How to Choose a Travel Stroller

If you frequently travel or if your regular walks involve a quick out-and-back, and a lot of stops at local parks, consider getting a lightweight, packable stroller. They are easy to fold and can be tucked away in trunks, trains, buses and planes.

The Nuna Trvl is incredibly compact and fits in the overhead bins of most planes. It's also super simple to assemble and comes with excellent features, including the simple, adjustable seat.

Easy to Assemble

As its name suggests, this stroller is designed to be simple to put together and use. The frame opens and folds in one hand and the seat reclines in two different positions. It also comes with an adjustable bumper bar that can be taken off and on with ease and the handlebar appears and feels good, too. However, the lack of storage space means parents will need to carry a huge diaper bag or carefully wrap it around the handle (against the advice of an expert).

This lightweight travel stroller rolls effortlessly over all surfaces, even rough sidewalks. It also makes quick turns. It has bigger foam-filled rubber wheels than some of the other models we tested. This provides it with more bounce and stability. However some parents have said that the tires feel flimsy.

In its small size the stroller can be tucked away into the overhead bins of most aircrafts and weighs less than 13 pounds. Its minimalist design means it doesn't have many extra features, but it's still an excellent option for frequent passengers. It's important to keep in mind that strollers that fold up are considered "carry-on" baggage and might require checking if your airline has tight baggage restrictions.

If you are a frequent traveler, it might make sense to invest a bit more in a stroller that comes with advanced features. These more expensive strollers often include more storage options like large underseat bins, and are simpler to put together and collapse. Many strollers have adjustable harnesses, along with other safety features you might not find on less basic models. Make sure to check with your airline to determine what their policies are regarding strollers, and follow them to the letter. It is also essential to read the user manual for your stroller, especially the sections on safety. Particularly, you need to understand how to attach the straps and ensure that you use them in a safe manner. Remember to always be on the lookout for your child and only use the stroller at a safe pace. This will lower the chance of injury if your stroller is tipped over or swerves.

Easy to Fold

One of the keys to a good travel stroller is that it folds down into compact and manageable size. Some models do this well, such as the light JOOVY TRVL which folded down in less than four seconds during our testing and is able to stand upright in its collapsed state. This makes it simple to put in a trunk or closet and to carry on plane's overhead bins.

The UPPAbaby MINU V2 is another easy-to-fold travel stroller that weighs less than 17 pounds and comes with an extensive underseat storage basket that can fit a large backpack or diaper bag. The reversible footrest can also be used as a handle to collapse the stroller. This feature was a major advantage during our tests, but unfortunately it also opened the stroller to damage by the airline when one of our editors was not able to close it while making sure the stroller was closed for her flight. The baggage handler ripped the footrest off and the UPPAbaby warranty doesn't cover damage caused by an airline.

The majority of the strollers we tested, unlike umbrella strollers use joints and hinges in order to fold into a square package. The UPPAbaby Gluxe, for example, folds in just three seconds, and then stands up after. However, its button/ring combo can be finicky and you must make sure you are timing it correctly.

You should also take into consideration the method by which the stroller locks in its compact, closed position. Certain models require you to pull down on a lever or handle situated close to the rear wheels while others have red buckles that have to be connected. It is a good idea to go through the owner's manual to find specifics on the locking mechanism of each model and how it functions.

If you have a stroller which is difficult to close, you can use WD-40 or baby oil to grease all joints and connections. If this doesn't help then you should contact the manufacturer or an expert stroller service. However, don't force it; forcing a stroller that isn't meant to be closed can cause damage or injuries to you or your child.

Easy to Carry

It's essential that you easily access your stroller regardless of whether you're planning to go on errands during the day or take an excursion with your family. Travel strollers fold up in a compact manner and are light which makes them easy to carry and transport. They can also be easily stored in your car or in your closet at home. Some models even come with a storage bag for easy transportation and protection.

Before choosing a travel stroller, consider how you plan to use it. Will it accompany you on your travels, be brought out for road trips or just be used regularly in the city? This will help you narrow down your options. If you'll be traveling with a child, look for a travel stroller that's compatible with car seats to save time and stress. You should consider a stroller with an extra large rear seat for more comfort and legroom, especially if you have an infant.

A good travel pram stroller should be small and lightweight enough to fit in the overhead bins on airplanes. However, check with your airline before you purchase to make sure it is in line with their dimensions and regulations. Many airlines will check gate strollers if they're too big to fit inside the cabin. Others will send them to the hold if they exceed the baggage allowance.

If you plan to use your travel stroller frequently pick a model that has wheels that are smaller and more durable than those found on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are easier to maneuver and less likely to be damaged or punctured. You may want to add an additional set of wheel covers to protect your wheels.

Make sure you have a lock in place If you are planning to take your stroller without supervision to the beach or other public locations. It's also a good idea to attach an umbrella that you can carry with you on your stroller for extra sun protection. You can also clip a utility bag onto the handlebar to allow hands-free shopping or to carry an aloe vera bottle. A set of carabiners in the front of your stroller will let you keep water bottles and snacks close to hand.

Easy to Store

The best travel strollers are easy to maintain and store. To keep your stroller clean and ready for use, first vacuum all surfaces to eliminate dust and dust. If there are stains the use of a soft cloth, warm water and mild detergent should do the trick. For hard-to-reach areas the use of a toothbrush may come in handy. For non-fabric parts of the stroller such as the wheels and handlebars, a damp, clean cloth is enough, though it's wise to regularly lubricate moving parts to prevent the rust from developing.

Some travel strollers, such as the chitchat lightweight stroller, have an adult tray to store personal items as well as one or more cup holders, making it easy to take care of essentials on-the-go. Other models come with a complete parent tray, including the ability to hold a laptop or tablet. Apart from keeping parents organized, these features can help reduce stress on long journeys.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing a travel stroller is the ability to fold up and fit in tight spaces, such as an airplane overhead bin or on public transport. Many parents prefer strollers that can be folded and stored in a carry bag, instead of having to gate-check them using luggage.

Think about how much room you have at home before evaluating strollers. A smaller travel stroller is the best option if you have limited space. If you plan to take the stroller on frequent trips that require it to be transported via public transportation or a car or by public transport, a larger stroller that has more storage capacity and a better performance for everyday use might be the better option.

Some strollers are available as part of an overall travel package that includes a child car seat. The price is the similar or less than buying the items separately. While this is a convenient option but it's important to keep in mind that the quality of the stroller in these bundles is often considered to be less than standalone models. This is why we suggest considering these options as a last resort.
