collapsible pushchair, choose a model that offers an umbrella or rain cover. Some are also equipped with adjustable leg support and footrests.
Parents who tested the GH stroller raved about this nimble stroller's one-hand fold as well as its lightweight. It's small enough for it to go through gate-checks or in the cabin of an aircraft.
Strollers that are easy-to-push
The best strollers for pushing are light and easy to maneuver. Some strollers feature features that make it easier to steer them, such as front wheels that can swivel. Some have suspension systems that take the impact of bumps and ensure the ride smooth for the passengers. Some strollers come with an adjustable wrist strap that keeps the stroller in place. Choose a stroller that weighs less than 25 pounds if you're looking to purchase a lightweight one. Many lightweight strollers can be used as carry-on luggage on airplanes. However, you should be sure to check the requirements of your airline prior to your trip.
The light Baby Jogger City Select is a great option for parents who require an easy stroller. It is easy-to-maneuver, and its large wheels and suspension system offer an easy ride on most surfaces. The only drawback is that the City Select isn't designed for running, making it not the best option for those who plan to use it as a jogger.
If you're looking for a more expensive stroller think about the Cybex Aton 5. The stroller might be a bit more expensive, but it is light and has a lot of features. It comes with a large under-seat basket that can be accessed by pushing down on a spring-loaded handle that also doubles as an additional footrest when the stroller is folded. This feature has caused discomfort for our testers however, as it seems to be more susceptible to being damaged by baggage handlers.
Another stroller that is lightweight and easy to maneuver is the Summer Infant 3D Mini. This bare-bones stroller is crazy light (only 11 lbs!) and comes with a few extra features, such as two cup holders inside the storage console, a lower storage basket, a modest canopy, and the slight recline to nap. It's also slim and small enough to walk around shops.
The Contours Itsy stroller is lightweight and super convenient for moms who are always in motion. It's nearly assembled, to allow you to get to your destination quicker. It's also compact and comes with a few additional features including an extendable footrest that doubles as a handle when pushing it. It's one of the cheapest strollers in its category.
Strollers that are easy to fold
If you're looking to purchase a light stroller that folds easily, there are several alternatives available. The Joolz Aer +, for instance is a sleek
Collapsible pushchair which looks contemporary and comes with plenty of storage space, but it does lack an adult leg rest to ensure their feet aren't hanging. The Aer+ also comes with an array of accessories that make it suitable for use from birth, such as the Cot To Go (which has a clever compact
fold up pushchair) and car seat adapters.
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is another great lightweight stroller. It weighs just 16 pounds and can be folded into a rectangle to fit in the majority of trunks and overhead bins for airlines. It comes with a large canopy and a reclining chair and padded straps to carry it. It doesn't have an adjustable handlebar and the hood is flat, so it doesn't block sun's rays.
The Cybex Libelle Stroller is also an easy-to-fold option. It folds up to a compact size and comes with a carrying bag with long straps. The only downside is that it will not fit in the smallest overhead bins on airplanes, and the bumper bar can be a bit difficult to remove and put back in.
Silver Jet is the best option for those looking for a double stroller with an easy-to-fold design. It features a single fold and an easy-to-use latch however, it doesn't have the same suspension as other top strollers. The compactness of the stroller is more important than comfort. The Silver Jet is still an affordable option for parents on a budget. It's also worth taking a look at the UPPAbaby Minu V2 Double which features an umbrella fold that is more traditional but is able to accommodate a child from birth and provides more suspension than the Silver Jet. It also has a large basket and an adjustable footrest. It's the best double stroller that you can purchase for the money. It may not be as stylish as other strollers we tested but it's a great choice for families that are on an extremely tight budget.
