How The 10 Worst Travel Pram Fails Of All Time Could Have Been Prevented

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 best travel prams also have a compact fold which easily fits into overhead bins or smaller car boots, and can accommodate the infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram of choice for parents on the go thanks to its ultra-lightweight design that's gate-check friendly and its compact fold. It has a very wide turning radius, and a flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has a reputation as a stylish, feature-packed product that is intuitively designed. It is extremely lightweight and folds down to the size of a suitcase for easy transport. It also has the front wheel lock to keep it in place when used and a canopy that is fixed to offer adequate protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has a great storage basket that holds a fair amount of equipment.

The G-Luxe isn't as expensive as the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby line, is actually affordable. It also comes with a few extras like a cup for the parent holders, as well as a rain cover. It also has a convenient one-step brake system, tall handlebars that make it easier to push for parents of any height and a hand-level fold mechanism that makes it simple to store.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe comes with a modern, sturdy frame that mimics the VISTA & CRUZ strollers. It also features an updated, single-wheeled front design that makes it easier to maneuver, and a bigger canopy with an open sunshade that provides SPF 50+ protection. It also comes with a huge storage basket as well as a back pocket that is easy to access.

While the G-Luxe was a top performer in our noise testing however, it wasn't at the top of the line in terms of performance or durability. It also had the lowest number of reclined positions compared to all of our test models and its rear-facing seat is not recommended for children under two years old.

While the UPPAbaby G-Luxe was not able to take home our top umbrella stroller award, it was still an excellent contender and has many of the features that make our top picks so popular with families. It is 16 lbs, has a small footprint when folded, but is not as compact as. Summer Infant 3D Lite weighs 2 lbs less than G Luxe and folds down to the size of a smaller. It is an excellent option for parents seeking a light travel stroller.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram delivers on its promises. It is easy to use, light and stylish. It's designed to fit into the city but it can also be used for travel. It's more expensive than the other choices on this list, but it's among the few that come with a rain cover.

Five Frenchmen formed BabyZen in order to design a lightweight stroller that is suitable for urban living. The YOYO2 version is the latest. The YOYO2 has a very unique folding and unfolding system that can be done using just one hand. It's also extremely light and compact, and it can even be carried on the shoulder. It can be used from the moment of birth and has a bassinet can be used for newborns. Once your baby is old enough, it can be converted into an infant seat. You can also add a car seat to transform it into an entire travel system.

The YOYO2 is a great bicycle with suspension that can take on rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a huge storage basket and a big zip pocket behind the seat, which is handy for your wallet, phone or snacks. It can be connected to other YOYOs for bigger families and is compatible with all Babyzen accessories, such as a footmuff and a large shopping bag.

The only downside to the YOYO2 is that it's not suitable for long walks in the park or on cobblestones. It's a smooth ride, but may not be as durable as something designed for more rugged terrain. If you intend to use it just for short city walks or for running errands, then it will do the job well. The YOYO2 is simple to take in and out from the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit into the footwell as well. It is also smaller than people's hand luggage, so it is perfect for flying with children.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a compact, lightweight stroller with lots of features. It can be folded into a small package to make it easy to carry and store. It's among the lightest strollers we've tested, and it's one of the best budget alternatives. It's not a great option for a stroller that you can use everyday because it does not have a bassinet or car seat adapter, however it is ideal for pushchairs travel systems.

It can be used to hold the toddler comfortably. The large seat can be laid flat for napping or diaper changes and the 5-point harness adjusts to three height positions as your child grows. The storage basket is big and has an extra cup holder in the back for parents to use. There is a peekaboo window on the canopy, which is covered with a flap of fabric and a pocket with a zipper for smaller items.

Similar to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe This stroller is able to steer very well on smooth surfaces, but it got stuck in cracks during our testing on rough terrain. The wheels are made of plastic and vibrate more than the average of our test group. It also has a shorter carry strap than the majority of our strollers tested, which means it's more difficult to carry if you're carrying a heavy bag or a sleeping baby.

The 3Dlite unfolds and folds in only six seconds. There are a few steps to the process: raising the lever in the center of the back to release the latch, pressing down the latch on the back right and then pushing the handles downwards. Although these aren't the fastest or most slow fold and unfold times of any stroller they are nevertheless fairly quick. It has relatively taller handles which could cause problems for those who are shorter.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has one major disadvantage that is that it doesn't come with a sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy, but doesn't offer adequate protection for your child if you are walking with them facing the sun. It is a retractable visor that can provide some protection when fully opened, but does not cover the head of the child.

Zoe Traveler

If you're looking for a lightweight and compact stroller consider the Zoe Traveler. The stroller is not only light, but it can fold up to the size and shape of a carry-on suitcase! That's a huge advantage in our book. It also includes an umbrella for the sun, a parent console and various other accessories like an oversized backpack for storage or travel, cross-body or single shoulder straps, a kid's snack tray and an umbrella for the weather.

Zoe started as a family-owned business and they pride themselves on creating products that offer parents with the best value as their children develop. This approach shows in their range of strollers, which includes a range from a basic umbrella model to an expandable twin pushchair double stroller with reclining seats. Travel strollers from this company are among the best available and offer the most value for money.

We tested the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it to other models on the basis of functionality and ease of use. We examined a variety of criteria such as the fold and unfold feature, storage, maneuverability, and safety. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold. However, it requires only one hand. It's not as smooth a ride as some of the competition. It's not the best option for parents with taller heights as the handlebars only reach around 40 inches, which can be uncomfortable for long rides.

It is important to have enough storage space in your stroller, especially when you are traveling. It's responsible for 25% of our overall score on ease of use. The Zoe Traveler scored 7 out of 10. A small bin is located in the back of the car. It could fit the diaper bag or coat or jacket. It's unlikely to hold a full day of supplies.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the most spacious in our test group. They're averagely cushioned and have two recline settings. The recline adjusts easily by using one hand, however it takes two hands to bring it up straight again.
