Best 3 Wheel Stroller

If you're a runner searching for a stroller, or a parent just doing errands, 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheel strollers offer plenty of flexibility. A lot of them have the same features of 4-wheel strollers such as storage, a child tray, and a parent console.

Guide writers put these strollers to the test on the pavement and off, evaluating how smooth they ride. They also examined comfort and convenience features like a seat that reclines completely.

The Chariot Cross

Thule crafted the Chariot Cross for families who aren't content in the inside, and they created it with a solid structure that allows them to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about their children' safety or comfort. The adjustable suspension of the Chariot allows you to tailor the ride to suit your child's preferences and level of readiness to take on new adventures.

The Chariot Cross is popular among joggers for its smooth ride and outstanding manoeuvrability on all terrain types. It's got plenty of storage space, including a cargo basket that can be tucked away to reduce interference with your running stride. It's a great option for families who want to mix outdoor activities since it can be used with biking, strolling and skiing kits (all sold separately).

One thing that makes the Chariot apart from other top-rated strollers is its excellent comfort for passengers. The seats are cushioned on the shoulders and sides, and passengers can adjust their seats to find the ideal position to rest or take in the scenery. The mesh ventilation on the Chariot lets passengers enjoy a cool breeze which makes it an ideal choice for hot temperatures.

The Chariot also has the benefit of allowing the front and rear of the seat to recline independently. This is a great feature for older children who wish to stretch or read on long journeys. The Chariot Cross has a large rear canopy and an open-air panel, unlike the D'Lite that only has an uninspiring front panel.

The Chariot Cross as with other Thule products is easy to put together. The instructions are simple and the entire process takes between 30-45 minutes. It is small enough to be gate-checked on planes, and it can be folded down for easy transportation in your car.

The only downside is that the Chariot isn't compatible with baby car seats, which might make it less appealing to some parents. If you're looking for a double stroller that can be used with car seat carriers, then you should look into the Joovy twin 3 wheel stroller Roo+. It's a similar product that accepts a broad variety of infant car seat brands, however it's more expensive and doesn't offer the same smooth ride like the Chariot.

The Evenflo Pivot Xplore

Evenflo's Pivot All-Terrain Modular Stroller Wagon is the perfect choice for weekend getaways or play adventures. It's easy to move your child in comfort. With a simple flip of the handle, this wagon can be transformed to be a push stroller or pull as a wagon, and can accommodate two kids as young as five in the front seat or a car seat adapter (sold separately). All-terrain wheels can go wherever you do, so it's easy to navigate sidewalks, paths made of gravel, and other rough terrains.

The Xplore features a huge storage basket as well as a dual-sided snack tray so you can keep toys, snacks and other things close to hand. It's also much easier to fold and unfold than some other models, although we did find that it took a bit longer than the typical wagon. The color indicator on the visual side will let you know when the wagon has been folded and locked.

This stroller wagon is a good option for parents who are looking for an option that can be used to transport nap time. A bassinet is included for infants 6 months old or less and the UPF 50+ canopy can be expanded from two panels to three by the quick unzip. This will provide greater protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. The footwell is also upgraded with more room for active toddlers.

If you don't need a reclining seat for your toddler, you can swap out the child seat included for a bench-style backrest that will allow them to sit up higher and view the sights more easily. The Xplore can also be used with the majority of brands of infant car seats, which provides convenience and security for all the family members.

The 3D Lite

This stroller is a great option for parents looking for an ultra-compact, lightweight, affordable travel stroller. Summer Infant's 3D Lite, weighing just over 14 pounds, is their lightest stroller. It comes with a variety of features for your little child, such as the ability to recline in multiple positions as well as a 5-point safety harness. For parents the 3D Lite has plenty of storage space as well as convenient features like a cup for children, a tray and snack holder, a parent cup holder with a zippered pocket, as well as cushioned handles for ease of use.

The Lite's light-weight design makes it easy to push and maneuver. It scored well in our Strollers Test Program. It scored Very Good marks in terms of the ease of use and maneuverability. It also scored well in the Stroller Safety Category, which includes features that ensure your child is secure and safe such as locking brakes and adjusting the safety harness folding and unfolding, and attaching and removing the car seat that is compatible with it.

It is important to note that folding the Lite requires some balance. To do this, you need to lift the lever that is located in the middle of the stroller, then step on another lever with your foot and then press down on the handle using the other hand. This process takes around 4 seconds which is slower than other lightweight strollers that we've test.

In addition, while the Lite is a fantastic travel stroller with a small footprint and a convenient carry strap, it's not folded as compactly as some other strollers we've tested. The Bugaboo Ant and Babyzen YOYO+ both fold smaller to fit inside overhead bins on airplanes.

The Lite isn't convertible to double strollers and does not come with a ride along board for older children. If you're seeking a double stroller or something that can accommodate more than one child, we recommend reading our Top 5 Choices for the Top Double Stroller or our Guide to the Top Double Strollers. With a cost under $150, the Lite is a solid choice for parents looking for a stroller for travel that has an umbrella-style fold and a variety of features for their little one.
