Best Travel prams for newborns - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate

The lightweight strollers are designed to be easy to fold and operate. The best travel strollers come with a compact fold that easily fits in overhead bins or smaller car boots and can even accommodate the infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram of choice for parents on the go thanks to its ultra-lightweight design that is gate-check-friendly and its compact fold. It also has a great turn radius and a near-flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

With a track record of innovatively designed products that are both stylish and feature-packed, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is an excellent choice for parents who wish to travel. The stroller is extremely light and folds into a compact size to make it easy to transport. The stroller also features an front wheel lock to keep it stable while in use, and a fixed canopy to offer adequate protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and comes with an excellent storage basket that holds a fair amount of gear.

The G-Luxe, unlike the more expensive models in the UPPAbaby line, is actually affordable. It also comes with a few additional features like a cup for the parent for storage, and raincover. It also comes with a convenient brake system with one step, tall handles that make it easier for parents of all sizes to push, and a simple hand-level folding mechanism which makes it easy to stow the stroller.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe comes with a modern, sturdy frame that mimics the VISTA & CRUZ strollers. It also features a new, single-wheeled front-end design that improves maneuverability, and a larger canopy with a pop-out sunshade that offers SPF 50+ protection. It also has a convenient storage basket, and an easy-to-access back-of-seat storage compartment.

While the G-Luxe scored high in our noise tests however, it wasn't at the top of the line in terms of performance or durability. It also had the smallest recline positions among our test models and its rear-facing seats aren't suitable for children under two years old.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close competitor however, it did not take home the prize for the Best Travel Stroller umbrella stroller. It still offers many of those features that make the winners so popular with families. It weighs 16 lbs and has a tiny footprint when folded, but is not as compact as the G-Luxe. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 lbs lighter than the G-Luxe, and folds to a slightly smaller size which makes it a great option for those looking for a lightweight travel pushchair stroller that is easy to maneuver.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram delivers on its promises. It is simple to use, light and elegant. It's designed to fit into city life and if you want to travel with it, it will work well for that as well. It's more expensive than some of the other options on this list but it's among the few that come with an umbrella for rain.

Five Frenchmen founded BabyZen with the aim of developing a stroller that was light that could be used in urban areas. The YOYO2 is their latest model. The YOYO2 has a very unique folding and unfolding system that can be done by hand. It's also super light and compact, and it can even be carried on the shoulder. It's an excellent choice for infants and comes with a bassinet. It can then be converted into a seat when your baby is ready for this stage. You can also add a car-seat to create a complete travel system.

The YOYO2 is a great bicycle with suspension that can take on rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a large storage basket as well as a large zip pocket behind the seat that's handy for your phone, wallet or snacks. It can be connected to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families. It is compatible with all Babyzen products including a footmuff and an enormous shopping basket.

The only downside of the YOYO2 would be that it's not suitable for long walks on cobblestones, or in parks. It's a smooth and easy ride, but might not be as durable as a product made for more rugged terrain. However, if you plan on using it for short city walks and to do errands, it should do the job perfectly well. The YOYO2 fits easily in and out of the boot of my Honda Civic and will also fit in the footwell. It is also smaller than many people's hand luggage, meaning it is ideal for flying with children.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is a lightweight, feature-rich convenience stroller compact that folds up into compact size for easy transport and storage. It is the lightest stroller we have tested and one of the best budget options available. It is not suitable for everyday use as it doesn't have an infant bassinet or car seat however it is perfect for travel.

It can be used to hold toddlers easily. The large seat can be placed flat to facilitate diaper changes or naps. The 5-point harness can be adjusted into three different height positions. There is a huge storage basket and a cup holder for parents. The canopy features a peekaboo fabric-covered window and a separate pocket that is zippered to store smaller items.

Similar to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe, this stroller steers very well on smooth surfaces, but it got stuck in cracks during our testing of rough terrain. Its wheels are made from plastic and they bounce more than the average of our test group. It has a shorter strap for carrying than the majority of the strollers we tested, which makes it difficult to carry if you're carrying a heavy bag.

The 3Dlite folds in four seconds and then unfolds in six. The process involves just a few steps: raise the lever at the back center of the stroller, release the latch, pull down the latch on the right side, and then push the handles down. While these are not the fastest or most slow fold and unfold times of any stroller, they are nevertheless pretty quick. It also has relatively higher-end handle bars, which could be a problem for smaller people.

The biggest disadvantage of the Summer Infant 3D Lite is that it doesn't have a complete sunshade. It comes with a large canopy, but it does not provide much protection to your child when walking with them in the sun. It comes with a retractable visor that offers some protection when fully open but doesn't completely cover the baby's head.

Zoe Traveler

If you're looking for a lightweight and super compact stroller, take a look at the Zoe Traveler. This stroller is not just light, but it can fold down to the size and shape of a carry on suitcase! This is an important feature in our book. It also has an awesome sun canopy and comes loaded with extras such as a parent console, travel backpack/storage bag, a single or double shoulder or cross-body carry straps, a kids' snack tray and a weather cover!

Zoe was founded as a family-owned business and they are committed to creating products that offer parents with the best value as their children develop. This philosophy is evident in their range of strollers, which includes a range of umbrellas ranging from a basic model to an expandable twin double pram pushchair with reclining seats. The strollers offered by this company are among the top available and offer the most value for the money.

We tried the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it to other models on the basis of its functionality and ease of use. We considered several factors, including fold and unfold as well as storage and maneuverability and double Pram and pushchair safety. We discovered that this stroller is easy to fold and unfold, although it does take some effort using one hand. It's also not as smooth as some of its rivals. It's not a good choice for taller parents since the handlebars are only 40 inches high. This could make it uncomfortable on long rides.

Storage is essential in a stroller, especially when you're on the move. It's a significant portion of our overall ease of use score. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7/10 in this category. A small bin is situated in the back of the vehicle. It could fit a diaper bag and maybe a jacket or coat. However, it's unlikely to hold a whole day's worth.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the largest in our test group. They have average padding and two recline settings. The recline can be adjusted easily with one hand, but it takes two hands to get it back to a straight position.
