Pick the best stroller for your trip, whether you're to a vacation destination or traveling for business. Be aware of the weight and age of your child, as well features such as a deep recline, ample storage space, and weather protection. You'll also want to choose one that is easy to fold and unfold using one hand, particularly when you're holding your child.

The egg2 was a great choice for us due to its compact fold with a light weight and strong feel. It also features a fantastic ergonomic handlebar with a comfortable cushion, an adjustable recline mechanism, and a large underseat basket. The only drawbacks are the stiff leg rest and a limited amount of storage space. The basket and leg rest can be used to carry a small bag however you'll need to remove the seat cushion to do so. The seat doesn't have a large-size pocket, which can be frustrating if you're juggling multiple bags and a screaming toddler.

If you are looking for a single-handle model that is less expensive, then you should look into the GBQbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. However, it doesn't have as much storage under the carriage and its canopy is smaller than other models we've tried.

In our tests the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth and easy ride over most surfaces. It was able to roll smoothly over shag carpet, paved sidewalks and gravel and held up well during our tests of durability. It also comes with a range of options for customization, including a bassinet for newborns as well as a rider board.

A good option for parents who frequently travel, this Red Kite Koko Amber Lightweight Stroller 7.9kg stroller folds in half to fit into an overhead bin on the train or plane. Its design is sleek and small pockets on the front for a cell phone of the parent and a large back pocket to fit larger tote or weekender bags. The padded seat has a nice shape, and the buckle system is simple to use, even when a toddler is in tow. It's also among the few models we have tested with a foot brake, which allows you to stop it when necessary.

Design

If you're planning to take a stroller with you on the go, you should look for one that is able to be folded, carried and transported with other bags. Some of these strollers include straps or carrying cases that lets you carry them over your shoulders. These strollers are ideal for long days of exploring on vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transport.

Consider features such as the size of the basket and the canopy when you choose a single-hand stroller that folds. Consider whether you'd like a tray for the parents or an adjustable legrest and the amount of weight your stroller can handle.

The top choice of GH's for a one-handed stroller is the Nuna Trvl. It is a lightweight travel jogger that's easy-to-handle, has an extremely comfortable reclining seat as well as an ample storage bag. It looks fantastic, is easy to maneuver and makes sharp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another excellent option for a light and compact stroller. It's also simple to carry. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl, however it's slightly less expensive and comes with additional convenience features. It has an adjustable legrest and a simpler recline system that is almost all the way back.

Other lightweight strollers worth mentioning are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo has a self-standing, one-handed fold and is compatible with six car seat brands. It's a bit heavier than the other top models in this category, however, and its front wheel may be better at absorption of bumps.

The UPPAbaby Minu offers a lot of the same features as the larger prams of the brand, but it folds more compactly and can fit in the majority of overhead bins for airplanes. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is easy to use. It also comes with a great unstructured rear storage bag and a lock clasp that allows the stroller to fold while in transit.

Weight

This nimble stroller folds down into a compact, lightweight package and can fit in overhead bins for airlines, making it perfect for travel. It also comes with a large storage basket and tray for children. There are some downsides, like the limited recline (it can only be lowered down to a slightly inclined angle) and instructions that are in pictures instead of words. However it is an excellent option for families who want an easy, lightweight stroller.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is particularly suitable for families traveling. It's light (13.7 pounds) and features a tiny folded design that allows it to easily fit into the aisles of airplanes and overhead bins, and comes with decent features for its price. It's compatible with a variety of car seat brands and is one of the lightest travel strollers on the market.

It's not easy to maneuver. Its narrow base and the limited storage under the car could make it less suitable for long trips or errands. It's not the most smooth on most terrains and is prone to sway on bumps. The newer version has a more comfortable and cushioned seats, but it's still not as luxurious.

We prefer single-handed strollers with brakes that lock easily and an undercarriage that is large enough to store things in. We also recommend a cushioned seat and harness for comfort as well as a cup holder that is convenient for parents, and a footbrake that is simple to use.

Our top picks are based on extensive testing conducted by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test the strollers in our New York City lab and on city streets. We also donate eight strollers that we test to local families in need.

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the top single-hand folding strollers available on the market. It folds up in just four seconds using one hand. However, it takes a few seconds to click the stroller into place. Its small frame allows it to be tucked away in overhead bins, and it can be carried down 19-inch aisles as luggage. The canopy provides plenty of protection from the sun, and the fabric is strong. There are two cup holders, and an extra tray for the parent.

Another excellent single-hand fold stroller is the Uppababy Cruz. The stroller features a large seat that has a deep recline and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver, even on rough terrain. The front wheels were specifically designed for India's bumpy roads and also have an adjustable brake with padding attached to it. The only drawback is that the Cruz isn't equipped with a carrying strap, so it's not ideal for long walks.

It is able to fit in the overhead compartments of most planes. The storage basket is large enough to hold a diaper bag, and the seat has two recline positions.
