3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review
Whether you're a fitness enthusiast seeking a stroller for jogging or seeking a stroller that is all-purpose to use for everyday use There's a three-wheel compact stroller for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry tested these models to the test on both roads and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the comfort of the seats for children.
Stroller Features
The most effective strollers have features that allow you to travel with your child easier. If you're looking for a new 3-wheel stroller or a 4-wheel stroller look for convenience features like large storage baskets, parent tray with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and much more. It's crucial to decide what features are important to you and your family, and which you can do without.
BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for running. It has many convenient features that will keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three wheeler pushchair different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap keeps the stroller from slipping while you jog. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of all terrain 3 wheel stroller the strollers we tested, and a clear window at the top allows children to see out while they rest. Jenni's 3-year old found the seat to be comfortable cushioned, which means bumps on the road won't shake him up too much.
This jogging stoller comes with a handbrake to help you keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It folds down to an extremely compact and slim size that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system with select infant car seats from brands such as Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.
If you're planning to tackle rough terrain, tires are essential for any stroller. While they don't provide the same degree of comfort as foam-filled or air-filled tires, they're perfect for navigating bumps and potholes easily.
The stroller folds down in just two simple steps. It locks into position when folded and is small enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as some of our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver, and the locking mechanism is somewhat complicated. It requires pressing an arrow near the foot area at the front of stroller and lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler method that just clicks in place or opens by pulling.
Stroller Weight
The weight of the overall stroller is an important aspect to take into consideration. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and may offer better performance in rough terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is more maneuverable, and is more suitable for daily use.
The size and type of the wheels is another important aspect. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as those for jogging, which can make the ride smoother for your baby. The larger wheels can weigh more on the stroller, making it more difficult to fold and transport, as well as store.
Certain models we offer have air-filled tires that are designed to provide a safe and comfortable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are more prone to flattening, and you must replace them. If you are planning to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can withstand frequent contact with various surfaces and last longer.
Strollers with front wheels that swivel are ideal for navigating stairs and escalators safely. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common injuries to strollers. They can be especially dangerous for infants. If you can't avoid using an escalator or stairs with your stroller we suggest that you only use it when your child is secured in the seat. Also keep them close to you when you go up or down.
Some strollers are sold as a complete travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold as a unit. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and provide convenience by the time spent shopping, they are generally more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not function in the long run. Many parents are disappointed when they purchase bundle products because they might not include all the features they want or be incompatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest that you purchase a stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat if you wish to upgrade to a more sophisticated model in the near future.
Stroller Folding
The best 3 wheel travel system 3-wheel strollers that are compact fold easily and to store. Some even lock in the position automatically after you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families who regularly take public transportation or drive prior to taking a a walk.
Three-wheel strollers are designed to navigate around tight spaces like aisles in grocery stores and other crowded areas easily. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that provide an easier ride for your little one and can be particularly helpful on bumpy sidewalks.
The Guava Roam is a light jogging stroller. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as a travel system, with the adapters for car seats for Nuna Maxi-Cosi and Cybex infant carseats, as well as the Uppababy bassinet (car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks in place when it is opened.
Another nice-looking 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks but worth it if you travel frequently or live in a city. The stroller is lightweight and folds down to a small size (20.5 x 17.double pushchair 3 wheeler x 7.1) and has padding, a detachable, five-point no-rethread harness and an ample basket. It can be used as a stroller for infants and toddlers, if you have an infant car seat adapter.
Although the Babyzen has some nice features, including a roomy recline and extra storage space, 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 kids. The brakes are also difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for a lot of moms who are petite.
The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as is possible without skimping on comfort or convenience. It has a long list of impressive features like a huge basket and a one handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes can be a bit difficult to engage and they're not locked when the stroller is folded.
Stroller Safety
The safety features of a stroller will keep your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring products in our review feature a five-point harness with padded, adjustable crotch straps that allow for a customised fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to safeguard your child's head should they fall from the seat or roll off. Some strollers have the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is especially important for jogging walkers, as it stops them from falling over while going up or down stairs and escalators.
In our tests, we rated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: a stroller's ability to bounce and turn over dips and bumps its maneuverability when loaded with a child and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, altering the backrest and height of the handlebar and operating the brakes as also the ability to attach and remove car seats (if applicable).
We found that some 3-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than the 4-wheel models, but this advantage diminishes as baby gets heavier. That's why we recommend choosing a model that has hand brakes, which helps you slow down and stop without as much effort as using body power alone. However, the majority of top-scoring swivel wheel strollers do not come with this feature and only one of our top fixed-wheel models does.
It's also important to think about the frequency that you will require to take your stroller on a set of stairs or an escalator, and whether or not it's safe to do this with the stroller in the same place. Escalators and stairs present more of a hazard because they move mechanical parts that make it difficult to control the motion of the stroller. We suggest finding a solution to these obstacles, like an elevator, if you can or have a person else take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the best-rated strollers can be taken up a set or stairs with the safety brake activated. However, it's safer to be safe rather than sorry.
