3 in one pushchair. Doona Stroller
The Doona is the only car seat for infants that doubles as a stroller which makes it the best travel pushchair for those who don't need an additional car seat and stroller. It has top safety ratings from Stifting Warentest, ADAC, and OAMTC, plus a five-star rating for ease of use. The Doona is also evaluated for air travel and is certified to meet all US and EU standards.
The Doona has a unique, double pram pushchair-wall structure that allows the body and wheels to be folded into one another. This provides significant safety advantages. The two layers of durable impact-absorbing plastic, as well as the additional layers of EPS, foam, and textiles offer enhanced side-impact protection for your child in the event of an accident. The handle also functions as an effective bar that absorbs the force of an accident and stop your child from reversing backwards and suffering serious injuries.

The Nuna Trvl Stroller is the ideal companion for any excursion whether it's a short weekend getaway, a lengthy journey, or a quick city outing. This lightweight stroller is loaded with convenience and comfort for both you and your child. It also comes with an easy-to-fold design that redefines what it means to be a travel-ready stroller.

The Trvl is incredibly easy to use even with newborn children. 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 to provide an ergonomic grip.
The Trvl has a big easily accessible basket that can hold a large amount of gear (it can fit the diaper bag as well as a small backpack!).

It's easy to lose the ring and handle If you're not careful. This is a minor nuisance but it's something to be aware of if you're going to be taking this stroller on trips.
5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller
This single-child stroller offers a lot for its price. It has an expandable basket as well as a cup holder for parents. It folds in one second. It comes with an adjustable tray for the child and a 5-point safety harness. The downside is that it doesn't recline completely, so it's not the ideal choice for babies (use from 6 mo+).
This is the most affordable stroller in this review. It's light and has an elevated seat that allows your child a good view. It's not as sturdy as other models and is prone to slipping on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones. It has dual front wheels which can be moved to the side when they encounter obstacles.
The 3D Lite has a small storage bin that can accommodate a medium-sized backpack diaper bag and it also has an open window on the canopy. The sunshade is small and might be the smallest of the bunch and does not extend to the back of your child. It does, however, come with a sun visor that can be removed.
There's a cushioned 5-point harness on the seat and the frame is equipped with an adjustable shoulder strap that lets you carry it when folded. It's not quite as compact as the TraveLite, but it still folds quickly.
It has three recline positions, but not all the way down (use from 6 months+). The brakes on the 3D Lite are a little stiffer than those of most competitors and require that both sides be pressed in order to fully engage. Overall the quality of the 3D Lite is decent for its price. It's better than budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus but not as impressive in comparison to some of its more costly rivals.
