Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor at Sentry The models were put to the test on roads and off-road surfaces. They also evaluated the comfort of the seats for children.
Stroller Features
The best strollers come with features that make traveling with your child much easier. Look for features that simplify your life including a big bin for storage, a tray for parents with cup holders, an adjustable canopy and more, when shopping for a new stroller. It's important to know what features are important to you and your family, and those you can live without.
The BOB Gear Wayfinder, our top-rated jogging stroller with a variety of useful features to keep moms and dads 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 comes with the largest sunshade that we tested and has a large, clear window at the top to let children look out while they're relaxing. Jenni's three-year-old son reportedly found the seat to have comfortable padding, which meant bumps on the road didn't cause any discomfort for him.
This jogging stoller features the handbrake to help keep your grip on slippery surfaces. It can fold into a compact, slim package that takes only a tiny space in your car's trunk.

If you're planning on taking on rough terrain, tires are a must for any stroller. Solid tires are not as comfortable as spongy-filled or air-filled tires, but they're excellent for navigating bumps and potholes.
This stroller is a jogging model and features a fold-up that requires just two steps. It locks into place when folded, and it's compact enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as simple as some of our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism can be somewhat difficult to understand. It involves clicking an icon on the front of the stroller, opening a flap that is located near the foot area, and lifting a handle. We'd prefer a simpler system that clicks in place or opens by pulling.
Stroller Weight
The weight of the entire unit is a significant consideration. A heavier stroller is more stable and can perform better on uneven terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller more maneuverable, and is more suitable for daily use.
Another crucial aspect of a stroller is its wheel size and the type. Some strollers have larger wheels, such as those for jogging, which can make the ride smoother for your baby. However, bigger wheels increase the overall weight of the stroller, which can make it harder to fold or transport and store.
Some models in our selection come with air-filled wheels, which provide a comfortable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are more prone to flattening and have to replace them. If you intend to take your stroller on the road a lot, we recommend you purchase a model with solid wheels. They can withstand contact with different surfaces more frequently and last longer.
Strollers with swivel wheels on the front are ideal to safely navigate escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most frequent stroller-related injuries. They can be particularly dangerous for infants. If you cannot avoid using an escalator or stairs while using your stroller, we recommend that you only use it when the child is securely strapped in the seat. Also, keep them close to you while you walk up or down.
Some strollers come as a travel system which includes both the car seat as well as the stroller. Although these strollers often have attractive price tags and provide convenience by the time spent shopping however, they are typically more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts and may not function as well in the long run. In addition many parents regret purchasing a bundle product because it may not come with all of the features they would like or could turn out to be incompatible with their vehicle or child's seat. We recommend you choose a stroller that is purchased separately from a capsule or car seat if you want to upgrade to a more advanced model in the near future.
Stroller Folding
The best Compact 3 wheel stroller 3 wheel strollers fold easily and to store. Some even lock into the position automatically after you open them. This feature is especially beneficial for families who regularly take public transportation or drive before going on an outing.
Three-wheel strollers are designed to move around tight spaces like aisles in grocery stores and other areas that are crowded with ease. They also have suspension systems that provide a smoother ride for your little one and can be particularly helpful on slippery sidewalks.
The Guava Roam is a lightweight stroller for jogging. It's a stylish stroller that can be used as a part of a travel system with 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 features simple two-step fold, and locks into place once 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 you travel a lot or live in the city. This stroller is lightweight and can be folded down to a tiny 20 17x7 inch size. It comes with five-point, non-rethread, padded harness. It can be used as a pram for newborns or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).
The Babyzen is a quality product with a few nice features. It offers a large recline, and it also comes with storage space. However some parents are disappointed with its performance. The seat isn't flat when reclined and there aren't cup holders or snack tray for children. The brakes can also be a little difficult to engage and the handlebars can be too high for some 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 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 best-scoring models in our review have 5-point harnesses that are adjustable, padded crotch straps that allow 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 come with a safety lock that secures both wheels. This is particularly important for walkers who jog, as it prevents them from tumbling over while going up or down escalators or stairs.
In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was rated in three different ways. We scored it based on a product's ability to turn and bounce when bumps and dips are encountered, its ease of use with a child on it and its capacity to traverse 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, operating the brakes, as being able to attach and remove car seats (if appropriate).
We found that 3-wheel strollers were easier to maneuver however the advantages decreased as the weight of the baby increased. This is why we recommend a model that has a hand brake, which allows you to slow down and come to a stop with as little effort as using body power alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers do not come with this option. Only one of our best-rated fixed-wheel strollers comes with it.
It is important to consider how often you will require to transport your stroller down a set of stairs or an escalator, and whether or not it's safe to do it with the stroller still in place. Stairs and escalators pose more of a hazard because they move mechanical parts that make it difficult to control the movement of the stroller. If you can, we recommend using an elevator or having an adult assist you in carrying the stroller. Some of the best-scoring strollers are able to be pushed up an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator with their safety brake engaged and locked, but it's always safer to be safe than sorry.
