Lightweight strollers should be easy to fold and simple to use. The best travel prams also have a compact fold that easily fits in overhead bins or smaller pushchairs car seats boots and can even accommodate the infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram that parents prefer to use for their children who are on the move, thanks to its super-lightweight design that's gate-check friendly and its compact fold. It also has a great turn radius and a nearly flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is known as an elegant, feature-packed product that is well-designed. The stroller is extremely light and folds into an extremely compact size for transport. It also has an front wheel lock that keeps it in place while being used, and a fixed canopy to provide adequate protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous storage basket.

Unlike the more expensive models within the UPPAbaby family the G-Luxe is quite affordable and comes with a variety of extras, such as an adult cup holder and a rain cover. It also comes with a handy brake system that is one step and handles that are tall, making it easier for parents of all heights to push, and a simple hand-level folding system that makes it simple to carry the stroller.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe comes with a modern, sturdy frame that mimics the VISTA CRUZ and VISTA strollers. It also has a new, single-wheeled front-end design that improves maneuverability, and a bigger canopy with an opening sunshade which provides SPF 50plus protection. It also has a convenient storage basket and an easy-to-access back-of-seat storage compartment.

While the G-Luxe scored high in our noise testing but it was not at the top of the class in terms of performance or durability. It also had the smallest recline positions of our test models and its rear-facing seats aren't suitable for children under two years old.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close contender however it didn't win the prize for the best umbrella stroller. It still offers many of the features that make the top contenders so popular among families. It weighs 16 lbs and has a small folded footprint however, it's not as compact as some of the other models we evaluated. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 pounds lighter than the G-Luxe and folds down to an even smaller size which makes it an ideal option for parents who want a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to maneuver.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram bags delivers on its promises. It is simple to use, lightweight, and elegant. It is designed to fit in with urban life, but it is also suitable to travel. It's more expensive than other models however it has a rain cover.

Five Frenchmen formed BabyZen with the intention of creating a lightweight stroller that could be used in urban areas. The YOYO2 version is their most recent. The YOYO2 is an innovative folding and unfolding device that can be operated by using only one hand. It's also extremely compact and light and can be carried on the shoulder. It's a great choice for infants and comes with the capacity of a bassinet. Once your baby is old enough to go, it can be transformed into a seat. You can also add a car seat to create an all-in-one travel system.

In terms of features in terms of features, the YOYO2 is a fantastic suspension that can handle tough terrain well and it's extremely easy to move around. It comes with a huge storage basket, and a zip pocket that is sufficient to store your wallet, phone, or snacks. It can be connected with other YOYOs for bigger families and it's compatible with all Babyzen accessories like the footmuff and the large shopping bag.

The only downside of the YOYO2 would be that it's not suitable for long walks on cobblestones, or in parks. It's a smooth and easy ride, but may not be as durable as a product designed for more rugged terrain. If you are planning to use it for short city walks or to run some errands, it will perform the task well. The YOYO2 is simple to take in and out from the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit in the footwell as well. It's also smaller than most people's hand luggage making it perfect for flying with a baby.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a light, practical stroller with lots of features. It folds into a small package so it is easy to transport and store. It is the lightest stroller that we tested and is among the top budget alternatives available. It is not suitable for daily use since it does not have an infant bassinet or car seat, but it is great for travel.

It can hold toddlers easily. The seat is flat for napping or diaper changes and the 5-point harness can be adjusted to three height positions as your child grows. The storage basket is spacious and there's an apron for a cup on the back for parents to use. There is a window that peeks out on the canopy that is covered with the flap of fabric, and an extra zippered pocket for smaller items.

Similar to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe This stroller is able to steer very well on smooth surfaces, but it got stuck in cracks during our rough terrain testing. The wheels are made of plastic and they vibrate more than the average of our test group. It has a shorter strap to carry than the majority of the strollers we tested, which makes it difficult to carry if you're carrying a heavy bag.

The 3Dlite folds in just four seconds and then unfolds in just six. There are a few steps in the process: raising the lever on the back center to release the latch, then pushing down the latch on the right back side and then lowering the handles. While these are not the fastest or slowest fold and unfold times of any stroller they are nevertheless pretty quick. It has relatively taller handles which could pose a problem for those who are shorter.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has a major drawback: it doesn't have a sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy, but doesn't offer much protection for your child when you're walking facing the sun. It does have an adjustable sun visor that provides some protection when it is fully open but it does not cover your baby's head completely.

Zoe Traveler

If you're looking for a light and compact stroller, consider the Zoe Traveler. This stroller isn't just lightweight, but also can fold up to the size and shape of a carry on suitcase! That's a huge plus in our book. It also has an amazing sun canopy and comes loaded with extras such as a parent facing pushchair console, Travel Pram backpack/storage bag, a single or double shoulder or cross-body carry straps, kids' snack tray, weather cover and more!

Zoe started as a family-owned enterprise and they pride themselves on creating products that offer parents pushchair with car seat the most value as their children develop. This is evident in their range of strollers, which includes a range from a basic umbrella model to a twin double that can be expanded with reclined seats. Their strollers for travel are among the top options available, and they provide the best value for your buck.

We tested the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it to other models on the basis of functionality and user-friendliness. We analyzed a variety of aspects, including fold and unfold as well as storage and maneuverability and safety. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold. However, it takes only one hand. It's also not as smooth as some of its rivals. It's not a good option for parents with taller heights because the handlebars only extend about 40 inches, which may be uncomfortable on long trips.

Storage is important in a stroller, particularly when you're traveling. It's a significant portion of our overall score on ease of use. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7/10 in this category. There's a small container in the back of the seat that can accommodate a diaper bag, and perhaps a coat or jacket. However, it's unlikely to hold a whole day's worth of supplies.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the biggest 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 get it back to a straight position.
