Features
Pick the
best lightweight single stroller stroller for your trip, whether you're on vacation or traveling for business. Take into consideration the weight and age of your child, as well features such as a deep recline, ample storage space, and protection from the weather. You'll also want to choose one that is easy to fold and unfold using one hand, particularly when you're holding a child.
The egg2 was a fantastic choice for us because of its compact fold, light weight and sturdy feel. It also comes with an adjustable recline mechanism, a large basket under the seat, and the handbar is extremely comfortable. The only drawbacks are the stiff leg rest and a limited amount of storage space. The leg rest and basket can fit into a small tote but you'll need remove the seat cushion to access it. The seat doesn't have a large pocket. This can be a hassle when you're trying to balance multiple bags and a squirmy child.
If you're looking for a affordable single-handle model, check out the GB Qbit+ All City. It's akin to the Nuna Trvl with its one-hand folding feature and accessible leg rest. It does not have the same amount of storage under the carriage as some other models and its canopy is smaller.
During our testing, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth ride over most surfaces. It rolled easily over paved sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel and held up well during our tests of durability. It also comes with a range of options for customization, including a newborn's bassinet attachment as well as the rider board.
The stroller is light and can be folded in half to fit into the overhead bin of a plane or train. Its sleek design, with small pockets on the front for a parent's cell phone and an ample back pocket for larger bags for weekender bags or totes. The cushioned seat has a nice shape, and the buckle system is simple to use, even with a toddler is in tow. It's also one of the few models we have tested equipped with a foot brake which makes it easier to stop when needed.
Design
If you're planning to use a stroller on the go, choose a model that can be easily folded and carried around with other luggage. Some of these strollers also come with a carry case or strap that lets you sling them over your shoulder. These strollers are ideal for long days of sightseeing during vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transportation.
Think about features like the size of the basket and the canopy when selecting a single-hand stroller that folds. Think about whether you need a tray for the parents or an adjustable legrest and how much weight the stroller can support.
The top choice of GH's for a stroller that can be operated by one hand is the Nuna Trvl. It's a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to maneuver, has an incredibly recline and a large storage basket. It looks great and is easy to maneuver and can make sharp turns.
The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another excellent option for a light and compact stroller. It's also simple to carry. It's akin to the Nuna Trvl however it's slightly cheaper, and it has a few extra convenience features, like an adjustable leg rest and a simpler reclining system that extends all the way back.
Other strollers that are lightweight and worth to mention are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and comes with a one-handed, self-standing fold. It's a little heavier than the other top models, but its front wheel is able to be able to absorb bumps better.
The UPPAbaby Mini has many of the same features as larger prams of the brand, but it folds more compactly. It can be tucked away in most overhead bins on planes. 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 allows it to fold while in the transport.
Weight
This compact stroller folds into a very compact, lightweight bag that fits in airline overhead bins, making it perfect for travel. It also comes with a large storage basket and child tray. There are some downsides, such as the restricted recline (it can only be lowered down to a slightly inclined angle) and directions in pictures instead of words. However it is an excellent option for families looking for a simple, lightweight stroller.
The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is especially well-suited for families traveling. It's light (13.7 pounds) and features a tiny folded design that makes it easy to squeeze into the aisles of airplanes and overhead bins, and comes with decent features for the price. It's compatible with numerous car seat brands, and is one of the lightest strollers on the market.
However, it's not the most user-friendly. It has a small base and limited undercarriage storage capacity, which can limit its utility for longer journeys or errands. It's not the most smooth rider on the majority of terrain, and it is prone to roll on bumps. The most recent version comes with an improved seat and better padding, however, it's not as premium as the original.
In general, we recommend
cheap single pushchair-handed strollers with brakes that are easy to lock, and a large undercarriage for storage. We also recommend a cushioned seat and harness to ensure comfort and cups holder that is convenient for parents and a footbrake that is easy 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 in our New York City laboratory and on city streets. We also donate eight strollers that we review to local families who are in need.

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the top
single infant stroller-hand folding strollers available on the market. It can be folded in four seconds using just one hand. However, it takes a few seconds to click the stroller into position. Its narrow frame means it fits nicely in overhead bins and is able to be rolled like a suitcase down 19-inch aisles of airplanes. The canopy provides ample protection from the sun, and the fabric is tough. There are two cup holders, and a tray for the parent.
Another excellent single-hand fold stroller is the Uppababy Cruz. The stroller has a large seat with a deep reclining position and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design allows it to be maneuvered even on rough surfaces. The front wheels are designed for India’s bumpy roads and it has an adjustable brake with padding attached to it. The only drawback is that the Cruz does not have a carrying strap, so it's not ideal for long walks.
The Mountain Buggy Nano is a ideal choice for those looking for a stroller with a
cheap single buggy hand that is also compact and light. It is a bit heavier than other options, but still weighs under 16 pounds. It is able to fit into the overhead compartments of most planes. The storage basket is big enough to hold diaper bags and the seat comes with two reclining positions.
The Quick is a excellent travel stroller that provides premium features in a lightweight and compact 12.8-lb design.
