Best 3 Wheel Stroller

Three-wheel strollers are ideal for parents who run errands or runners. Many 3-wheel strollers have the same features as the 4-wheel ones including storage, a tray for the child, and a console for parents.

Guide writers put these strollers to the test on pavement and off, evaluating how smooth they ride. They also looked for comfort and convenience features like a reclined seat.

The Chariot Cross

Thule designed the Chariot Cross to allow families to explore the outdoors, without worrying about their children's safety or comfort. The adjustable suspension of the Chariot allows you to customize the ride to suit your child's preferences and willingness to embark on new adventures.

The Chariot Cross is popular among runners due to its smooth ride and exceptional maneuverability across all terrains. It has plenty of storage, including a cargo basket that can be tucked away to minimize interference with your stride. It's a great choice for families who want to combine outdoor activities, because it can be used with strolling, biking and skiing kits (all sold separately).

The Chariot is distinct from other 3 wheel strollers due to its exceptional passenger comfort. The seats are well-padded on the shoulders and sides and the users can adjust the reclining seats to find the perfect spot for napping or enjoying the view. They can also enjoy a breeze because of the mesh ventilation of the Chariot that makes it a great option for hot temperatures.

Another benefit of the Chariot is that the front and back of the seat can recline independently of one another It's a nice feature for older children who wish to relax or read during longer journeys. The Chariot Cross has a large rear canopy, as well as an open-air panel, unlike the D'Lite that only has an uninspiring front panel.

The Chariot Cross Like other Thule products, is simple to put together. The instructions are straightforward and the entire process takes 30 to 45 minutes. It's even small enough for gate check when traveling by plane, and it can be folded down for easy transportation in the back of your car.

The only drawback is that the Chariot doesn't accept any infant car seats, which could restrict its appeal to certain parents. However, if you're looking for a double stroller that can be used with car seat carriers, you should look into the Joovy Twin Roo+. It's a similar product that accepts a range of infant car seat brands however it is 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 ideal for weekend getaways or play adventures. It's easy to transport your child in comfort. The wagon can be converted into a stroller simply by flipping the handle. It can be used as a wagon to accommodate two children up to age five in the front seat, or using the car seat adapter. All-terrain wheels travel wherever you go, making it easy to navigate sidewalks, gravel paths 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 items in close proximity. It's also much easier to fold and unfold than other models, although we did find that it took longer than the average wagon. The indicator's visual color will let you know when the wagon has been folded and locked.

This stroller wagon is a good alternative for parents seeking an option that can be used to transport naps. A bassinet is provided for babies who are 6 months or less, and the UPF 50+ canopy can be enlarged from two panels to three wheeled buggies with the quick unzip. This will give you more protection from sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. The footwell is also upgraded with more space for active toddlers.

If you don't need a reclining seat for your toddler you can exchange the child seat that comes with it for a bench-style seat to let them sit higher and view the sights more easily. The Xplore can also be used with most major brands of infant car seats which adds convenience and safety for all the family members.

The 3D Lite

This stroller is an excellent option for parents who want an inexpensive, light-weight, compact travel stroller that doesn't break the bank. Summer Infant's 3D Lite, weighing just more than 14 pounds, is the lightest stroller. The model has a range of features, including a 5-point harness as well as a multi-position reclining seat. The 3D Lite offers plenty of storage options and useful features for parents. It includes an infant cup holder that includes a snack tray as well as a cup holder to the parent, a zippered pocket and padded handles.

The Lite's light-weight design makes it easy to push and maneuver. It scored highly in our Strollers Test Program, earning Excellent marks in ease of Utilization and Maneuverability. It also scored well in the Stroller Safety Category, which includes features to ensure that your child is secure and safe like locking brakes and changing the safety harness folding and unfolding, and attaching and removing a compatible car seat.

It is important to remember that folding the Lite requires some balance. To fold it you must lift the lever that is located in the center of the stroller, then step on another lever with your foot, then press down on the handle with the other hand. The process takes approximately 4 seconds, and is slightly slower than other strollers that are lightweight we've test.

The Lite, while a great travel stroller is also small in size and a comfortable carrying strap. However it doesn't fold as compactly as other strollers we've tried. The Bugaboo Ant and Babyzen YOYO+ both fold smaller to fit in airplane overhead bins.

The Lite is not convertible to a double stroller and does not come with an accompanying ride along board for older children. If you're looking for an extra-large stroller, or one that can hold more than one child, we recommend taking a look at our Top Picks for Best Double Stroller or our Guide to the Best Double Strollers.
