Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate

Lightweight strollers need to be quick to fold and easy to use. The best travel strollers strollers fold compactly to fit into overhead bins as well as smaller car boot spaces, and can accommodate a car seat for an infant.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the triple pram that parents prefer to use for their children on the go, thanks to its super-lightweight design that's gate-check friendly and its compact fold. It has a fantastic turning radius, and a flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

With a track record of intuitively designed products that are elegant and feature-packed, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a fantastic choice for parents who wish to travel. It is extremely lightweight and folds down to an extremely compact size for transport. It also features a convenient front wheel lock that keeps the stroller stable when in use and a fixed canopy that gives plenty of protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has a great storage basket that can hold quite a lot of equipment.

The G-Luxe, unlike the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby range, is quite affordable. It also comes with a few additional features like a cup for the parent for storage, and raincover. It also comes with a convenient brake system that is one step, tall handles that 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 has a new, robust frame that mimics the VISTA & CRUZ strollers. It also features a brand new front-end with a single-wheeled design that makes it easier to maneuver, and a larger canopy that has an open sunshade that provides SPF 50plus protection. It also comes with a huge storage basket and a back pocket that is easy to access.

While the G-Luxe was a top performer in our noise tests however, it wasn't at the top of the class in terms of performance or durability. It also had the smallest number of recline positions when compared to other test models, and its rear-facing seat is not recommended for children under two years old.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close rival however, it did not take home the award for best travel pushchair umbrella stroller. It has many of the features that make the top contenders so popular among families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a small footprint when folded, but it is not as compact as the G-Luxe. Summer Infant 3D Lite weighs 2 lbs less than G Luxe and folds down to the size of a smaller. It's a great choice for those looking for a lightweight, compact travel stroller.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 triple pram delivers on its promises. It's easy to use, light, and stylish. It's designed to blend into city life, and if are planning to travel with it, it's perfect for that too. It's more expensive than some of the other options on this list however it's one of the few that have a rain cover.

Five Frenchmen founded BabyZen with the aim of creating a light stroller designed for urban use. The YOYO2 version is their latest. The YOYO2 has a very unique folding and unfolding mechanism that can be done using just one hand. It's also lightweight and compact, and it can even be carried on the shoulder. It's a great choice for babies and has an infant bassinet. When your baby is old enough to go, it can be transformed into an infant seat. You can also add a car seat to create a complete travel set-up.

The YOYO2 is a great bike with suspension that can take on rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a huge storage basket, and a zip pocket that is large enough to fit your phone, wallet or snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families. It's compatible with all Babyzen products, including a footmuff or an enormous shopping basket.

The only downside to the YOYO2 is that it's not ideal for long walks in the park or on cobblestones. It's a very smooth ride, but it may not be as sturdy as a vehicle designed with rugged terrain in mind. If you plan to use it only for short city walks or to run some errands, it will be able to do the job. The YOYO2 is easy to take in and out from the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit in the footwell, too. It's also smaller than the majority of people's hand luggage so it's perfect for flying with a baby.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is a light, feature-rich and compact stroller that folds into an extremely compact package for transport and storage. It is the lightest stroller that we tested and one of the best budget alternatives available. It isn't suitable for daily use because it does not have an infant bassinet or car seat however it is perfect for travel.

It can accommodate a toddler easily. The seat is flat for napping or changing diapers and the 5-point harness adjusts to three height positions as your child grows. The storage basket is large and there is an extra cup holder in the back for parents to use. There's a peekaboo window on the canopy that is covered by the flap of fabric, and an extra zippered pocket for smaller items.

Like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe the stroller also steers very well on smooth surfaces but it got stuck in cracks during our rough terrain testing. The wheels are made of plastic and they vibrate more than average for our test group. It also has a shorter strap for carrying than most of our test strollers so it's more difficult to carry when you're carrying a large bag or a sleeping baby.

The 3Dlite folds in four seconds and is then folded in just six. The process involves a few steps to lift the lever at the back center of the stroller to release the latch, then push down the latch on the right side and then push the handles downwards. While they aren't the fastest or most slow fold and unfold times of any stroller, they are nevertheless fairly quick. It has handles that are quite taller which could pose a problem for those who are shorter.

The biggest disadvantage of the Summer Infant 3D Lite is that it doesn't have a full sunshade. It has a huge canopy, but it does not provide much protection to your child when walking with them in the sun. It is a retractable visor that offers some protection when fully open, but does not cover the baby's head.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those looking for lightweight, compact strollers. This stroller isn't just light, but it folds up to the size and shape of a carry on suitcase! This is a major plus in our book. It also includes a sun canopy, a parent console and various other accessories like the ability to carry a backpack for travel, cross-body or single shoulder straps, a kids' snack tray, and an umbrella for the weather.

Zoe was started by a couple and is a firm that believes in creating products for parents that are as beneficial as they can be as their children grow. This approach shows in their line of strollers, which range from a basic umbrella model to an expandable twin double with reclined seats. Travel strollers from this brand are some of the best available and offer the best travel stroller value for money.

We tried the Zoe Traveler to see how it compares to the competitors in terms of user-friendliness and performance. We looked at a variety of factors that included the fold and unfold, storage, maneuverability, and safety. We found this stroller to be easy to fold and unfold, but it requires a bit of effort with one hand. It's also not as smooth as some of its rivals. It's not a good choice for taller parents because the handlebars are just 40 inches high. This could make it uncomfortable on long journeys.

Storage is crucial in a stroller, especially when you're traveling. This factor accounts for 25 percent of the overall score. The Zoe Traveler scored 7 out of 10. There's a small storage bin at the back of the seat that can hold a diaper bag and maybe a coat or jacket. But it's not likely to fit a full day's worth of supplies.

The seats on the Zoe Traveler are comfortable, but they're not the most spacious of our test group. They have average padding and two recline settings. One hand is needed to adjust the recline, however two hands are needed to get it back straight.
