Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate

The strollers that are lightweight should be easy to fold and operate. The best travel prams also have a compact fold that easily fits into overhead bins or smaller car boots, and can also accommodate the infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the pram pushchair of many parents traveling thanks to its light design that is gate-check friendly and its compact folding. It has a very wide turning radius and a flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has earned a reputation for being a stylish, feature-packed product that is well-designed. It is extremely light and folds into a compact size for easy transport. The stroller also comes with a front wheel lock that keeps it stable while in use and a fixed canopy to provide adequate protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has an ample storage basket.

The G-Luxe isn't as expensive as the more expensive models in the UPPAbaby line, is surprisingly affordable. It also comes with a few additional features like a cup for the parent holders, as well as a rain cover. It also comes with a handy one step brake system, tall handlebars that make it easier to push parents of any height, and a hand-level folding mechanism that makes it easy to store.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe features a new, robust frame design that is reminiscent of the VISTA and CRUZ strollers, and a brand new front-end single-wheeled design that improves maneuverability, and a bigger canopy, with a larger and more spacious an open sunshade with SPF 50+. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket, and an easy-to-access back-of-seat storage pocket.

While the G-Luxe was a top performer in our noise tests however, it wasn't at the top of the line in terms of performance and durability. It also had the fewest recline positions of all our test models and its rear-facing seats aren't suitable for children younger than two years.

While the UPPAbaby G-Luxe didn't take home our top umbrella stroller award, it was an excellent contender and has many of the features that make our top picks so loved by families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a compact footprint when folded, but is not as compact. Summer Infant carriages 3D Lite weighs 2 pounds less than the G Luxe and folds down to a smaller size. It's an excellent choice for parents looking for a lightweight travel stroller.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 foldable pram delivers on its promises. It's easy to use, lightweight, and elegant. It's designed to blend into city life, and if are planning to travel pushchair with it then it's ideal for that too. It's a bit more expensive than the other choices on this list, but it's among the few that come with a rain cover included.

Five Frenchmen founded BabyZen to develop a stroller that was light and suitable for urban living. The YOYO2 version is their latest. The YOYO2 is an innovative folding and unfolding device that can be done using just one hand. It's also light and compact and can be carried on the shoulder. It's a great choice for babies and has a bassinet. Once your baby is old enough, it can be converted into a seat. You can also include a car seat to create an all-in-one travel system.

The YOYO2 is a great bike with suspension that can handle rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a large storage basket as well as a large zip pocket behind the seat, which is handy for your wallet, phone or snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families. It is compatible with all Babyzen products such as a footmuff, or an enormous shopping basket.

The only drawback to the YOYO2 is that it is not suitable for long walks on cobblestones, or in parks. It's a smooth and easy ride, but it may not be as durable as something designed with more rugged terrain in mind. If you plan to use it only for short city walks or for running around, it'll do the job well. The YOYO2 can easily fit in and out of my Honda Civic's boot and also fits in the footwell. It is also smaller than people's hand luggage, so it is ideal for flying with children.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a compact, lightweight stroller that comes with a variety of features. It can be folded into a compact package to make it easy to carry and store. It's one of the lightest strollers that we test, and is one of the most affordable options. It's not ideal for daily use since it does not have an infant bassinet or car seat but it is great for travel.

It can support a weight limit of 50 pounds, and it is able to accommodate toddlers. The large seat can be placed almost flat to allow for diaper changes or naps. The 5-point harness can be adjusted in three different height positions. There is a large storage basket and a cup holder for parents. There is a window that peeks out on the canopy, which is covered with a fabric flap and an additional pocket that is zippered for smaller items.

This stroller, just like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is able to steer well on smooth surfaces, but gets stuck in cracks when we test it on rough terrain. The wheels are made of plastic and they bounce more than the average of our test group. It has a shorter strap to carry than the majority of the strollers we tested, making it more difficult to carry when you are carrying a heavy bag.

The 3Dlite unfolds and folds in only six seconds. The process involves a few steps to lift the lever at the back of the stroller to open the latch, push down the latch on the right side, and then push the handles down. While these are not the fastest or slowest fold and unfold times of any stroller, they are still pretty quick. It has handles that are quite taller which could pose a problem for shorter people.

The biggest drawback of the Summer Infant 3D Lite is that it does not have an entire sunshade. It has a huge canopy but it does not provide much protection to your child while walking with them in the sun. It is a retractable visor that provides some protection when fully opened but doesn't completely cover the baby's head.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those looking for an easy-to-use, compact stroller. This stroller isn't only lightweight, but it can also fold down to the size of a carry-on luggage! This is a big plus in our books. Plus, it has an amazing sun canopy, and is loaded with additional features like an adult console, travel backpack/storage bag, a single or double shoulder or cross-body straps, a kids' snack tray and a weather cover!

Zoe was created by a family and prides itself on creating products for parents that are as beneficial as they can be as their children develop. This approach shows in their strollers, which includes a range from a basic umbrella model to an expandable twin double with reclined seats. Their strollers for travel are one of the best models available, and offer the most bang for your buck.

We tried the Zoe Traveler to see how it stacks up against the competitors in terms of user-friendliness and usability. We looked at several criteria such as the fold and unfold, storage, maneuverability, and safety. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold. However, it takes some effort using just one hand. It's not as smooth as some of its rivals. It's not a good choice for taller parents, since the handlebars are only 40 inches tall. This can cause discomfort on long rides.

Storage is essential in a stroller, particularly when you're on the move. It's responsible for 25% of our overall score for ease of use. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. There's a small storage bin at the back of the seat that can be used to store a diaper bag as well as maybe a coat or jacket. It's unlikely to accommodate a full day of supplies.

The seats on the Zoe Traveler are comfortable, but they're not the most spacious of our test group. They're averagely cushioned and have two settings for reclining. One hand is required to adjust the recline, but two hands are needed to get it back straight.
