Features

This is especially important when you're holding your child's small size.
We were impressed by the egg2's compact fold and its light, sturdy feel. It also has an adjustable reclining mechanism, a spacious basket underneath the seat, and a a great padded handbar. The only downsides are the somewhat stiff leg rest and the limited storage space. The basket and leg rest can fit into a small tote however you'll need remove the cushion in order in order to do this. The seat doesn't come with a large compartment. This can be frustrating when you're trying to juggle multiple bags and a squirmy child.
If you're looking for a affordable single-handle model, take a look at the GB Qbit+ All City. It is similar to the Nuna Trvl and features a one-hand folding feature as well as an accessible leg rest. However it doesn't offer as much storage under the carriage and its canopy is smaller than other models we've tested.
In our tests during our testing, we were pleasantly surprised by the GB Qbit+ All City's smooth ride on most surfaces. It was easy to roll on shag carpet and sidewalks that were paved and also did well in our test of durability. It also offers a variety of options for customization, including a bassinet attachment for a newborn as well as riding boards.
A good choice for parents who frequently travel This lightweight stroller folds in half to fit in an overhead bin on trains or planes. The stroller has a modern and sleek design, with an encasement on the front to store parents' phones and a larger one at the back to store larger bags or weekenders. The cushioned seat has a pleasing shape, and the buckle system is simple to use, even if you have a toddler in the back. It's also one of the few models we tested with a foot brake, which makes it easier to stop when necessary.

Some of these strollers have a strap or carrying case that allows you to sling them on your shoulder. These models are great for long days of exploring on vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transport.
When selecting a single-hand fold stroller, consider features like the size of the basket and the depth of recline and how big you want the canopy. Also consider whether you need a tray for the parents, an adjustable leg rest and how much weight the stroller can hold.
The top choice of GH's for a stroller with one hand is the Nuna Trvl. It is a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to handle, comes with a an incredibly comfortable reclining seat, as well as a large storage bag. It's also beautiful and can be used on any surface and makes smooth turns.
The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another ideal choice for a light and compact stroller. It's also easy to carry. It is similar to the Nuna Trvl but is slightly cheaper and has some extra convenience features. These include an adjustable legrest and an easier recline system that extends almost all the way back.
Other notable strollers that are lightweight include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a place on our top car seat travel systems list) and the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and has a one-handed, self-standing fold. It's a little heavier than other top models, however its front wheel is able to take on bumps more effectively.
The UPPAbaby Miniu comes with a lot of the same functions as the larger prams from the brand, but it folds more compactly and fits in most airplane overhead bins. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is easy to use. It also comes with a great unstructured rear storage bag and a clasp that keeps the stroller folded while in transit.
Weight
This compact stroller can be folded down into a compact, light package that can easily fit in overhead bins of airlines, making it ideal for air travel. It also has a large storage bag and child tray. While it does have some drawbacks, such as its limited recline (it is able to only go to a slight recline position) and instructions that use pictures rather than words, it's a great option for families who require a simple stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry on short trips.
The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is especially well-suited for travelers. It is super-light (13.7 pounds), has a small and compact fold that allows it to be easily tucked into airplane aisles and overhead storage bins, and offers a variety of features at a reasonable price. It's compatible with many car seat brands and is among the lightest strollers for travel on the market.
However, it's not the easiest to maneuver. Its small base and limited undercarriage storage may limit its usefulness for longer trips or running errands. It is not the smoothest on all terrains and is prone to rock on bumps. The newer version has a more comfortable and padded seat, but is still not as high-end.
In general, we favor single-handed strollers with brakes that are easy to lock and a spacious undercarriage that can be used for storage. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for greater comfort as well as a cup holder that is convenient for parents and a footbrake that is easy to use.
Our top picks are based on extensive testing performed by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test the strollers both in our New York City laboratory and on the streets of the city. We also donate eight strollers we test to local families in need.
