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. It has a great ride with a great sun canopy, and a multi-position recline.

This stroller is an excellent value at less than $100. It has a simple compact fold and carry strap, so it's easy to carry 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 most popular models we tested could be folded with one hand and sometimes two and fit into overhead compartments for luggage. They are also compact and easily roll, making them easy to maneuver into tight spaces. Some even offer a telescoping handle for parents of various heights. If you're planning a short trip with your newborn or a long-haul getaway with a toddler, look for an easy-to-pack stroller that will make the journey -- and return -- easier for your family.

To determine the top strollers for travel, we analyzed nine strollers that meet our minimum weight and size requirements. Each model was tested on city streets as well as on country side walks and in the airport terminal to assess its ability to maneuver, its ease of folding and carrying as well as overall comfort for the child.

Our top picks are the Babyzen YoYo2 ($320) It has the simplest fold of all the strollers that we've tested and can fit into airplane overhead bins. It's compatible with car seats and the seat reclines completely flat, making it suitable for babies. Other features that parents will appreciate include a deep undercarriage storage basket and a bag hook attached to the handle, and a UPF 50+ canopy that provides ample coverage for your young traveler.

Other great alternatives include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), which features a single-handed concertina fold that is extremely light. The padded five-point harness, an adjustable crotch strap and a reversible seat keep your child safe and secure, while a large undercarriage basket as well as a reversible seat will ensure there is room for their belongings. It's also compatible with the brand's infant car seat, making it a viable option for families that start at the age of birth.

The Coya TRVL ($320) is a one-handed, one step fold and is also compatible with car seats and features a large canopy. It's more expensive than the other models in this category however it has additional features such as a large cupholder and parent pocket, an adjustable handlebar for parents of all heights, and a comfortable carry strap. The simplicity of the model isn't without its drawbacks, when compared to other models in this category.

2. Easy to fold

When you're on the go, your stroller has to be easy to open and close. You do not want a stroller that is difficult to close when you're carrying children or groceries in your arms. Even with just one hand, the most convenient strollers for travel can fold up 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 for its compactness and ease of folding. It also has a few attractive features. It is smooth on all surfaces and has an extensive canopy that gives enough coverage. Plus, it's surprisingly lightweight and self-standing when folded, which makes it easier to store.

Parents who want to stroll right up to the plane gate and then put their stroller into the overhead bin, we suggest one that can fit inside. The Munchkin Sparrow is a good example. It fits into the smallest Folding Stroller space and comes with a protective travel cover. However it doesn't come with an adjustable seat and its cargo space is too small to hold anything other than the smallest diaper bag or a tote.

Another alternative is the Babyzen Yoyo 2, which folds into a concertina style but also has a reversible seat for back-to-back or face-to-face riding. Our managing editor found it easy to open and close, but she wasn't crazy about how the handle slides behind the seat when folded.

The newest type of stroller that is a travel model is the tri-fold, which folds into thirds and offers the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Miniu, for instance, has a reversible chair and a storage compartment that is unstructured on the rear, and a locking latch to keep it folded. It's a little bigger than the umbrella models made by the brand, but it folds far more compactly than its G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts and has an adjustable carry strap that fits over your shoulder.

3. Easy to store

The most effective travel strollers fold down into smaller, compact size that is easy to fit in the trunk of your car or squeeze into the overhead bin of the plane. Some even have a carrying strap that is easy to sling over your shoulder, so you don't need to worry about your hands getting tired. They are also lighter than normal strollers, which can make them easy to lift and carry when you're ready to take a stroll around the neighborhood or to the airport.

When we test this stroller, it performed exceptionally well in our durability tests, and it was easy to maneuver on all kinds of surfaces including smooth hardwoods to shag carpeting. However some of our testers noticed that it was a bit fragile and the handlebar doesn't have any padding to keep your hands comfy. The size of the basket is also something to consider. It is on the small side and some parents have reported that it was difficult to squeeze a large size diaper bag into it.

In general, we suggest calling your airline ahead of time to confirm their specific guidelines regarding the use of strollers on planes, as they can vary. This is especially crucial if you plan to check your stroller's gate that allows you to navigate the airport without it and still use it once you're on the plane (though that option won't work for families who need an infant car seat or booster).

The Contours Itsy travel stroller is an excellent choice for those who need a light, compact stroller. It's almost fully assembled straight out of the box, and the only thing you need to do is snap the bumper bar into the right position. It comes with a parent cup holder and a back pocket, but no oversized basket that could restrict your ability to carry essentials for long trips.

If you're a frequent traveler we suggest you consider a more robust pushchair stroller that offers better features and is able to hold more cargo. The UPPAbaby Mini, for example has many of its G-Luxe and G-Link siblings with features, but it is smaller and folds more quickly. It's also a bit more durable than an umbrella stroller, and it has a padded carrying strap that takes some of the weight off your shoulders.

4. Confortable

It is important to be comfortable when using strollers over long periods of time. Find seats with plenty of padding and recline systems that allows you to position it at different angles. Take note of whether the canopy extends for sun protection and if mesh windows promote airflow. If you have to carry items with you, consider a model with cups and organizers for parents as well as an enormous storage basket beneath the seat. If you're in the market for a stroller for older children, make sure to check the age range and consider whether your child is comfortable in the stroller without a car seat for infants.

It is also essential to think about how a stroller rolls. It should be able to move easily across various surfaces such as smooth carpets, hardwoods, cobblestones, and gravel. It must be able to navigate curbs, stairs, and other obstacles easily. Pick a stroller that is lightweight for those who are planning to do a lot of walking during your journey. This will help prevent back and leg pain.

A great stroller for travel is also easy to use. It should be simple to put together and snap together when it is placed in the right position. It should also fold down flat enough to fit in the boot of your car, or the overhead compartments of planes. It should also be upright when folded so that you can pick it with one hand while holding your child in the other.

If you're a parent who's seeking a top-quality lightweight stroller for their child the Joie Tourist is a great option. It offers numerous recline positions so your child can rest comfortably. Its extensible canopy provides plenty of sun protection with UPF protection. It also comes with a rain cover and a coffee cup holder and a footmuff. Charlotte is delighted that the car seat is suitable for newborns to four years old and does not require an adapter separately.
