3 Wheel Compact Stroller Review
If you're a fitness fanatic seeking a jogging stroller or just looking for an all-purpose stroller for everyday use there's a compact three-wheel stroller that is suitable for you. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry tested these models to the test on pavement and off-road surfaces. They also tested the safety of the seats for children.
Stroller Features
The top strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your baby more enjoyable. If you're shopping for a new cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheel stroller or 4-wheel stroller, look for convenience features like a large storage basket as well as a tray for the parent with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and much more. It's important to know the features that are important to you and your family and those you can live without.
The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes with a variety of useful features to keep moms as well as dads happy and comfortable. The handlebar adjusts to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights and the wrist strap can help ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of the strollers we tested and a clear window on the top lets children to look out when they are resting. 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 an automatic hand brake that can help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It can be folded into a compact, slim package that takes up a small space in your car's trunk. It is also possible to transform it into an entire travel system by buying an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.
Solid tires are a must for strollers that are used on rough terrains. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as air-filled or spongy-filled tires, but they're excellent to navigate bumps and potholes.
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 most elevators. It's not as simple than our other four-wheel strollers to maneuver, and the locking mechanism is a little difficult to understand. It involves pressing a button on the front of the stroller, closing a flap that is located near the foot area, and then raising a handle. We'd like to see a simpler system that simply clicks into the position or opens when pulled.
Stroller Weight
The overall weight is a crucial aspect to consider. A stroller that is heavier is more stable and will perform better on rough terrain. However, many parents discover that strollers with lighter weights are more maneuverable and more suitable for everyday use.
Another important aspect of a stroller is its wheel size and the type. Some strollers, such as those that run on jogging have wheels that are larger and will provide a more comfortable experience for infants. Larger wheels can add weight to the stroller, making it difficult to fold, transport and store.
Certain models in our collection come with air-filled tires, which are designed to provide a comfortable and stable ride for your child even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily become flat, which will require you to change them out. If you are planning to travel a lot with your stroller, we suggest a model with solid tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last for a longer time.
Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common accidents that occur due to strollers and are particularly dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator and stairs with your stroller, we suggest that you only use it when your child is secured in the seat. Also ensure that they are 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 single unit. While these products often boast attractive prices and offer convenience by cutting down on shopping time, they are generally more expensive than their standalone counterparts and may not function as well in the long haul. Many parents regret purchasing bundle products because they may not come with all the features they would like or be incompatible with their car or child's seat. If you plan to upgrade in the near future, we recommend that you purchase a stroller that is separate from a capsule or car seat.
Stroller Folding
The most compact 3 wheel pushchairs wheel strollers fold easily and quickly to make storage and transport a breeze. Some even lock into place automatically when you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families that frequently use public transportation or drive before going on an outing.
Three-wheel strollers are designed to maneuver through tight spaces such as grocery store aisles and other crowded areas easily. A lot of them are equipped with suspension systems to provide an easier ride. This is especially beneficial on bumpy sidewalks.
The Guava Roam is a compact jogging stroller. It's an elegant 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 as well as the Uppababy Bassinet. (Car seats and stroller boards sold separately). The stroller features a simple two-step fold and locks in place when opened.
Another stylish 3-wheel jogging 3 wheel stroller stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. The stroller is more expensive than our top choices, but is worth it if often or live in a city. The stroller is lightweight and 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 a large basket. It can also be used as a pram for infants or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).
While the Babyzen offers some great features, such as a roomy recline and extra storage space, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat doesn't lay flat when it is reclining and there aren't cup holders or snack tray for children. The brakes can also be a bit difficult to activate and the handlebars can be too high for certain moms.
The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as it is possible, but without the comfort or convenience. It has an impressive list of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue is that the brakes can be difficult to engage and don't stay locked when the stroller is folded.
Stroller Safety
The safety features of a stroller must ensure that your child is safe using it. The top-scoring strollers we've reviewed come with five-point safety harnesses with adjustable and padding straps for crotch. This allows for a customized 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 a safety lock that locks both wheels. This is especially important for those who run, since it stops them from falling over when going up and down escalators and stairs.
In our tests, strollers' maneuverability was assessed in three wheeler pushchairs different ways. We evaluated it based on the ability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips occur, its ease of use with a child loaded, and its ability to travel over rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness folding and unfolding the stroller, changing the backrest and height of the handlebar and operating the brakes as being able to attach and remove car seats (if necessary).
We have found that 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than 4-wheel options, but this advantage diminishes as baby gets heavier. That's why we recommend choosing the model with hand brakes, which assists you in slowing down and stop with as little effort as relying on body power alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers don't have this feature. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it.
You should also consider the frequency you'll have to use your stroller for going up and down escalators or stairs, and if it is safe to do this. Escalators and stairs present more of a hazard because they move mechanical components, making it difficult to control the movement of the stroller. If you are able use an elevator or having a second adult assist you in carrying the stroller. Some of the best-rated strollers can be taken up a set of stairs or a set with their safety brake engaged. However, it's safer to be secure rather than regretting.
