3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review There are three-wheel strollers that fit all ages whether you're seeking a jogging stoller or a stroller that you can use for every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry tested these models to the test on roads and off-road surfaces. They also tested the safety of the seats for children. Stroller Features The top strollers come with features that make traveling with your child more comfortable. Look for features that simplify life for you, like a large storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and more when looking for the latest stroller. The trick is determining which features are not negotiable for you and your family, and which ones you could do without. The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with a variety of useful features to keep moms and dads comfortable and happy. 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 slide away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested, and a large, clear window at the top allows kids to peek out when they're resting. Jenni's 3-year-old son found the seat to have comfortable padding, so bumps in the road didn't bother him. This jogging stoller has the handbrake to help keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds to a slim, compact package that takes up very little space in the trunk of your vehicle, and it can convert into a travel set-up with 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. 3 wheeled pushchair are essential for strollers that will be used on terrains that are rough. They're not as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're excellent to navigate bumps and potholes. This stroller for jogging features a fold-up that takes just two steps. It locks when folded, and is small enough to fit in the majority of elevators. However it's not as simple to maneuver as some of our other 4-wheel strollers and the mechanism to lock it is a bit confusing. It requires pressing a button on the front of the stroller, a flap near the foot area, and lifting the handle. We'd like to see a more simple system where it just clicks into place or opens when pulled. Stroller Weight The weight of the overall stroller is an important factor to take into account. A heavier stroller is more stable and can perform better on rough terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller more maneuverable, and more suitable for day-to-day use. Another crucial aspect of a stroller is its wheel size and the type. Certain strollers, like those that run on jogging have wheels that are larger and can offer a more comfortable ride for baby. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it more difficult to fold, transport and store. Some models in our selection come with air-filled wheels, which provide an enjoyable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are prone to flattening and have to replace them. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we suggest the use of tires that can stand up to frequent contact with different surfaces and last for a longer time. Strollers with front wheels that swivel are ideal for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent stroller-related injuries. They are especially hazardous for infants. If you can't avoid taking the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we advise using it only when the child is securely strapped in the seat. 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. These are typically more expensive and commodious than their standalone counterparts, and they may not be as effective in the long-term. Additionally many parents regret purchasing a bundle product because it may not include all of the features they want or could turn out to not be compatible with their vehicle or child seat. We recommend you choose an infant stroller that can be purchased separately from a capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a more sophisticated model in the near future. Stroller Folding The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold up quickly and easily to make storage and transportation effortless. Some even lock in position automatically when you open them. This feature can be especially useful for families who frequently take public transportation or drive prior to going for a an outing. Three-wheel strollers are designed to maneuver through tight spaces such as grocery store aisles and other crowded areas easily. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that offer an easier ride for your little one, which can be especially helpful on bumpy sidewalks. If you're looking for a jogging stroller that won't weigh you down Guava Roam Crossover is a good alternative. It's a stylish stroller that can also be used as 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 sold separately). The stroller features a simple two-step fold and locks in place when opened. Another stylish 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. This stroller is more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if you travel frequently or live in a 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 harness with no-rethread straps and a large basket. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants and young toddlers with an infant car seat adapter. Although the Babyzen has some nice features, such as the spacious recline and the extra storage, some parents are dissatisfied with its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when it's reclining, and there are no cups or a tray for snacks for children. The brakes are also a bit difficult to engage, and the handlebar height is too high for many short moms. The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that's designed to be as light as it can without sacrificing the comfort or convenience. It comes with a long list of amazing features including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue is that the brakes could be difficult to engage and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded. Stroller Safety A stroller's safety features will aid in keeping your child safe during use. 3 wheel buggy of the top-scoring strollers in our review feature 5-point harnesses that are adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a customized fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to shield 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 especially important for strollers that jog since it prevents them from slipping when they're going up or down escalators or stairs which can be particularly 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 and dips are encountered, its ease of use with a child on it 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 its backrest and handlebar height and operating the brakes as also the ability to attach and remove car seats (if appropriate). We have found that 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than four-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as baby gets heavier. We recommend selecting one with a hand brake. It will help you slow down or stop without having to exert the same amount of effort as your body alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this feature. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers has it. You should also 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 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 top-scoring 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.
