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

Lightweight strollers need to be quick to fold and simple to use. The most reliable travel prams have a compact fold that easily fits in overhead bins or smaller car boots, and can also accommodate the infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram of choice for many parents who travel, thanks to its super-lightweight design that's gate-check compatible and its compact fold. It also has a great turn radius and a near-flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has earned a reputation for being an elegant, feature-packed product that is well-designed. The stroller is incredibly lightweight and folds down to the size of a suitcase for easy transport. The stroller also comes with the front wheel lock to keep it in place when used and a fixed canopy for adequate protection against the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has a great storage basket that holds plenty of gear.

In contrast to the more expensive models in the UPPAbaby family the G-Luxe is quite affordable and comes with a variety of extras, including a parent cup holder and rain cover. It also has a convenient brake system that is one step with tall handlebars, making it easier to push for parents of any height and a hand-level fold mechanism that makes it simple to carry around.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has an updated robust frame design that emulates the VISTA and CRUZ strollers as well as a new front-end design that has a single-wheeled design that increases mobility and has a larger, more expansive canopy with the ability to pop out a sunshade with SPF 50+. It also has a convenient storage basket, and an easy-to-access back-of-seat storage pocket.

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

Although the UPPAbaby G-Luxe was not able to win our best umbrella stroller award, it was still a worthy contender and comes pushchair with car seat many of the features that make our winners so loved by families. It weighs 16 lbs and has a small footprint when folded, but is not as compact as. Summer Infant 3D Lite weighs 2 lbs less than the G Luxe and folds down to the size of a smaller. It is 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 elegant. eryday use as it does not come with an infant bassinet or car seat but it is great for travel.

It can support a weight limit of 50 pounds, and it is able to carry toddlers. The large seat lays almost flat for napping or changing diapers and the 5-point harness can be adjusted to three height positions as your child grows. There is a huge storage basket and a cup holder for parents. The canopy features a peekaboo fabric-covered window and a separate pocket that is zippered to store smaller items.

Like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe the stroller also steers very well on smooth surfaces, but was stuck in cracks during our testing on rough terrain. Its wheels are made from plastic and they bounce more than the average of our test group. It also has a longer carry strap than the majority of our test strollers so it is harder to carry if you're carrying a heavy bag or sleeping baby.

The 3Dlite folds in four seconds and unfolds in six. There are a few steps to the process: raising the lever on the back center to release the latch, pressing down the latch on the back right and then pushing the handles down. While they aren't the fastest or most slow fold and unfold times of any stroller, they are nevertheless pretty quick. It also has relatively higher-end handle bars, which could be a problem for shorter people.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has one major disadvantage: it doesn't have a sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy but it doesn't provide adequate protection for your child when you are walking with them facing the sun. It does have a retractable sun visor that provides some protection when it is fully open but it does not cover your baby's head completely.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those looking for lightweight, compact strollers. This little stroller is not only light, but it also folds down to the size of a carry-on luggage! That's a huge advantage in our book. It also includes sun canopy as well as a console for parents and various other accessories like an oversized backpack for storage or travel and cross-body or single shoulder straps, a kids' snack tray and a weather cover.

Zoe was founded as a family-owned company and they pride themselves on making products that give parents maximum value as their children grow. This is evident in their stroller range which includes everything from an umbrella that is basic to an expandable double with reclining chairs. Travel strollers from this brand are among the best available and offer the most value for money.

We tried the Zoe Traveler to see how it compares to competition in terms of user-friendliness and functionality. We considered several factors, including folding and unfolding storage and maneuverability, and safety. We found this stroller to be easy to fold and unfold, but it does take some effort using one hand. It also doesn't have the same smooth ride as other strollers. It's not a good choice for parents who are taller because the handlebars only extend about 40 inches, which may be uncomfortable on long trips.

It is crucial to have plenty of storage space in your stroller, particularly when you are on the road. It accounts for 25% of our overall score on ease of use. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. There's a small bin in the back of the seat that can accommodate a diaper bag, and maybe a jacket or coat. It's unlikely to hold all the supplies needed for a whole day.

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