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

Lightweight strollers need to be quick to fold and simple to use. The best travel strollers also fold up compactly to fit into overhead bins and smaller car boot spaces, and they can accommodate the car seat of an infant.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram of choice for many parents who travel thanks to its ultra-lightweight design that's gate-check friendly and its compact fold. It has a great turning radius and a flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has earned a reputation for being a stylish, feature-packed product that is intuitively designed. It is extremely lightweight and folds down to the size of a suitcase for easy transport. It also has a convenient front wheel lock that helps keep the stroller in place when in use and a fixed canopy that gives ample coverage against the sun. It is easy to maneuver and comes with a large storage basket.

The G-Luxe, in contrast to the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby line, is actually affordable. It also includes a few additional features like a cup for the parent holder, and a rain cover. It also comes with a handy one-step brake system with handles that are tall to make it easier for parents of all sizes to push, and an easy-to-use hand-level folding mechanism which makes it easy to carry the stroller.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe comes with a modern, sturdy frame that mimics the VISTA & CRUZ strollers. It also features an updated, single-wheeled front design that increases maneuverability and a larger canopy with an open sunshade that provides SPF 50+ protection. It also features a large storage basket and a back-of-seat pocket that is easy to access.

While the G-Luxe scored high in our noise tests, it was not top of the class in terms of performance and durability. It also had the smallest recline positions of our test models and its rear-facing seats aren't recommended for children younger than two years old.

Although the UPPAbaby G-Luxe did not win our best umbrella stroller award, it was still an excellent contender and has many of the features that make our winners so loved by families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a small footprint when folded, but it is not as compact as. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 lbs lighter than the G-Luxe and folds down to an even smaller size, making it an excellent option for parents who want a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to move.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram delivers on its promises. It is simple to use, light, and elegant. It's designed to blend into city life and if you want to travel with it then it's perfect for that too. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other options on this list but it's one of the few that come with an umbrella for rain.

Five Frenchmen created BabyZen with the aim of creating a lightweight stroller for urban living. The YOYO2 is their latest version. The YOYO2 is an innovative folding and unfolding device that can be done with just one hand. It's also super lightweight and compact and can be carried on the shoulder. It can be used right from birth and it has a bassinet that is suitable for babies. It's then able to be converted into a seat once your baby stroller is ready for the next stage. You can also add a car seat to transform it into an all-in-one travel system.

The YOYO2 is a great bicycle with suspension that can handle rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a huge storage basket, and a zip pocket that is large enough to fit your wallet, phone, or even snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families, and is compatible with all Babyzen accessories, such as an earplug and a big shopping bag.

The only downside of the YOYO2 is that it's not suitable for long walks on cobblestones or in parks. It is a smooth ride, but it may not be as durable as something made for more rocky terrain. If you are planning to use it for short city walks or to run around, it'll do the job well. The YOYO2 is easy to get into and out from the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit into the footwell too. It's also smaller than the majority of people's hand luggage, making it perfect for flying with a child.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is lightweight, feature-rich stroller that folds down into compact size for easy transport and storage. It is the lightest stroller we tested and one of the best budget alternatives available. It is not suitable for everyday use as it does not come with an infant bassinet or car seat however it is perfect for travel.

It is able to support a weight capacity of 50 pounds and is able to accommodate toddlers. The large seat lays almost flat to allow for napping and diaper changes and the 5-point harness adjusts to three height positions as your child grows. The storage basket is spacious and has an apron for a cup on the back for parents to use. There is a peekaboo window on the canopy that is covered with a fabric flap and a pocket with a zipper for smaller items.

This stroller, just like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is able to steer well on smooth surfaces, but can get stuck in cracks when we test it on rough terrain. The wheels are plastic and have a higher frequency of vibration than the average for our test group. It has a shorter strap for carrying than the majority of the strollers we tested, making it difficult to carry if you're carrying a large bag.

The 3Dlite unfolds and folds in only six seconds. The process is a few steps to lift the lever at the back of the stroller to release the latch, pull down the latch on the right side, then push the handles down. Although these aren't the fastest or most slow 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 shorter people.

The main drawback of the Summer Infant 3D Lite is that it lacks a complete sunshade. It has a fairly large canopy, but it doesn't offer any protection for your child if you are walking with them facing the sun. It has a retractable visor which offers some protection when fully open but doesn't completely protect the head of your baby.

Zoe Traveler

If you're looking for a light and super compact stroller, look no further than the Zoe Traveler. This stroller is not only light, but it also folds down to the size of a carry-on suitcase! That's a huge advantage in our book. Plus, it has an amazing sun canopy and comes with additional features like an adult console, travel backpack/storage bag, a single or double shoulder or cross-body straps, a snack tray and a weather cover!

Zoe was founded as a family-owned business and they take pride in making products that give parents maximum value as their children grow. This is evident in their stroller line which includes everything from a basic umbrella to an expanding double that has reclining chairs. Their strollers for travel are one of the best alternatives available, and they provide the best value for your buck.

We tried the Zoe Traveler to see how it compares to competition in terms of user-friendliness and functionality. We looked at a variety of factors such as the fold and unfold, storage, maneuverability, and safety. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold. However, it takes some effort using just one hand. It's not as smooth as some of its competitors. It's not the best choice for taller parents, because the handlebars are just 40 inches high. This can make it uncomfortable on long rides.

It is important to have plenty of storage space in your stroller, especially when you are on the road. It's a significant portion of our overall ease of use score. The Zoe Traveler scored 7 out of 10. A small bin can be found in the back seat. It can accommodate the diaper bag, stroller and perhaps a jacket or coat. But it's not likely to fit a full day's worth of supplies.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the largest in our test group. The seats have average padding, and there are two recline settings. The recline is easily adjusted with one hand, but it takes two hands to raise it back up.
