Best 3 Wheel Stroller
Three-wheel strollers are great for parents who run errands or are runners. A lot of 3-wheel strollers offer the same features as 4-wheel ones like storage, a child's tray, and a console for parents.
3 wheeled pushchair put these strollers to the test on the pavement and off, assessing how smooth they ride. They also looked for convenience and comfort features like a reclined seat.
The Chariot Cross
Thule created the Chariot Cross for families who aren't content in the inside, and they created it with a solid design that allows them to explore the outdoors without worrying about their kids safety or comfort. The adjustable suspension of the Chariot allows you to tailor the ride to suit your child's preferences and readiness to embark on new adventures.
The Chariot Cross is popular among runners due to its smooth ride and outstanding maneuverability on any terrain. It's got plenty of storage, including a large cargo basket that can be tucked away to reduce interference with your running stride. It's a great choice for families who want to combine outdoor activities as you can use it along with cycling, strolling and ski kits (all sold separately).
The Chariot is different from other strollers with three wheels due to its superior comfort for passengers. The seats are padded on the shoulders and sides. Passengers can adjust the recline of the seat for the perfect position to nap or enjoy the scenery. They can also enjoy a cool breeze due to the ventilation mesh on the Chariot which makes it a top option for hot weather.
Another advantage of the Chariot is that the front and back of the seat recline independently of one another, which is a nice feature for older children who wish to relax or read during longer journeys. Unlike the D'Lite, which only has a solid top panel, the Chariot Cross offers a viewing window as well as a large rear canopy for increased visibility.
3 wheeled pushchair , like other Thule products is easy to assemble. The instructions are straightforward and the process takes about 30-45 minutes. It's small enough to gate check on a plane, and folds down compactly for easy transport in the back of your car.
The only drawback of the Chariot is that it does not accept infant car seats. This could limit its appeal to some parents. If you're looking for a double stroller that can be used with car seat carriers, look into the Joovy Twin Roo+. It's a similar model that can also be used with a wide range of infant car seat brands, but it's a bit more expensive and doesn't provide the same smooth ride as the Chariot.
The Evenflo Pivot Explorer
Evenflo's Pivot All-Terrain Modular Stroller Wagon is ideal for family outings or playground adventures. It's easy to move your child with ease. With just a flip of the handle, this wagon is able into a push stroller or pull as a wagon, and can fit two children up to five years old in the front seat or a car seat adapter (sold separately). All-terrain wheels travel wherever you do, so it's easy to navigate sidewalks, paths made of gravel, and other rough terrains.
The Xplore comes with a large storage basket and a dual-sided snack tray so you can keep toys, snacks and other items in close proximity. It's also easier to fold and unfold than other models, but we found that it took a bit longer than the typical wagon. A visual indicator of color will let you know when it's fully folded and locked for safety.
This stroller wagon is a great alternative for parents seeking a stroller that can be used to carry napping. A bassinet is included for babies who are 6 months or younger, and the UPF 50+ canopy can be enlarged from two panels to three using the quick unzip. This will provide greater protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. The footwell has also been revamped to allow more space for active toddlers.
If you don't require a recliner seat for your child, you can swap out the child seat included for a bench-style seat to let them sit higher and be able to see more easily. The Xplore can be used with the majority of infant car seats. This adds convenience and safety for the entire family.

The 3D Lite
This stroller is a great option for parents who want an inexpensive, light-weight, compact travel stroller that doesn't cost a fortune. Summer Infant's 3D Lite, weighing just more than 14 pounds, is their lightest stroller. The model comes with a variety of features, including a 5-point harness and a multi-position recline seat. For parents, the 3D Lite has plenty of storage space and convenient features such as a child's cup holder and snack tray as well as a cup holder for parents, zippered pocket, and cushioned handles for comfort.
The Lite's light frame makes it incredibly mobile and easy to push. It rated highly in our Strollers Test Program, earning Very Good marks for Ease of Use and Maneuverability. It also scored high in the Stroller Safety Category, which includes features that ensure your child is secure and safe like locking brakes, changing the safety harness, folding and unfolding, and the ability to attach and remove a compatible car seat.
It is important to note that folding the Lite requires some balance. To fold it you have to raise one lever located in the back center and then step on a lever using your foot, and then press down on the handle using the other hand. The process takes about 4 seconds and is slower than other lightweight strollers that we've test.
Additionally, even though the Lite is a great stroller for traveling with a small footprint and a convenient carry strap, it's not able to fold as compactly as some other models we've tested. The Bugaboo Ant and Babyzen YOYO+ both fold smaller to fit inside overhead bins on airplanes.
Lastly, the Lite is not convertible to double strollers and doesn't have 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 recommend reading our Top 5 Choices for the Top Double Stroller or our Guide to the Top Double Strollers. With a price tag of just under $150 The Lite is a great option for parents who are looking for a stroller for travel that has an umbrella-style fold and a lot of features for their children.
