3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review If you're a health-conscious person looking for an jogging stroller, or simply need a stroller for use in everyday life, there's a three-wheel compact stroller out there for you. The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on both pavement and off-road surfaces, aswell as assessing the comfort of children in the seats. Stroller Features The best strollers have features that make traveling with your child easier. Whether you're shopping for a new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller look for features that make life easier, such as an ample storage basket, parent tray with cup holders, adjustable canopy and more. The most important thing is to determine which features are not negotiable for you and your family and which ones you could do without. BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for running. It has many useful features that will keep parents content and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap helps keep the stroller from rolling away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder comes with the largest sunshade among the strollers we tested, and a clear window at the top allows kids to peek out when they're resting. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road won't cause him to shake. The stroller is equipped with a hand brake that helps you maintain control on slick surfaces. It folds down to the size of a compact, slim package that occupies a small space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system using the best infant car seats from brands such as Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex using the purchase of an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet. If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, tires are a must for any stroller. While they don't offer the same level of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're perfect for navigating potholes and bumps easily. This stroller is a jogging model and has an easy-to-use fold that takes just two steps. It locks when folded, and it's small enough to fit in most elevators. It's not as easy as some of our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism can be a little confusing. Pushchairs And Prams requires pressing a button on the front of the stroller, closing a flap near the foot area, and then raising the handle. We'd like to see a simpler system where it just clicks into the position or opens when pulled. Stroller Weight The overall weight is an important consideration. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than one that is lighter and can provide more performance on rough terrain. However, a lot of parents find that a lighter stroller is easier to maneuver and is more suitable for daily use. Another crucial aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Certain strollers, such as jogging strollers with larger wheels will provide a more comfortable ride for baby. The larger wheels can add weight to the stroller, making it more difficult to fold, transport and store. Certain models in our collection have wheels filled with air that provide a comfortable, 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 intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend an option with sturdy tires that can withstand regular contact with various surfaces and last for a longer time. Strollers with swivel wheels on the front are ideal to safely navigate escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common injuries to strollers. They can be especially hazardous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the stairs or escalator with your stroller, we suggest using it only when the child is safely strapped into the seat and hold them close to you when walking up or down. Some strollers can be purchased as a complete travel system that includes the car seat and stroller are sold together as a unit. While these products often boast attractive price tags and offer convenience by cutting down on shopping time however, they are typically more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not perform as well over the long term. Many parents regret buying a bundle product because it may not have all the features they want or may not be compatible with their child's car seat or. We suggest you select a stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you'd like to upgrade to a higher-end model in the near future. Stroller Folding The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold easily and quickly to make storage and transport effortless. Some even lock in position automatically when you open them. This feature is particularly useful for families that frequently take public transport or drive to walk. Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed effortlessly in tight spaces, such as grocery store aisles or other areas that are crowded. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that offer a smoother stroll for your child which is especially helpful on slippery sidewalks. The Guava Roam is a light stroller that can be used for jogging. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as part of a travel system with matching car seat adapters to fit Nuna MaxiCosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant carseats, and the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks into position after opening. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another attractive 3-wheeled jogging stroller with a nice design. This stroller is more expensive than our top picks but is worth it if often or live in a city. The stroller is lightweight and folds down to a small size (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1) and comes with padding, a detachable five-point harness with no-rethread straps and an ample basket. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants and young toddlers with an infant car seat adapter. The Babyzen is a great product with some nice features. It offers a large recline and has extra storage. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied by its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it reclines and there aren't cup holders or snack trays for kids. The brakes can be a bit difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many moms who are petite. The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as possible without skimping on the comfort or convenience. It has a long list of features that are impressive including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes are a little difficult to engage and they're not locked after 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 strollers in our review have five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and cushioned crotch straps. This allows for a custom fit. Some strollers come with a cushioned cushion that protects your child's head in the event that they roll off or fall out of their seat. Some strollers are equipped with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is crucial for walkers who jog, as it prevents them from tumbling over when going up and down stairs and escalators. In our tests, we rated the strollers' maneuverability in three different ways: the product's ability to turn and bounce over bumps and dips, its maneuverability when loaded with a child and its capacity to maneuver over rough surfaces. 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 necessary). We found that some 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than the 4-wheel models however this benefit diminishes as baby gets heavier. We recommend selecting a model with hand brakes. It can help you slow down or stop without exerting as much effort as using your body on its own. However, the majority of most efficient swivel wheel strollers come with this feature and only one of our top fixed-wheel models comes with it. It is important to think about the frequency you'll have to use your stroller to go up and down escalators or stairs, and if it is safe to do so. Elevators and stairs are more risky because they contain moving mechanical components that make it difficult to control your stroller. We recommend finding an alternative to these obstacles, 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 onto a set of stairs or an escalator with their security brake locked and engaged, but it's always better to be safer than not be.
