A stroller should be simple to use and can be tucked away in tight spaces. This model folds in one hand and is great to travel with.

If you're traveling for work or going on vacation, picking the right stroller for your needs can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful trip. Be aware of the weight and age of your child and features like a wide recline, ample storage and weather protection. Select a model that you can fold and unfold with one hand. This is particularly important if you are holding the child's weight.

We were impressed by the egg2's compact fold and its light, sturdy feel. It also features a fantastic cushioned handlebar, a reclining mechanism and a spacious underseat basket. The only negatives are the somewhat stiff leg rest and limited storage space. The leg rest basket as well as the leg rest can both fit a small bag however, to do this you'll need to remove the cushion from the seat. The seat does not come with an ample pocket. This can be a hassle when trying to manage multiple bags and a squirmy child.

If you're looking for a single pro stroller-handle version that is more affordable take a look at the GBQbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. It doesn't have the same amount of undercarriage storage as some other models and its canopy is smaller.

In our tests the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth ride across all surfaces. It was able to roll smoothly over asphalted sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel and held up well in our tests of durability. In addition, it offers plenty of customization options including a baby bassinet attachment and a riderboard for older siblings.

A great option for parents who travel frequently, this lightweight stroller folds in half to fit into an overhead bin on trains or planes. The stroller has a modern, sleek design that has a small pocket on the front for parents' phones and a larger one at the back to store larger bags or weekenders. The cushioned seat is designed, and the buckle system uses magnetic buckles that are simple to use and fast to secure, even with a squirmy toddler in the back. It's also one of only a few models that we tested with brake feet, making it easier to stop in the event of need.

Design

If you're planning to travel with a stroller, choose a model that is easy to fold and carry and transport with other luggage. Some of these strollers come with a carrying case or strap that allows you to carry them on your shoulders. These strollers are ideal for long days of sightseeing or navigating narrow aisles on public transportation.

Consider features such as the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when choosing a single push chair-hand folding stroller. Also, consider whether you need a parent tray or an adjustable leg rest and the weight that the stroller is able to hold.

The top pick of GH's editors for a stroller with one hand is the Nuna Trvl. It's a compact travel stroller that is easy to maneuver and has an extended recline as well as large storage space. It looks stunning, is easy to maneuver and makes sharp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City is another excellent option for a light and compact stroller that's easy to carry. It's similar to Nuna Trvl, however it's slightly less expensive and comes with extra convenience features. It has an adjustable legrest as well as an easier recline system that extends almost all the way back.

Other notable strollers that are lightweight include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a spot on our top car seat travel systems list), the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and features an easy-to-use, self-standing fold that can be folded with one hand. It is a little heavier than other top models, but its front wheel could absorb bumps better.

The UPPAbaby Minu offers many of the same functionality as the brand's bigger prams however, it folds more compactly and fits into the majority of overhead bins for airplanes. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is simple to use. It comes with a neat, unstructured storage pouch at the rear and a locking latch that keeps it folded while in transit.

This nimble stroller folds down into a very compact, lightweight package and can fit in overhead bins for airlines, making it perfect for air travel. It also has an ample storage basket as well as a tray for children. It does have some disadvantages, like the restricted recline (it can only be lowered to a very slight angle) and instructions in pictures instead of words. However it is a great option for families who want a lightweight, simple stroller.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that's especially suited for families traveling. It is super-light (13.7 pounds), has a small and compact fold that makes it easy to fit in the aisles of airplanes and overhead storage bins, and comes with decent features for a reasonable price. It's compatible with numerous car seat brands, and is one of the lightest strollers available.

It is not easy to maneuver. Its narrow base and the limited storage under the car may limit its usefulness for long trips or errands. It's not the smoothest rider on all terrains and has a tendency to rock when bumps occur. The latest model has a more comfortable and better cushioned seats, but it's not as expensive.

We recommend strollers that are single-handed with brakes that lock easily and an undercarriage large enough to store things in. We also recommend a cushioned harness and seat for comfort, a convenient cup holder for parents, and a foot brake that's easy to use.

Our top picks are based upon extensive testing done by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test strollers in our New York City lab and on the streets of the city. We also donate eight strollers that we test to local families who are in need.

Another great single-hand fold stroller is the Uppababy Cruz. The stroller has a large seat that has a deep reclining position and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver, even over rough terrain. Its front wheels are specially designed for India's bumpy roads, and it features a padded linked brake to help you stop easily. The only downside is that the Cruz isn't equipped with an adjustable strap for carrying, which means it's not suitable for long walks.
