You'll Never Guess This 3 Wheel Compact Stroller's Tricks
3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review
Whether you're a fitness enthusiast looking for an jogging stroller, or simply seeking a stroller that is all-purpose to use for everyday use there's a compact three-wheel stroller that is suitable for you. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on both pavement and off-road surfaces, as well as assessing the comfort of children in the seats.
Stroller Features
The best strollers offer features that make traveling with your child more enjoyable. If you're looking for a new 3 wheeled buggy-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller, look for convenience features like large storage baskets, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy and more. 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 that will keep moms and dads comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different sizes, and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of the strollers we tested and a glass window at the top allows kids to peek out when they're resting. Jenni's 3 wheel twin stroller-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road don't shake him up too much.
The stroller is equipped with a hand brake that helps you maintain control on slick surfaces. It folds down to an extremely compact and slim size that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your car. Additionally, it can be converted into a travel set-up with the best infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.
If you plan on tackling rough terrain, tires are essential for any stroller. Although they don't offer the same degree of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're ideal for navigating bumps and potholes easily.
The stroller folds down in just two steps. It locks into position when folded, and is compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. It's not as simple as our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver, and the locking mechanism is somewhat difficult to understand. It involves pressing a button on the front of the stroller, a flap near the foot area, and then raising a handle. We'd like to see a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens when pulled.
Stroller Weight
The overall weight is a crucial aspect to consider. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and could provide superior performance in rough terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and more suitable for day-to-day use.
Another important aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and type. Some strollers come with larger wheels, like jogging ones that can make the ride smoother for your baby. However, bigger wheels add to the overall weight of the stroller, which can make it more difficult to fold and transport as well as store.
Certain models in our collection include air-filled tires that are designed to offer a comfortable and stable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Air-filled tires are prone to flattening and will need to replace them. If you intend to take your stroller on the road frequently, we recommend you purchase one with solid wheels. They can withstand contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.
Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are ideal for safely navigating escalators as well as stairs. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most frequent stroller-related injuries and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the escalator or stairs with your stroller, we suggest that you only use it when your child is safely strapped into the seat. Also ensure that they are close to you when you go up or down.
Some strollers are a travel system that includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. These products are often more expensive and convenient than their separate counterparts and could not last in the long term. Many parents regret purchasing bundles because they may not come with all the features they desire or be incompatible with their car or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade your product in the future we suggest that you purchase a stroller separately from the car seat or capsule.
Stroller Folding
The most 3 wheel push chair-wheel strollers that are compact fold easily and put away. Some of them lock automatically when 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 can be maneuvered effortlessly in tight spaces, like grocery store aisles or other areas that are crowded. They are often equipped with suspension systems for a smoother ride, which is particularly useful on sidewalks that are bumpy.
If you're looking for a jogging stroller that doesn't weigh you down Guava Roam Crossover is a good alternative. It's a good-looking stroller that can be used as a travel system with the car seat adapters for Nuna Maxi-Cosi and Cybex infant carseats as well as the bassinet for the Uppababy (car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller features simple two-step fold, and locks into place once opened.
The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another nice-looking 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeled jogging stroller. This stroller is more expensive than our top picks, but is worth it if a lot or live in a city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a compact 20 17x7 inches size. It has five-point, non-rethread, cushioned harness. It can be used as a stroller for infants or toddlers who are young, with an infant car seat adapter.
The Babyzen is a great product with some nice features. It is spacious in its recline, and also has extra storage. However some parents are disappointed by its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when reclined, and there are no cups or a tray to serve snacks to kids. The brakes can also be difficult to engage and the handlebars are a bit high for some moms.
The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as possible without skimping on comfort or ease of use. It comes with a plethora of features, including a spacious basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside is that the brakes may be a bit difficult to engage and don't remain locked when the stroller is folded.
Stroller Safety
A stroller's safety features will assist in keeping your child safe during use. Some of the best-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and cushioned straps for the crotch. This allows for a custom fit. Some strollers come with a cushioned cushion that shields your child's head should they fall or roll out of their seat. Some strollers come with safety brakes that lock two wheels. This is particularly important for strollers that run jogging since it prevents them from slipping when they're going down escalators or stairs, where they can be especially risky for children.
In our tests, we rated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: the product's ability to turn and bounce over dips and bumps, its maneuverability when loaded with children and its capability to travel over rough surfaces. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness, folding and unfolding the stroller, altering its backrest and handlebar height and operating the brakes as well as attaching and removing car seats (if applicable).
We found that some 3 wheel stroller-wheel strollers are easier to maneuver than 4-wheel options, but this advantage diminishes as your baby grows heavier. We recommend selecting one with hand brakes. It can help you slow down or stop without putting in as much effort as using your body alone. However, the majority of top-scoring swivel wheel strollers do not come with this feature, and only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel models does.
It's important to consider the frequency that you will need to transport your stroller down the stairs or an escalator, and if it's safe to do it while the stroller is in its position. Stairs and elevators are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical parts which make it difficult to control your stroller. If you're able to choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having a second adult help you carry the stroller. Some of the best-rated strollers can be carried up a set of stairs or a set with their safety brake engaged. However, it's safer to be safe rather than regretting.
