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

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

The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the pram of many parents who are on the move, thanks to its lightweight design that is gate-check-friendly as well as its compact folding. It has a great turning radius and a nearly flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

With a track record of intuitively designed products that are attractive and feature-packed, UPPAbaby G-Luxe is an excellent choice for parents who wish to travel. The stroller is lightweight and folds up into an extremely compact size, making it easy to transport. It also has an front wheel lock that keeps it stable while in use, and a fixed canopy to offer adequate protection from the sun. It is simple to move and has an excellent storage basket that holds a fair amount of equipment.

In contrast to the more expensive models in the UPPAbaby family The G-Luxe is affordable and comes with a number of additional features, including the parent cup holder as well as rain cover. It also comes with a handy brake system with one step with handles that are tall to make it easier for parents of all heights to push, and a simple hand-level folding system which 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 and a brand new front-end design that has a single-wheeled design that increases maneuverability, and a bigger canopy that is more spacious with an open sunshade with SPF 50+. It also has a large storage basket as well as a back pocket that is easy to access.

While the G-Luxe scored well in our noise testing but it was not at the top of the class in terms of performance or durability. It also had the fewest recline positions of our test models. Its rear-facing seats aren't recommended for children younger than two years old.

Although the UPPAbaby G-Luxe was not able to win our best umbrella stroller award, it was still a worthy contender and comes with many of the features that make our winners so loved by families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a small folded footprint however, it's not as compact as the other models we tested. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 lbs lighter than G-Luxe and folds to a slightly smaller size, making it an excellent option for those looking for a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to maneuver.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is a pushchair pram that does what it promises on the tin. It's simple to use, lightweight and looks elegant. It is designed to fit into the city, but it can also be used for travel. It's more expensive than the other options on this list but it's among the few that have an umbrella for rain.

Five Frenchmen formed BabyZen to develop a lightweight stroller that is suitable for urban use. The YOYO2 is their latest model. The YOYO2 features a unique folding and unfolding system that can be done using just one hand. It's also compact and light, and it can even be carried on the shoulder. It can be used right from birth and it has an infant bassinet that can be used for newborns. Once your baby is old enough to go, it can be transformed into an infant seat. You can also add a car seat to transform it into a travel system.

The YOYO2 is a fantastic bike with suspension that can handle rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a large storage basket and a good-sized zip pocket behind the seat that's handy for your phone, wallet or snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs for larger families and it's compatible with all Babyzen accessories, including an earplug and a big shopping bag.

The only drawback of the YOYO2 would be that it is not suitable for long walks on cobblestones or in parks. It's a smooth and easy ride, but it may not be as robust as a model designed with more tough terrain in mind. If you intend to use it only for short city walks or for running around, it'll do the job well. The YOYO2 can easily fit in and out of the boot of my Honda Civic and will also fit in the footwell. It is also smaller than many people's hand luggage, meaning it is ideal for flying with a child.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a lightweight, convenient stroller with many features. It can be folded into a small package making it easy to carry and store. It's one of the lightest strollers we test, and is one of the top budget options. It's not a great choice for an everyday stroller because it does not have a bassinet or car seat compatibility but it is ideal for travel.

It is able to support a weight capacity of 50 pounds and is able to accommodate a toddler. The large seat can be placed flat to allow for diaper changes and naps. The 5-point harness can be adjusted into three different height positions. The storage basket is big and there's an apron for a cup on the back for parents to use. There's a peekaboo window on the canopy that is covered with a flap of fabric and an additional pocket that is zippered for smaller items.

The stroller, similar to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe steers well on smooth surfaces, but gets stuck in cracks when we test it on rough terrain. The wheels are made of plastic and they vibrate more than the average of our test group. It has a smaller strap to carry than the majority of the strollers we tested, which makes it more difficult to carry when you are carrying a heavy bag.

The 3Dlite folds in four seconds and unfolds in just six. There are a few steps in the process: raising the lever in the center of the back to release the latch, pressing down the latch on the back right and then pushing the handles down. While these are not the fastest or slowest fold and unfold times of any stroller they are still pretty quick. It also has a lot higher handle bars, which can be a problem for smaller people.

The main drawback of the Summer Infant 3D Lite is that it doesn't have a complete sunshade. It has a huge canopy but it does not provide much protection to your child when you walk with them in the sun. It has a retractable visor which provides some protection when fully open however it doesn't cover the head of the child.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those who want a lightweight, compact foldable stroller. The stroller is not only lightweight, but also can fold down to the size and shape of a carry-on suitcase! This is an important feature in our book. It also has an amazing sun canopy and comes with extras such as an adult console, travel backpack/storage bag, a single or double shoulder or cross-body straps, a snack tray, weather cover and more!

Zoe started as a family-owned business and they pride themselves on making products that give parents with the most value as their children grow. This is evident in their stroller collection that includes everything from a basic umbrella to an expanded double with reclining seats. Their travel strollers are also one of the best options 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 examined a variety of criteria, including the fold and unfold feature, storage, maneuverability and safety. It is a breeze to fold and unfold. However, it requires some effort using just one hand. It's not as smooth a ride as some of the competition. It's not a good option for parents with taller heights, because the handlebars are just 40 inches tall. This could cause discomfort on long rides.

It is important to have sufficient storage space in your stroller, especially when you travel. It accounts for 25% of our overall score for ease of use. The Zoe Traveler scored 7 out of 10. A small bin is located in the back of the car. It can accommodate the diaper bag, and perhaps a jacket or coat. However, it's unlikely to hold a full day's worth of items.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the biggest in our test group. They're comfortable with average padding and two recline settings. The recline adjusts easily by using one hand, however it takes two hands to raise it back up.
