Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate
Lightweight strollers should be easy to fold and easy to use. The best travel prams for newborns also come with a compact fold that easily fits into overhead bins or smaller car boots, and can even accommodate the infant car seat.
The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the baby stroller of many parents who are on the move, thanks to its lightweight design that is gate-check-friendly as well as its compact folding. It also has a fantastic turn radius and a near-flat recline.
UPPAbaby G-Luxe
With a track record of well-designed products that are elegant and feature-packed, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is an excellent choice for parents who want to travel. The stroller is incredibly light and folds to an extremely compact size for transport. It also features a convenient front wheel lock that helps keep the stroller in place during use, and a fixed canopy that provides plenty of protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has an excellent storage basket that can hold a fair amount of gear.
The G-Luxe, in contrast to the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby range, is quite affordable. It also comes with a few extras like a cup for the parent holder, and raincover. It also comes with a handy one-step brake system with handles that are tall to make it easier for parents of all heights to push, and a user-friendly hand-level folding process which makes it easy to carry the stroller.
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe comes with a modern, sturdy frame that is reminiscent of the VISTA and CRUZ strollers. It also has a new, single-wheeled front-end design that increases maneuverability and a larger canopy that has an open sunshade that provides SPF 50plus protection. It also has a convenient storage basket and a simple-to-access back-of-seat storage space.
While the G-Luxe scored well in our noise testing however, it wasn't at the top of the class in terms of performance or durability. It also had the least number of recline positions when compared to other test models and its rear-facing seat is not suitable for children under two years of age.
While the UPPAbaby G-Luxe didn't win our best umbrella foldable stroller award, it is an excellent contender and has many of the features that make our winners so popular with families. It weighs 16 lbs and has a small footprint when folded, but it is not as compact as the other models we evaluated. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 lbs lighter than the G-Luxe and folds down to an even smaller size, making it an excellent choice for those who want a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to move.
BabyZen Yoyo2
The BabyZen Yoyo2 is a pram that delivers as it says on the tin. It's user-friendly and light weight, and looks stylish. It is designed to fit in with urban life but it can also be used to travel. It's more expensive than other options however it comes with a raincover.
Five Frenchmen founded BabyZen with the aim of creating a lightweight stroller for urban living. The YOYO2 is their most recent version. The YOYO2 is an innovative folding and unfolding device that is able to be folded and unfolded with just one hand. It is also very light and compact and can be carried on your shoulder. It is able to be used from the moment of birth and has an infant bassinet that can be used for newborns. When your baby is old enough to go, it can be transformed into a seat. You can also add a car seat to make it a complete travel Pram set-up.
The YOYO2 is a great bicycle with a suspension system that can handle rough terrain and is easy to push. It has a big storage basket and a good prams-sized zip pocket behind the seat that's handy for your phone, wallet or snacks. It can be connected with other YOYOs for larger families and it's compatible with all Babyzen accessories, including the footmuff and the large shopping bag.
The only downside of the YOYO2 is that it's not suitable for long walks on cobblestones or in parks. It is a smooth ride, but it may not be as durable as something designed for more rocky terrain. However, if you intend to use it for short city walks or to run errands then it should serve you perfectly well. The YOYO2 is simple to get into and out of the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit into the footwell too. It's also smaller than people's hand luggage making it perfect for flying with a child.
Summer Infant 3D Lite
The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a lightweight, convenient stroller that comes with a variety of features. It folds into a compact size making it easy to transport and store. It is the lightest stroller we tested and one of the best budget alternatives available. It is not suitable for daily use since it does not have a bassinet, or a car seat however it is perfect for travel.
It can be used to hold toddlers easily. The seat is placed almost flat to accommodate diaper changes or naps. The 5-point harness can be adjusted in three different height positions. The storage basket is large and there is an extra cup holder in the back for parents to use. The canopy features an open window with a fabric-covered peekaboo and a pocket with a zipper to store smaller items.
Like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe This stroller is able to steer very smoothly on smooth surfaces, but was stuck in cracks during our rough terrain testing. The wheels are made of plastic and vibrate more than the average of our test group. It has a smaller carrying strap than most of the strollers we tested, making it harder to carry when you're carrying a large bag.
The 3Dlite unfolds and folds down in only six seconds. The process involves a few steps that include raising the lever in the back center of the stroller to release the latch, push down the latch on the right side and then push the handles downwards. While these aren't the fastest or most efficient times for folding and unfolding a stroller they're still fairly quick. It has handles that are a bit taller which could pose a problem for those who are shorter.
The Summer Infant 3D Lite has a major drawback: it doesn't have a sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy but it doesn't provide any protection for your child if you're walking facing the sun. It does have an adjustable sun visor that does offer some protection when fully open, but it will not completely cover your child's head. completely.
Zoe Traveler
The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those looking for an easy-to-use, compact stroller. This little stroller is not only lightweight, but it also folds down to the size of a carry-on bag! This is a huge plus in our books. It also includes a sun canopy, a parent console and a variety of extras including the ability to carry a backpack for travel and cross-body or single shoulder straps, a kid's snack tray and a weather cover.
Zoe began as a family-owned company and they pride themselves on creating products that offer parents with the most value as their children develop. This is evident in their line of strollers, which includes a range of umbrellas ranging from a basic model to an expandable twin double with reclining seats. Their travel strollers are also some of the best alternatives available, and they offer the most bang for your buck.
We tested the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it with the competition on the basis of its functionality and user-friendliness. We examined a variety of criteria that included the fold and unfold feature, storage, maneuverability, and safety. We found that this stroller is easy to fold and unfold, though it requires a bit of effort with one hand. It's not as smooth a ride like some of the other models. It's not the best choice for taller parents, because the handlebars are just 40 inches tall. This can cause discomfort on long journeys.
Storage is essential in a stroller, particularly when you're traveling. This is a factor that accounts for 25% of the overall score. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. A small bin can be found in the back seat. It can accommodate the diaper bag, and perhaps coat or jacket. It's not likely to hold an entire day's worth of items.
The seats on the Zoe Traveler are comfortable, however, they're not the best 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.
