The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers

This stroller is among the lightest and most compact. It's also one of the easiest folding strollers. Despite its size, it provides an excellent ride, a great sun canopy and multi-position recline.

This stroller is a great value at less than $100. It has a simple, compact fold and a carry strap, which makes it easy to sling over your shoulders or take to public transportation.

1. Lightweight

When it comes to strollers for travel, lightweight and easy-to-fold are the most important factors. The best models we tested can be folded with one hand and sometimes two, and they can fit in overhead luggage compartments. They also can roll easily and are compact enough to easily maneuver in tight spaces. Some models have a telescoping handle for parents of varying heights. If you're planning a short trip with your newborn or a long-haul getaway with a toddler, find an easy-to-pack stroller that will make the journey -- and return -- easier for your family.

We evaluated 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 determine its maneuverability, ease of folding and carrying and overall comfort for the child.

Our top pick is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320) It folds the easiest of all the strollers we tested and fits in overhead bins on airplanes. It's car seat compatible and the seat reclines completely flat, making it suitable for babies. The car also has a deep undercarriage and a bag-hook attached to the handle and a UPF50+ canopy that will ensure the safety of your child.

Other great options include the Cybex Orfeo ($320), that features a one-handed concertina fold and is extremely light. Its five-point harness, padded and crotch strap keep your child safe, and the reversible seat as well as a hefty undercarriage basket ensure there's enough space for all their items. It's also compatible with the brand's infant car seat. This makes it an ideal option for families starting that have children from birth.

The Coya TRVL ($320), one-handed, one-step fold that is also compatible with car seats and comes with an enormous canopy. It's more expensive than the other models in this category, but offers additional features like a large cupholder and a parent's pocket, an adjustable handlebar to fit parents of all heights, and a comfortable carry strap. The simplicity of the model does not mean it's as durable, as relative to other models in this class.

2. Easy to fold

If you're constantly on the move, a travel stroller needs to be simple to open and close. You don't want a stroller that 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 one hand. Many have a padded strap that you can wear comfortably over your shoulders.

In our tests In our tests, the Libelle stroller scored highly for its easy folding and compact size. However, it also has some nice features: It rolls smoothly over all surfaces and comes with a huge canopy that gives ample coverage. It's also extremely light and stands on its own when folded. This makes it much easier to put away.

We recommend parents who want their strollers to fit into the overhead bins of planes and are looking for models that promise to fit. The Munchkin Sparrow, for Foldable Pushchair example is a great fit in the smallest folding Stroller space and comes with a handy protective travel cover, but it has no reclining seat and a tiny cargo area that can accommodate a small bag or diaper bag (no backpacks).

Another option 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. The handle is hidden behind the seat, however our editor didn't love the way it folded.

The tri-fold is the newest stroller that travels. It folds in three parts and offers the most compact combination of size and features. The UPPAbaby Miniu, as an example, comes with a reversible seat with a storage pouch that is not structured in the rear, and a locking latch to keep it folded. It's slightly larger than the umbrellas from the brand, but can be folded more compactly than G-Luxe or G-Link counterparts. It also comes with a padded shoulder strap.

3. Easy to store

The best strollers fold up 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 models come with a strap can be used to carry the stroller over your shoulder so your hands don't get exhausted. They are also lighter than normal strollers. This makes them easy to lift and carry for a quick walk in the neighborhood or at the airport.

When we tested this stroller, it did exceptionally well in our tests of durability and was able to maneuver across all kinds of surfaces, from smooth hardwoods to shag carpeting. Some of our test subjects thought it was a bit fragile, and the handlebar wasn't padding to ensure your hands were comfortable. The size of the basket should also be considered. It's quite small and some parents have reported that it was difficult to fit a large diaper bag inside it.

We suggest calling your airline in advance to confirm their specific guidelines concerning strollers. They can differ. This is especially important if you want to gate-check your stroller and allow you to navigate the airport without it, and then use it once you're on the plane (though this isn't a viable option for families who need a car seat or toddler booster).

The Contours Itsy travel stroller is an excellent choice if you want a lightweight, compact stroller. It's almost fully assembled right out of the box, and the only thing you have to do is to snap the bumper bar in the right position. It comes with cups holder for the parent, as well as a back pocket. However it doesn't have an extra-large basket. This could limit your ability pack essentials for a long journey.

If you're frequent travelers, we recommend you look into a stroller that is more robust, with more features and the capacity to hold more items. The UPPAbaby Minu, for example, has many of the same features similar to 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

It is important to be comfortable when using strollers for long durations of time. Find seats with plenty of padding and a recline feature that allows you to position it at different angles. Be aware of whether the canopy extends for sun protection and if mesh windows allow airflow. Consider a model that has a parent organizer/cupholder and an enormous basket underneath the seat in case you need to carry things around. When looking for a child jogger be sure to verify the age range. Also, consider if your child is comfortable in the seat, even without an infant car-seat.

It is also essential to consider the way a stroller moves. It must be able to roll effortlessly over a variety of surfaces, from smooth hardwoods and shag carpets to cobblestones and gravel. It should also be able to navigate stairs and curbs without difficulty. Choose a lightweight stroller for those who are planning to do a lot of walking during your trip. This will prevent leg and back pain.

A quality stroller for travel should also be simple to use. It should assemble in under 30 seconds and snap up securely when it is popped in the right place. It should also fold down flat and fit into the boot of your car or in the overhead compartments of a plane. It should also be upright when folded so that you can pick it up with one hand, while holding your child in the other.

The Joie Tourist is an excellent option for parents seeking a light quality, high-end travel stroller. It comes with various recline positions, so that your child can nap in comfort. The canopy that extends can provide plenty of sun protection with UPF protection. Plus, it includes a variety of additional features; a footmuff, coffee cup holder and rain cover are all included. Charlotte loves the fact that it is suitable for babies up to four years old and does not require an adapter for car seats separately.
