The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers This stroller is among the smallest, lightest and easiest to fold. It offers a smooth ride, a great sun canopy, and multi-position recline. This stroller is a great value at less than $100. It comes with an easy compact fold and carry strap, so it's easy to sling over your shoulders or take to public transportation. 1. Lightweight The key to a good travel stroller is that it must be lightweight and easy to fold. The most popular models we tested could fold with just one hand and sometimes with two, and they can fit in overhead luggage compartments. They also can roll easily and are compact enough to easily maneuver in tight spaces. Some models even have a telescoping handle for parents of different heights. Find a lightweight, easy to transport stroller for your family, whether you're planning to take short trips with a newborn or a long-haul trip with a toddler. We evaluated nine strollers that met our minimum weight and size requirements. Each model was tested on country roads, and at the airport terminal for mobility, ease of folding and carrying, as well as overall comfort for your child. Our top choice is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320) that folds the easiest of all the strollers we tested, and is able to fit into the overhead bins of airplanes. Its seat reclines almost flat and is compatible with car seats, so it's suitable from birth. Other features that are suitable for parents include a deep undercarriage storage basket and a bag hook attached to the handle and a UPF 50+ canopy which provides plenty of coverage for your young traveler. Other great options include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), that features a one-handed concertina fold and is incredibly lightweight. Its five-point harness, padded and crotch strap will keep your child secure, while the reversible seat as well as a massive undercarriage basket make sure there's plenty of space for their belongings. It's also compatible with the brand's infant car seat, making it a viable option for families that start at birth. Lastly, the Coya TRVL ($320) is another one-handed, one-step fold that comes with car seat compatibility and a far-reaching canopy. It's more expensive than the other models in this category but it also comes with extra features such as a large cupholder and a parent's pocket, an adjustable handlebar to accommodate parents of different heights, and a comfortable carrying strap. The simplicity of the model does not mean it's as durable, as contrasted with other models in this class. 2. Folding is easy If you're constantly on the move, a travel stroller needs to be simple to open and close. You do not want a stroller which is difficult to close when you're carrying groceries or children in your arms. The most efficient travel strollers fold easily and compactly, even when you only have one hand. Many come with a cushioned strap that you can wear comfortably over your shoulders. In our tests, the Libelle stroller scored highly for its effortless fold and compactness. It also has some other attractive features. It rolls smoothly on all surfaces and has an ample canopy that provides enough coverage. Plus, it's surprisingly lightweight and free-standing when folded which makes it easier to store. We recommend parents who wish to have their stroller fit in the overhead bins of planes, look for models that promise to fit. The Munchkin Sparrow, for example is perfect for the smallest fold and comes with a handy protective travel cover, but it comes with no recliner and a tiny cargo area that can accommodate a small bag or diaper bag (no backpacks). Another alternative is the Babyzen Yoyo 2, which folds into a concertina style but also has the option of a reversible seat to allow face-toface or back-toback riding. Our editor in chief found it a breeze to open and close, though she was not thrilled with how the handle slides behind the seat when folded. The tri-fold is the most recent travel stroller. It folds into three pieces and provides the most compact combination of size and features. The UPPAbaby Minu for example, has a convertible seat, an unstructured rear storage pouch, and a lockable clasp to keep it folded. It's slightly larger than the umbrellas of the brand but can be folded more compactly than G-Luxe or G-Link counterparts. It also has a shoulder strap that is cushioned. 3. Easy to store The best travel strollers fold down to smaller, compact size that is easy to fit in the trunk of your car or into the overhead bin on an airplane. Some models come with a strap you can use to carry the stroller over your shoulder so your hands don't get tired. They also tend to be lighter than standard strollers, which can make them easier to lift and carry when you're ready for a stroll around the neighborhood or the airport. The stroller performed extremely well on our durability tests and was easy to maneuver on all kinds of surfaces. From smooth hardwoods to shag flooring this stroller is an excellent choice. Some of our test subjects found it a bit flimsy and the handlebar wasn't padded to ensure that your hands are comfortably. The size of the basket is also something to consider. It is quite small and some parents have reported that it was difficult to fit a large diaper bag into it. In general, we recommend calling your airline prior to time to check their specific guidelines for bringing strollers on board, as they can vary. This is particularly important if you want to check your stroller's gate-ability that allows you to travel around the airport without it and still use it when you're on the plane (though this isn't a viable option for families who need car seats or a toddler booster). If you're looking for a no-fuss stroller that is lightweight and folds down to an extremely compact size the Contours Itsy is a great option. The Contours Itsy comes almost fully assembled and all you have to do is snap in the bumper bar. It comes with a parent cup holder and back pocket but there isn't a large basket, which could restrict your ability to carry essentials for a long-distance trip. If twin pushchair Pushchairs And Prams , we recommend you look into a more robust stroller that has better features and the ability to carry more cargo. The UPPAbaby Mini, as an instance, comes with many of the G-Luxe and G-Link siblings with features, but it is smaller and folds more quickly. It's also slightly more durable than an umbrella stroller and comes with a cushioned strap to take some of the burden off your shoulders. 4. Comfortable Comfort is key when using strollers for extended periods of time. Seats that have plenty of padding and a recline system that can be adjusted to different angles are the best. Also, consider whether the canopy extends to give shade from the sun and if it has mesh windows to promote airflow. If you have to carry a few items, consider a model with a parent organizer/cup holder and an ample storage basket underneath the seat. When shopping for a travel child jogger be sure to look at the age range. Also, consider if your child is comfortable in the seat, even without a car seat. How a stroller rolls is also important. It must be able to roll easily over various surfaces including smooth hardwoods and shag carpet to cobblestones and gravel. It should be able to handle curbs, stairs and other obstacles with ease. If your travel plans include a lot of walking, opt for a stroller that is light to prevent leg and back soreness. A great stroller for travel should also be simple to use. It should be easy to assemble and snap together when placed in the correct position. It should also fold flat enough to fit in the trunk of your car or the overhead compartments of planes. It should also remain upright when folded, so you can carry it around using one hand and then hold your child in the other. The Joie Tourist is an excellent choice for parents who are looking for a lightweight quality, high-end travel stroller. It comes with various recline positions, to allow your child to nap in comfort. The canopy extends to provide lots of sun protection and UPF protection. Plus, it includes a variety of additional features including a footmuff, cup holder, and rain cover are all included. Charlotte loves the fact that it is suitable from newborns up to four years and doesn't require the purchase of an additional car seat adapter.
