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 chic rectangle shape and the wheels are easier to turn than other styles. The stroller also has a large storage area under the seat, as well as a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry when you're not pushing it. But the canopy adjuster can make a lot of noise, which can wake a sleepy toddler. 1. Contours Itsy A compact stroller that is also a compact stroller, the Contours Itsy offers lots of features for its tiny size. The back basket under the seat is spring loaded, which means you can pull it down to store bags or diapers in, and it will open up to secure the contents. It comes with a child's accessory holder as well as an adjustable reclined seat pad. This is more than you would see on a typical light stroller. It also has a canopy that can be closed and opened to get the level of sun protection you desire. The handlebars are adjustable in height for a comfortable fit in four different positions. We weren't too impressed by its performance on rough terrain. We felt the wheels and suspension didn't do a very good job of absorbing bumps and shocks. It's a great stroller for travel since it arrives in the box fully assembled and requires only a few steps to make it set to use. The seat can be moved forward and back to adjust the recline. It's a bit flat. It's easy to fold and unfold, because of two buttons on the frame. It also fits into an extremely convenient bag for carrying when not in use. It's actually one of the smallest strollers that we tested, and it can meet the requirements of many airlines for gate-checking or storage in the cabin on planes. Just be sure to check with your airline before you travel because rules can differ.

Kolcraft Cloud Plus This is a great choice for those who are looking for a stroller that is light and easy to carry. It comes with everything parents want in a stroller. This includes all-terrain wheels and front suspension for an easy ride. It is also extremely lightweight, weighing less than 12 pounds. It folds by one hand, and then stand up on its own. It has two cups holders on each tray to accommodate the parent and child. Its quality, though it is a bit on the low side and it did not perform well in our maneuverability tests. It also features a flexible frame that makes pushing it across rough terrain seem like lifting a huge weight. This might be fine when you use the stroller on paved streets, but for the majority people, it's going to not provide a comfortable experience. Cloud Plus Cloud Plus has a three-tier extended canopy and a peek-a-boo window to provide additional sun protection. The seat is multi-position and can accommodate children weighing up to 50 pounds and features five points of safety restraint. This is a great option for older toddlers who have outgrown their car seats for infants. It has a one-step and compact folding mechanism and can be folded with just a touch of a button. It also features a convenient, foot-activated break that is easy to install and release. However, the handle is lower than other strollers we looked at and some parents may find it uncomfortable for long periods of time. It does have an adjustable handle lock that keeps it in place while open however. This is an excellent feature if you intend to use the stroller on uneven or rough terrain. 3. Munchkin Sparrow The Munchkin Sparrow stroller is the ideal travel stroller for parents who are constantly on the move. This ultra-compact stroller is easy to fold down and up and can easily fit in overhead compartments on planes and in trunks at the amusement park (no worries about parking fees). It also comes with an easy-zip carrying bag that can be easily stored. It can be used from birth with the infant car seat adapter, and provides a decent amount of shade thanks to its canopy (though not as much as the Nuna TRVL or Uppababy Minu V2). The only drawback for parents who have children is that they consider the look cheap and utilitarian. The BabyZen Yoyo+ stroller is more expensive than other light single strollers. It was designed specifically for urban living and luxe travel. It's one of the smallest strollers to fold (and includes a convenient carry case), and it offers plenty of storage space, including a cup holder. The seat is comfortable for the child and the adult and reclines to a near-flat position. This is the only stroller that can be used by infants using the car seat adapter. The handlebar cannot be adjusted and could be an issue for some parents who are short. The UPPAbaby Minu V2 may not be the lightest stroller, but it comes with a number of great features to make traveling with children easier. The spacious seat reclines into a flat position and has extra padding to make those airplane napping sessions more comfortable. The canopy that extends can provide good sun protection, while the parent tray has plenty of storage. It also has an adjustable handle that doubles as the footrest when folded. This footrest, however seems vulnerable to damage from baggage handlers. 4. Uppababy Minu V2 Uppababy's Minu V2 is a premium stroller that isn't compromising on quality or design. Its compact design allows it to easily navigate through tight spaces and narrow sidewalks, but its sturdy structure allows it to withstand rough terrain without compromising the comfort of your child. The spring-action suspension at the rear and front makes for an even more comfortable ride and its durable materials ensure it can withstand everyday wear and tear. It can also be expanded to accommodate other accessories like a bassinet and infant car seat. In our tests, the Minu was a breeze to fold and maneuver even with a baby in hand. Its squat almost square fold that folds into thirds, is among the most simple folds we've seen and allows it to be tucked away in overhead compartments of planes or public transportation. It comes with a single-action color-coded brake that is simple to use. The seat has a multi-position recline and one-handed adjustable leg rest, which makes it easy to find the right position for your child. The UPF 50+ hood came down quite a bit and was perfect for shielding Cora's eyes from the sun (though not quite as low as other strollers). The medium-sized mesh peekaboo window is magnetically attached to the canopy and shuts without the use of noisy Velcro. At less than 15 pounds at just under 15 pounds, the Minu is easy to carry using its built-in carry handle and shoulder strap. It can also be stored in the trunk of your vehicle. It comes with a storage bag and access to Uppababy's TravelSafe program which gives two years to the manufacturer's warranty and provides replacements for any items damaged in the course of air travel. 5. Joovy Aire Joovy is an established stroller brand offers a variety of models. This light model is a good option for parents who want a sturdy stroller that can transport kids around, offers ample storage, is fairly easy to maneuver and doesn't require an engineering degree to fold. This model isn't suited for those who need an additional stroller or car seat compatible model. It won't work with infant car seats, and your children will need to be able to sit on their own before they can use this stroller from the first day. This stroller has some solid features and a price. It scored higher on our maneuverability test than other models with similar specs. It's an excellent choice for smooth surfaces. It also has a nice canopy and plenty of storage, including a spacious parent tray. The front wheel suspension is a little stiff, and the handlebar is a bit smaller than normal, however it provides a comfortable ride for adults. If you have twins, or two kids of different in age, you might consider a side-by-side stroller to be the best choice to take them around. Our top pick is the Joovy Twin Groove, which comes with a wide range of features, and has a slim footprint that can be used where most other side-by-side options can't. It has a big canopy that has a peek-aboo view and plenty of storage. It's a bit heavier than other side-bysides but it has a good weight capacity and can handle most children up to 50 pounds. You can also add an infant bassinet to the front of the stroller to accommodate newborns. If you want a more luxurious version this stroller the Caboose RS Sit and Stand Stroller is a great alternative. top single strollers 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.
