Best Lightweight single Fold pushchair Stroller

Travel strollers aren't much lighter or more compact than this. Its sleek design is easy to fold into a neat rectangle shape and the wheels spin more smoothly than other models.

It also has an under-seat storage space and a shoulder carry strap which makes it easier to lug around when not pushing it. The canopy adjustment can be noisy which can disturb the sleep of a child.

1. Contours Itsy

The Contours Itsy is a compact stroller that has a variety of features for its size. The basket in the back of the seat is spring loaded, meaning that you can pull it down to stuff a diaper bag or backpack in and it will pop up to keep the contents. It comes with a child's accessory holder and an adjustable reclined seat pad. This is more than what you see on a typical light stroller.

In addition, it has a great canopy that can open and close to provide the sun protection you require, and the handlebar is adjustable in height four positions to provide a more comfortable fit. However, we weren't impressed with the quality of its ride on rough surfaces. We found that the suspension and wheels didn't do a good job of absorbing shocks and bumps.

The stroller is perfect for traveling because it comes fully assembled in the box. It only takes just a few steps to make it ready for use. The seat can be pushed back and forward to adjust the recline. It's a bit flat. It's easy to fold and unfold because of two buttons on the frame. It can also be put into an easy-to-carry bag when it's not in use. It's actually one of the smallest strollers we tested, and it can meet the requirements of many airlines for gate-checking and cabin storage, on airplanes. Be sure to make sure to check with your airline prior to when you travel, as rules can differ.

2. Kolcraft Cloud Plus

This is a great option for those who are looking for a stroller that is lightweight. It comes with all the features parents desire in a stroller, such as all-terrain wheels and front suspension for an easy ride. It's also extremely light and weighs less than 12 pounds. It has a simple fold that can be folded with one hand and a self-standing fold. It also has a child tray and parent tray each with two cup holders.

Its build quality isn't very high, and it did not do well in our maneuverability test. It also has a swivel frame which makes pushing it over rough surfaces feel like lifting a heavy weight. It is possible that you use the stroller only on sidewalks that are paved. But for most people, it's not ideal.

The Cloud Plus features a three-tiered extended canopy with a peek-aboo window for additional sun protection. Its multi-position seat accommodates children as heavy as 50 pounds and has five points of safety restraint. This is a fantastic feature for older toddlers who have outgrown infant car seats.

It's compact and folds down in one step. It can be collapsed by pressing an appropriate button. It also comes with an easy, foot-activated break that's easy to set up and release.

The handle is lower than the majority of the strollers we have tested, and some parents might find it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. The handle is secured in position when it's opened. This is an excellent feature to have in case you are going to be using the stroller on uneven or gravelly terrain.

3. Munchkin Sparrow

The Munchkin Sparrow is the ultimate travel stroller for parents who are on the move. This ultra-compact stroller is a breeze to fold down and up, and fits easily in overhead compartments on planes as well as in trunks at amusement parks (no need to worry about parking charges). It comes with a convenient zip carrying bag for easy storage. It can be used right from birth using the infant car seat adapter and offers a good amount of coverage in the sun by way of its canopy (though not as much as the Nuna TRVL or Uppababy Minu V2). The only issue is that some parents find the style to be utilitarian and cheap.

The BabyZen Yoyo+ is a bit more expensive than the other lightweight single strollers however, it was created specifically for luxury urban living and travel. It is one of the easiest strollers to fold and comes with a handy carry case. It is packed with storage space as well as a cupholder. The seat is comfortable for the adult and child, and reclines to a nearly flat position. This is the only stroller on our list that can be used by a newborn with the car seat adapter. Some parents with shorter legs might not like the handlebar, as it isn't adjustable.

The UPPAbaby Minu V2 isn't the lightest stroller on our list, but it has numerous amazing features that help kids travel more easily. The large seat reclines to a flat position, and it comes with additional padding to make those airplane napping sessions more comfortable. The canopy that can be extended has a lot of sun-shade, and the parent tray has plenty of storage. It also has a spring-loaded handle that doubles as a footrest when folded. This footrest is prone to damage from baggage handlers.

4. Uppababy Mini V2

The Uppababy Minu V2 is a premium stroller that isn't compromising on quality and design. Its compact design makes it easy to navigate narrow streets and tight spaces and its robust construction lets it handle rough terrain without compromising the safety of your child. The spring-action suspension in the rear and front creates an even more comfortable ride and the durable materials will stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use. Additionally it can be extended to accommodate additional items such as baby car seat.

Even with a baby on hand, the Minu was a breeze to fold and maneuver. Its squat nearly square fold which folds in thirds, is among the easiest in our tests and allows it to fit in overhead compartments on planes and public transport. It comes with a single buggy with buggy board-action color-coded brake that is easy to use.

The seat has a multi-position recline as well as a one-handed adjustable leg rest, so it's easy to find the perfect position for your child. The UPF 50+ hood went down quite a ways and was ideal for shielding Cora's eyes from sun (though not as low as other strollers). There's also a medium-sized mesh peek-a-boo window that closes magnetically and adheres to the canopy, rather than using noisy Velcro.

At just under 15 pounds, the Minu is easy to carry thanks to its built-in carry handle and a shoulder strap. It can also be put in the trunk of your vehicle. It comes with a storage bag as well as access to the TravelSafe program offered by Uppababy, which adds two years onto the manufacturer's warranty. It also covers repairs for items damaged in the course of air travel.

5. Joovy Aire

Joovy is an established brand that makes various strollers. This light model is a good choice for parents looking for an all-purpose stroller that can carry children around, has plenty of storage, is easy to move around and doesn't require an engineering degree to fold. This model isn't suitable for those who want an extra stroller or a car-seat compatible model. It won't work with infant car seats, and your children must be able to sit independently before they can use this stroller from the first day.

This stroller is loaded with features and is available at a very affordable price. It scored a higher rating in our review of maneuverability than other strollers with similar specs, and it's an excellent choice for smooth paved surfaces. It has a large parent tray, a canopy and plenty of storage. The front wheel suspension is stiff and the handlebar is smaller than average, but it offers an enjoyable ride for adults.

If you have twins or two kids of different ages you may discover a side by side stroller the best single buggy option to take them around. Our favorite is the Joovy Twin Groove, which comes with a wide range of features and a small footprint that fits in places that other side-by-side options can't.

It features reclining seats that are individually adjustable as well as a large canopy that has an open window, and plenty of storage. It's heavier than other side-bysides however it has a decent capacity for weight and can handle most children weighing up to 50lbs. It's possible to add a bassinet to the front of the stroller to accommodate newborns.

The Caboose RS Sit and Stand Stroller provides an elegant version of the stroller. It has the same fantastic features and can be outfitted with a bassinet so that you can bring your baby home with style from the hospital.
