There are three-wheel strollers designed for anyone regardless of whether you're seeking a jogging stoller or an all-purpose stroller to use on a daily basis. Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through the paces on both pavement and off-road surfaces as well test the comfort of children in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your child much easier. If you're looking for a new 3 wheeler pushchairs-wheel stroller or a 4-wheel stroller look for features that make life easier, such as large storage baskets, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy and much more. The key is determining what features are not negotiable for you and your family and which ones you can be content with.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for running. It comes with a variety of practical features that keep parents content and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap prevents the stroller from slipping away while you are jogging. The Wayfinder also features the biggest sunshade we've seen in our test group with a clear view at the top to let children observe the world while they rest. Jenni's three-year-old son reportedly found the seat to have a comfortable padding, so bumps in the road didn't cause any discomfort for him.

This stroller for jogging also comes with a hand brake to help you keep control on slippery surfaces. It folds into an extremely compact and slim size that takes up very little space in the trunk of your vehicle, and it can be converted into a travel system using the best infant car seats from brands including Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex using the purchase of an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 bassinet.

Solid tires are crucial for strollers that will be used on terrains that are rough. Solid tires aren't as comfortable as spongy-filled or air-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating bumps and potholes.

This jogging stroller features a fold-up that requires just two steps. It locks into position when folded and is compact enough to fit into 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 confusing. It requires pressing a button on the front of the stroller, closing a flap near the foot area, and then raising a handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that just clicks in place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight

The weight of the entire unit is a significant consideration. A heavier stroller is likely to be more stable than a lighter one and could provide more performance on rough terrain. However, many parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is more maneuverable and more suitable for everyday use.

Another crucial aspect of a stroller is the size of its wheels and the type. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as jogging ones which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. The larger wheels can add weight to the stroller and make it difficult to fold, transport and store.

Certain models in our collection include air-filled tires that are designed to offer a comfortable and stable ride for your child even over rough terrain. However, air-filled tires can easily become flat, which will require you to change them out. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we recommend a model with solid tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last longer.

Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for navigating stairs and escalators safely. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent injuries to strollers. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using the escalator or stairs while using your stroller, we recommend using it if your child is secured in the seat. Also keep them close to you as you go up or down.

Some strollers are sold as a complete travel system in which the car seat and stroller are sold as a single unit. While these types of products typically boast attractive price tags and provide convenience in terms of cutting down on shopping time but they are usually more expensive than their standalone counterparts and might not perform in the long term. Additionally many parents regret purchasing a bundle product because it might not have all of the features they want, or it could prove to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. If you are planning to upgrade your product in the future we suggest that you purchase a stroller that is separate from car seats or capsules.

Stroller Folding

The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold up quickly and easily to make transport and storage effortless. Some lock automatically into place when you open them. This feature can be especially useful for families who frequently use public transportation or drive prior to taking a walks.

Three-wheeled strollers can be pushed easily in tight spaces like grocery store aisles or other areas with a lot of people. Many are equipped with suspension systems that provide an easier ride. This is especially useful on sidewalks that are bumpy.

The Guava Roam is a light jogging stroller. It's an elegant stroller that can also be used as part of a travel set-up 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 are sold separately). The stroller folds down in two steps and locks into place once opened.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another nice-looking 3 wheeler buggy-wheeled jogging stroller. It's a bit more expensive than our top choices, but it's well worth the money if you love to travel or live in a city. The lightweight stroller can be folded down to a tiny 20 17x7 inch size. It has a five-point, no-rethread, padding on the harness. It can be used as a stroller suitable for infants or toddlers who are young, with an adapter for infant car seats.

While the Babyzen comes with some nice features, like an ample recline and additional storage space, some parents have been disappointed with its performance. The seat isn't flat when it is reclining and there aren't cup holders or snack tray for children. The brakes are a little difficult to engage and the handlebars are a bit high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction stroller is designed to be as light as is possible, yet not losing comfort or ease of use. It comes with a long list of amazing features including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue with this stroller is that the brakes are difficult to engage and they don't lock when the stroller has been folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller will keep your child safe while using it. Some of the best-scoring strollers in our review have a five-point safety harness that has adjustable and padded straps for the crotch. This allows for a customised fit. Some have a cushioned seat cushion to protect your child's head in the event that they fall out of the seat or fall off. Some strollers come with the safety lock that locks both wheels. This is particularly important for those who run, since it stops them from falling over while walking up and down escalators and stairs.

In our tests, we evaluated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: the product's ability to rotate and bounce over dips and bumps, its ease of maneuvering when loaded with children and its ability to maneuver over rough surfaces. We also assessed how easy it was to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest and handlebar height and brakes and attach and remove car seats (if appropriate).

We have found that 3-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than the 4-wheel models, but this advantage diminishes as baby gets heavier. We recommend selecting a model with a hand brake. It will allow you to slow down or stop without exerting the same effort as your body by itself. However, many of the most efficient swivel wheel strollers come with this feature, and only one of our top fixed-wheel models does.

It's also important to think about how often you will require to transport your stroller down an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator, and whether or not it's safe to do so while the stroller is in its the same place. Escalators and stairs present more dangers due to the fact that they move mechanical parts that make it difficult to control the movement of the stroller. If you can use an elevator or having an adult help you carry the stroller. Some of the top-scoring strollers are able to be taken onto the stairs or an escalator with their security brake engaged and locked but it's always safer to be safe than sorry.
