A stroller should be easy to use and fit into tight spaces. This model folds with one hand and is ideal for traveling.

Features

When you travel to work or for vacation, choosing the right stroller for your needs will determine the success or failure of your trip. Take into consideration your child's weight and age as well as features like a deep recline, ample storage and weather protection. You should also choose a model that's easy to fold and unfold using one hand, particularly when you're holding the child.

The egg2 was a great choice for us due to its compact fold with a light weight and strong feel. It also has a great ergonomic handlebar with a comfortable cushion, an adjustable recline mechanism, and an ample underseat basket. The only downsides are the stiff leg rest and limited storage space. The leg rest basket and leg rests can both fit in inside a compact bag, but to do so you'll need to remove the cushion from the seat. The seat doesn't have an ample pocket. This can be a hassle when you're trying to balance multiple bags and a screaming child.

If you are looking for a single lightweight stroller-handle model that is more affordable then check out the GBQbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in many ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. However it doesn't have as much undercarriage storage and its canopy is smaller than other models we've tested.

During testing, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth and easy ride across all surfaces. It easily glided over paved sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel, and performed well in our durability tests. Additionally, it provides many options for customization such as a bassinet for a baby attachment and a riderboard for siblings.

This lightweight stroller can be folded in half to fit inside the overhead bin of a train or plane. Its design is sleek, with an open front pocket that can be used for a cell phone of the parent and a large back pocket to fit larger bags, such as weekender bags or a tote. The cushioned seat has a pleasing shape, and the buckle system is simple to use, even with a toddler is in tow. It's also one of only a few models that we tested with brake feet, making it easier to stop if needed.

Design

If you're planning to use a stroller on the go, choose one that can be easily folded and carried along with other bags.

Take into consideration features like the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when choosing a single buggy for sale-hand stroller that folds. Also think about whether you require a tray for your child, an adjustable leg rest and the weight that the stroller is able to hold.

The top choice of GH's for a stroller with one hand is the Nuna Trvl. It's a light stroller that's easy to use, has an extended recline as well as a large storage basket. It looks great and is simple to maneuver and takes 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 Nuna Trvl but is a bit less expensive and comes with additional convenience features. It has an adjustable legrest and an easier recline system that extends almost all the way back.

Other strollers that are lightweight and worth to mention are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and has a one-handed, self-standing fold. It's heavier than other top models in this class, however, and its front wheel could be better in taking on bumps.

The UPPAbaby Minu has many of the same functionality as the larger prams from the brand but it folds up more compactly and can fit in most airplane overhead bins. The seat cushion is padded and the recline mechanism is simple to use. It also has a nice unstructured rear storage compartment and a locking clasp that keeps the stroller folded when in transit.

Weight

This stroller is able to be folded into a lightweight, compact bag that easily fits in the overhead bins of airlines, making it a great choice for air travel. It also has a large storage bag as well as a tray for children. Although it has some disadvantages that aren't as obvious, like its restricted recline (it can only be repositioned to a slight recline position) and directions that rely on images instead of words, it's a good option for families who require an easy stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry on short excursions.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is particularly suitable for those who travel. It's super-light (13.7 pounds) and features a tiny and compact fold that makes it easy to squeeze into the aisles of airplanes and overhead bins, and offers decent features for its price. It is compatible with many car seat brands, and it's one of the lightest strollers available.

However, it is not the most user-friendly. It has a small base and limited undercarriage storage capacity, which can hinder its use for longer trips or errands. It's not the most smooth rider on all terrains and is prone to sway on bumps. The newer version has a more comfortable and better padded seat, but is not as expensive.

We recommend strollers that are single-handed with brakes that can be locked easily and an undercarriage that is big enough for storage. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for greater comfort, a convenient cup holder for parents and a foot brake that is simple to use.
