How to Choose a Travel Stroller

If you are a frequent traveler or if your regular strolls include a short out-and-back walk and a lot of visits to the local park you should consider purchasing a lightweight stroller that can be packed. They fold easily, and they fit into trunks, trains, buses and planes.

The Nuna Trvl is small and fits in the overhead bins of most planes. It's also easy to put together and comes with excellent features, including a simple, adjustable reclining seat.

Easy to Assemble

It's easy to put together, and is also very simple to use. The frame opens and folds in one hand, and the seat reclines in two different positions. It also comes with an adjustable bumper bar that can be taken off and on easily and the handlebar appears and feels nice as well. The lack of storage on the handle means that parents are required to carry a large bag or drape it delicately over the handle, which is against expert advice.

The stroller that is lightweight rolls effortlessly over all surfaces, even rough sidewalks. It also makes crisp turns. It has larger foam-filled wheels than those of some other models we've tested which gives it a little more bounce and more stability. Some parents have complained that the tires are not durable.

In its compact form the stroller can be tucked away in the overhead bins on most aircrafts and weighs less than 13 pounds. Its basic design means that it doesn't have many extra features, but it's a solid option for frequent flyers. Be aware that collapsible walkers are considered "carry on" baggage, and might have to be checked by your airline if they are subject to strict baggage restrictions.

If you frequently travel it may be a good idea to invest more money in a stroller that has advanced features. These higher-end models typically provide more storage options, such as large underseat baskets, and they're typically easier to assemble and fold. Many of these strollers also come with adjustable harnesses as well as other safety features you may not find on less basic models. Be sure to check with your airline to learn their policies for checking strollers and follow their instructions to the letter to avoid any unforeseen issues. It is also essential to read your stroller's manual and especially the sections related to safety. Be sure to know how to properly use the straps and ensure they are secured. Always supervise your child and only use the stroller at a safe speed. This will reduce the chance of injury in case your stroller falls over or veers off.

Easy to Fold

One of the most important aspects of a good stroller is the fact that it folds down into a compact and compact Strollers manageable package. Some models do this very well, such as the light JOOVY TRVL which folded down in just four seconds during our tests and can stand upright when folded. This makes it easy to store and transport in the trunk or closet.

The UPPAbaby MINU V2 is another stroller that folds easily and weighs less than 17 pounds. It also has an ample underseat storage basket that can accommodate a large backpack or diaper bag. The footrest that is reversible can double as an handle when the stroller is in its folded position. This feature was a major benefit during our testing, but unfortunately it also exposed the stroller to airline damage when one of our editors was not able to close the stroller when she was taking the stroller for her flight. The baggage handler snapped the footrest, and the UPPAbaby warranty will not cover damages caused by the airline.

In contrast to umbrella strollers, the majority of the other travel strollers we've looked at utilize a variety of hinges and joints to fold up into a more squarish package. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe, childs pram for example, folds in just three seconds and stands up when done. However the button/ring combination can be finicky and requires you to be sure to time it right.

It is also important to think about how the stroller locks in its compact closed position. Certain models require you to pull down the handle or lever near the rear wheels. Other models have red straps that need to be joined. It's a good idea to read the owner's manual for details on each model's locking mechanism and how it works.

If you do encounter a stroller that is difficult to close, try using a product such as baby oil or WD-40 to help lubricate the joints and connections. If it doesn't work, you can contact the customer support of the manufacturer or use a stroller repair service. But don't force it; forcing a stroller to close that's not meant to be closed can cause damage or injury to you and your child.

Easy to Carry

Whether you're planning a day of errands to run or a family vacation it's essential to have access to your stroller. Travel strollers fold down compactly and are lightweight which makes them easy to carry and transport. They can be put in your car, or in a closet at home. Some models come with bags for storage to make moving and securing them easier.

Before you pick a stroller for your travels, consider how you plan to use it. Do you want it to accompany you on airplane trips or be used on road trip visits, or be used regularly around town? This will help you narrow your choices. If you're traveling with a baby, search for a travel stroller that's car seat-compatible to save yourself time and stress. If you have a toddler, think about an option with a larger rear seat to provide more comfort and legroom.

Check with your airline to confirm that the stroller you pick can fit into their overhead bins. Many airlines will gate-check strollers that are too large to fit in the cabin. Certain airlines will transfer strollers to the hold when their baggage allowance is exceeded.

If you plan to use your stroller on a regular basis opt for a model with wheels that are smaller and more durable than those on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are easier to maneuver and less likely to be damaged or punctured. You might also want to add some wheel covers for extra protection.

Make sure you have a lock in place in case you intend to take your stroller unattended to the beach or other public areas. It's also recommended to attach a portable umbrella to your stroller to provide sun protection. You can attach a utility bag to the handlebar to do your shopping without hassle or carry an aloe vera bottle. A set of carabiners in the front of your stroller will allow you to keep water bottles and snacks close to hand.

Easy to store

The best travel strollers are easy to maintain and to store. To keep your stroller in good condition and ready for use, first vacuum all surfaces to get rid of dust and crumbs. If stains are evident, a cloth with mild detergent and warm water is all you need. For difficult-to-access areas, a toothbrush can also be useful. For parts that aren't made of fabric such as the handlebars and wheels a damp, clean cloth is enough but it's recommended to regularly grease moving parts to prevent corrosion.

Some travel strollers like the chit chat lightweight stroller, have a tray for parents to keep personal items and one or more cup holders, making it easy to take care of essentials while on the move. Other models offer a more complete tray for parents, which includes the ability to hold a laptop or tablet. These features not only help parents stay well-organized, but they reduce stress during long trips.

A quality travel stroller should be able to fold down and fit into tight spaces, such as the overhead bin of an aircraft or public transport. Many parents prefer strollers that can be folded and stored in a carry bag, instead of having to check them at the gate with luggage.

When evaluating strollers for ease of storage, be sure to take into consideration the space you have at home as well. If you're only blessed with a little space, a smaller stroller might be your best option. But, if you intend on frequent trips that require the stroller to be carried by car or public transportation, a larger product that has better performance in everyday use and storage might be better suited.

Some strollers are offered as part of an overall travel system that also includes a car seat. They can be purchased for the same price or less than buying the items on their own. While this is an excellent option but it's important to keep in mind that the quality of the stroller included in these bundles is often considered to be less than standalone models. We suggest that you consider these options as a last resort.
