The Lightest, Most Compact and Easiest to Fold Travel Strollers

This stroller is among the smallest, lightest and easiest to fold. Despite its size it has an excellent ride, a great sun canopy and multi-position recline.

For less than $100, this stroller is an excellent value. It features a simple compact fold, as well as a carry strap, which makes it easy to sling over your shoulders or take on public transportation.

1. Lightweight

When it comes to travel strollers, lightweight and easy-to-fold are essential. The top models we tested fold down using only one hand (and sometimes two) and can fit in overhead luggage compartments. They are also compact and roll well making them easy to maneuver into tight space. Some even come with the option of a telescoping handle to parents of various heights. If you're planning a short trip with your newborn or a long-haul getaway with a toddler, look for a light, easy-to-pack stroller that makes the journey and return -- easier for your family.

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

Our most popular choice is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320) that folds the most easily of the strollers we tested and fits in overhead bins on planes. It's car seat-compatible and the seat reclines completely flat, making it suitable for babies. The car also features an undercarriage with a deep design, a bag-hook on the handle and a UPF50+ canopy that will ensure the safety of your child.

The Cybex Orfeo (320) is another option. It features the ability to fold in concertina that can be done using just one hand, and is extremely light. Its five-point harness, padded and crotch straps keep your child safe, and the reversible seat and a large undercarriage basket will ensure that there is plenty of space for their items. It's also compatible with the brand's infant car seat which makes it a feasible option for families who start from the age of birth.

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

2. Folding is simple

When you're on the move, your stroller has to be simple to open and close. If you have a bag of groceries or children in your arms you shouldn't have to struggle with a cumbersome stroller to close it. Even with only one hand, the most efficient travel strollers can fold up easily and compactly. Many come with a padded carrying strap that is comfortable over your shoulder.

In our tests In our tests, the Libelle stroller was rated highly for its effortless fold and compact size. But it also has other excellent features: It glides effortlessly over all surfaces and has a generous canopy that gives plenty of coverage. Plus, it's surprisingly lightweight and free-standing when folded, which makes it easy to store.

For parents who want to stroll right up to the plane gate and put their stroller into an overhead bin, we suggest looking for an option that will fit in. The Munchkin Sparrow, for example, fits nicely into the smallest fold, and comes with a convenient travel cover, but it has no reclining seat and a tiny cargo space that can only hold a small tote or diaper bag (no backpacks).

Another option is the Babyzen Yoyo 2, which folds up into a concertina-style but also features a reversible seat for back-to-back or face-to-face riding. The handle is tucked behind the seat, but our managing editor didn't like the fold.

The newest type of travel stroller is the tri-fold, which folds in thirds, and offers the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Minu, for example, has a reclined seat, a non-structured rear storage pouch, and a locking clasp that keeps it folded. It's a bit bigger than the umbrella models from the brand however, it folds more compactly than G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts, and comes with a padded carry strap that can be slung over your shoulder.

3. Easy to store

The best travel strollers fold down to an easy-to-store size that is easy to fit into the trunk of your car, or into the overhead bin on a plane. Some models even come with a carrying strap that is easy to carry on your shoulders, so you don't have to be concerned about your hands getting tired. They're also lighter than normal strollers. This makes them easier to lift or carry for a quick walk in the neighborhood or at the airport.

When we test this stroller, it did extremely well in our durability tests and was able to maneuver across all kinds of surfaces from smooth hardwoods to shag carpeting. However some of our testers found it to be a bit thin and the handlebar does not have any padding to keep your hands comfortable. The size of the storage basket is also something to consider. It is on the small side and some parents have found it difficult to squeeze a large size diaper bag inside it.

We suggest that you contact your airline ahead to inquire about their specific rules regarding strollers. They can differ. This is crucial if you plan to gate-check your stroller travel. You can then use it on the plane and navigate the airport without a stroller.

If you're looking for a no-fuss stroller that's light and folds down to an extremely compact size, the Contours Itsy is a great choice. The Contours Itsy is completely assembled, and all you have to do is put in the bumper bar. It has cups holder for the parent, as well as an additional back pocket. However it doesn't come with an oversized basket. This may limit your ability pack essentials for a long trip.

If you are frequent travelers, we suggest you look into a stroller that is more robust, with more features and the ability to hold more cargo. The UPPAbaby Mini, as an instance, has many of its G-Luxe and G-Link siblings with features, but it is more compact and folds faster. It's also slightly more robust than an umbrella stroller, and has a padded strap to lift some of the burden off your shoulders.

4. Comfortable

Strollers are often used for long periods of time while traveling, and the comfort of the stroller is crucial. Find seats with plenty of padding and a recline system that lets you set it at different angles. Be aware of whether the canopy extends to provide sun protection and if mesh windows promote airflow. If you have to carry a few items take a look at a model that has an organizer for parents and a cup holder as well as a large storage basket under the seat. When shopping for a travel child jogger be sure to verify the age range. Also, consider whether your child is comfortable in the seat even without a car seat for infants.

How a stroller rolls is also crucial. It must be able to roll easily over various surfaces including smooth hardwoods, shag carpets to cobblestones, and gravel. It must be able to navigate steps, curbs and other obstacles easily. Choose a lightweight stroller if you intend to do a lot of walking during your journey. This will help prevent leg and back pain.

A quality stroller for travel is one that is easy to use, as well. It should be simple to assemble and snap back together when put in the proper place. It should also fold flat and fit into the trunk of your car, or the overhead compartments of planes. It should also stay upright when folded, so you can grab it using one hand and hold your child in the other.

If you're a parent who's looking for a premium, lightweight travel stroller the Joie Tourist is a great option. It has several recline positions to allow your child to sleep comfortably. The extendable canopy offers ample sun protection, with UPF protection. It also comes with a lot of other baby Accessories; a footmuff, cup holder, and rain cover are included. Charlotte is thrilled that it's suitable for babies up to four years old and doesn't require a separate car seat adapter.
