3 wheel jogger Wheel compact 3 wheel stroller Stroller Review
There are three-wheel strollers designed for all ages whether you're seeking a jogging stoller or a stroller for all-purpose use every day. Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry The models were put to the test on roads and off-road surfaces. They also tested the safety of the seats for children.
Stroller Features
The best strollers come with features that make traveling with your child much easier. Whether you're shopping for a new 3-wheel or a 4-wheel stroller look for convenience features like large storage baskets and a tray for parents with cup holders, adjustable canopy and much more. It's important to know what features are important to you and your family, and what you can live without.
The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller, comes 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 different heights, and the wrist strap helps ensure that the stroller won't roll away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder features the biggest sunshade of the strollers we tested and a glass window on the top lets kids to peek out when they're resting. Jenni's 3 wheel stroller and car seat-year-old son found the seat to have a comfortable cushion, so bumps on the road didn't bother him.
This jogging stoller features the handbrake to help maintain control on slippery surfaces. It folds into the size of a compact, slim package that takes up a tiny space in the trunk of your car, and it can be converted into a travel system with certain infant car seats from brands like Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex by purchasing an adapter. It is also compatible with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.
Solid tires are a must for strollers used on rough terrains. They're not as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating bumps and potholes.
This jogging stroller features a fold-up that takes just two steps. It locks in place when folded, and is compact enough to fit in the majority of elevators. However, it's not as easy to move around as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the lock mechanism is a bit difficult to understand. It involves pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, closing a flap near the foot area, and then raising a handle. We'd like to see a simpler system where it just clicks into place or opens when pulled.
Stroller Weight
The weight of the overall stroller is an important factor to consider. A stroller that is heavier is more stable and will perform better on rough terrain. Many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is easier to maneuver and is more suitable for daily use.
The type and size of the wheels is another important aspect. Certain strollers, like those that run on jogging have wheels that are larger and can provide a smoother experience for infants. However, bigger wheels add to the overall weight of the stroller, which makes it harder to fold or transport and store.
Some models in our selection have air-filled wheels that offer a safe, comfortable ride to your child even on rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can quickly become flat and require you to swap them out. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller, we recommend the use of tires that can withstand regular contact with various surfaces and last for a longer time.
Strollers that have swivel wheels on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators as well as stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller-related injuries and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid the stairs or escalator in your stroller, we recommend using it only when the child is safely strapped into the seat and is close to you when walking up or down.
Some strollers are available as complete travel systems in which the car seat and stroller are sold as a unit. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and offer convenience by reducing shopping time however, they are typically more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not perform in the long haul. Many parents are disappointed when they purchase a bundle product because it may not come with all the features they would like or be incompatible with their car or child seat. We suggest you select an infant stroller that can be purchased separately from the car seat or capsule if you want to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future.
Stroller Folding

Three-wheel strollers are designed to move around tight spaces like grocery store aisles and other crowded areas with ease. They are often equipped with suspension systems that provide a smoother ride, which is especially beneficial on sidewalks that are bumpy.
The Guava Roam is a light stroller that can be used for jogging. The stroller is a stylish stroller that 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 sold separately). The stroller folds in two steps and locks in place when it is opened.
Another stylish 3-wheel jogging stroller is the Babyzen Yoyo 2. The stroller is more expensive than our top picks but is worth it if a lot or live in a city. The stroller is lightweight and folds down to a small 3 wheel stroller size (20.5 x 17.3 wheel travel stroller x 7.1) and has padding, a detachable five-point harness with no-rethread straps and a large basket. It can be used as a pram for newborns or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).
The Babyzen is a good product with some nice features. It has a spacious recline and has extra storage. However, some parents are disappointed with its performance. The seat isn't flat when reclined and there are no cupholders or snack trays for kids. The brakes are also difficult to engage and the handlebar's height is too high for many mothers who are short.
The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as it can without sacrificing comfort or ease of use. It's packed with a variety of features, including a spacious basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue is that the brakes could be difficult to engage and don't remain locked when the stroller is folded.
Stroller Safety
The safety features of a stroller must ensure that your child is safe using it. Some of the best-scoring models in our review have 5-point harnesses that are adjustable crotch straps that are padded and padded that allow for a customised fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to safeguard your child's head in the event that they fall from the seat or fall off. Some strollers are equipped with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is crucial for those who run, since it prevents them from tumbling over while walking up and down escalators and stairs.
In our tests, we rated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: the product's ability to bounce and turn over dips and bumps, its ability to maneuver when laden with a child and its ability to travel over rough surfaces. We also looked at how easy it is to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest, handlebar height and brakes and attach and remove car seats (if applicable).
We found that 3-wheel strollers were easier to maneuver, but the advantage diminished as baby weight increased. We recommend choosing one with a hand brake. It can help you slow down or stop without exerting as much effort as using your body by itself. Many of the top-scoring swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers comes with it.
It's also important to think about the frequency you'll need to take your stroller up an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator, and whether or not it's safe to do this while the stroller is in its place. Stairs and escalators pose more dangers because they move mechanical components, making it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. If you're able to choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having another adult assist you in carrying the stroller. Some of the best-rated strollers can be carried up a set or stairs with the safety brake activated. However, it's safer to be secure than regretting.
