4. Trvl Stroller

Its legs are also placed on the longer side to provide more stability and the stroller was able to roll smoothly over all surfaces tested. It does have one small drawback: the fold is a bit tricky.

It's a minor issue, but something to consider in the event of taking this stroller on trips.
5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller
This stroller has a lot to offer for a single-child model. It has a quick one-second fold and an expandable basket that includes a parent cup holder. It also has a pivoting child's tray and five-point harness. The downside is that it's not able to recline completely, so it's not the ideal choice for babies (use from 6 mo+).
This is the most affordable in this review. It's light and has high seats that give your toddler a nice view. It's not as sturdy as the more expensive models and may struggle on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones. It has two front wheels that can be turned 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 an open window in the canopy. Its sunshade could be the one with the smallest size and does not extend beyond your child's back. It does, however, have a sun visor which is able to pop out.
The seat comes with a 5-point harness that is cushioned and the frame has an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it folded. It's not as compact as the TraveLite but it still folds very quickly.
It comes with three recline settings, but not all the way down (use after 6 months or more). The brakes are more rigid than the competition and require both sides to be pressed for full engagement of the brakes. 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 as some of the more expensive competitors.
