Best 3 Wheel Stroller

Three-wheel strollers are ideal for parents who run errands or runners. They have the same useful features as 4-wheel strollers like storage, a child tray and a parent console.

The guide writers test the strollers on and off pavement to determine their smoothness. They also examined the comfort and convenience features like a seat that reclines completely.

The Chariot Cross

Thule designed the Chariot Cross for families who refuse to be confined inside, and they created it with a solid construction that allows them to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about their kids safety or their comfort. The Chariot’s suspension is adjustable, allowing you to customize the ride to your child, ensuring they’re in good shape and ready for new adventures.

The Chariot Cross is a favorite among joggers because of its smooth ride and agility on all terrains. It also has plenty of storage space, including a drop-down cargo basket that can be tucked away to minimize the impact on your stride when running. It’s an excellent choice for families who want to combine outdoor activities as you can use it with biking, strolling and ski kits (all sold separately).

The Chariot is different from other 3 wheel strollers because of its outstanding comfort for passengers. The seats are well-padded on the shoulders and sides and the users can adjust their seats to find the perfect position to rest or take in the scenery. The mesh ventilation on the Chariot allows passengers to enjoy a cool breeze which makes it a great choice for hot weather.

Another benefit of the Chariot is that the front and back of the seat recline independently of each other This is a great feature for older children who wish to relax or read on long trips. The Chariot Cross has a large rear canopy and 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 simple to put together. The instructions are straightforward and the entire process takes 30-45 minutes. It’s even small enough for gate check on a plane, and it folds down compactly for easy transport to the back of your car.

The only drawback is that the Chariot isn’t compatible with infant car seats, which could make it less appealing to some parents. However, if you’re looking for a double stroller that can be used with car seat carriers, you should check out the Joovy Twin Roo+. It’s a similar product that can be used with a variety of infant car seat brands however, it is a bit more expensive and doesn’t provide the same smooth ride as the Chariot.

The Evenflo Pivot Xplore

Evenflo’s Pivot All-Terrain Modular Stroller Wagon is perfect for weekend getaways or play adventures. It’s easy to transport your child in comfort. With a simple flip of the handle, this wagon can be transformed to either push as a stroller or pull as a wagon and can hold two kids from 5 to 10 years old in the front seat, or with a car seat adapter (sold separately). All-terrain wheels travel wherever you go, making it easy to navigate sidewalks, paths made of gravel, and other rough terrains.

The Xplore has a huge storage bin and a double-sided snack tray, so you can keep snacks, toys and more close at hand. It’s also easier to fold than other models, however it still takes longer than a standard wagon. The color indicator on the visual side will notify you when the wagon has been folded and locked.

For parents in search of a stroller wagon that can be used for naptime, this could be worth the cost. A bassinet insert is included for infants 6 months and under, while the larger UPF 50+ canopy can be expanded from two to three panels using the quick unzip for more protection from sun’s harmful UV rays. The footwell has also been revamped to provide more space for active toddlers.

If 3 wheeled pushchairs don’t require a reclining child seat you can substitute it with a bench-style backrest. This allows your child to sit higher and better view the scenery. The Xplore is compatible with the majority of major brands of infant car seats which adds convenience and safety for all the family members.

The 3D Lite

This stroller is a great choice for parents seeking a compact, lightweight and affordable travel stroller. Summer Infant’s 3D Lite, weighing just 14 pounds, is their tiniest stroller. It comes with a variety of features for the little user, including the ability to recline in multiple positions as well as five-point safety harness. For parents this 3D Lite has plenty of storage space and useful features like a cup for children, a tray and holder, a parent cup holder with a zippered pocket, as well as padded handles for ease of use.

The Lite’s light frame makes it extremely mobile and easy to push. It scored very well in our Strollers Test Program. It received Very Good marks for Ease Of Use and Maneuverability. It also scored highly in the Stroller Safety Category, which includes features to ensure that your child is safe and secure such as locking brakes, altering the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding and the ability to attach and remove the car seat that is compatible with it.

One thing to keep in mind is that it does take some balance to fold the Lite. To do so, you must lift one lever in the back center and then step on a lever simultaneously by using your foot, then push the lever down using the other hand. This process takes around 4 seconds and is slightly slower than other strollers that are lightweight we’ve tried.

The Lite is a great travel stroller, has a small footprint, and a convenient carrying strap. However, it does not fold as compactly compared to other models that we have tried. The Bugaboo Ant, Babyzen YOYO+ and Zoe Traveler all fold smaller and are better suited for overhead bins in airplanes.

The Lite cannot be transformed into a double stroller and it doesn’t come with a ride-along board for older children. If you’re looking for an extra-large stroller, or one that can accommodate more than one child, we suggest reading our Top 5 Choices for the Top Double Stroller or our Guide to the Best Double Strollers. The Lite travel stroller is a great option for parents who are seeking a product for travel with a lot of features at a cost less than $150.
