Best Lightweight Single Stroller It is the lightest and most compact stroller that you can buy. Its sleek design allows it to fold into a stylish rectangle shape, and the wheels are a lot easier to turn than other styles. The stroller also has a large storage area under the seat, as well as a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry around when you're not pushing it. But the canopy adjuster can make a lot of noise, which can wake a sleepy toddler. 1. Contours Itsy The Contours Itsy is a compact stroller that has a variety of features for its size. The basket in the back of the seat is equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism, allowing you to move the basket to place bags for diapers or backpacks and then it will pop up to secure the contents. It also has a child's accessory holder and an adjustable reclining seat pad. This is more than you would find on a typical lightweight stroller. It also comes with a canopy that you can open and shut to ensure that you get the sun protection level you desire. The handlebars are adjustable in height to allow for a comfortable fit four different positions. However, we weren't thrilled with the quality of its ride on rough terrain. We were of the opinion that the suspension and wheels did not do a good job of absorbing bumps and shocks. It's a perfect stroller for traveling since it arrives in the box fully assembled, and requires only a few steps to get it in use. The seat can be pushed forward and backwards to adjust the recline, which is pretty much flat. Two buttons on the frame make it easy to fold and unfold. It also fits in an easy-to-carry bag when it's not in use. It's actually one of the smallest strollers we've tested, and it easily meets most airlines' requirements for gate-checking and cabin storage on airplanes. Contact your airline to see whether there are any restrictions before you fly.

Kolcraft Cloud Plus This stroller is an excellent choice for those who need a stroller that is lightweight for travel. It comes with all the features parents look for in a stroller. It comes with all-terrain tires and front suspension to ensure an easy ride. It's also very light, weighing less than 12 pounds. It folds with one hand and stands up on its own. It has two cups holders on each tray for the child and parent. The quality, however it is a bit at the lower end and it didn't fare well in our maneuverability tests. It also has a swivel frame that makes pushing it across rough surfaces seem like lifting a huge weight. It is possible that you only use the stroller on sidewalks that are paved. But for most people it is not comfortable. Cloud Plus Cloud Plus has a three-tier extended canopy and a peek-aboo window to provide additional sun protection. The seat is multi-position and can hold children up 50 pounds and features a five-point safety restraint. This is an excellent feature for older toddlers who have outgrown their infant car seats. It features a one-step, compact folding mechanism and can be collapsed with practically just a touch of the button. It also features an easy, foot-activated break that's easy to install and release. However, the handle is lower than other strollers we looked at and some parents might be uncomfortable for long durations. It does come with the ability to lock the handle to keep it in place while open, though. This is a good feature to have if will be using the stroller over uneven or gravelly terrain. 3. Munchkin Sparrow The Munchkin Sparrow stroller is the perfect travel stroller for parents who are always moving. This ultra-compact stroller is easy to fold down and up, and fits easily in overhead compartments on planes as well as in trunks at the amusement park (no more worrying about parking fees). It comes with a carry bag that zips up for easy storage. It can be used with the infant car adapter right from birth and provides good sun protection thanks to its canopy. The only drawback for some parents is that they consider the design uninspiring and utilitarian. The BabyZen Yoyo+ is a little more expensive than other lightweight single stroller s however it was made specifically for luxe urban and travel. It is one of the easiest strollers to fold, and comes with a convenient carry case. It is packed with storage space as well as a cupholder. The seat reclines to almost flat for both the child and adult. This is the only stroller in our list with a car seat adapter to allow it to be used with a newborn. The handlebar isn't adjustable and could be an issue for some parents who are small. The UPPAbaby Minu V2 isn't the lightest stroller on our list, but it offers a ton of great features that make traveling with kids easier. The large seat reclines to a flat position, and it comes with additional padding to make those plane napping sessions more comfortable. The canopy extends to provide adequate sun protection, and the parent tray has plenty of storage. It also comes with an adjustable handle that doubles as the footrest when folded. This footrest, however, is prone to damage by baggage handlers. 4. Uppababy Mini V2 Uppababy's Minu V2 is a premium stroller that doesn't compromise on quality or design. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver narrow streets and tight spaces, but its robust construction means it can take on rough terrain without compromising your child's safety. Front and rear spring-action suspensions provide a more comfortable ride for both of you, while its durable materials mean that it will hold up to the wear and tear of everyday life without losing its shape. Plus, it can be expanded to accommodate additional items such as a bassinet or infant car seat. In our testing, the Minu was a breeze to maneuver and fold even with a child in the hand. Its squat, almost square fold, which folds in thirds, is among the most straightforward in our tests and allows it to be tucked away in overhead compartments of planes and public transport. It also features a color-coded single-action brake that is easy to use. The seat features a multi-position recline and one-handed adjustable leg rest, so it's easy to find the right position for your child. The UPF 50+ hood went down quite a bit, which was great to shield Cora's eyes from the sun (though not quite as low as other strollers). There is also a medium-sized mesh peek-a-boo window that closes magnetically and sticks to the canopy instead of using noisy Velcro. At less than 15 pounds at just under 15 pounds, the Minu is light enough to carry with a built-in carry handle and a shoulder strap. It can also be stowed in the trunk of your vehicle. It comes with a storage bag and access to the Uppababy TravelSafe program which gives two years to the manufacturer's warranty. It also covers repairs for items damaged during air travel. 5. Joovy Aire Joovy is an established stroller brand that makes several models. This stroller is light and ideal for parents looking for a sturdy stroller to take their children. It is simple to move, has plenty of storage, and is not difficult to fold. This model isn't suited for those looking for a double stroller or a car seat compatible model. It doesn't accept infant car seats. Your babies must be able to sit up on their backs before they can use it. This stroller comes with a number of solid features and an impressive price tag. It scored higher on our maneuverability test than other models with similar specifications. It's an excellent choice for smooth paved surfaces. It also comes with a great canopy and plenty of storage, including a large parent tray. The front wheel suspension is a bit stiff and the handlebar is a bit smaller than the norm, but it provides a comfortable ride for adults. If you have twins or two children of different ages, you may discover that a stroller with a side-byside feature is the best option to move them around. Our top pick is the Joovy Twin Groove, which has a variety of features, and has a slim footprint that can be used into places that other side-byside alternatives can't. It has a huge canopy, with a peek-aboo window, and tons of storage. It's heavier than other side-bysides but it has a decent capacity for weight and can be used by children up to 50 pounds. You can even add a bassinet to front of the stroller to accommodate infants. The Caboose RS Sit and Stand Stroller provides an elegant version of the stroller. It comes with the same great features and can be outfitted with a bassinet so that you can take your baby home with style from the hospital.
