Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate

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

The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the baby stroller of many parents who are who are on the move thanks to its light design that is gate-check-friendly and its compact folding. It has a very wide turning radius, and a flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

With a reputation for innovatively designed products that are elegant and feature-packed, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a great option for parents who want to travel. The stroller is extremely lightweight and folds down to smaller dimensions to make it easy to carry. It also has a convenient front wheel lock that ensures the stroller is stable when it is in use and a fixed canopy that gives ample shade from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has an excellent storage basket that holds plenty of gear.

In contrast to the more expensive models within the UPPAbaby family, the G-Luxe is surprisingly affordable and comes with a range of extras, such as an adult cup holder and rain cover. It also comes with a handy brake system that is one step with tall handlebars, making it easier to push parents of any height and a hand-level folding mechanism that makes it easy to store.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has an updated robust frame design that is reminiscent of the VISTA and CRUZ strollers, and cheap pushchairs a brand new front-end single-wheeled design that improves maneuverability and a larger canopy that is more spacious with an open SPF 50+ sunshade. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and a simple-to-access back-of-seat storage pocket.

The G-Luxe was the top performer in our noise tests, but it wasn't the most durable in its class when it came to performance and durability. It also had the lowest number of reclined positions compared to the other test models and its rear-facing seat is not recommended for children under two years old.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close rival, but did not win the award for the most beautiful umbrella stroller. It does have many of the features that make the top contenders so popular with families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a small footprint when folded however it isn't as compact as the other models we tried. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 lbs lighter than the G-Luxe and folds down to a slightly smaller size which makes it a great option for those looking for an ultra-light stroller that is easy to move.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is a pram and car seat that does what it promises on the Tin. It is easy to use, light and elegant. It's designed to blend into the city, but it is also suitable for travel. It's more expensive than some of the other options on this list but it's among the few that comes with an umbrella for rain.

Five Frenchmen formed BabyZen in order to create a lightweight stroller that is ideal for urban environments. The YOYO2 version is their latest. The YOYO2 is an original folding and unfolding device that can be done with just one hand. It is also very light and compact and can be carried on your shoulder. It's a great choice for babies and includes an infant bassinet. It's then able to convert into a seat once your baby is ready for that stage. You can also add a car-seat to make it an entire travel system.

In terms of features In terms of features, the YOYO2 is a fantastic suspension that can take on tough terrain well and it's extremely easy to push around. It comes with a huge storage basket and a good-sized zip pocket behind the seat that is convenient for your wallet, phone or snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs for bigger families and it's compatible with all Babyzen accessories like a footmuff and a large shopping bag.

The only downside of the YOYO2 would be that it is not suitable for long walks on cobblestones or in parks. It's a very smooth ride, but it might not be as robust as a model designed with more tough terrain in mind. If you intend to use it just for short city walks or for running some errands, it will perform the task well. The YOYO2 is simple to get in and out of the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit in the footwell as well. It's also smaller than the majority of people's hand luggage so it's ideal for flying with a child.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is a light, feature-rich and compact stroller that folds up into compact size for easy transport and storage. It is the lightest stroller we have tested and is among the top budget alternatives available. It is not a good option for a stroller that you can use everyday since it doesn't have a bassinet or car seat adapter, however it is ideal for travel.

It can be used to hold toddlers easily. The large seat can be laid flat for napping or changing diapers and the 5-point harness can be adjusted to three height positions as your child grows. There is a huge storage basket as well as a cup holder for parents. There is a peekaboo window on the canopy which is covered with a fabric flap and an extra zippered pocket for smaller items.

The stroller, similar to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is able to steer well on smooth surfaces, but it gets stuck in cracks when we test it on rough terrain. Its wheels are made from plastic and they bounce more than the average of our test group. It also has a longer carry strap than most of our strollers, so it's more difficult to carry in the event of carrying a heavy bag or a sleeping baby.

The 3Dlite folds in four seconds and is then folded in six. The process is a few steps that include raising the lever in the back of the stroller, release the latch, then push down the latch on the right side and then push the handles down. Although these aren't the fastest or slowest fold and unfold times of any cheap stroller, they are nevertheless pretty quick. It has relatively taller handles which could be an issue for shorter people.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has one major disadvantage: it doesn't have a sunshade. It has a huge canopy however it doesn't provide much protection for your child when you walk with them facing the sunlight. It is a retractable visor that offers some protection when fully opened however it doesn't cover the baby's head.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those looking for an easy-to-use, compact stroller. This little stroller is not only lightweight, but it can also fold down to the size of a carry-on suitcase! This is a major plus in our book. It also comes with an umbrella for the sun and a parent facing pram console, as well as various other accessories like an oversized backpack for storage or travel with a single or cross-body straps, a kid's snack tray and a weather cover.

Zoe was created by a family and is committed to making products for parents that are as valuable as possible as their children grow. This is evident in their stroller collection which includes everything from an umbrella that is basic to an expanding double that has reclining chairs. Their travel strollers (read review) are also some of the best models available, and give the most value for your buck.

We tested the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it to other models on the basis of functionality and user-friendliness. We looked at a variety of factors, including the fold and unfold feature, storage, maneuverability and safety. We found this stroller to be easy to fold and unfold, though it does take a bit of effort with one hand. It's not as smooth as some of its rivals. It's not a good option for parents with taller heights as the handlebars only reach around 40 inches, which could be uncomfortable for long rides.

Storage is important in a stroller, particularly when you're traveling. This is the reason for 25 percent of the overall 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 the diaper bag or a jacket or coat. It's not likely to hold an entire day's worth of items.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the largest in our test group. They have average padding and two settings for reclining. The recline adjusts easily with just one hand, but it takes two to raise it back up.
