Three-3 wheel buggy strollers are ideal for parents who need to run errands or runners. Many 3 wheel baby buggy-wheel strollers have the same features as 4-wheel strollers like storage, a child’s tray and a console for parents.
Guide writers put these strollers to the test on the pavement and off, evaluating how smooth they travel. They also looked at convenience and comfort features like the reclined seat.
The Chariot Cross
Thule created the Chariot Cross for families who refuse to be confined to the indoors, and they designed it with a solid design that allows them to explore the outdoors without worrying about their kids safety or their comfort. The adjustable suspension of the Chariot lets you customize the ride to your child’s needs and level of readiness to take on new adventures.
The Chariot Cross is popular among joggers for its smooth riding and superb maneuverability on any terrain. It also has ample storage space and a drop-down basket that can be compacted to reduce the impact on your stride while running. It’s a great option for families who prefer to mix outdoor activities since it can be used with biking, strolling and skiing kits (all sold separately).
The Chariot stands out from other strollers with three wheels due to its exceptional passenger comfort. The seats have padded shoulders and sides. Passengers can adjust the reclining seats for the perfect position to nap or enjoy the scenery. The mesh ventilation on the Chariot allows passengers to enjoy a cool breeze which makes it a great option for hot weather.
The Chariot has the added benefit of allowing the front and rear of the seat to recline separately. This is ideal for older children who wish to stretch or read during long trips. Contrary to 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.
As with other Thule products like other Thule products, the Chariot Cross is simple to put together. The instructions are straightforward and the process takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It’s small enough to gate check when traveling by plane, and it folds down compactly for easy transport to the back of your car.
The only drawback to the Chariot is that it does not accept infant car seats. This could make it less appealing to some parents. If you’re looking for a double stroller that can be used with car seat carriers, you should look into the Joovy Twin Roo+. It is a similar product that can be used with a variety of infant car seat manufacturers however it is more expensive and doesn’t offer the same smooth ride as the Chariot.
The Evenflo Pivot Xplore
Evenflo’s Pivot All-Terrain Modular Stroller Wagon is the perfect choice for weekend getaways or play adventures. It’s simple to transport your child in comfort. This wagon can be transformed into a stroller by flipping the handle. It can also be used as a wagon to accommodate two children from birth to five in the front seat, or by using the car seat adapter. All-terrain wheels can go wherever you do, so it’s easy to navigate through gravel paths, and other rough terrains.
The Xplore comes with a large storage basket as well as a dual-sided snack tray so you can keep toys, snacks and other items in close proximity. It is also easier to fold than other models, but it’s still a bit more time-consuming than a standard wagon. A visual indicator of color lets you know when it’s fully folded and locked to ensure safety.
This stroller wagon is a great option for parents who are looking for a stroller that can be used to transport napping. A bassinet is included for babies who are 6 months or less and the UPF 50+ canopy can be extended from two panels to three by the simple unzip. This will provide greater protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. The footwell has also been revamped to give more space to 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 allow them to sit up higher and be able to see more easily. The Xplore is also compatible with most major brands of infant car seats, which adds convenience and safety for the entire family.

The 3D Lite
This stroller is a great option for parents looking for an inexpensive, light-weight, compact travel stroller that doesn’t break the bank. Summer Infant’s 3D Lite is their lightest convenience stroller, weighing in at just over 14 pounds. This model comes with a variety of features, including a five-point harness and a multi-position recline seat. For parents, the 3D Lite has plenty of storage space and useful features such as a child’s cup tray and snack holder as well as a cup holder for parents with a zippered pocket and cushioned handles for comfort.
The Lite’s lightweight design makes it easy to push and maneuver. It scored highly in our Strollers Test Program, earning Very Good marks in Ease of Utilization and Maneuverability. It also scored highly in the Stroller Safety Category, which includes features to ensure your child is safe and secure like locking brakes as well as adjusting the safety harness folding and unfolding, and attaching and removing a compatible car seat.
It is important to remember that it takes some balance to fold the Lite. To do so you need to lift the lever on the back, step on another lever using your foot, and then push down on the handle with the other hand. This process takes around 4 seconds, and is a bit slower than other strollers that are lightweight we’ve tried.
In addition, while the Lite is a great travel stroller with a small footprint and a handy carry strap, it’s not folded as compactly as other strollers we’ve tried. The Bugaboo Ant, Babyzen YOYO+ and Zoe Traveler all fold smaller which makes them more suitable to be used in overhead bins on airplanes.
The Lite can’t be converted into a double stroller, and it does not come with a ride-along walker for older kids. If you are searching for a double stroller or one that can hold two children, we recommend our Top Picks or a Guide to the Best Double Strollers. With a cost of just under $150 the Lite is a solid choice for parents looking for a travel stroller with an umbrella-style fold as well as a variety of features for their child.
