A Single Hand Fold Stroller Is Easy to Use and Fits Into Tight Spaces

A stroller should be simple to use and can be tucked away in tight spaces. This single-hand fold model accomplishes both well and is a great choice to travel with.

It also comes with a huge undercarriage basket, a reclining seat and a spacious canopy with a peek-aboo window. The only issue is that it's not able to fit in some overhead bins for airlines.

Features

When you travel for work or going on vacation, selecting the right stroller for your child will determine the success or failure of your journey. Consider the weight and age of your child, in addition to features such as a deep recline, ample storage space, and weather protection. You should also choose one that is easy to fold and unfold using one hand, particularly when you're carrying your child.

We loved the egg2's small fold and lightweight, robust feel. It also features a fantastic padded handlebar, adjustable recline mechanism, and an ample underseat basket. The only downsides are a stiff leg rest and the limited storage space. The leg rest basket as well as the leg rests can both fit in inside a compact bag however to do this, you'll need to take off the seat cushion. The seat doesn't have a large pocket. This can be a problem when trying to manage multiple bags and a squirmy child.

If you're seeking a single-handle model that is less expensive, then you should look into the GBQbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways with one-hand folding as well as an accessible leg rest. It does not have the same amount of storage under the carriage as other models and its canopy is smaller.

In our tests, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth ride on all surfaces. It was able to roll smoothly over shag carpet, paved sidewalks and gravel and held up well in our tests of durability. It also provides a variety of customization options including a bassinet attachment for a newborn and the rider board.

The stroller's lightweight design can be folded in half to fit in the overhead bin of a plane or train. The stroller is sleek, modern design with a small pocket in the front for a parent’s phone and a larger pocket in the back for larger bags or weekenders. The padded seat is nicely designed, and the buckle system is equipped with magnetic buckles that are simple to use and quick to secure, even with a squirmy toddler in tow. It's also one of only a few models that we tested with brake feet, making it easy to stop when needed.

Design

If you are planning to travel with a stroller, choose a model that is easy to fold, carry, and transport with other luggage. Some of these travel strollers have straps or a carrying case that allows you to sling them on your shoulder. These models are great for long days of exploring during vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transport.

Take into consideration features like the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when choosing a single-hand stroller that folds. Also think about whether you need a tray for your child or an adjustable leg rest and how much weight the stroller can hold.

The top choice of GH's for a stroller that can be operated by one hand is the Nuna Trvl. It's a light stroller that is easy to handle, comes with a a deep reclining seat and an ample storage bag. It looks great and is simple to maneuver and takes sharp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another ideal choice for a light and compact stroller. It's also easy to carry. It is similar to the Nuna Trvl but is a bit less expensive and comes with additional features for convenience. It has an adjustable legrest as well as a recline system that extends nearly all the way back.

Other lightweight travel strollers worth mentioning are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and comes with a one-handed, self-standing fold. It's a bit heavier than other top models in this class However, its front wheel might be more effective in taking on bumps.

The UPPAbaby Mini has many of the same features as larger prams made by the brand, but folds more compactly. It is able to fit into the majority of overhead bins on airplanes. The padding on the seat is substantial and its recline feature has two settings that are simple to use. It also has a nice, unstructured rear storage pouch and a lock clasp that keeps the stroller folded when it is in use.

Weight

This nimble stroller folds down into a very compact, light-weight package that can be tucked away in overhead bins of airlines, making it perfect for travel. It also features a large storage basket and child tray. Although it has a few drawbacks like its restricted recline (it only goes to a very slightly reclining position) and instructions that use images instead of words, it's an excellent choice for families who need an easy stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry on short excursions.

The BabyZen YoYo2 stroller is a popular choice for travelers. It's light (13.7 pounds), has a small and compact fold, which makes it easy to fit in airplane aisles and overhead storage bins, and comes with decent features for a reasonable price. It's compatible with many car seat brands and is among the lightest strollers available on the market.

However, it is not the easiest to handle. It has a narrow base and limited undercarriage storage capacity, which can make it less suitable for longer trips or for errands. It's also not the smoothest rider on most terrain and tends to sway on bumps. The most recent version comes with more comfort in the seat and better padding however, it's not as high-end as the first.

We prefer single buggy with buggy board-handed strollers with brakes that lock easily and an undercarriage that's spacious for storage. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for comfort, as well as a cup holder that is suitable for parents and an easy footbrake to use.

Our top picks were selected after extensive testing by Senior Editor Chris Abell, and Commerce Updates Editor Hillary Maglin. We test the strollers both in our New York City laboratory and on the streets of the city. We also donate eight of the strollers we review to local families in need.

Safety

These strollers that are lightweight are designed to fold up and fit into tight spaces, to allow you to navigate through busy airport terminals and streets with ease.

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is among the best single-hand folding strollers on market. It folds in just four seconds with just one hand, but it does take a few seconds to click into place. Its narrow frame means it fits nicely in overhead bins and can be moved as luggage along 19-inch airplane aisles. The canopy provides ample protection from the sun, and the fabric is durable. There are two cup holders as well as an adult tray.

The Uppababy Cruz is another excellent stroller that can be folded by one hand. This stroller has an extra-wide seat that has a deep recline and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver even on rough surfaces. The front wheels are made for India's rough roads, and it comes with a padded brake linked to it. The only downside is that the Cruz does not have an adjustable strap for carrying, which means it's not suitable for long walks.

Finally, the Mountain Buggy Nano is a great option for those who want a stroller with a single hand that is also light and compact. It's a bit heavier than other choices on this list but it weighs less than 16 pounds and can be tucked away in the overhead compartments of most planes. The storage basket is large enough to hold bags for diapers, and the seat has two reclining positions.

The Quick is a great travel stroller that offers top features in a light and compact 12.8-lb design. Its sleek chassis can hold 30 different infant car seats and toddlers up to 50 lb and is compatible with most carrycots and infant carriers. It also comes with a convenient strap for carrying that allows you to carry it over your shoulder when you're on the go.
