15 Up-And-Coming Travel Stroller Bloggers You Need To See

A Compact Travel Stroller Should Be Easy to Carry

You will require a compact stroller that can be folded up into a small package. It should be lightweight, come with an automobile seat-compatible design, and be able to fit in overhead airline bins.

This streamlined stroller from UPPAbaby is a perfect fit. It folds up easily and has a padded strap for carrying. It also fits in the overhead compartments of planes. It also comes with an easy, flat recline and smooth movement.

Easy to Assemble

When you're strolling through the airport on your way to the gate, or navigating an unfamiliar city with your child in tow, traveling is stressful enough without having to worry about how to pack and transport everything. We believe that a quality travel stroller should be simple to fold, assemble and transport. This is exactly what this lightweight Kolcraft model provides. This lightweight, compact stroller is easy to open and close by simply pressing two buttons on the handleand all while standing straight (no need to lean back to do it). It fits in the overhead bins on many planes, and comes with a bag that you can carry over your shoulders when you're out and out and about.

This stroller is light and the ideal choice for traveling. It rolled across all kinds of terrain and was maneuverable. It has a huge sun canopy with a mesh segment that can be closed and opened to provide your child with plenty of coverage and visibility. It also includes an adjustable leg rest that is easily adjustable and padded shoulder straps. It also fits on most Nuna PIPA car seats (just click and you're finished) and comes with a large storage bag that can hold many of your essentials when you're on the move.

The ultra-compact stroller from Babyzen is a favorite of parents who live in cities and/or love to travel. It comes in a box fully assembled and just as simple to open with two little buttons on the handle. It folds back with the same ease and can be tucked away in the carry bag. The only issue is that it could be a bit too big for some overhead bins used by airlines, and we've seen reports of the handles feeling somewhat flimsy and some parents found it unsettling. It's a great option for those who want a lightweight, compact travel stroller. We wish it had a parent pocket to hold things like dollar bills to buy ice cream!

Easy to Fold

As the name implies the strollers designed for travel are made to be compact. They fold smaller than everyday strollers and have fewer accessories like cup holders or a large storage basket. However, they will function well enough for day-to-day use, and are easy to carry or stow away. You should consider a stroller that meets your needs if you plan to travel often with your child.

For instance, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is easy to fold and can be tucked away in overhead bins. It is also easy to maneuver and pram roll on rough terrain. The UPPAbaby also has some nice features, like a deep recline, as well as an additional sun canopy that gives your child a lot of protection. The only drawback to the UPPAbaby is that it's a little difficult to fold. You might need to be careful with your hands to get it right.

The Babyzen YOYO2 is another option. It folds down to a tiny size and opens with just one hand. It doesn't have as much storage space as other travel strollers but it comes with some attractive features, like a comfortable carry strap, a large undercarriage basket, and an extended canopy. It's our most expensive travel stroller, but it's also the most luxurious.

The Cybex Libelle 2 is another travel stroller with an ultra-small fold that's easy to unroll. It's heavier than other travel strollers but still light enough and compact enough to make a great option for city living and luxury travel. It also comes with a number of nice touches, including the cup holder that can fit a standard-size cup, a convenient carry handle and an extendable canopy that's sized to protect your child from the sun.

The UPPAbaby Minu is an excellent option for those who have the brand's Vista or Cruz strollers and are looking for a lighter, more compact version. It weighs less than the original Minu however it's a bit heavy for a travel stroller. It's got plenty of other cool features, like an ample storage basket, a deep recline and cheap Prams an extended sun canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection.

Easy to carry

The ease with folding your stroller for travel will make a a big difference in the way it is possible to navigate an airport that is crowded or squeeze onto a crowded bus. When folded, a good stroller can easily fit into your trunk or overhead bin with some controlled movements. It should also stand up on its own. You should be able to lift it up by the handle, attach a carrying strap or slide it into the storage bag included to make it easier to transport it.

If you're planning to use your stroller in an airplane ensure that it's approved by the airline or that it will fit in the overhead bins. The International Air Transport Association recommends that carry-on luggage not be larger than 22 x 18 10 inches, which means that many of our top picks--including the ultra-lightweight, $100+ Nuna TRVL--can fit up there (though some of them will require you to gate check them). The TRVL is so light that you can carry it as a handbag. It has a padded shoulder strap and a bumper bar which can double as handles.

The TRVL is also a great option for parents who are always on the move, as it works with all Nuna Pipa baby car seats, strollers without adapters. Our experts love the simple two-position recline mechanism as well as the no-rethread safety harness, which is made to grow with your baby. It's also lighter than other travel strollers which makes it an ideal option for families that travel frequently.

Other great features on this compact travel stroller include a spring-loaded back-of-the-underseat basket that's big enough for a backpack, diaper bag, or purse, and a flat, open sun canopy that offers some coverage and blockage (though it's not as large as the ones on some of our other top picks). It's also one of the lightest strollers we tested--but be aware that although the majority of airlines allow you to gate check a large stroller, they may require you to take the stroller in a folded form through security and out of the airplane cabin. If this is the case, think about purchasing a travel bag to shield it from damage caused by baggage handlers.

Easy to store

A compact travel stroller is great for frequent travelers because it doesn't require a full-size stroller trunk or take up a lot of space in your car or hotel room. Some models are so small that they can be easily stored in the overhead bin of an airplane and others are so light that they don't add much weight to carry-on luggage. They're also easy to maneuver through crowded airports and on packed city sidewalks.

If you're a frequent traveler it's worth investing in one of the top travel strollers we've tested. The Silver Cross Jet 4 is a top-quality, well-constructed stroller with a number of features. It has a large basket under the seat and an adjustable bar that is padded with a wrist strap which makes it ideal for long-distance trips. The reclining mechanism is simple and the stroller fits into an airline's overhead bin (though you'll need to check the gate). This model is compatible starting at birth with the Nuna Pipa infant car seat and comes with an included carry bag that includes insurance against the possibility of damage to your stroller while traveling.

The Babyzen YoYo2 stroller is also a super-lightweight model, perfect for short getaways. It's easy to maneuver through plane aisles and remains upright when folded. This is a great feature if you are trying to carry the stroller around with other luggage. The YoYo2 isn't as large as a full-size stroller when folded, but it still comes with plenty of features including a convenient oversized under-seat basket as well as a recline mechanism that can be operated by hand.

For many parents who have children, a stroller is a must-have piece of gear for getting around with kids. A compact stroller of good quality will give you peace-of-mind when traveling, and will allow you to navigate busy streets and public transportation effortlessly. If you're shopping for an all-new stroller, think about your family's needs and preferences to determine which features are most important for you. Then, take a look at our list of top picks to choose the perfect stroller for your next family adventure. The Good Housekeeping Institute has been testing products for over a century, and this guide is based on their expert research.

They also spoke with consumer testers to get additional feedback.
