How to Choose a Travel Stroller

If you are a frequent traveler or if your daily strolls include a short out-and-back stroll and lots of stops at local parks, consider getting a lightweight stroller that can be packed. They're extremely easy to fold and fit easily into buses, trunks, trains, and planes.

The Nuna Trvl is compact and fits in the overhead bin of most planes. It's also very easy to put together and comes with excellent features, including the simple, adjustable seat.

Easy to Assemble

This stroller is easy to assemble, and it's also very simple to use. The frame opens and folds with one hand and the seat reclines in two different positions. The bumper bar is simple to replace and remove and the handlebar feels and looks good. However, the lack of storage space means parents will have to carry a huge diaper bag or delicately wrap it around the handle (against expert advice).

This lightweight stroller has sharp turns and can roll smoothly on almost any surface. It has larger foam-filled rubber wheels than the other models we tested. This provides it with more bounce and stability. However some parents have said that the tires feel thin.

In its small size the stroller can be tucked away into the overhead bins of the majority of aircrafts and weighs less than 13 pounds. Its basic design means it comes with a few extra features, but it's an ideal choice for frequent travelers. Be aware that collapsible walkers are considered "carry on" baggage, and might have to be checked by your airline if they are subject to strict baggage restrictions.

If you frequently travel, it might make sense to invest in a stroller that has advanced features. These more expensive models often provide more storage options, including large underseat baskets, and pram bag double pushchair (total-bookmark.com) are typically easier to assemble and fold. A lot of these strollers have adjustable harnesses, and other safety features you may not find on less basic models. Be sure to check with your airlines to find out their policies on screening strollers, and make sure to follow their instructions to the letter to avoid any unpleasant surprises. It is also important to read the stroller's manual and especially the sections related to safety. Make sure you know how to properly use the straps and ensure they are secured. Be sure to supervise your child and use the stroller at a safe pace. This will reduce the risk of injury if your stroller is accidentally tipped over or swerves off-course.

Easy to Fold

A quality stroller for travel must fold down into a compact and manageable package. Certain models are excellent in this regard, such as the JOOVY, a lightweight TRVL which folded down in less than four seconds during our tests. It can stand upright in its folded state. This makes it simple to store and carry in a trunk or closet.

The UPPAbaby MINU V2 is another stroller that folds easily and weighs less than 17 pounds and comes with an ample underseat storage basket that can be used to store a backpack or diaper bag. The footrest that is reversible can be used as a handle for folding the stroller. This feature was a huge hit during our testing but unfortunately it left the stroller vulnerable to damage by airlines when one of our editors forgot to keep it closed when checking it with her flight. The baggage handler snapped off the footrest, and the UPPAbaby guarantee won't cover airline-related damage.

Unlike umbrella strollers, most of the other travel strollers we've reviewed use a variety of hinges and joints to fold up into a more squarish package. For example the UPPAbaby Gluxe folds in three seconds and then stands up when it's done, but the ring and button combination can be finicky and requires you to be able to time it perfectly.

Consider how the stroller might be locked into its compacted, 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. Read the owner's guide for more details on how each model's locking mechanism operates.

If you encounter a stroller that's difficult to close Try using a product such as baby oil or WD-40 to lubricate the joints and connections. If you're not successful, contact the manufacturer's customer support or try a stroller repair service. Don't make it close. Forcing a stroller to close when it was not designed to do so can damage it, and result in injuries to both you and your child.

Easy to carry

It's essential that you easily access your stroller whether you plan to run errands for a day or embark on a family trip. Travel strollers fold up into a compact size and are lightweight, making them easy to carry and transport. They can also be stored in your car or in the closet at home. Some models come with bags for storage to make the process of transporting and storing them much easier.

Think about how you will utilize the stroller before deciding on one. Will it accompany you on plane trips, be brought out for road trips, or be used regularly in the city? The answer to this question will allow you to narrow your choices. You can cut down on time and energy by selecting a stroller for travel that is compatible with car seats if you are traveling with children. If you have a toddler, consider a model with a larger rear seat for more comfort and legroom.

A great travel stroller must be small and lightweight enough to fit in overhead bins of airplanes, but make sure to check with your airline prior to you buy to ensure it is in line with their dimensions and regulations. Many airlines will check strollers for gate-checks if they are too large to fit in the cabin. Certain airlines will transfer strollers to the hold in the event that their baggage allowance has been over.

If you intend to use your stroller often, you should choose one with wheels that are less hefty and smaller than those used on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are more maneuverable and less likely to cause damage or puncture. You may want to add two wheel covers for additional protection.

Invest in a lock in case you intend to take your travel stroller unattended to the beach or other public areas. It's also an excellent idea to attach an umbrella portable to your stroller for extra sun protection. You can also clip a utilitarian bag onto the handlebar to allow shopping without hands or to carry an aloe vera bottle. Finally, a set of carabiners on the front of your stroller is a great option to keep things like water bottles and snacks close at hand.

Easy to store

The best travel strollers are easy to maintain and to store. Begin by vacuuming the stroller to get rid of any particles of dirt or crumbs. If stains are evident the use of a soft cloth, warm water and mild detergent should do the trick. For difficult-to-access areas the use of a toothbrush may be helpful. For parts that aren't made of fabric, like the handlebars and wheels, a damp cloth is sufficient however it is recommended to regularly grease moving parts to avoid rust.

Some travel strollers such as the chit chat stroller, come with a tray for parents to keep personal items and one or more cup holders, making it easy to take care of essentials while on the move. Certain models come with a more comprehensive parent tray that includes a slot for a tablet or laptop. Apart from keeping parents well-organized, these features can help reduce stress on long journeys.

A quality travel stroller must be able to fold down and fit into small spaces like the overhead bins of an aircraft or public transportation. This is why many parents choose strollers that fold up and fit into its own carry bag, rather than having to be checked at the gate for baggage.

Take into consideration how much space you have at home when you are evaluating strollers. A smaller travel stroller is the best choice for those with limited space. But, if you intend on frequent excursions that require the stroller to be carried via car or public transportation, a larger product that has better performance in everyday use and storage could be more suitable.

Some strollers are available as part of a travel package that includes a car seat for children. The price is the same or lower than buying the products separately. This is a great option however, it is important that you keep in mind that the quality of strollers that are included in these bundles can be less than standalone models. We recommend that you only consider these options as a last option.
