The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers This stroller is among the lightest and most compact. It's also among the most easy to fold. Despite its size it has an excellent ride, fantastic sun canopy, and a multi-position recline. With a price of less than $100, this stroller is an excellent value. It has an easy compact fold, as well as a carry strap, so it's easy to put it over your shoulder or carry to public transportation. 1. Lightweight When it comes to strollers for travel lightweight and easy-to-fold are essential. The best models we tested could be folded in one hand, and sometimes two and can be tucked into overhead compartments for luggage. They are also compact and roll well, making them easy to maneuver into tight space. Some models even have the option of a telescoping handle to parents of various heights. Find a light, easy to pack stroller for your family, whether you're planning an excursion with a newborn or an extended trip with an infant. We tested nine strollers that met our minimum weight and size requirements. Each model was put to the test on country sidewalks and in the airport terminal for maneuverability in folding, ease of carrying, and overall comfort for your child. Our top picks include the Babyzen YoYo2 ($320) that is the easiest to fold of the travel strollers we've tested and can fit into overhead bins for airplanes. The seat reclines to a flat position and is car seat compatible and is suitable from birth. Other features that parents will appreciate include a large undercarriage basket, a bag hook on the handle, and a UPF 50+ canopy that offers ample coverage for your child's travels. Other great options include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), that features a one-handed concertina fold and is extremely light. The padded five-point harness, the crotch strap, and the reversible seat protect your child with a huge undercarriage basket and a convertible seat will ensure there is enough space for their possessions. It's also compatible with the brand's infant car seat. This makes it a viable choice for families from birth. The Coya TRVL ($320), an all-hands, one-step fold that is also compatible with car seats and has an enormous canopy. It's more expensive than other models in the category, but offers additional features, including a spacious cupholder and a parent's pocket, a movable handlebar to fit parents of all heights and a comfortable carrying strap. Its simplicity is sacrificed for a bit of durability compared to the other models in this category, however. 2. Folding is easy When you're on the move, your stroller has to be easy to open and close. You do not want a stroller which is difficult to close when you have food items or children in your arms. The best travel strollers fold up easily and compactly, even with just one hand. Many come with a comfortable carrying strap that is comfortable over your shoulder. In our tests, we awarded the Libelle stroller high marks due to its compactness and easy folding. However, it also has some excellent features: It glides smoothly over all surfaces and has a generous canopy that offers plenty of coverage. It's also surprisingly lightweight and stands by itself when folded. This makes it easy to put away. If you're a parent who wants to roll right up to the gate and pop their stroller into an overhead bin, we suggest an option that will fit into. The Munchkin Sparrow, for example is a great fit in the smallest folding space and comes with a handy protective travel cover, but it comes with no reclining seat and a tiny cargo space that can only hold a small tote bag or diaper bag (no backpacks). Another alternative is the Babyzen Yoyo 2, which folds into a concertina style but also has a reversible seat for face-toface or back-toback riding. The handle is hidden behind the seat, but our managing editor didn't like the fold. The tri-fold is the newest stroller for travel. It folds down into three parts and offers the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Miniu, for instance, has a reversible seat with a storage pouch that is not structured in the rear, and a locking latch to keep it folded. It's a bit bigger than the umbrellas of the brand, but can be folded more compactly than G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts. It also comes with a padded shoulder strap. 3. Easy to store The best travel strollers can be folded down to a small size that is easy to store. They can be easily stowed in the trunk of a car, or in the overhead bin of a plane. Some have a strap that can be used to carry the stroller on your shoulder, so that your hands don't get exhausted. They are also lighter than standard strollers. This makes them easy to lift and carry around for a quick stroll in the neighborhood or at the airport. The stroller performed extremely well on our durability tests and was easy to maneuver across any type of surface. From smooth hardwoods to shag flooring this stroller is an excellent choice. However, some of our testers found it to be a bit flimsy and the handlebar doesn't have any padding to keep your hands comfy. The size of the storage basket should also be taken into consideration. It is on the small side and some parents have had difficulty difficult to squeeze a large size diaper bag into it. We suggest calling your airline prior to departure to confirm their specific guidelines regarding strollers. They can differ. This is especially important if you want to check your stroller's gate that allows you to get around the airport without it, and then be able to use it once you're on the plane (though this isn't a viable option for families that require an infant car seat or booster). The Contours Itsy travel stroller is an excellent choice for those who need a light, compact stroller. It's nearly assembled straight out of the box, and the only thing you need to do is put the bumper bar into the right position. It has a cup for parents back pocket and holder however, there is no basket that is large, which could make it difficult to carry essentials for long trips. If you're a frequent traveler we recommend considering a more robust stroller with more features and can carry more cargo. Pushchairs And Prams , as an instance, comes with many of the G-Luxe or G-Link siblings however it's smaller and folds more quickly. It is also slightly more robust than an umbrella stroller and comes with a cushioned strap to help alleviate some of the burden off your shoulders. 4. Comfortable It is important to be comfortable when using strollers over long periods of time. Seats with a lot of padding and a reclining system that can be adjusted to different angles are ideal. Also, consider whether the canopy extends to provide shade from the sun and if it has mesh windows that allow airflow. If you have to carry a few items take a look at a model that has an organizer for parents and a cup holder as well as a large storage basket under the seat. When looking for a Jogger for older children, make sure to check the age range. Also, consider whether your child is comfortable in the seat even without an infant car-seat. The way a stroller is rolled is also vital. It should be able to move easily on various surfaces such as smooth carpets, hardwoods and shag carpets cobblestones and gravel. It must be able to navigate curbs, stairs, and other obstacles with ease. Choose a lightweight stroller if you intend to do a lot of walking throughout your trip. This will help to prevent back and leg pain. A great stroller for travel should also be easy to use. It should be assembled in less than 30 seconds and snap up securely when popped in the correct place. It should also fold down flat and fit into the trunk of your car, or the overhead compartments of a plane. It should also remain upright when folded so that you can grab it by one hand and hold your baby in the other. If you are a parent looking for a premium lightweight stroller for their child The Joie Tourist is a great option. It has several recline positions so that your child can rest comfortably. The canopy that extends can provide plenty of sun protection with UPF protection. It also comes with a rain cover and a coffee cup holder and footmuff. Charlotte is thrilled that it's suitable from newborns up to four years and doesn't require a separate car seat adapter.
