Best Lightweight Single Stroller

It is the lightest and most compact stroller for travel available. Its sleek design makes it easy to fold into a neat rectangle and the wheels rotate more smoothly than other styles.

The stroller also has a large storage area under the seat and an adjustable shoulder strap that makes it easier to transport when you're not pushing it. But the canopy adjustment can create lots of noise which could wake a sleepy toddler.

1. Contours Itsy

The Contours Itsy is a compact stroller with a lot of features for its size. Its back under-seat basket is spring loaded, so you can lower it to store bags or diapers in and it will pop up to secure the contents. It also has a tray for accessories for children as well as an adjustable reclining seat back pad and a reclining seat back pad, which offer more options than what you usually find on a lightweight stroller.

Additionally, it has an impressive canopy that is able to open and close to provide the sun protection you require, and the handlebar is height-adjustable in four positions to ensure a good fit. However, we weren't thrilled with the ride quality on rough terrain. We found that the wheels and suspension didn't do a good job of absorbing bumps and shocks.

It's a great stroller for travel since it arrives in a box that is fully assembled, with just few steps to get it set to use. The seat can be pushed forward and backward to adjust the recline, which is pretty much flat. It's easy to fold and unfold because of two buttons on the frame. It can be tucked away in a very convenient carrying bag when not in use. In fact, it's one of the smallest strollers we've test, and it can meet the requirements of many airlines for gate-checking or cabin storage on airplanes. Check with your airline to determine whether there are any restrictions before you travel.

It even has an adult tray and a child tray each with two cup holders.

The quality, however it is at the lower end, and it did not fare well in our maneuverability tests. It has a flexible frame, which makes pushing it on rough surfaces feel like lifting heavy weights. It may be fine if you only use the stroller on sidewalks with paved surfaces. However, for the majority of people it is not comfortable.

The Cloud Plus features a three-tiered extended canopy with a peek-aboo window to provide additional sun protection. The seat is multi-position and can accommodate children up to 50 pound and uses a 5-point safety restraint system. This is a fantastic feature for older toddlers who have outgrown their infant car seats.

It features a one-step, compact folding mechanism and can be collapsed with practically just a push of a button. It also has a convenient foot-activated brake that is simple and easy to adjust and release.

However the handle is lower than other strollers we've tested, and some parents might find it uncomfortable for extended durations. The handle is secured in position when it's opened. This is a great feature to have in case you are planning to use the stroller over uneven or gravelly terrain.

3. Munchkin Sparrow

The Munchkin Sparrow is the ultimate travel stroller for parents who are on the go. This ultra-compact stroller folds up and down easily and can be tucked away in the overhead compartments on planes or trunks in amusement parks (no need to fret about parking fees). It also comes with an easy-zip bag for storage that is easy to carry. It can be used with the infant car adapter from birth and provides good sun protection with its canopy. The only drawback is that some parents consider the design to be a bit utilitarian and expensive.

The BabyZen Yoyo+ is a little more expensive than other lightweight single seater buggy for sale strollers, but it was designed specifically for luxurious travel and urban living. It's one of the most easy strollers to fold, and comes with a convenient carry case. It has plenty of storage space as well as a cupholder. The seat is comfortable for both the adult and child, and it reclines to a nearly flat position. This is the only stroller on our list that can be used for infants using the car seat adapter. Some parents with shorter legs might not like the handlebar, which isn't adjustable.

The UPPAbaby Minu V2 may not be the lightest stroller, however it is packed with amazing features that help children travel more easily. The spacious seat reclines into an upright position and comes with additional padding to make those plane naps more comfortable. The canopy that extends can provide adequate sun protection, and the tray has plenty of storage. It also has an adjustable footrest that can double as a handle when folded. The footrest, however, appears to be prone to damage from baggage handlers.

4. Uppababy Minu V2

Uppababy Minu V2 is an elegant stroller that is stylish and has a high-end design and quality. Its compact design allows it to easily navigate narrow sidewalks and tight spaces and its robust construction allows it to handle rough terrain without compromising the comfort of your child. Front and rear spring-action suspensions provide a noticeably more comfortable ride for both of you, and its sturdy materials ensure it can stand up to everyday wear and tear without losing its shape. Additionally it can be extended to accommodate additional items such as baby car seat.

Its squat almost square fold which folds in thirds, is one of the most simple folds we've seen and allows it to easily fit into overhead compartments on planes or public transportation. It also features a single running stroller-action brake with color coded that's simple to use.

The seat reclines in a variety of positions and the leg rest can be adjusted using one hand, making it easy to determine your child's ideal position. The UPF 50+ hood slid down quite a ways and was ideal for protecting Cora's eyes from the sun (though not quite as low as some other strollers). The medium-sized mesh window is magnetically attached to the canopy and closes without the need for noisy Velcro.

The Minu weighs less than 15 pounds and has an integrated handle for simple transport. It also comes with an adjustable shoulder strap.

5. Joovy Aire

Joovy, the well-known brand of strollers offers a variety of models. This light-weight model is a good option for parents who want a workhorse stroller that carts kids around, offers ample storage space, is relatively simple to use and doesn't require a high engineering degree to fold. It's not ideal if you want a car seat-compatible model or a double stroller, however. It won't work with infant car seats, and your infants must be able to sit on their own before you can use the stroller from the first day.

This stroller has some solid features and an impressive price. It scored higher in our maneuverability test than other strollers with similar specifications. It's also a great option for smooth paved surfaces. It has a large parent tray, a canopy, and plenty of storage. The handlebar is a bit smaller than average and the front wheel suspension is stiffer but it's still suitable for adults.

If you have twins, or two kids of different in age, you might find a side by side stroller is the best way to transport them. Our top pick is the Joovy Twin Groove, which offers plenty of features, and has a slim footprint that can be used into places that other side-byside alternatives can't.

It has a large canopy and a peek-aboo window, and tons of storage. It's heavier than other side-bysides, but it has a decent weight capacity and can accommodate most children up to 50 pounds. It is possible to add a bassinet on the front of the stroller to accommodate newborns.

The Caboose RS Sit and Stand Stroller provides a luxurious version of the stroller. It offers the same great features as the model above and comes with a bassinet to allow you to take your baby home from the hospital with style.
