Best Travel Prams - 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 fold compactly to fit into overhead bins and smaller car boot spaces, and can accommodate a car seat for an infant.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the baby stroller of many parents who are traveling thanks to its light design that is gate-check friendly and its compact folding. It also has a fantastic turn radius and a near-flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

With a reputation for innovatively designed products that are both stylish and feature-packed, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is an excellent choice for parents who want to travel. It is extremely light and folds into an extremely compact size for transport. It also has a convenient front wheel lock that helps keep the stroller in place when in use and an adjustable canopy that offers plenty of protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and comes with an ideal storage basket that can hold a fair amount of equipment.

In contrast to the more expensive models in the UPPAbaby family the G-Luxe is quite affordable and comes with a number of additional features, including a parent cup holder and a rain cover. It also comes with a convenient brake system that is one step and handles that are tall, making it easier for parents of all heights to push, and a user-friendly hand-level folding process that makes it easy to store the stroller.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe comes with a modern, sturdy frame design that emulates the VISTA and CRUZ strollers, as well as a fresh front-end single-wheeled design that improves maneuverability, and a bigger canopy that is more spacious with a pop-out SPF 50+ sunshade. It also comes with a huge storage basket and a back pocket that is easy to access.

While the G-Luxe scored well in our noise tests however, it wasn't at the top of the line in terms of performance and durability. It also had the least number of recline positions when compared to all of our test models and its rear-facing seat is not recommended for children under two years of age.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close competitor however, it did not take home the prize for the best umbrella stroller. It still offers many of those features that make the winners so popular with families. It weighs 16 lbs and has a compact footprint when folded, but it is not as compact as the G-Luxe. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 pounds lighter than the G-Luxe and folds down to a slightly smaller size, making it an excellent option for those looking for a stroller that is light and is easy to move.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 running pram delivers on its promises. It's easy to use and light weight, and looks elegant. It's designed to be a part of city life and if you are planning to travel with it, it's perfect for that as well. It's more expensive than some of the other options on this list but it's one of the few that have an umbrella for rain.

Five Frenchmen formed BabyZen with the intention of creating a lightweight stroller designed for urban use. The YOYO2 version is their latest. The YOYO2 has a very unique folding and unfolding mechanism that is easy to do using just one hand. It is also very lightweight and compact and can be carried on your shoulders. It is able to be used from birth and it has a bassinet that can be used for newborns. Once your baby is old enough, it can be converted into an infant seat. You can also add a car seat to make it an entire travel system.

The YOYO2 is a fantastic bike with suspension that can handle rough terrain and is easy to push. It has a large storage basket, as well as an internal zip pocket that is large enough to fit your phone, wallet or pram With Car seat snacks. It can be connected to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families. It's compatible with all Babyzen products, including a footmuff or a large shopping basket.

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

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is a lightweight, feature-rich convenience stroller that folds up into a small package for easy transport and storage. It is the lightest stroller we have tested and one of the best budget options available. It's not ideal 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 seat is flat for napping or diaper changes and the 5-point harness can be adjusted to three height positions as your child grows. There is a large storage basket and cup holder for parents. There is a peekaboo window on the canopy, which is covered with a fabric flap and a pocket with a zipper for smaller items.

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

The 3Dlite unfolds and folds down 3 in 1 pram only six seconds. The process involves a few steps that include raising the lever in the back center of the stroller to release the latch, push down the latch on the right side, and then push the handles down. While these aren't necessarily the fastest or slowest time for folding and unfolding a stroller, they are still quite quick. It also has a lot taller handle bars which could be a problem for shorter people.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has one major disadvantage It doesn't have a sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy, but it doesn't offer much protection for your child when you are walking with them facing the sun. It comes with a retractable visor that offers some protection when fully open, but does not cover the head of the child.

Zoe Traveler

If you're looking for a lightweight and super compact stroller, take a look at the Zoe Traveler. This stroller isn't just lightweight, but also can fold down to the size and shape of a carry-on suitcase! This is a major plus in our book. It also includes a sun canopy, a parent console and a variety of extras including the ability to carry a backpack for travel with a single or cross-body straps, a kid's snack tray and an umbrella for the weather.

Zoe was created by a family and prides itself on making products for parents that are as valuable as they can be as their children grow. This is evident in their stroller collection, which ranges from a basic umbrella to an expanding double pushchair that has reclining chairs. The strollers they offer for travel are among the top alternatives available, and they offer the most bang for your buck.

We tested the Zoe Traveler to see how it compares to the competitors in terms of user-friendliness and usability. We looked at a variety of factors such as folding and unfolding storage and maneuverability, and safety. We found that this stroller is easy to fold and unfold, but it requires a bit of effort with one hand. It's not the same smooth ride as some of the competition. It's not the best choice for taller parents since the handlebars are only about 40 inches, which may be uncomfortable during long trips.

It is important to have plenty of storage space in your stroller, especially when you travel. This is the reason for 25 percent of the overall score. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. There's a small container in the back of the seat that could hold a diaper bag and maybe a coat or jacket. It's not likely to hold all the supplies needed for a whole day.

The seats on the Zoe Traveler are comfortable, however, they're not the best spacious of our test group. They're averagely cushioned and have two settings for reclining. One hand is required to adjust the recline, but two hands are required to bring it back up straight.
