A Compact Travel Stroller Should Be Easy to Carry

You need a compact travel stroller that can be folded up into a small package. It should be light, feature an auto seat-compatible design and be able to fit in overhead bins for airline bags.

This compact stroller made by UPPAbaby is the perfect stroller. It folds easily and comes with a padded strap for carrying. It also fits in the overhead compartments of planes. It has an easy, almost flat recline and smooth movement.

Easy to Assemble

If you're walking through the airport on your way to the gate, or navigating an unfamiliar city with your baby in the stroller, traveling can be stressful enough without worrying about how to pack and haul everything. We believe that a quality travel pram should be easy to fold, assemble and carry. And that's exactly the features this light Kolcraft model has to offer. The compact, lightweight stroller can be shut and opened by pressing two buttons at the handle while standing up. It also fits into the overhead bins of most planes, and comes with a great carrying bag that's perfect to carry the stroller on your shoulder when you're on your go.

In our tests, this light stroller rolled easily over all kinds of terrain, and was able to maneuver well which makes it a good pick for travel. It also features a huge sun canopy with a zip-open mesh segment that provides plenty of coverage and visibility for your little one, as well as an adjustable leg rest and shoulder straps with padding. It also fits on most Nuna PIPA car seats (just click and you're finished) and comes with a large storage bag that can accommodate the majority of your necessities in the car.

This ultra-compact stroller from Babyzen is a popular choice for parents who reside in cities and/or want to travel. It arrives in the box already assembled and is just as easy to open with two buttons on the handle. It folds back with ease and can be put into the, included carrying bag. It could be too big for some overhead bins at airports. Some parents also complained about the handles being flimsy. It's still an excellent option for those looking for an easy-to-use, compact stroller. We just wish it had a small parent pocket to hold things like dollar bills to buy Ice cream!

Easy to Fold

Travel strollers are small as the name suggests. They are smaller and lighter than regular strollers, and they have fewer features like cup holders and storage baskets. However, they should still be able to function effectively enough for day-to-day use and be easy to carry or stow away. You should consider a stroller that is suitable for your requirements if you intend to travel frequently with your child.

For instance the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is easy to fold and can fit into overhead bins. It's also easy to roll and maneuver, even on rough terrain. The UPPAbaby also has some nice touches, such as the deep recline as well as an extra sun canopy that offers your child plenty of coverage. The only downside is that the mechanism for folding isn't the most reliable and you may need to be very careful with your fingers to make sure it's just right.

Another option is the Babyzen YOYO2 that folds to a tiny size and springs open by a single hand. It does not have as much storage space as other strollers but it comes with some nice features, such as a comfortable carry strap, a spacious undercarriage basket and a wide-extending canopy. It's our most expensive travel stroller but also the most luxurious.

The Cybex Libelle 2 travel stroller is a different model that folds easy to fold. It weighs more than other travel strollers, yet it's compact and lightweight enough to be a great choice for luxury travel and city living. It's got a lot of great features, such as the cup holder that can be used for the typical cup, a handle that is easy to carry and a canopy to protect your child against the sun.

The Mini model from UPPAbaby is a great option for those who own the Vista or Cruz strollers from this brand and want an easier version. It's lighter than the original Minu but it's still a bit heavy for a travel pram. It comes with a myriad of other amazing features, including a large storage basket, a deep reclining seat and an extendable canopy with UPF protection of 50+.

It is easy to carry

If you're taking your baby on an airplane or putting it into your car for road trips the ease with which your travel stroller folds down can make a huge difference in how easy it is to get through a busy airport or crowded bus. A great travel stroller will easily fit into your trunk or overhead bin using a couple of quick controlled movements, and remain standing by itself when folded. You should be able lift it by its handle, attach a carrying strap, or place it in the storage bag that comes with it to make transporting it easier.

If you're planning on using your stroller while traveling, make sure it's approved by the airline or it will fit in the overhead bins. The International Air Transport Association recommends carry-on luggage that's no bigger than 22 x18 x 10 inches. Many of our top picks, such as the ultra-lightweight Nuna TRVL, which is priced at $100 or more, fit in these bins (although some require gate inspection). The TRVL is so light, you can carry it as a bag. It has a padded shoulder strap and a bumper bar which doubles as a handle.

The TRVL is a fantastic choice for parents who are on the move and is compatible with all Nuna Pipa infant car seats without the need for adapters. Our experts are awestruck by the simple two-position recline mechanism and the no-rethread safety harness, which is designed to adapt to the changing needs of your baby. It's also lighter than other strollers for travel, making it the perfect choice for families that are frequent traveller.

Other great features on this compact travel stroller include a spring-loaded back-of-the-underseat basket that's big enough for a backpack, diaper bag, or purse, and a flat, open sun canopy that offers some coverage and blockage (though it's not as large as the ones on some of our other top picks). It's also among our lightest strollers. However, keep in mind that most airlines allow you to gate-check a full-sized pushchair pram but may require you to take the stroller folded out of the cabin and through security. If that's the case, consider buying a protective travel bag to protect against accidental damage by baggage handlers.

Easy to Store

A compact travel stroller is ideal for frequent travelers as it doesn't require a large stroller trunk or take up a lot of space in your hotel room or car. Some models fold down so small that you can fit them in an airplane's overhead bin and some are so lightweight that they don't add any weight to your carry-on luggage. They are also easy to maneuver in crowded airports or on crowded city sidewalks.

If you frequently travel it's worth investing in the top travel stroller that we have test-driven. The Silver Cross Jet 4 is a comfortable, well-constructed option with plenty of features like an enormous under-seat basket as well as a padded handlebar and wrist strap that's comfortable on long trips. The reclining mechanism is simple and the stroller is able to fit into the overhead bin of an airline (though you'll need to gate check it). This model is compatible with Nuna pipa infant car seats and comes with a bag that shields your stroller from harm when traveling.

The Babyzen YoYo2 stroller is also a super-lightweight model, perfect for short getaways. It's a breeze to maneuver in airplane aisles and it stays upright when folded, which is great when you're trying to manage it with your other luggage. The YoYo2 isn't as big as a larger stroller when it's folded, but it still has plenty of features, including a large under-seat basket and a reclining mechanism that's easy to operate using just one hand.

For many parents who have children, a stroller is essential for getting around with kids. A compact stroller of good quality will give you peace-of-mind while traveling, and enable you to navigate the busy public transport and city sidewalks with ease.
