3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review If you're a health-conscious person in search of a jogging stroller or just need a stroller for use in everyday life there's a compact three-wheel stroller for you. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell test the comfort of children in the seats. Stroller Features The top strollers come with features that make life on the go with your little one more comfortable. Find features that make life easier, such as a large storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy and more when looking for a new stroller. The trick is determining which features are non-negotiable for you and your family and which ones you could live without. The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with plenty of convenient features that will keep moms and dads happy and comfortable. 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 roll away when you're running. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade that we tested and has a large, 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 padding, so bumps in the road didn't bother him. The stroller is equipped with a hand brake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into a compact, slim package that takes up a small space in the trunk of your car. You can also convert it into an e-travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet. Solid tires are crucial for strollers that will be used on rough terrains. Although they don't offer the same degree of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're great to navigate potholes and bumps effortlessly. This jogging stroller has an easy-to-use fold that only requires two steps. It locks when folded, and is compact enough to fit into the majority of elevators. It's not as simple as our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism is a bit difficult to understand. It requires pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, closing a flap that is located near the foot area, and then raising a handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens by pulling. Stroller Weight The overall weight is an important consideration. A heavier stroller is more stable and will perform better on uneven terrain. However, many parents find that strollers with lighter weights are more maneuverable and more suitable for use in everyday situations. The type and size of the wheels is another important aspect. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, like jogging ones which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. However, larger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller which makes it harder to fold and transport as well as store. Some models in our selection come with air-filled wheels, which provide an enjoyable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can easily get flat which will need to be changed out. If you plan to take your stroller with you frequently, we recommend you purchase a model with solid wheels. These tires can endure contact with different surfaces more often and last longer. Strollers with swivel front wheels are great for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common accidents that occur due to strollers and are especially dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we recommend using it only if the child is safely strapped into the seat and is close to you while walking up or down. Some strollers come as a travel system that includes both the car seat and the stroller. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and offer convenience in terms of reducing shopping time but they are usually more expensive than standalone models and may not perform as well in the long term. In addition, many parents later regret purchasing a bundle because it may not come with all of the features they want or could turn out to not be compatible with their car or child seat. If you are planning to upgrade in the future we recommend you buy a stroller separate from the car seat or capsule. 3 wheeled pushchair Folding The best 3-wheel strollers that are compact are easy to fold and store. Some locks automatically lock into place when you open them. This feature is particularly useful for families who frequently take public transport or drive to go on a walk. Three-wheeled strollers can be maneuvered effortlessly in tight spaces, such as grocery store aisles or other areas that are crowded. Many are also equipped with suspension systems that offer an easier ride for your baby which is especially helpful on bumpy sidewalks. The Guava Roam is a light stroller that can be used for jogging. It's elegant and can be used as a 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 in two steps and locks into position once opened. 3 wheel buggy is another attractive 3-wheeled jogging stroller with a nice design. The stroller is more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if frequently or live in a city. This lightweight stroller folds down to a compact size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and has padding, a detachable 5-point harness that is no-rethread and an ample basket. It can also be used as a pram to carry newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter). The Babyzen is a quality product with some nice features. It offers a large recline and has extra storage. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied with its performance. The seat isn't flat when reclined and there's no cupholders or snack tray for children. The brakes can be difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many short moms. The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing comfort or convenience. It comes with a plethora of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to activate, and they're not locking when the stroller has been folded. Stroller Safety A stroller's safety features should help to keep your child safe during use. The top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with a five-point safety harness with adjustable and cushioned straps for the crotch. This allows for a custom fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to shield your child's head in the event that they fall from the seat or fall off. Some strollers have a safety brake that locks two wheels. This is essential for jogging strollers as it stops them from rolling over when they're going up and down escalators or stairs, where they can be especially dangerous for children. In our tests, we rated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: a stroller's ability to turn and bounce over dips and bumps its ease of maneuvering when loaded with a child and its capacity to maneuver over rough surfaces. We also assessed the ease of being able to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest and handlebar height, operate the brakes, and attach and take off car seats (if necessary). We discovered that strollers with three wheels were easier to maneuver however the advantages diminished as baby weight increased. We recommend choosing the model that has hand brakes. It can help you slow down or stop without having to exert as much effort as using your body by itself. A majority of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not have this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel strollers has it. It's also important to think about how often you will need to take your stroller on a set of stairs or an escalator, and whether or not it's safe to do so with the stroller in place. Escalators and stairs present more of a hazard because they move mechanical parts that make it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these obstacles, like an elevator, if you have one or have another adult take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the most highly-rated strollers are able to be taken onto an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator with their security brake engaged and locked however it's safer to be safe than to be sorry.
