Choosing a 3 Wheel Double Stroller

It's among the top side-by-side strollers that we tested with smooth riding on rough terrain, and quick turns in tight spaces. It's also a great jogger, and folds up easily with the self-standing feature.

However, it comes with double-action brakes that require depression of two pedals and does not accept infant car seats. This could be a problem for some parents.

Safety Features

For those planning to take a stroll or jogs, strollers with 3 wheel push chair wheels provide more stability than four-wheel strollers. The reason for this is that they always have two wheels on the floor and some four-wheelers are able to lift one wheel off the ground in order to negotiate the obstacles like curbs and other obstructions. The trade-off is that three-wheelers are heavier, which could be a problem when weight is a factor.

Some 3 wheel stroller-wheel strollers have pneumatic (air-filled) tires they are a great choice for those who intend to run or jog and need a more comfortable ride than the traditional hard plastic wheels that are found on some models. However, they need regular maintenance and air pressure checks (as as a pump and tire repair kit) because they are more susceptible to losing air than their solid-tire counterparts. You can find recommended pressures on your stroller's manual or on the website of the manufacturer.

Strollers that have adjustable handlebars can help prevent arm, neck and back strain for the person pushing them. The ideal position is close to your belly button with your elbows slightly bent, and your hands relaxed. A lockable front swivel wheel can also be helpful for navigating uneven or bumpy surfaces.

Always test the parking brake of your stroller to make sure it operates quickly and easily. Also consider whether the stroller features windows that can be opened to peek at and/or a reclining seat. These features are helpful for toddlers or infants who is prone to napping while you're out and out and about.

With the large size and weight of the majority of double strollers, you need to make sure their folded dimensions can fit into your trunk or in your home storage space before making a purchase. It is also important to consider the stroller's weight as well as shipping and handling costs which can add up quickly. Consider any extras that you may require or want to stay clear of, like snack trays and speakers built in that can make the stroller heavier, less aerodynamic and a trip hazard for children.

Maneuverability

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a stroller is how simple it is to maneuver. Sadly, double strollers have a harder to turn and maneuver through tight spaces than single-seat strollers because of their weight, size and the additional passengers. This can be frustrating when you're trying to navigate busy sidewalks or supermarket stores with little ones with you.

While some of our top strollers -- such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double -- are incredibly easy to push, others struggle due to their flexing frames or wide-set wheels.
