If you're on a quick outing around town, a whirlwind weekend trip or exploring distant destinations, the Nuna Trvl Stroller will ensure your travels are smooth and hassle-free.

5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller

This stroller has plenty to offer a single child model. It has a quick one-second fold and an expandable basket that includes a parent cup holder. It also has an adjustable child's tray that pivots and five-point harness. It's only downside is that it does not fully recline, so it's a bad option for babies.

This is the cheapest stroller we've reviewed. It's light and has high seats that give your child a good view. It's not as durable as the higher-end models however, and can struggle on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones. It also has two front wheels that can be moved to the side when they encounter obstacles.

The 3D Lite comes with a small storage container that is able to hold a backpack diaper bag of medium size. It also offers an unobstructed view of the canopy. The sunshade is smallest and does not extend to the back of your child's. It does come with a sun visor that is able to pop out.

The frame has a 5-point harness that is padded on the seat and the frame comes with a shoulder strap that lets you carry it when folded. It's not as compact as the TraveLite however it folds easily.

It comes with a three-position seat recline, but it does not fully flat (use beginning at 6 months and up). The brakes are more rigid than the competitors and require both sides to be pressed in order to get full engagement of the brakes. Overall, the quality of the 3D Lite is decent for its price. It's better than the budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus however, it's not as great at some of the more costly competitors.
