Best 3 Wheel Stroller

Three-wheel strollers are perfect for parents who run errands or are runners. Many have the same convenient features as 4-wheel strollers like storage, a tray for children and a parent console.

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

The Chariot Cross

Thule designed the Chariot Cross to allow families to go on outdoor adventures without worrying about their children's safety and comfort. The adjustable suspension of the Chariot allows you to customize the ride to suit your child's preferences and level of readiness to take on new adventures.

The Chariot Cross is a favorite among runners due to its smooth ride and ability to maneuver on any terrain. It also offers plenty of storage space, including a drop-down cargo basket that can be tucked away for less interference with your stride while running. It's a great option for families who prefer to mix outdoor activities as you can use it along with cycling, strolling and ski kits (all sold separately).

The Chariot is distinct from other 3 wheel strollers due to its superior comfort for passengers. The seats are well-padded on the shoulders and sides and the passengers can adjust their reclining seat to find the perfect spot for napping or enjoying the scenery. The mesh ventilation on the Chariot allows passengers to enjoy a cool breeze which makes it a great option for hot temperatures.

Another advantage of the Chariot is that the front and back of the seat can recline independently of one another, which is a nice feature for older children looking to relax or read on longer trips. The Chariot Cross has a large rear canopy, as well as an observation panel, unlike the D'Lite that only has a solid front panel.

Like other Thule products like other Thule products, the Chariot Cross is easy to assemble. The instructions are simple and the entire process takes between 30 to 45 minutes. It's small enough to gate check if you're traveling by plane, and folds up compactly for simple transport in the back of your car.

The only drawback to the Chariot is that it does not accept infant car seats. This might restrict its appeal to certain parents. However, if you're looking for a double stroller that can be used with car seat carriers, take a look at the Joovy Twin Roo+. It's a similar product that accepts a broad range of infant car seat brands, but it's slightly more expensive and doesn't give the same smooth riding experience as the Chariot.

The Evenflo Pivot Xplore

Evenflo's Pivot All-Terrain Modular Stroller Wagon is perfect for weekend getaways or playground adventures. It's easy to move your child with ease. The wagon can be converted into a stroller by flipping the handle. It can also be used as a wagon that can accommodate two children from birth to five in the front seat, or by using the car seat adapter. All-terrain wheels travel wherever you do, so it's easy to navigate paths made of gravel, and other rough terrains.

The Xplore features a huge storage basket and dual-sided snack tray to keep snacks, toys and other things close to hand. It's also easier to fold than other models, however it still takes longer than a typical wagon. The color indicator on the visual side will let you know when the wagon has been folded and locked.

For parents on the lookout for a stroller that can be used for naptime, this could be worth the money. A bassinet insert is included for infants aged 6 months and 435871 older, and a larger UPF 50+ canopy expands from two to three panels, with the simple unzip for greater protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. The footwell also gets a revamp with more space for active toddlers.

If you don't require a recliner seat for your child you can exchange the child seat that comes with it for a bench-style backrest that will allow them to sit up higher and view the sights more easily. The Xplore is also compatible with the majority of major brands of infant car seats, which provides convenience and security for the whole family.

The 3D Lite

This stroller is a great option for parents looking for lightweight, compact, affordable travel stroller. Summer Infant's 3D Lite, weighing just more than 14 pounds, is their tiniest stroller. The model has a range of features, including a 5-point harness and a multi-position reclining seat. For parents the 3D Lite has plenty of storage space and convenient features like a cup for children, 435871 a holder and snack tray as well as a cup holder for parents with a zippered pocket and cushioned handles for comfort.

The Lite's light frame makes it very mobile and 435871 easy to push. It rated highly in our Strollers Test Program, earning Excellent marks in ease of use and maneuverability. It also scored well in the Stroller Safety Category, which includes features to ensure your child is safe and secure such as locking brakes, altering the safety harness folding and unfolding, and the ability to attach and remove an appropriate car seat.

One thing to keep in mind is that it does take a little balance to fold the Lite. To fold it, you must lift a lever on the back, step on another lever at the same time using your foot, and then push the lever down using the other hand. This process takes around 4 seconds, and is a bit slower than other lightweight strollers we've tested.

Furthermore, while the Lite is a fantastic travel stroller with a small footprint and a handy carry strap, it's not folded as compactly as other models we've tested. The Bugaboo Ant and Babyzen YOYO+ both fold smaller to fit inside airplane overhead bins.

Finally, the Lite isn't able to convert into a double stroller and does not have an accompanying ride along board for older children. If you're looking for a double stroller or something that can accommodate more than one child, we recommend taking a look at our Top Choices for the Top Double Stroller or our Guide to the Best Double Strollers. The Lite stroller is an excellent choice for parents who are seeking a product for travel with a lot of features for less than $150.
