Best Travel Prams – Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate
The strollers that are lightweight should be easy to fold and operate. The best Travel Pram travel prams also come with a compact fold that easily fits into overhead bins or smaller car boots and can also accommodate an infant car seat.
The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the stroller of many parents on the move due to its light design that is gate-check-friendly and its compact folding. It also has a great turn radius and a near-flat recline.
UPPAbaby G-Luxe
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe has earned a reputation for being an elegant, feature-packed product that is designed with a sense of. It is extremely lightweight and folds up into smaller dimensions to make it easy to carry. It also comes with a front wheel lock that keeps the stroller stable during use, and a fixed canopy that gives plenty of protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has an ideal storage basket that holds plenty of equipment.
The G-Luxe, unlike the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby line, is surprisingly affordable. It also comes with a few additional features like a cup for parents, a holder, and raincover. It also comes with a handy one step brake system and tall handlebars that make it easier to push for parents of all heights and a hand-level fold mechanism that makes it simple to store.
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe features a new, robust frame design, which is reminiscent of VISTA and CRUZ strollers, as well as a new front-end single-wheeled design that improves maneuverability and a larger canopy that is more spacious with a pop-out sunshade with SPF 50+. It also comes with a fantastic storage basket and an easy-to-access back-of-seat storage compartment.
While the G-Luxe scored well in our noise tests however, it wasn’t at the top of the class in terms of performance and durability. It also had the least recline positions of all our test models, and its rear-facing seats aren’t recommended for children less than two years.
UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close competitor however, it did not take home the award for the most beautiful umbrella stroller. It has many of the features that make the top contenders so popular among families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a small footprint when folded, but it is not as compact as the G-Luxe. Summer Infant 3D Lite weighs 2 pounds less than the G Luxe and folds down to the size of a smaller. It is a great choice for those looking for a lightweight, compact travel stroller.
BabyZen Yoyo2
The BabyZen Yoyo2 is a pram that delivers as it says on the box. It’s easy to use, light and stylish. It is designed to fit in with urban life but it is also suitable for travel. It’s more expensive than other options, but it has a rain cover.
Five Frenchmen created BabyZen with the aim of creating a light stroller that could be used in urban areas. The YOYO2 is their most recent version. The YOYO2 is a truly unique folding and unfolding system that can be done using just one hand. It’s also compact and light, and it can even be carried on the shoulder. It’s a great option for babies and has the capacity of a bassinet. It’s then able to convert into a seat once your baby is ready for this stage. You can also include a car seat to transform it into an all-in-one travel system.
The YOYO2 is a great bicycle with a suspension system that can take on rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a huge storage basket, and a zip pocket that is big enough to hold your wallet, phone, or even snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families, and it’s compatible with all Babyzen accessories, including a footmuff and a large shopping bag.
The only drawback to the YOYO2 is that it’s not the best travel pram choice for long walks in the park or on cobblestones. It’s a smooth and easy ride but it may not be as robust as a vehicle designed with rough terrain in mind. If you intend to use it just for short city walks or to run some errands, it will be able to do the job. The YOYO2 is simple to get in and out of 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, which means it is ideal for flying with children.
Summer Infant 3D Lite
The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a compact, lightweight stroller with many features. It can be folded into a compact package to make it easy to transport and store. It is one of the lightest strollers we’ve test, and is one of the most affordable alternatives. It isn’t suitable for everyday use as it does not come with a bassinet or a car seat, but it is great for travel.
It can accommodate a toddler easily. The large seat lays almost flat to allow for napping and diaper changes and the 5-point harness adjusts to three height positions as your child grows. The storage basket is large and there is an extra cup holder in the back for parents. The canopy features a peekaboo fabric-covered window and a separate pocket that is zippered to store smaller items.
Similar to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe the stroller also steers very well on smooth surfaces but was stuck in cracks during our rough terrain testing. Its wheels are made from plastic and they bounce more than the average of our test group. It has a smaller strap to carry than the majority of the strollers we tested, making it difficult to carry if you are carrying a heavy bag.
The 3Dlite unfolds and folds down in only six seconds. The process is a few steps that include raising the lever in the back of the stroller to release the latch, pull down the latch on the right side and then push the handles down. Although these aren’t the fastest or slowest time for folding and unfolding a stroller, they are still quite quick. It also has significantly taller handle bars which could be a problem for shorter people.
The biggest drawback of the Summer Infant 3D Lite is that it lacks a full sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy but it doesn’t provide much protection for your child when you’re walking facing the sun. It does come with a retractable sun visor that provides some protection when fully open, but it does not cover your baby’s head completely.
Zoe Traveler
The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for people who want an easy-to-use, compact stroller. This stroller is not only lightweight, but it also folds down to the size of a carry-on bag! This is a major plus in our book. It also comes with an umbrella for the sun and a parent console, as well as various other accessories like the ability to carry a backpack for travel with a single or cross-body straps, a kids’ snack tray and an umbrella for the weather.
Zoe began as a family-owned company and they take pride in creating products that offer parents maximum value as their children grow. This is evident in their line of strollers, which includes a range of umbrellas ranging from a basic model to a twin pushchairs double that can be expanded with reclined seats. Their travel strollers are also among the top options available, and they provide the best value for your buck.
We tested the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it to other models on the basis of functionality and ease of use. We looked at several criteria, including the fold and unfold feature, storage, maneuverability, and safety. We discovered that this stroller is easy to fold and unfold, although it requires some effort with one hand. It also doesn’t have as smooth of a ride as some of the competition. It’s not a good choice for parents who are taller as the handlebars only reach around 40 inches, which may be uncomfortable on long trips.
Storage is important in a stroller, especially when you’re on the move. It’s responsible for 25% of our overall score on ease of use. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7/10 in this category. There’s a small container in the back of the seat that could hold a diaper bag and perhaps a coat or jacket. It’s not likely to hold an entire day’s worth of items.
The seats on the Zoe Traveler are comfortable, however they’re not the most spacious of our test group. They have average padding and two settings for reclining. The recline adjusts easily with one hand, but it takes two to bring it up straight again.
