The Managing Editor Sentry and Senior Review Writer Wendy Schmitz put these models through their paces on pavement and off-road surfaces, as well test the comfort of children in the seats.

Stroller Features

The best strollers come with features that allow you to travel with your child easier. Find features that simplify life for you, like a large storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, a movable canopy, and so on when looking for the latest stroller. It's important to determine what features are important to you and your family members and those you can live without.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It comes with a variety of convenient features that will keep parents comfortable and happy. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate caregivers of different heights, and the wrist strap is designed to ensure that the stroller doesn't roll away while you're jogging. The Wayfinder also has the most extensive sunshade we've seen in our test group with a clear view up top to let kids peek out while they're resting. Jenni's 3-year-old daughter found the seat to be comfortable padded, so bumps in the road don't shake him up too much.

The stroller is equipped with a hand brake to help you control slippery surfaces. It can fold into a slim, compact package that takes up a small space in your car's trunk. It is also possible to convert it into an e-travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

If you plan on tackling rough terrains, solid tires are a must-have for strollers of all kinds. While they don't offer the same level of comfort as air-filled or foam-filled tires, they're ideal for navigating potholes and bumps effortlessly.

This stroller for jogging comes with a fold that takes just two steps. It locks into position when folded, and is compact enough to fit in the majority of elevators. It's not as easy as some of our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism can be a little complicated. It requires pressing a button on the front of the stroller, a flap on the foot area, and then raising the handle. We'd rather have a simpler system that simply clicks into place or opens by pulling.

Stroller Weight


The weight of the overall stroller is an important aspect to take into consideration. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and may offer superior performance in rough terrain. However, a lot of parents find that strollers with lighter weights are more maneuverable and more suitable for everyday use.

The type and size of the wheels is an important feature. Certain strollers, like jogging strollers, have larger wheels that can provide a smoother ride for baby. Larger wheels can add weight to the stroller and make it harder to fold and transport, as well as store.

Some models in our selection come with air-filled wheels, which provide an enjoyable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. Air-filled tires are more prone to flattening, so you will need to replace them. If you plan to travel with your stroller often, we suggest that you select one with solid wheels. They can withstand contact with various surfaces more frequently and last longer.

Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on stairs or escalators are the most common stroller-related injuries and can be especially dangerous for infants. If you are unable to avoid using an escalator or stairs with your stroller, we suggest that you only use it if your child is securely strapped in the seat. Also, keep them close to you while you walk up or down.

Some strollers can be purchased as complete travel systems in which the car seat and stroller are sold as a single unit. These types of products are usually more expensive and less convenient than their separate counterparts and they may not be as effective in the long-term. Additionally many parents end up regretting purchasing a bundle product because it may not include all the features they would like or could turn out to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest that you purchase an infant stroller that can be purchased separately from the capsule or car seat if you'd like to upgrade to a higher-end model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The best 3 wheel strollers with a compact size fold easily and put away. Some even lock into the position automatically after you open them. This feature is especially useful for families who regularly take public transport or drive to walk.

Three-wheeled strollers can be maneuvered easily in tight spaces like grocery store aisles or other crowded areas. They are often equipped with suspension systems to provide an easier ride. This is particularly useful on sidewalks that are bumpy.

The Guava Roam is a compact stroller that can be used for jogging. The stroller is a stylish stroller that can be used as a part of a travel set-up with matching 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 folds in two steps and locks into position after opening.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another stylish 3-wheeled jogging stroller that looks nice. This stroller is a little more expensive than our top picks, but is worth it if you travel a lot or live in a city. This lightweight stroller can be folded down to a compact 20 x 17 x 7 inch size. It comes with a five-point, no-rethread, padding on the harness. 3 wheeler pushchair can also be used as a pram for newborns or young toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a quality product with some nice features. It is spacious in its recline, and it also has storage space. However, some parents are disappointed with its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when it is reclining and there's no cupholders or snack tray for children. The brakes are a little difficult to engage and the handlebars are too high for certain moms.

The Graco Fastaction is another stroller that is designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing the comfort or convenience. It's packed with a variety of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only issue with this stroller is that the brakes are a little difficult to activate, and they're not locked when the stroller has been folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller will keep your child safe while using it. Some of the top-scoring strollers in our test have a five-point harness with padded, adjustable crotch straps that allow for a customised fit. Some strollers have a padded cushion that protects your child's head should they fall or roll out of their seat. Some strollers come with a safety brake that locks two wheels, which is particularly important for strollers that jog because it prevents them from slipping when they're going up and down stairs or escalators, where they can be especially risky for children.

In our tests, we rated the maneuverability of strollers in three different ways: a product's ability to turn and bounce over dips and bumps its ability to maneuver when loaded with a child and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also evaluated the ease of being able to open and close the safety harness, fold and unfold the stroller, adjust its backrest and handlebar height and brakes and attach and take off car seats (if appropriate).

We have found that 3-wheel strollers are simpler to maneuver than four-wheel models however this benefit diminishes when your baby becomes heavier. We suggest choosing the model that has hand brakes. It will allow you to slow down or stop without putting in the same effort as your body by itself. However, a lot of the top-scoring swivel wheel strollers do not offer this feature, and only one of our top fixed-wheel models has it.

It is important to think about how often you'll need to use your stroller for going up and down escalators or stairs and if it's safe to do this. Stairs and escalators pose greater risk because they move mechanical components that make it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. We recommend finding an alternative to these obstacles, like an elevator, if you have one or have another adult take the stroller up and down with you. Some of the top-scoring strollers are able to be taken onto an escalator or a set of stairs. an escalator with their safety brake locked and engaged however it's safer to be safe than to be sorry.
