3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review
If you're a fitness fanatic in search of a stroller for jogging or looking for an all-purpose stroller for everyday use, there's a three-wheel compact stroller that is suitable for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry, put these models to the test on both roads and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the safety of the seats for children.
Stroller Features
The best strollers offer features that allow you to travel with your child more convenient. Look for features that make life easier including a big storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, an adjustable canopy, and more when looking 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 could be content with.
The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with plenty of convenient features to keep moms and dads happy and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap prevents the stroller from slipping when you're jogging. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested and a clear window at the top allows children to see out while they rest. Jenni's 3 wheel baby strollers-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable cushioned, so bumps on the road won't shake him up too much.
The stroller is equipped with a hand brake to help you maintain control on slick surfaces. It can fold into a compact, slim package that will take up a small space in the trunk of your car. It is also possible to transform it into an e-travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.
If you plan on tackling rough terrains, solid tires are a must for strollers of any kind. While they don't provide the same degree of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're perfect for navigating potholes and bumps effortlessly.
The jogging stroller folds in just two simple steps. It locks in place when folded and is small enough to fit into most 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 difficult to understand. It involves pressing a button on the front of the stroller, a flap that is located near the foot area, and then raising the handle. We'd prefer a simpler system that simply clicks into the position or opens when pulled.
Stroller Weight
The weight of the overall stroller is a significant factor to take into account. A stroller that is heavier is more stable and will perform better on uneven terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and more suitable for everyday use.
Another important aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and type. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, such as jogging ones, which makes the ride easier for your baby. The larger wheels can add weight to the stroller, making it more difficult to fold and store, transport and fold.
Some models in our selection include air-filled tires that are designed to provide an enjoyable and stable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are susceptible to flattening and must replace them. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last longer.
Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for getting around stairs and escalators in a safe manner. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common injuries to strollers. They are especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator and stairs with your stroller, we recommend that you only use it if your child is secured in the seat. Also keep them close to you while you walk up and down.
Some strollers are sold as complete travel systems that includes the car seat and stroller are sold as a unit. While these types of products typically boast attractive prices and offer convenience in terms of the time spent shopping however, they are typically more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not function as well over the long term. Additionally many parents end up regretting purchasing a bundle product because it may not include all the features they would like or may turn out to not be compatible with their vehicle or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade in the near future we suggest that you purchase a stroller separately from a capsule or car seat.
Stroller Folding
The most compact 3 wheel strollers are easy to fold and to store. Some of them lock automatically when you open them. This feature is particularly beneficial for families who frequently use public transportation or take a car to go on a walk.

The Guava Roam is a compact stroller that can be used for jogging. It's elegant and can also be used as part of a travel set-up with adapters for car seats to fit Nuna, MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats, and the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller has an easy two-step fold that locks into place once opened.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as lightweight as is possible, yet not losing comfort or ease of use. It has an impressive list of features, including a spacious basket and a fold that is one-handed. The only drawback is that the brakes can be a bit difficult to engage and don't remain locked when the stroller is folded.
Stroller Safety
The safety features of a stroller must ensure your child's safety while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our review have five-point harnesses with adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow for a custom fit. Others come with a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head in the event that they fall from the seat or roll off. Some strollers come with a safety lock that locks both wheels. This is particularly important for walkers who jog, as they are less likely to fall over when going up and down stairs and escalators.
In our tests, we rated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: a product's ability to rotate and bounce over bumps and dips, its ease of maneuvering when loaded with children and its capacity to maneuver over rough surfaces. We also evaluated how easy it was to open and close the safety harness fold and unfold the stroller, adjust the backrest, handlebar height and brakes, and then attach and remove car seats (if appropriate).
We found that strollers with 3 wheel pushchair sale wheels were easier to maneuver, but the advantage diminished as baby weight increased. We recommend selecting a model with a hand brake. It can help you slow down or stop without having to exert the same effort as your body by itself. However, the majority of top-scoring swivel wheel strollers do not offer this feature, and only one of our top-rated fixed-wheel models comes with it.
It's also important to think about the frequency you'll have to take your stroller on an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator, and if or not it's safe to do so while the stroller is in its place. Stairs and elevators are more hazardous because they have moving mechanical parts that make it difficult for you to control your stroller. If you're able to choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having a second adult assist you with the stroller. Some of the best 3 wheel pushchair-rated strollers can be carried up a set of stairs or a set with their safety brake engaged. But it's better to be safe than regretting.
