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

A stroller must be easy to maneuver and fit into small spaces. This model folds with just one hand and is great for traveling.

The canopy is big and has a peek-aboo window. It also has an enormous undercarriage bag. The only downside is that it won't fit into the overhead bins.

Features

Whether you are traveling to work or for vacation, choosing the right travel stroller can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful excursion. Take into consideration your child's weight and age as well as features like a wide recline with plenty of storage space and weather protection. Select a model that you can fold and unfold easily using one hand. This is crucial especially if you're handling your child's small size.

The egg2 was a fantastic choice for us because of its compact fold, light weight and sturdy feel. It also has an adjustable recline mechanism, a large basket under the seat, and the handbar is extremely comfortable. The only downsides are the slightly stiff leg rest and limited storage space. The leg rest and basket can fit into a small tote but you'll need to remove the cushion in order to access it. The seat does not come with a large pocket. This can be a problem when you're trying to balance several bags and a squirmy child.

If you're looking to buy a economical single pushchairs-handle, then check out the Qbit+ All by GB City. It's akin to the Nuna Trvl, with its one-hand folding feature as well as an accessible leg rest. It doesn't have the same amount of undercarriage storage as other models, and its canopy is smaller.

During our testing, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth and easy ride across all surfaces. It was able to roll smoothly over paved sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel and held up well in our durability tests. It also offers a variety of customization options including a bassinet for newborns and riding boards.

The stroller is light and can be folded in half to fit inside the overhead bin of a train or plane. The stroller has a modern, sleek design that has an encasement on the front to store the phone of the parent and a larger one in the back for larger bags or weekenders. The padded seat has a pleasing shape, and the buckle system is simple to use, even with you have a toddler in the back. It's also one of the few models that we tested with a foot brake, which makes it easier to stop when necessary.

Design

If you're going to use a stroller on the go, look for a model that can be easily folded and carried around with other bags. Some of these strollers also come with a carry case or strap that allows you to carry them on your shoulders. These models are great for long days of exploring during vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transport.

When choosing a single-hand fold stroller, take into consideration features like the size of the basket and the depth of the recline and how big you want the canopy. Also, consider whether you need a parent tray, an adjustable leg rest and the weight that the stroller can hold.

Other notable lightweight strollers include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a spot on our best car seat travel systems list) and the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo has a self-standing fold that is one-handed and compatible with six car seat brands. It's a little heavier than the other top models, but its front wheel can absorb bumps better.

The UPPAbaby Miniu comes with a lot of the same functions as the brand's bigger prams, but it folds more compactly and can fit in most airplane overhead bins. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is easy to use. It comes with a neat, unstructured storage pouch in the rear and a lockable latch that ensures it is folded when it is in transit.

While it does have a few drawbacks like its limited recline (it can only be repositioned to a very slightly reclining position) and instructions that use pictures instead of words, it's a good choice for families who need a simple stroller that is light enough for short trips.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is particularly suitable for travelers. It's light (13.7 lbs) and features a compact and compact fold that makes it easy to fit in the aisles of airplanes and overhead storage bins and has a number of features at a reasonable cost. It's compatible with many car seat brands and is among the lightest travel strollers on the market.

It is not easy to handle. It has a narrow base and a small undercarriage storage capacity, which can make it less suitable for longer trips or errands. It's not the most smooth on all terrains and is prone to sway on bumps. The latest model has a more comfortable and well cushioned seats, but it's still not as high-end.

In general, we recommend single-handed strollers with brakes that are easy to lock, and a large undercarriage for storage. We also recommend a cushioned seat and harness for comfort and a cup holder that is convenient for parents and a footbrake that is simple to use.

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