A Compact Travel Stroller Should Be Easy to Carry You will require a compact stroller that folds into a compact size. It should be lightweight, feature an automobile seat-compatible design, and fit in overhead bins for airlines. This compact stroller from UPPAbaby meets the criteria. It folds easily and has a padded strap to carry. It also fits easily in the overhead compartments of planes. It also comes with an easy, flat recline and smooth movement. Easy to Assemble Traveling can be stressful enough without having to worry how to take everything. We believe that a good travel pram should be simple to fold, assemble and carry. This lightweight Kolcraft stroller is exactly that. This compact, lightweight stroller is easy to open and close by pressing two buttons on the handle- all while still standing straight (no need to lean back to do it). It can also be inserted into the overhead bins of most planes, and comes with a convenient carry bag that's ideal for slinging the stroller over your shoulder while you're on the move. In our tests, this light stroller rolled easily over all kinds of terrain and maneuvered well and was a great choice for traveling. It features a large sun canopy with mesh that can be shut and opened to provide your child with plenty of visibility and coverage. It also includes the leg rest, which can be easily adjusted and has padded shoulder straps. It's also a perfect fit for most Nuna PIPA series car seats (just click and you're done) and includes a large storage basket that can hold a lot of your on-the-go essentials. The 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 simple to open by pressing two buttons on the handle. It also folds back up in the same way and can be put into the bag that comes with it. It might be too big for some airline overhead bins. Some parents also complained about the handles being fragile. But, it's an excellent option for those who want an ultra-light, compact stroller to travel with. We wish it had a parent pocket to hold things like dollar bills to buy ice cream! Easy to Fold Travel strollers are small as the name implies. They are smaller and lighter than standard strollers, and come with less features, such as cup holders and storage baskets. However, they should still perform well enough for daily use, and are easy to carry around or put away. Consider a travel stroller that is suitable for your needs if you plan to travel often with your child. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe For instance, it is easy to fold and can fit in overhead bins. It is also easy to move and roll, even on rough terrain. The UPPAbaby is equipped with a variety of nice features, including a deep recliner as well as a sun canopy to give your child ample coverage. The only issue is that the folding mechanism isn't the most reliable and you may need to carefully time your hands to get it just right. The Babyzen YOYO2 is a different option. It can be folded down to a very small size and opens with just one hand. It might not have as much storage space as other strollers for travel, but it has some nice features. They include an ergonomic strap for carrying as well as a spacious basket beneath the carriage, and a broad-extending umbrella. It's our most expensive travel stroller, however, it's also the most luxurious. The Cybex Libelle 2 is another travel stroller with an ultra-small fold that's easy to unfold. It's heavier than most strollers but is still lightweight and compact enough to make a great option for city living and luxury travel. It also comes with a number of great features, including a cup holder that fits the standard size cup, a convenient carry handle, and an expandable canopy that's big enough to protect your child from sun. The Mini UPPAbaby is an excellent choice for those who already own the Vista or Cruz strollers from this brand but want an easier version. It's lighter than the original Minu but it's still a bit heavy for a travel stroller. It's a good thing that it comes with a lot of other cool features, such as a spacious storage basket with a deep recline, as well as an extended sun canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection. Carry it easily The ease at folding your travel stroller will make huge difference in how it is possible to navigate an airport that is crowded or squeeze onto a crowded bus. A good travel stroller should be able to fit in your trunk or an overhead bin using a few simple controlled movements, and remain standing up on its own when folded. You should be able to lift it up by the handle, attach a carry strap or slip it into the storage bag included for easy transport. If you're looking to use your stroller on planes, look for one that's airline-approved or promises to fit inside overhead bins. The International Air Transport Association recommends that carry-on luggage not be more than 22 x 18 x 10 inches, so the majority of our top picks — including the super lightweight, $100-plus Nuna TRVL—will fit (though some of them will require you to gate check the strollers). The TRVL is light enough to lug around as a purse due to its strap for the shoulder that is padded and a bumper bar that can double as a handle for carrying. The TRVL is a fantastic choice for parents who are on the move It's also compatible with all Nuna Pipa infant car seats without the need for adapters. Our experts are awestruck by its simple two-position recline system and no-rethread harness that is designed to grow with your child. It's also lighter than other strollers which makes it a great option for families that frequently travel. 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 one of our lightest strollers. However, keep in mind that most airlines allow gate-checking the size of a large pushchair, but it could require you to take the stroller that's folded out of the cabin and through security. If this is the case, you might think about purchasing a protective travel bag to shield it from damage by baggage handlers. Easy to store A compact travel stroller is great for frequent travelers because it doesn't need a large stroller trunk or take up a lot of space in your hotel room or car. Some models are so compact that they can be easily stored in the overhead bin of an airplane or in a hotel room, while others are so light that they don't weigh much on carry-on luggage. They're also easy to maneuver around busy airports and on city sidewalks. If you frequently travel it's worth investing in the top travel stroller we have tried. The Silver Cross Jet 4 is an extremely comfortable, well-made model with a variety of features, including a large under-seat basket and an adjustable handlebar that is padded with a wrist strap that's comfortable for long journeys. The stroller's reclining mechanism is easy to use, and it fits in an airline's overhead compartment (though you will need to gate-check it). This model is compatible with Nuna pipa infant car seats and comes with a carry bag that shields your stroller from harm while traveling. The Babyzen YoYo2 stroller is also extremely light, making it ideal for travel, or for quick vacations. It's easy to maneuver in airplane aisles and it's upright when folded, which is great in case you're trying to carry it with other luggage. The YoYo2 isn't as large as a standard stroller when it's folded, but it still offers plenty of features, for instance, a spacious under-seat basket, as well as a reclining mechanism that can be operated using just one hand. A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for many parents who travel with their children. A compact stroller of high quality will give you peace of mind while traveling, and allow you to navigate busy city sidewalks and public transport effortlessly.

The Good Housekeeping Institute has been testing products for more than 100 years and this guide is based on their expert research. Contributing writers and editors, who are parents with children aged 6 and under, independently reviewed the guide. They inspected the strollers in an in-house lab along with their families as well as on road excursions. They also consulted with consumer testers to get additional feedback.
