Features

Pick the best stroller for your trip, whether you're on vacation or traveling for business. Be aware of the weight and age of your child, in addition to features like a reclining recline and plenty of storage and weather protection. Pick a model that is able to fold and unfold easily using one hand. This is crucial especially if you're handling a small child.

We loved the egg2's small fold and light, sturdy feel. It also comes with a ergonomic handlebar with a comfortable cushion, an adjustable recline mechanism, and a large underseat basket. The only downsides are a stiff leg rest as well as a limited amount of storage space. The leg rest basket as well as the leg rests can both fit in inside a small bag however to do this, you will need to remove the cushion on the seat. The seat doesn't have an ample pocket. This can be a hassle when you're trying to balance several bags and a squirmy child.

If you're looking for a more economical single-handle, then take a look at the Qbit+ All by GB City. It's akin to the Nuna Trvl, with its one-hand folding feature as well as an accessible leg rest. It does not have the same amount of storage under the carriage as other models, and its canopy is smaller.

In our tests the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth and easy ride over most surfaces. It rolled easily over asphalted sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel and held up well during our tests of durability. It also comes with a range of options for customization, including a newborn's bassinet attachment and the rider board.

A great option for parents who frequently travel This lightweight stroller folds in half to fit in an overhead bin on trains or planes. The stroller is sleek, modern design with an encasement on the front for parents' phones and a bigger pocket at the back for larger bags or weekenders. The padded seat is nicely designed, and the buckle system is equipped with magnetic buckles that are easy to use and quick to secure even with a toddler in tow. It's also one of only a handful of models we tested with brake feet which makes it much easy to stop when needed.

Design

If you're planning to travel with a stroller, choose a model that is easy to fold and carry and transport with other luggage. Some of these travel strollers even have a carrying case or strap that allows you sling them over your shoulder. These strollers are great for long days of sightseeing or to navigate narrow aisles on public transport.

Consider features such as the size of the basket and the canopy when you choose a single-hand folding stroller. Also consider whether you require a tray for the parents or an adjustable leg rest and the weight that the stroller can carry.

The Nuna Trvl is GH's favorite stroller that is one-handed. It's a lightweight travel stroller that's easy to handle, has a deep recline and a large storage basket. It's also beautiful and is able to roll smoothly on all surfaces and makes sharp turns.

Other notable lightweight travel strollers include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a spot on our top car seat travel systems list) as well as the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and comes with an all-hands-on-one-hand, self-standing fold. It's a bit heavier than the other top models in this category However, its front wheel could be more effective at absorption of bumps.

The UPPAbaby Mini comes with many of the same features as the larger prams of the company, but folds more compactly. It can fit in most overhead bins on planes. The seat padding is thick and the recline system is easy to use. It also comes with a lovely, unstructured rear storage pouch and a locking clasp that allows the stroller to fold when it is in use.

This nimble stroller folds down into a very compact, lightweight package and can fit in overhead bins for airlines, making it perfect for air travel. It also has an ample storage basket as well as a tray for children. Although it has a few drawbacks that aren't as obvious, like its restricted recline (it is able to only go to a slightly reclined position) and instructions that use images instead of words, it's an excellent option for families that require an easy stroller that is light enough for short trips.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is particularly suitable for travelers. It's extremely light (13.7 pounds) and has a compact and compact fold that makes it easy to squeeze into airplane aisles and overhead bins. It also comes with decent features for its price. It's compatible with many car seat brands and is among the lightest strollers for travel on the market.

However, it's not the easiest to handle. Its narrow base and the limited storage under the car could make it less suitable for longer trips or errands. It's also not the smoothest rider on all terrains and tends to sway when bumps occur. The newer version has a more comfortable and well cushioned seat, but it's still not as high-end.

In general, we recommend single-handed strollers that have brakes that are easy to lock, and a large undercarriage for storage. We also recommend a cushioned harness and seat for comfort, a convenient cup holder for parents and a foot brake that's easy to use.
