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a small 20 17x7 inch size. It comes with five-point, non-rethread, padding on the harness. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants and toddlers, if you have an infant car seat adapter.

The Babyzen is a quality product that has some great features. It has a spacious recline, and it also has extra storage. However, some parents are disappointed by its performance. The seat isn't fully flat when it's reclining, and there aren't any cups or a tray for snacks for children. The brakes can also be a little difficult to engage and the handlebars can be too high for some moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as it can without sacrificing comfort or convenience. It comes with a plethora of features, including a spacious basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue with this stroller is that the brakes are a little difficult to engage and they're not locked when the stroller has been folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller will keep your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our test have five-point harnesses with adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a customized fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head should they fall out of the seat or fall off. Some strollers come with a safety brake that locks two wheels. This is essential for jogging strollers because it prevents them from flipping over when they're going down stairs or escalators, which can be particularly dangerous for children.


In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was assessed in three different ways. We evaluated it based on a product's capability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips occur as well as its user-friendliness with a child loaded, and its ability to navigate over rough terrain. We also evaluated the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, altering its backrest and handlebar height as well as operating the brakes as well as attaching and removing 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 a model that has a hand brake, which allows you to slow down and come to a stop without as much effort than using your body alone. A majority of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this option. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers has it.

It is important to think about how often you'll be required to use your stroller to go up and down escalators or stairs, and if it's safe to do so. Stairs and elevators can be more hazardous because they have moving mechanical components which make it difficult to control your stroller. We recommend looking for alternatives to these hazards, like an elevator, if you have one, or having another adult carry the stroller up or down with you. Some of the best-rated strollers can be taken up a set of stairs or a set with the safety brake activated. But it's safer to be safe rather than sorry.
