Lightweight    The key to a good travel stroller is that it must be lightweight and easy to fold. The top models we tested fold down using only one hand (and sometimes two hands) and can fit in overhead luggage compartments. They also roll well and are compact enough to easily maneuver in tight spaces. Some models even have an adjustable handle for parents of various heights. If you're planning a short trip with your newborn or a long-haul getaway with a toddler, look for an easy-to-pack stroller that makes the journey -- and return for your family.    We tested nine strollers that met our minimum weight and size requirements. Each model was tested on city streets, country side walks, and in the airport terminal to assess its ability to maneuver, its ease of carrying and folding and overall comfort for the child.    Our top choice is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320) It folds the most easily of the strollers we tested, and is able to fit into the overhead bins of planes. It's compatible with car seats and the seat reclines completely flat, making it ideal for babies. The car also features an undercarriage that is deep, a bag-hook on the handle and UPF50+ canopy to offer plenty of protection to your child.    The Cybex Orfeo (320) is another great option. It has an articula fold that can be completed with one hand and is very light. The five-point harness is padded, the crotch strap, and the Reversible seats keep your child safe and secure, while a large undercarriage basket and a reversible seat will ensure there is space for their belongings.

It's a bit pricier than other models in this class, but it offers extra features, including a larger cupholder for the parent as well as an adjustable handlebar to accommodate parents of all heights and a comfortable carry strap. Its simplicity may sacrifice some durability when compared to the other models in this category, however.    2. Folding is easy    When you're on the go, your stroller has to be simple to open and close. If you're carrying a bag of groceries or children in your arms, you don't want to wrestle with a complex stroller to close it. Even with only one hand, the most convenient strollers for travel can be folded easily and compactly. A lot of them have padded straps that you can comfortably wear over your shoulders.    In our tests in our tests, the Libelle stroller was rated highly for its easy folding and compact size. It also has other attractive features. twin pushchairs to roll across all surfaces and features an expansive canopy that offers enough coverage. Plus, it's surprisingly lightweight and free-standing when folded, which makes it easier to store.    Parents who want to roll straight to the plane gate and then put their stroller into an overhead bin, we suggest an option that will fit in. The Munchkin Sparrow, for example is perfect for the smallest fold and comes with a convenient travel cover, but it comes with no recliner, and a small cargo area that can only accommodate a small bag or diaper bag (no backpacks).    The Babyzen Yoyo 2 is another alternative. It folds in a concertina-style fashion, but it also has a reversible seating position for face-to-face riding or back-to-back riding. Our editor found it a breeze to open and close, but she was not thrilled with how the handle slides behind the seat when folded.    The tri-fold is the newest travel stroller. It folds into three pieces and provides the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Minu for instance, has a convertible seat, an unstructured rear storage pouch, and a lockable clasp that keeps it folded. It's a bit larger than the umbrellas made by the brand, but is smaller than their G-Luxe or G-Link counterparts. It also comes with a shoulder strap that is cushioned.    3. Easy to store    The best travel strollers fold down into smaller, compact size that is easy to fit into the trunk of your car or squeeze into the overhead bin on the plane. Some come with a strap can be used to carry the stroller on your shoulder, so that your hands won't be exhausted. They are also lighter than standard strollers, which can make them easy to lift and carry when you're ready for an easy stroll around the neighborhood or at the airport.    When we test this stroller, it did extremely well in our durability tests, and it was easy to maneuver on all kinds of surfaces from smooth hardwoods to shag carpeting. Some of our test subjects thought it was a bit fragile and the handlebar wasn't cushioned to keep your hands comfortable. The size of the basket should also be considered. It is quite small and some parents have reported that it was difficult to squeeze a large size diaper bag into it.    In general, we suggest calling your airline ahead of time to check their specific guidelines for bringing strollers on board, as they can vary. This is particularly important if you wish to check your stroller's gate-ability that allows you to travel around the airport without it and use it when you're on the plane (though this isn't a viable option for families who require car seats or a toddler booster).    If you're looking for a no-fuss stroller that's light and folds down to a compact size the Contours Itsy is a great option. The Contours Itsy comes completely assembled and all you need to do is put in the bumper bar. It comes with a parent cup holder and back pocket but there isn't a large basket, which could limit your ability to pack essentials for a long-distance trip.    If you're an avid traveler, we suggest a more robust stroller that has more features and can carry more cargo. The UPPAbaby Minu, as an instance, comes with many of the same features as its G-Luxe and G-Link cousins, but it's more compact and folds up more quickly. It is also slightly more robust than an umbrella stroller, and has a padded strap to alleviate some of the burden off your shoulders.    4. Confortable    It is important to be comfortable when using strollers for extended periods of time. Look for seats with ample padding and a recline feature that lets you set it at various angles. Also, consider whether the canopy extends to give protection from the sun, and if it has mesh windows to allow airflow. If you have to carry a few items take a look at a model that has a parent organizer/cup holder and a large storage basket under the seat. When shopping for a travel child jogger, make sure to check the age range. Also, consider whether your child is at ease in the seat without an infant car-seat.    It is also crucial to consider the way a stroller moves. It needs to maneuver easily over various surfaces including smooth hardwoods, shag carpets to cobblestones and gravel. It should also be able to navigate stairs and curbs without difficulty. Choose a lightweight stroller when you are planning to do a lot of walking throughout your trip. This will help to prevent leg and back pain.    A good quality travel stroller should be simple to use, as well. It should be easy to assemble and snap back together when placed in the correct place. It should also fold flat enough to fit in the trunk of your car, or the overhead compartments of planes. It should also remain upright when folded, so that you can pick it up with one hand while holding your baby in the other.    If you're a parent who's looking for a premium lightweight stroller for travel the Joie Tourist is a great alternative. It features various recline positions, so that your child can rest comfortably. The canopy extends to provide lots of sun protection and UPF protection. It also comes with lots of extras such as a footmuff and coffee cup holder and rain cover are all included.
