How to Choose a Travel Stroller

Consider a lightweight, foldable stroller if you travel often or walk in the park often. They fold easily, and they fit into trunks buses, trains, and planes.

The Nuna Trvl packs down to a small size and can be tucked away in the overhead bins of most airplanes. It's also simple to assemble and comes with amazing features, like a simple, adjustable reclining seat.

Easy to Assemble

Like the name suggests, this stroller was designed to be simple to put together and use. The frame opens and folds in just one hand. The seat can recline to two different positions. The bumper bar is simple to remove and replace, and the handlebar feels and looks good. However, the absence of storage space means parents will have to carry a huge diaper bag or carefully drape it over the handle (against the advice of a professional).

This lightweight travel stroller rolls effortlessly across any surface, even on rough sidewalks. It also makes crisp turns. It has larger foam-filled wheels than other models we've tested that give it a little more bounce and a bit more stability. Some parents have complained that the tires are thin.

In its compact size, the stroller fits into the overhead bins of the majority of aircrafts and weighs less than 13 pounds. Its simple design means that it has few additional features, but is still an ideal choice for frequent travelers. It's important to remember, however, that strollers that fold up are considered "carry-on" baggage and could require checking when your airline has strict baggage restrictions.

If you're a frequent traveler, it may make sense to invest in a stroller with more sophisticated features and a higher cost. These strollers that are more expensive typically have more storage options including large underseat bins, and are easier to put together and fold. Many of these strollers also have adjustable harnesses, and other safety features that you might not see on cheaper models. Make sure to check with your airline to see what their policies are on strollers, and follow them to the letter. It is also crucial to read your stroller's manual, especially any sections pertaining to safety. Make sure you know how to properly use the straps and ensure they are secured. Be sure to be on the lookout for your child and only use the stroller when walking at a safe pace. This will reduce the chance of injury in case your stroller accidentally tips over or veers.

Easy to Fold

A good travel stroller is one that folds into a compact, manageable package. Certain models can do this well, such as the light JOOVY TRVL, which folded in just four seconds during our tests and can stand up in its collapsed state. This makes it simple to keep in a closet or trunk and to carry on plane's overhead bins.

The UPPAbaby MINU V2 travel stroller is a similar lightweight, easy-to fold stroller. It weighs less than 17 pounds and has an underseat basket large enough that can hold a large backpack or diaper bag. The footrest that can be reversible doubles as a handle when the stroller is folded into its position. This feature was a huge hit during our testing but unfortunately it made the stroller vulnerable to damage by airlines when one of our editors forgot to keep it closed when checking it with her flight. The baggage handler broke off the footrest and the UPPAbaby warranty won't cover airline damages.

Unlike umbrella strollers, most of the other strollers in our review make use of a variety hinges and joints to fold into a more squarish package. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe, for instance, folds down in only three seconds, and then stands up when it is done. However the button/ring combination can be finicky, and you have to be sure to time it right.

Consider how the stroller can be locked in its compacted, closed position. Certain models require you to pull down on a handle or lever located near the rear wheels, while others have red buckles that have to be connected. Refer to the owner's manual for more information on how each model's locking system works.

If you encounter a stroller that's difficult to close Try using a product like baby oil or WD-40 to lubricate the joints and connections. If this doesn't help then you should contact the manufacturer or an expert stroller service. But don't try to force it to close. Inducing a stroller to close when it isn't intended to close it can harm it, and result in injuries to both you and your child.

Easy to carry

No matter if you're planning a full day of running errands, or a family vacation it's crucial to have easy access to your stroller. Travel strollers fold down into a compact size and are lightweight, making them easy to carry and transport. They can also be easily stored in your car or the closet at home. Some models come with an organizer bag for simple transport and protection.

Consider how you will use the stroller before choosing one. Will you use it on roads, for plane trips, or in your daily life? This will help you narrow your options. If you're traveling with a baby, look for a stroller that is compatible with car seats to save time and stress. If you have a toddler, think about an option with a larger rear seat for more comfort and legroom.

Make sure to check with your airline to ensure that the stroller you select can fit into their overhead bins. Many airlines will gate check strollers if they're too large to fit into the cabin. Certain airlines will transfer strollers to the hold if their baggage allowance is over.

If you intend to use your stroller often, you should choose one with wheels that are smaller and stronger than those found on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are easier to maneuver, and less likely to get damaged or punctured. You might want to consider adding an additional set of wheel covers for additional protection.

Invest in a lock if you plan to take your travel pram stroller unattended to the beach or other public locations. Attaching a portable umbrella to your stroller will offer additional sun protection. You can clip a utility bag onto the handlebar for doing your shopping hands-free or carry an aloe Vera bottle. Finally, a set of carabiners on the front of your stroller is a great option to keep the essentials such as water bottles and snacks in your the ready.

Easy to store

The most reliable strollers for travel can be easily maintained and stored. To keep your stroller clean and ready for use, start by vacuuming all surfaces to get rid of any loose dirt and crumbs. If stains are evident, a cloth with mild detergent and warm water will do the trick. For hard-to-reach areas brushing with a toothbrush could come in handy. For parts that aren't made of fabric such as the wheels and handlebars, a damp, clean cloth is enough but it's recommended to lubricate moving components regularly to prevent the rust from developing.

Some travel strollers, such as the chit chat stroller, have a parent tray for personal items, as well as one or more cup holders, making it easy to take care of essentials on-the-go. Some models have a more extensive tray for parents that comes with slots for Pushchairs tablets or laptop. In addition to helping parents stay well-organized, these features can help reduce stress during long trips.

A great stroller for travel must be able to fold up and fit into tight spaces, such as the overhead bin of an airplane or in public transportation. For this reason, many parents prefer strollers that fold and fit into its own bag, rather than having to be gate-checked with baggage.

When you are evaluating strollers based on their ease of storage, be sure to think about the space you have at home, too. A smaller travel stroller is the best travel pram choice for those with limited space. But, if you intend for frequent trips that require the stroller to be carried via car or public transportation A larger model with better performance for everyday use and storage might be more suitable.

Some strollers are offered as part of a travel system that includes a car seat. These can be purchased for the same price or Baby Carriages less than buying the items on their own. This is a convenient choice, but it's important to keep in mind that the quality of strollers included in these bundles can be less than standalone models. We suggest that you think about these as a last option.
