The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers This stroller is one of the lightest and compact. It's also the easiest to fold. Despite its size, it offers an excellent ride, excellent sun canopy and multi-position recline. This stroller is an excellent value at less than $100. It comes with a simple compact fold and carry strap, which makes it easy to sling over your shoulder or carry with you on public transportation. 1. Lightweight When it comes to strollers for travel lightweight and easy-to-fold are the most important factors. The top models we tested fold down with just one hand (and sometimes two) and fit into overhead luggage compartments. They are also lightweight and easy to roll which makes them easy to maneuver in tight space. Some even come with an adjustable handle for parents of different heights. Find a light, easy to carry stroller for your family, no matter if you're planning to go on short trips with a baby, or taking a long-haul journey with an infant. We evaluated nine strollers that met our minimum size and weight requirements. Each model was put to the test on country roads, and in the airport terminal for mobility in folding, ease of carrying, and overall comfort for your child. Our picks include the Babyzen YoYo2 ($320) that has the simplest fold of all the strollers we tested and can fit into overhead bins on airplanes. It's car seat compatible and its seat can recline almost completely flat, making it ideal for infants. 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 that offers ample coverage for your child's travels. Other great alternatives include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), that features a one-handed concertina fold and is incredibly lightweight. Its padded, five-point harness and crotch strap keep your child safe, and the reversible seat and a massive undercarriage basket make sure there's room for all of their possessions. It's also compatible with the brand’s infant car seat. This makes it an ideal option for families starting from the time of birth. The Coya TRVL ($320) is another one-handed, one-step fold with car seat compatibility as well as a large canopy. It's more expensive than other models in this class however it has additional features like a large cupholder and parent pocket, an adjustable handlebar for parents of all heights and a comfortable carry strap. Its simplicity may sacrifice some durability when compared to other models in this category, however. 2. Folding is simple A stroller that is designed for travel is one that is easy to close and open when you're on the move. If you're carrying a bag of groceries or kids in your arms, you don't want to struggle with a cumbersome stroller to close it. Even with just one hand, the most convenient strollers for travel can be folded easily and compactly. A lot of them have padded straps that you can comfortably wear over your shoulders. In our tests, we awarded the Libelle stroller high marks due to its compactness and its ease of folding. It also has a few great features: It can roll smoothly over all surfaces and has a large canopy that provides plenty of coverage. Plus, it's surprisingly lightweight and self-standing when folded, which makes it easier to store. We suggest parents who want their strollers to fit into the overhead bins of planes Look for models that are guaranteed to fit. The Munchkin Sparrow is a good example. It can fit into the smallest of foldings and comes with an extra-safe travel cover. However it doesn't come with a reclined seat, and its cargo area is too narrow to hold anything but a small diaper bag or a tote. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another option. It folds concertina style, but it has a reversible seating position for face-to-face riding or back-to-back riding. pram double managing editor found it easy to open and close, although she wasn't crazy about how the handle slides into the seat when folded. The newest type of stroller that is a travel model is the tri-fold. It folds in thirds and provides the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Miniu for example, comes with the ability to flip the chair over with a storage pouch that is not structured on the rear, and a lockable latch that keeps it folded. It's a bit bigger than the umbrellas from the brand, but is smaller than their G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts. It also comes with a padded shoulder strap. 3. Easy to store The best strollers fold down to a small, easy-to-store size that you can easily fit into the trunk of your car, or into the overhead bin of the plane. Some come with a strap you can use to carry the stroller over your shoulder so your hands won't be exhausted. They are also lighter than standard strollers. This makes them easier to lift or carry around for a quick stroll in the neighborhood or at the airport. When we tested this stroller, it did extremely well in our tests of durability, and it was easy to maneuver on all kinds of surfaces from smooth hardwoods to shag carpeting. Some of our testers thought it was a bit fragile, and the handlebar was not cushioned to ensure that your hands are comfortably. The size of the storage basket should also be taken into consideration. It's quite small and some parents have reported that it was difficult fitting a large diaperbag into it. In general, we suggest calling your airline prior to time to check their specific guidelines regarding the use of strollers on planes as they may differ. This is particularly crucial if you plan to gate-check your stroller and allow you to get around the airport without it and still be able to use it once you're on the plane (though that option won't work for families that require an infant car seat or booster). If you're looking for a simple travel stroller that's lightweight and folds down to an extremely compact size, the Contours Itsy is a great option. The Contours Itsy comes almost completely assembled and all you have to do is snap in the bumper bar. It comes with a cup holder for the parent as well as a back pocket. However it doesn't come with an extra-large basket. This may limit your ability pack essentials for a long trip. If you're a frequent traveler we recommend that you consider a more robust stroller that has better features and the ability to hold more cargo. The UPPAbaby Miniu, for instance, comes with many of the same features as its G-Luxe and G-Link cousins however, it's smaller and folds more quickly. It's also slightly sturdier than an umbrella stroller, and comes with a comfortable carrying strap to take some of the weight off your shoulders. 4. Confortable Strollers are often used for prolonged periods of time while traveling, which is why comfort is important. Look for seats with ample padding and a recline feature that lets you set it at multiple angles. Take note of whether the canopy extends for sun protection and if the mesh windows allow airflow. If you need to carry your own items, consider a model with a parent organizer/cup holder and an ample storage basket underneath the seat. When you are looking for a travel Jogger for older children, make sure to check the age range. Also, think about whether your child is comfortable in the seat, even without an infant car-seat. The way that a stroller moves is also vital. It must be able to roll easily on different surfaces that include smooth carpets, hardwoods, cobblestones and gravel. It must be able to navigate curbs, stairs, and other obstacles with ease. If your plans for travel include the majority of walking, choose a light stroller to prevent leg and back soreness. A great stroller for travel is also easy to use. It should be easy to assemble and snap back together when it is placed in the right position. It must also be able to fold flat and fit in the car's boot or in the overhead compartment of planes. It should also stay upright when folded, so that you can grab it with a single hand and then hold your child in the other. For parents looking for a premium lightweight stroller for their child, the Joie Tourist is a great alternative. It has several recline positions, which means your child can rest comfortably, and its extendable canopy provides ample sun coverage and UPF protection. It also includes a rain cover, coffee cup holder, and footmuff. Charlotte is thrilled that the car seat is suitable for infants to four years old and does not require a separate adapter.
