3. Doona foldable stroller
The Doona is the only infant car seat that can be used as a stroller, which makes it the best travel pushchair for those who don't need a separate car seat and stroller. It has top safety ratings from Stifting Warentest, ADAC, and OAMTC and five stars for its the ease of use. The Doona is also assessed for air travel and is certified to meet all US and EU standards.
The Doona has a unique, double-wall structure which allows the body and wheels to fold in one another. This has significant advantages in terms of safety. The two layers of impact-absorbing plastic and additional layers of foam, EPS and textiles offer enhanced side-impact protection for your child in the event of an accident. The handle also acts as a reliable bar that can absorb the force of an accident, and prevent your child from reversing backwards and sustaining serious injuries.
To release the wheels of the Doona there's a lever located at the back of the seat that you can lift up. This triggers a small bump that doesn't wake your baby. You can also tuck in the wheels by lifting the lever.
The Doona is compatible with many cars and public transport making it an ideal travel pushchair. The Doona is designed to be able to pass through narrow aisles in airlines and is approved for travel on air. It can be taken with you everywhere even to foreign countries. It's also easy to put up without the base which is a major benefit if you're planning to rent the car for your trip or don't have space for a separate base at home.
4. Trvl Stroller
The Nuna Trvl Stroller is the perfect companion for any trip whether it's a simple weekend getaway, a long-distance trip, or a short city trip. This lightweight stroller is a powerful tool that offers premium comfort for your child as well as convenience for you, including a super compact strollers self-fold that redefines what is considered to be travel prepared.
Its movable front and rear wheel suspensions are perfect to navigate bumpy terrain while the adjustable calf support raises to transform the seat into a carriage to allow your child to comfortably ride. The specially designed canopy offers UPF 50+ sun protection, Prams For Newborns as well as a peek-a-boo window. And if you're a frequent traveler, you'll be pleased to know that this my babiie stroller fits in the overhead bins of many airlines (please inquire with your airline to be sure! ).
The Trvl is extremely simple to use, even with a newborn. It is simple to connect the PIPA Series infant car seats to the belly bar by using its magnetic MagneTech snap buckle. The Trvl features a leatherette-accented handle and pushbar for an ergonomic grip.
The Trvl has a big easily accessible basket that can hold a large amount of gear (it fits a diaper bag and a small backpack!). The legs of the stroller are wider for more stability and it is able to roll over all surfaces. The fold is a bit tricky. It's easy to lose the ring and handle in the event of a mishap. This is a minor nuisance however, it is something to think about if you're going to be using this stroller for trips.
5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller
This single-child stroller offers plenty for the price. It is quick to fold and an expandable basket that has cup holders for parents. It comes with an adjustable tray for the child and a 5-point safety harness. Its drawback is that it doesn't fully recline, making it not the best choice for babies (use starting at 6 months and up).
This is the cheapest stroller we've reviewed. It's lightweight and has high seats that give your child a good view. It's not as durable as the more expensive models however, and isn't able to handle uneven surfaces like cobblestones. It also has two front wheels that can be moved to the side when they encounter obstacles.
The 3D Lite has a small storage bin that is able to hold a moderate-sized backpack diaper bag and it has a peek-a-boo window on the canopy. The sunshade is small and could be the smallest and doesn't extend beyond the back of your child's. It does, however, have a sun visor which is able to pop out.
The seat comes with a five-point harness that is padded and the frame comes with an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it folded. It's not as compact as the TraveLite but it folds quickly.
It comes with three recline settings however, not all the way down (use after 6 months or more). The brakes on the 3D Lite are a little more rigid than the brakes of many competitors and require that both sides be pressed in order to fully engage. Overall, 3D Lite's performance is excellent for the price. It's superior to budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus but not as impressive as some of the more costly competitors.
