Wendy Schmitz, Senior Review Writer and Managing Editor of Sentry The models were put to the test on road surfaces and off-road ones. They also tested the seating comfort for children.

Stroller Features

The best strollers offer features that allow you to travel with your baby more comfortable. Find features that make life easier including a big storage bin, parent tray with cup holders, an adjustable canopy, and more when you are shopping for a new stroller. The key is determining what features are non-negotiable for you and your family and which ones you can be content with.

BOB Gear Wayfinder is our top-rated stroller for jogging. It comes with a variety of convenient features that will keep parents content and comfortable. The handlebar can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate caregivers. A wrist strap prevents the stroller from slipping away when you're jogging. The Wayfinder has the largest sunshade of the strollers we tested and a glass window on the top lets kids to peek out while they rest. Jenni's 3 wheel stroller lightweight-year-old son found the seat to have comfortable padding, so bumps on the road didn't cause any discomfort for him.

This jogging stoller comes with the handbrake to help maintain control on slippery surfaces. It can be folded into a compact, slim package that takes up a small space in your car's trunk. It is also possible to transform it into a travel system by purchasing an adapter. It also works with the Uppababy Mesa V2 Bassinet.

Solid tires are a must for strollers that will be used on rough terrains. Solid tires are not as comfortable as spongy or air-filled tires but they're great for navigating potholes and bumps.

This stroller is a jogging model and comes with a fold that takes just two steps. It locks in place when folded, and it's compact enough to fit into most elevators. It's not as easy as some of our other four-wheel strollers, and the locking mechanism can be somewhat complicated. It involves clicking an icon on the front of the stroller, closing a flap near the foot area, and lifting the handle. We'd prefer a simpler system that simply clicks into the position or opens when pulled.

Stroller Weight

The overall weight is a crucial aspect to consider. A stroller that is heavier tends to be more stable than a stroller that is lighter and could provide more performance on rough terrain. Many parents find a lighter stroller more maneuverable, and more suitable for day-to-day use.

The shape and size of the wheels is another important feature. Certain strollers have bigger wheels, such as jogging ones, which can make the ride more comfortable for your baby. Larger wheels can add weight to the stroller, making it more difficult to fold and store, transport and fold.

Some models in our collection have wheels filled with air that provide a comfortable, stable ride for your child on rough terrain. However, tires that are filled with air can easily get flat which will require you to swap them out. If you intend to travel frequently with your stroller, we suggest a model with solid tires that can withstand regular contact with different surfaces and last longer.

Strollers with swivel front wheels are ideal for navigating stairs and escalators safely. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller injuries. They can be particularly hazardous for infants. If you cannot avoid using the escalator and stairs while using your stroller, we recommend using it when your child is safely strapped into the seat. Also keep them close to you while you walk up or down.

Some strollers are an integrated travel system that incorporates both the car seat as well as the stroller. Although these strollers often have attractive prices and offer convenience in terms of reducing shopping time, they are generally more expensive than their standalone counterparts and may not function in the long haul. In addition, many parents later regret purchasing a bundle product because it may not come with all of the features they would like, or it could prove to not be compatible with their car or child's seat. We suggest that you purchase a stroller that is purchased separately from the capsule or car seat in case you want to upgrade to a more advanced model in the future.

Stroller Folding

The top 3 wheel compact strollers fold quickly and easily to make storage and transport effortless. Some even lock in place automatically when you open them. This feature can be especially useful for families who frequently take public transportation or drive prior to taking a a walk.

Three-wheel strollers are designed to move around tight spaces like aisles of grocery stores and other areas that are crowded with ease. Many also come equipped with suspension systems that provide an easier stroll for your child and can be particularly helpful on bumpy sidewalks.

The Guava Roam is a lightweight stroller that can be used for jogging. It's a good-looking stroller that can be used as a travel system, with the matching car seat adapters for Nuna Maxi-Cosi, Nuna and Cybex infant carseats, as well as the bassinet Uppababy (car seats and stroller boards are sold separately). The stroller folds in two steps and locks in place once opened.

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another nice-looking 3 wheel buggies-wheeled jogging stroller. It's a bit pricier than some of our top picks, but it's worth the cost If you're a lover of travel or live in the city. The lightweight stroller can be folded down to a tiny 20 17×7 inch size. It has five-point, non-rethread, padded harness. It can also be used as a pram for infants or toddlers (with an infant car seat adapter).

The Babyzen is a good product with some nice features. It has a spacious recline and has extra storage. However there are some parents who are dissatisfied by its performance. The seat doesn't lie flat when it reclines and there aren't cup holders or snack trays for kids. The brakes can also be 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 it can without skimping on comfort or ease of use. It has an impressive list of features, including a large basket and a one-handed fold. The only downside to this stroller is that the brakes can be a bit difficult to engage and they're not locked when the stroller has been folded.

Stroller Safety

The safety features of a stroller should help to keep your child safe during use. Some of the top-scoring strollers we've reviewed have a five-point safety harness that has adjustable, cushioned crotch straps. This allows for a customized fit. Others have a padded seat cushion to safeguard your child's head should they fall out of the seat or fall off. Some strollers come with a safety lock that secures both wheels. This is especially important for jogging walkers, as it prevents them from tumbling over when going up and down escalators and stairs.

In our tests the maneuverability of strollers was evaluated in three distinct ways. We scored it based on a product's ability to bounce and turn when bumps or dips are encountered, its ease of use with a child loaded, and its ability to traverse rough terrain. We also assessed the ease of opening and closing the safety harness as well as folding and unfolding the stroller, altering its backrest and handlebar height and operating the brakes as being able to attach and remove car seats (if applicable).

We have found that 3 Wheel All Terrain Buggy-wheel strollers are more easy to maneuver than four-wheel models However, this advantage decreases as baby gets heavier. That's why we recommend choosing one with a hand brake that assists you in slowing down and come to a stop with as little effort as using body power alone. Many of the top-scoring, swivel-wheel strollers don't have this feature. Only one of our top-rated fixed wheel strollers comes with it.

It is important to consider the frequency that you will require to take your stroller up the stairs or an escalator and whether or not it will be safe to do so with the stroller still in position. Stairs and escalators pose greater risk because they move mechanical components, making it difficult to control the movements of the stroller. If you can choose to, we suggest using an elevator or having an adult help you carry the stroller. Some of the best-scoring strollers are able to be carried up a set of stairs or an escalator with their safety brake locked and engaged, but it's always better to be safer than not be.
