Best Lightweight Single Stroller

It is the lightest and smallest travel stroller available. Its sleek design makes it easy to fold into a neat rectangular shape and the wheels spin more smoothly than other models.

It also comes with a huge under-seat storage area as well as an adjustable shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry around when you're not pushing it. But the canopy adjustment can cause lots of noise which can wake a sleepy toddler.

1. Contours Itsy

The Contours Itsy is a compact stroller with a lot of features for its size. The back under-seat basket has a spring loaded mechanism, so you can move the basket to store bags for diapers or backpacks and then it will open up to secure its contents. It also comes with an accessory tray for children and an adjustable back pad that reclines that offer more options than you typically get on a stroller that is light.

It also comes with a canopy that can be shut and opened to achieve the level of sun protection you need. The handlebars can be adjusted in height for a comfortable fit in four different positions. We weren't so impressed with its performance on rough surfaces. We felt the suspension and wheels didn't perform a great job of absorbing bumps and shocks.

The stroller is perfect for travel since it comes assembled in the box. It requires only a few simple steps to make it ready to use. The seat can be pushed forward and backwards to adjust the recline. It's quite flat. Two buttons on the frame allow it to fold and unfold. It also fits into the perfect carrying bag when it's not being used. In fact, it's one of the smallest strollers we've test, and it can meet the requirements of many airlines for gate-checking or cabin storage on airplanes. Be sure to check with your airline before you travel because rules may differ.

2. Kolcraft Cloud Plus

This stroller is a great option for those looking for an easy-to-travel stroller. It has all the features parents desire in a stroller, including all-terrain wheels and front suspension for an easy ride. It is also extremely lightweight with a weight of less than 12 pounds. It also has a handy fold that can be folded with one hand and a self-standing fold. It has two cups holders on each tray for the parent and child.

The quality, however, is a little on the low side and it didn't perform well in our tests of maneuverability. It is a slender frame which makes pushing it across rough surfaces feel like lifting weights. It might be okay if you only use the stroller on sidewalks with paved surfaces. However, for the majority of people, it's not a good choice.

Cloud Plus Cloud Plus has a three-tier extended canopy as well as a peek-a-boo window for added sun protection. The multi-position seat can be used by children up to 50 pounds. It also has a five-point safety restraint. This is a great option for older toddlers that have outgrown their infant car seats.

It is compact and folds down in one step. It can be collapsed by pressing the button. It also has a convenient foot-activated brake that is simple and easy to adjust and release.

However, the handle is a bit lower than other strollers we tested and some parents may feel uncomfortable for long durations. It does have an adjustable handle lock that keeps it in place when opened however. This is a fantastic feature to use the stroller on uneven or gravelly terrain.

3. Munchkin Sparrow

The Munchkin Sparrow is the ultimate travel stroller for parents who are on the go. The stroller is compact and can be folded up and down with ease and fits in the overhead compartments of planes or trunks at amusement parks (no need to fret about parking fees). It comes with a convenient zip bag for storage that is easy to carry. It can be used with the infant car adapter from birth and provides excellent sun protection thanks to its canopy. The only issue is that some parents consider the design to be a bit utilitarian and expensive.

The BabyZen Yoyo+ is a bit more expensive than the other lightweight Single Pushchair sale strollers however it was made specifically for luxe urban and travel. It's one of the strollers that fold easily and comes with a handy carry case. It has plenty of storage space as well as a cupholder. The seat is comfortable for both the adult and child, and reclines to a nearly flat position. This is the only stroller in our list that has a car seat adapter to allow it to be used with a newborn. The handlebar is not adjustable and could be a problem for some parents who are taller.

The UPPAbaby Minu V2 may not be the lightest stroller, however it is packed with great features to make traveling with children easier. Its spacious seat reclines to a pretty flat position, and has additional padding to make the naps on planes last longer. The extendable canopy offers good sun protection, and the tray has plenty of storage. It also has a spring-loaded handle that doubles as the footrest when folded. This footrest is vulnerable to being damaged by baggage handlers.

4. Uppababy Mini V2

Uppababy's Minu V2 is a high-end stroller that doesn't compromise on quality or design. Its compact design makes it easy to navigate through narrow streets and tight spaces however its sturdy construction allows it to handle rough terrain without compromising the safety of your child. Front and rear spring-action suspension creates an incredibly comfortable ride for both of you, while its sturdy materials ensure it will hold up to every day wear and tear without losing its shape. Plus, it can be expanded to accommodate additional accessories like a bassinet or infant car seat.

In our tests during our testing, the Minu was a breeze to maneuver and fold even with a child in its hand. Its squat fold that opens into three sections is among the easiest we tested. This allows it to easily fit into overhead compartments on planes and public transport. It has a single-action color-coded brake that is easy to use.

The seat has a multi-position recline and one-handed adjustable leg rest, which makes it easy to find the right position for your child. The UPF 50+ canopy is lowered quite a bit to protect Cora's face from sun. The medium-sized mesh peekaboo window is magnetically attached to the canopy and shuts without the use of noisy Velcro.

At less than 15 pounds At just under 15 pounds, the Minu is easy to carry thanks to its built-in handle and shoulder strap. It can also be stored in the trunk of your vehicle, and it comes with a storage bag as well as access to Uppababy's TravelSafe program, which provides two years of manufacturer's warranty and provides replacements for damaged items during air travel.

5. Joovy Aire

Joovy is an established brand that makes various strollers. This lightweight stroller is an excellent choice for parents looking for a sturdy stroller that can transport their children. It is easy to maneuver, has plenty of storage space, and is not difficult to fold. It's not the ideal choice for those who want a car seat-compatible model, or a double stroller, though. It doesn't accept any infant car seats, and your children must be able to sit up independently before they can use the stroller from the first day.

This stroller is packed with features and is available at a reasonable price. It scored higher in our maneuverability test than other models with similar specs. It's also a great choice for smooth surfaces. It also has a nice canopy and plenty of storage including a large parent tray. The handlebar is shorter than average and the front wheel suspension is a bit stiffer however it's comfortable for adults.

If you have twins or two children of different ages you may find a side by side stroller to be the best choice to transport them. Our favorite is the Joovy Twin Groove. It is loaded with features and is small in size, so it can fit into places where other side-byside strollers can't.

It comes with reclining seats, a large canopy with an opening window that can be seen from afar and lots of storage. It's heavier than other side-bysides however it has a good capacity and weight limit. It can carry most kids up to 50 pounds. You can also add a bassinet to front of the stroller for infants.

The Caboose RS Sit and Stand Stroller is an elegant version of the stroller. It comes with the same great features as the model above and comes with a bassinet, allowing you to take your baby home from the hospital in style.
