It should also fit in the overhead bins for airlines. This streamlined stroller from UPPAbaby fits the bill. It folds easily and comes with a comfortable carrying strap and easily fits in the overhead compartment of planes. It has an easy, almost flat recline and smooth movement. Easy to Assemble Traveling can be stressful enough without having to think about how to take everything. That's why we think that a good travel stroller should be easy to assemble, fold, and carry around. This is exactly the features this light Kolcraft model offers. This lightweight, compact stroller is easy to open and close by pressing two buttons on the handle- all while still standing upright (no need to lean over to do it). It also fits in the overhead bins of many planes, and comes with a convenient carrying bag that is ideal to carry the stroller over your shoulder while you're on the move. This lightweight stroller was a good choice for travel. It was able to roll over all types terrain easily and was able to maneuver well. It also has a massive sun canopy with a zip-open mesh section that provides ample coverage and visibility for your baby and a simple adjustable leg rest and shoulder straps with padding. It also fits many Nuna PIPA car seats (just click, and you're finished) and comes with a large storage bag that can accommodate all your essentials on the go. This compact Babyzen stroller is a popular choice among parents who like to travel or reside in cities. It arrives in the box already assembled and is just as simple to open by pressing two buttons on the handle. It folds up in a similar manner and fits in the carrying bag. The only downside is that it might be a bit too big for some overhead bins used by airlines We've received reports of the handles being somewhat flimsy and some parents found it uncomfortable. It's still a great choice for those who want an ultra-light, compact travel stroller. We just wish it had an extra pocket for parents to use to store things like dollar bills for Ice cream! Easy to Fold Travel strollers are compact as the name implies. They are lighter and smaller than standard strollers, and they have smaller features such as cup holders and storage baskets. They must function well for everyday use, and they should be easy to carry. Consider a travel stroller that is suitable for your needs if you are planning to travel frequently with your child. For instance the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is simple to fold and can be tucked away in overhead bins. It's also easy to roll and maneuver even on rough terrain. The UPPAbaby also has some attractive features, including a deep recline and an additional sun canopy that gives your child a lot of protection. The only downside is that the mechanism to fold is a bit finicky and you may need to carefully time your hands to ensure that it is just right. Another alternative is the Babyzen YoYO2 that folds into a compact size and opens with one hand. It does not have as much storage space as other strollers, but it does offer some attractive features, like a comfortable carry strap, an ample undercarriage basket and a wide-extending canopy. It's our most expensive travel stroller, however, it's also the most luxurious. The Cybex Libelle 2 travel stroller is a different model that folds easy to unfold. It's heavier than other strollers, but is still compact and lightweight enough to make it a great choice for city living and luxurious travel. It also comes with plenty of nice touches, including a cup holder that fits a standard-size cup, a convenient carry handle and an extensible canopy that's large enough to shield your child from the sun. The UPPAbaby Minu is an excellent choice for people who already have the brand's Vista or Cruz strollers but want a lighter, more compact version. It weighs less than the original Minu, but it's still quite heavy for a travel stroller. It's a good thing that it comes with a lot of other cool features, such as large storage baskets with a deep recline, as well as an extendable sun canopy with UPF 50+ protection. Easy to Carry Whether you're taking your child on an airplane or packing it into the car for road trips the ease with the ease with which your stroller folds down can make all the difference in the ease to get through a busy airport or crowded bus. When folded, a good stroller for travel should easily fit into your trunk or overhead bin using a few controlled movements. It should also be able to stand up on its own. You should also be able to lift it with the handle, attach a carrying strap, or slip it into an enclosed storage bag for easier transportation. If you want to use your stroller on a plane choose one that is certified by the airline or is guaranteed to fit into overhead bins. The International Air Transport Association recommends carry-on luggage that's no bigger than 22 x18 x 10 inches. Many of our top picks, such as the ultra-lightweight Nuna TRVL, priced at $100 or more, will fit in these bins (although some require gate screening). The TRVL is so light that you can carry it as a bag. It has a cushioned shoulder strap and a bumper bar that can double as a handle. The TRVL is a great option for parents on the move, too, as it's compatible with all Nuna Pipa infant car seats without adapters. Our experts like the simple two-position recline mechanism as well as the no-rethread safety harness, which is made to expand with your baby. It's lighter than other travel strollers, making it a great choice for families who often travel. Other great features on this compact travel stroller include a spring-loaded back-of-the-underseat basket that's big enough for a backpack, diaper bag, or purse, and a flat, open sun canopy that offers some coverage and blockage (though it's not as large as the ones on some of our other top picks). It's also among the lightest strollers we tested—but be aware that although the majority of airlines allow you to check-in at the gate with a full-sized stroller, they may require you to carry the folded stroller through security and out of the plane cabin. If this is the case, you might want to consider buying a travel bag with a protective cover to protect it from damage by baggage handlers. Easy to Store A compact travel stroller is ideal for frequent travelers since it doesn't require a full-size stroller trunk or take up a lot of space in your hotel room or in your car. Some models are so small that they can be easily stowed in the overhead bin of an airplane and others are so light that they do not make a huge difference to the weight of carry-on luggage. They are also easy to maneuver in busy airports and on city sidewalks. If you're a frequent traveler it's worth purchasing one of the best strollers we've tried. The Silver Cross Jet 4 is an excellent, well-constructed stroller with many features. It has a large basket that sits under the seat, as well as an adjustable bar that is padded with a wrist-strap that makes it comfortable for long trips. The stroller's recline mechanism is simple to operate and can be tucked away into an overhead compartment of an airline (though you will need to check it at the gate). This model is compatible with Nuna pipa infant car seats and comes with a bag that protects your stroller from damage while you travel. The Babyzen YoYo2 stroller is also extremely light, making it ideal for air travel or quick vacations. It's a breeze to maneuver in airplane aisles and it stays upright when folded, which is helpful if you're trying to juggle it with other luggage. The YoYo2 isn't quite as large as a full-size stroller when it's folded, but it still comes with plenty of features including a convenient oversized under-seat basket, as well as a reclining mechanism that can be operated using just one hand. For many parents who have children, a stroller is an essential piece of equipment for navigating with children.
