Maneuverability

Stroller maneuverability is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration. Whether you're strolling through the mall or walking along the narrow path of the museum, a small single stroller should be easy to push and turn without losing performance. It is essential to be able of rolling over a wide variety of surfaces from smooth paved walkways to cobblestone roads and gravel paths.

We evaluated the products by testing the size and tread pattern of the wheels, as well the weight of the stroller when empty. We found that the most compact strollers easily glided over all of our testing surfaces and were easy to maneuver, even when fully loaded.

We also evaluated their ability to handle rougher terrain such as grassy or gravelly parks. We did notice that a few models had issues with this, but the majority were still suitable for light use. We also examined the ease of these strollers to fold and carry. The majority were easy to fold and carry, and some took just two minutes and just one hand. One model, the Kooper comes with an additional feature that helps make it stand out from other ultralights: pushchairsandprams a medium-sized basket, reclining seat, and car seat adapters (it's compatible with more than 30 different car seats).

The Contours Quick is another lightweight stroller that's very versatile. It can accommodate up to two child seats, has excellent wheels for any surface, and is simple to open.

It's easy to put together and takes just a few minutes to put the wheels and bumper bar into the right position. It's also extremely light and compact which makes it a great choice for gate-checking on airplanes.

Seating

A compact single stroller must be spacious enough to accommodate a growing child and a full basket. Find a seat that reclines as well as a canopy to keep baby covered. If you are planning to use an automobile seat along with your stroller, be sure to check for adapters that work with the particular model you have.

Graco's Myavo travel stroller, which is priced at a bargain, is as suitable for day-to-day travel as it is for putting in your trunk or overhead bin during a flight.

It can also be used to make a custom ride-along boards for older children, creating the appearance of a tandem pushchair with the bassinet for newborns or the newborn pack.

Munchkin Sparrow is another option from a brand known for its travel buggies. It sports a funny bird name and a utilitarian appearance. Like the BabyZen Yoyo+, it can fold into a tiny carrying bag, and also has a pocket inside which you can store the bumper bar, removing the need to occupy the valuable trunk or overhead storage space. It's not the ideal choice for people who are small because the handlebar is rotated on a pivot and some of our testers found that it was too high.

The Minu V2 from UPPAbaby is similar in size to the Munchkin however it's more maneuverable and can fit into bags for carry-on. It also has a larger basket, an extendable canopy with lots of sun coverage and all-wheel suspension.

The only drawbacks to this stroller is the fact that it does not have storage under the carriage, and its fold is more complex and long than the other models. But if you plan frequent, short trips and want a compact single stroller suitable for babies it's worth it.

Storage

As your baby gets older and grows, you will use your stroller for longer trips away from home.
