The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers

This stroller is among the lightest, most compact and easiest to fold. It has a great ride with a great sun canopy, and a multi-position recline.

At less than $100 it's an excellent value. It comes with an easy compact fold and carry strap, so it's easy to sling over your shoulder or carry with you on public transport.

1. Lightweight

When it comes to travel strollers lightweight and easy to fold are key. The top models we tested can be folded with one hand and sometimes two, and they can fit into overhead compartments for luggage. They are also lightweight and easy to roll which makes them easy to maneuver into tight space. Some models have a telescoping hand to accommodate parents of different heights. If you're planning a brief trip with a newborn or a long-haul vacation with a toddler, you'll need a light, easy-to-pack stroller that will make the journey and return for your family.

We tested nine strollers that meet our minimum weight and size requirements. Each model was put to the test on country roads, city streets, and in the terminal at the airport for mobility, ease of folding and carrying, as well as overall comfort for your child.

Our most popular choice is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320) It folds the simplest of the strollers we tested, and can fit in the overhead bins of planes. It's car seat compatible and its seat can recline almost completely flat, making it suitable for infants. Other parent-friendly features include a deep undercarriage basket as well as a bag hook that is attached to the handle and a UPF 50+ canopy which provides ample coverage for your little traveler.

Other great alternatives include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), that features a one-handed concertina fold and is extremely light. Its five-point harness, padded and crotch straps keep your child secure, while the reversible seat and hefty undercarriage basket ensure there's room for all of their possessions. It is also compatible with the brand's infant car seat. This makes it a viable option for families starting that have children from birth.

The Coya TRVL ($320) is a different one-handed, one-step fold with car seat compatibility and a far-reaching canopy. It's more expensive than the other models in this category, but it offers extra features, including a larger parent pocket and cupholder and a handlebar that can be adjusted for parents of all heights and a comfortable carry strap. The simplicity of the model isn't without its drawbacks, when contrasted with other models in this category.

2. Folding is easy

A travel stroller should be easy to open and shut when you're on-the-go. You do not want a stroller which is difficult to close when you're carrying food items or children in your arms. The best travel strollers fold up easily and compactly, even with just one hand. Many have a padded strap that you can wear comfortably over your shoulders.

In our tests, we gave the Libelle stroller top marks for its compactness and ease of folding. However, it also has some nice features: It rolls smoothly over all surfaces and has a generous canopy that offers plenty of coverage. It's also surprisingly light and free-standing when folded which makes it easier to store.

For parents who want to roll right up to the plane gate and put their stroller into the overhead bin we suggest one that can fit into. The Munchkin Sparrow is a good example. It fits in the smallest folding and comes with a protective travel cover. However it doesn't have a reclining seat, and its cargo area is too small to accommodate anything but an infant diaper bag or a tote.

Another alternative is the Babyzen Yoyo 2, which folds into a concertina style but also features the option of a reversible seat to allow face-toface or back-toback riding. The handle is tucked behind the seat, however our managing editor didn't like the way it folded.

The newest type of stroller that is a travel model is the tri-fold, which folds into thirds and offers the most compact combination of size and features. The UPPAbaby Minu, for example, has a convertible seat, an unstructured rear storage pouch, and a locking clasp that keeps it folded. It's a bit bigger than the umbrellas of the brand but can be folded more compactly than G-Luxe or G-Link counterparts. It also has a padded shoulder strap.

3. Easy to store

The best strollers fold down into an easy-to-store size that's easy to fit in the trunk of your car or into the overhead bin on a plane. Some even have a carrying strap that is easy to carry over your shoulder and not need to worry about your hands getting tired. They are also lighter than normal strollers, which can make them easier to carry and lift when you're ready for an easy stroll around the neighborhood or at the airport.

When we test this stroller, it performed exceptionally well in our durability tests and was able to maneuver on all kinds of surfaces including smooth hardwoods to shag carpeting. Some of our testers found it a bit flimsy, and the handlebar wasn't padded to ensure that your hands are comfortably. The size of the basket should also be taken into consideration. It's quite small and some parents have found it difficult to squeeze a large size diaper bag into it.

In general, we recommend calling your airline ahead of time to confirm their specific guidelines regarding the use of strollers on planes and strollers, as they may vary. This is especially important if you want to check your stroller's gate-ability that allows you to get around the airport without it and still use it once you're on the plane (though this option isn't suitable for families who need a car seat or toddler booster).

The Contours Itsy travel stroller is an excellent option if you are looking for lightweight stroller a compact, lightweight stroller. It's almost fully assembled out of the box The only thing you have to do is put the bumper bar into place. It comes with cups holder for the parent as well as a back pocket. However it doesn't have an extra-large basket. This may make it difficult to pack the essentials for long trips.

If you're a frequent traveler we suggest a more robust stroller that offers better features and is able to hold more cargo. The UPPAbaby Minu, for example, has many of the same features as its G-Luxe and G-Link cousins however, it's smaller and folds more quickly. It's also a bit stronger than an umbrella stroller and it has a padded carrying strap to take some of the burden off your shoulders.

4. Confortable

Strollers are commonly used for long periods of time while traveling, so it is essential to be comfortable. Choose a seat with ample padding and a recline feature that lets you set it at multiple angles. Be sure to check if the canopy extends to provide shade from the sun and if it has mesh windows that allow airflow. Look for a model with an organizer for the parents or a cupholder, as well as a large basket under the seat, if you have to carry things with you. When looking for a child jogger, make sure to check the age range. Also, consider if your child is comfortable in the seat, even without a car seat.

How a stroller rolls is also crucial. It should be able to move easily across various surfaces such as smooth carpets, hardwoods, cobblestones and gravel. It should also handle stairs and curbs without difficulty. Choose a lightweight stroller if you intend to do a lot of walking throughout your trip. This will help to prevent leg and back pain.

A high-quality travel stroller should be easy to use, too. It should be assembled in less than 30 seconds and snap up securely when it is popped into the correct position. It should also fold down flat and fit into the trunk of your car or the overhead compartments on a plane. It should also stay upright when folded so that you can pick it up by one hand and hold your child in the other.

For parents looking for a high-quality lightweight stroller for their child The Joie Tourist is a great alternative. It offers several recline positions, which means your child can rest comfortably, and its extended canopy offers plenty of sun coverage with UPF protection. It also includes a rain cover, coffee cup holder, and a footmuff. Charlotte loves the fact that it is suitable from newborns to four years and does not require a separate car seat adapter.
