The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers
This stroller is among the lightest and most compact. It's also among the easiest folding strollers. Despite its size, it provides a good ride, fantastic sun canopy, and a multi-position recline.
This stroller is an excellent value at less than $100. It features an easy compact fold and carry strap, so it's easy to put it over your shoulders or take to public transportation.
1. Lightweight
The most important thing to consider when choosing a travel stroller is that it must be lightweight and easy to fold. The top models we tested could be folded in one hand and sometimes with two, and they can fit into overhead compartments for luggage. They are also compact and easily roll which makes them easy to maneuver in tight space. Some models come with a telescoping handle to accommodate parents of different heights. Whether you're planning a quick trip with a newborn or a long-haul trip with a toddler, you'll need a light, easy-to-pack stroller to make the journey -- and return -- easier for your family.
We tested nine strollers that met our minimum size and weight requirements. Each model was tested on city streets and country side walks and in the terminal at the airport to assess its mobility, the ease of carrying and folding stroller and overall comfort for the child.
Our top choice is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320) It folds the simplest of the strollers we tested and is able to fit into the overhead bins of airplanes. It's compatible with car seats and its seat reclines almost completely flat, which makes it suitable for infants. Other features that are suitable for parents include a deep undercarriage storage basket as well as a bag hook that is attached to the handle and a UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of coverage for your little traveler.
Other options include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), which features a single-handed concertina fold that is extremely light. Its five-point harness, padded and crotch straps keep your child safe, and the reversible seat and hefty undercarriage basket ensure there's enough space for all their belongings. It's also compatible with the brand's infant car seat, making it a viable option for families who start from the time of birth.
Lastly, the Coya TRVL ($320) is a different one-handed fold that is one-step with car seat compatibility and a wide canopy. It's a bit more expensive than other models in this class, but it offers extra features like a large cupholder for the parent and a handlebar that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of all heights, and a comfortable carry strap. Its simplicity is sacrificed for some of its durability in comparison to the other models in this category, however.
2. Folding is simple
When you're on the go, a travel stroller needs to be easy to open and close. If you're carrying a bag of groceries, or children in your arms, you don't want to wrestle with a complex stroller to close it. The best travel strollers fold up easily and compactly, even when you only have one hand. Many come with a cushioned strap that you can put comfortably over your shoulders.
In our tests, we gave the Libelle stroller high marks for its compactness and its ease of folding. However, it also has some great features: It can roll effortlessly over all surfaces and has a generous canopy that provides ample coverage. Additionally, it's extremely light and free-standing when folded making it easy to store.
For parents who want to stroll right up to the gate and pop their stroller into an overhead bin, we suggest a model that promises to fit inside. 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 have a reclining seat and the cargo area is too small to accommodate anything other than the smallest diaper bag or a tote.
The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another option. It folds concertina style, but it offers a reversible seat to ride face-to-face or back-to-back. Our editor found it a breeze to open and close, although she wasn't thrilled by how the handle slides up behind the seat when folded.
The newest model of stroller that is a travel model is the tri-fold. It folds in thirds, and offers the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Minu, for instance, comes with a reversible seat, an unstructured rear storage pouch, and a lockable clasp that keeps it folded. It's a little bigger than the umbrella models from the brand however it folds more compactly than its G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts, and comes with an adjustable carry strap that can be worn over your shoulder.
3. Easy to store
The best travel strollers can be folded down to a size that is easy to store. They can be easily stored in the trunk of a car, or in the overhead bin of a plane. Some come with a strap you can use to carry the stroller on your shoulder to ensure that your hands won't be tired. They're also lighter than standard strollers. This makes them easier to lift or carry for a stroll in the neighborhood or at the airport.
This stroller performed exceptionally excellently in our durability tests and was easy to maneuver on any type of surface. From smooth hardwoods to shag flooring this stroller is an excellent choice. Some of our test subjects thought it was a bit fragile, and the handlebar was not padded to ensure that your hands are comfortable. The size of the basket should also be taken into consideration. It's quite small and some parents have reported that it was difficult to fit a large diaper bag into it.
In general, we suggest calling your airline prior to time to confirm their specific guidelines for bringing strollers on board as they may differ. This is important if you plan to gate-check a stroller. You can then use it on the plane and travel the airport without a stroller.
If you're looking for a simple stroller that's light and folds down to an extremely compact size, the Contours Itsy is a great choice. The Contours Itsy comes completely assembled, and all you have to do is snap in the bumper bar. It has a cup for parents holder and back pocket, but no oversized basket that could limit your ability to pack essentials for a long-distance trip.
If you are frequent travelers, we suggest you look into a more robust stroller that has more features and the capacity to carry more cargo. The UPPAbaby Minu, as an instance, comes with many of the same features similar to its G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts but is smaller and folds up more quickly. It's also slightly more durable than an umbrella stroller, and has a strap that is padded to alleviate some of the burden off your shoulders.
4. Comfortable
Comfort is key when using strollers for extended durations of time. Choose a seat with ample padding and a recline system that lets you set it at multiple angles. Note if the canopy extends to provide sun protection, and if the mesh windows encourage airflow. If you need to carry items with you take a look at a model that has cups and organizers for parents as well as a large storage basket under the seat. If you're looking for a travel stroller for older children, make sure to check the age range and determine whether your child is comfortable in the stroller without a car seat for infants.
It is also important to think about how a stroller is rolled. It should be able to move easily across various surfaces, including smooth hardwoods, shag carpets, cobblestones, and gravel. It should also handle stairs and curbs without difficulty. If your travel plans include lots of walking, opt for a light stroller to help you avoid leg and back pain.
A high-quality travel stroller is one that is easy to use, as well. It should be easy to assemble and snap together when it is placed in the right location. It should also fold flat and fit into the boot of your car, or the overhead compartments on a plane. It should also be upright when folded so that you can grab it with one hand while holding your baby stroller in the opposite.
If you are a parent looking for a high-quality lightweight stroller for travel, the Joie Tourist is a great option. It has numerous recline positions so your child can rest comfortably. Its extendable canopy provides plenty of sun protection with UPF protection. It also comes with a rain cover as well as a coffee cup holder and footmuff. Charlotte loves the fact that it is suitable for babies up to four years old and does not require a separate car seat adapter.
