Find models that have one-hand folds that can be done without any stooping or straining. Many models also have a handy carry strap that makes it easy to carry the stroller over your shoulder when not in use. If you're planning on walking a lot during your trip, a stroller with an enormous basket under the seat can be useful. It can hold large bags for diapers or weekender bags.

The lightweight Babyzen YoYo2 stroller is the most compact stroller we've test. It weighs just 13.7 pounds, it will easily fit into aisles of airplanes and overhead bins.

Another excellent option is the Nuna TRVL, which is a sleek and unique stroller that is designed to make travel with kids as easy as it can be.

Convenient Storage

In contrast to most strollers, some models designed for travel have extremely compact folds that are ideal for stowing in tight car trunks or crowded overhead bins. They also often weigh less than 10 pounds, making them easy for anyone (including children) to carry.

UPPAbaby's Minu was among the first strollers that could be used as an everyday stroller. It is still a favorite among parents who don't pack a lot and do not want their stroller to be checked at the gate when they fly. The stroller is IATA-certified and easy to get off the plane and fits in most overhead bins. It also has a number of smart features, including a one-handed folding mechanism with a large sunshade, as well as a comfortable seat with multiple recline positions.

The Kolcraft Cloud Plus is a budget-friendly stroller that feels like a luxurious option. It's not the prettiest nor most compact model in our review, but it comes with an elegant frame, simple controls, and a variety of useful features (including the ability to recline as well as a padded foot brake and a large undercarriage basket and a simple, one-handed fold). It's also eco-friendly and comes with recyclable packaging and comes with a 10-year warranty.

Another top contender is the Bugaboo Butterfly, which has an elongated profile and a plethora of practical features. It's easy to move across different surfaces, including wood and shag rug, and the storage basket at the bottom can hold a backpack. The only drawback is its weight (at 17 pounds) which could prevent it from fitting in the overhead bins of smaller planes.

If you don't have lots of space for storing your stroller at home, consider purchasing a bike shed or making a nook custom for it. A garden shed is the perfect place to store your stroller, since it's weatherproof and protected from the elements. It's also easily accessible whenever you require it. A nook or shed can be a secure spot to stash your stroller in the event that it gets lost or stolen while you're away.
