A Single Hand Fold Stroller Is Easy to Use and Fits Into Tight Spaces

A stroller must be easy to maneuver and fit into small spaces. This single-hand fold model does both very well and is a great choice for travel.

The canopy is big and has a peek-aboo view. It also has an enormous undercarriage bag. The only drawback is that it's not able to fit in some airline overhead bins.

Features

Choose the right travel stroller for your trip, whether you're going on vacation or traveling for business. Take into consideration the weight and age of your child, as well features such as a deep recline and ample storage, and protection against weather. You should also choose a model that's easy to fold and unfold with one hand, particularly if you're holding the child.

The egg2 was an excellent choice for us due to its compact fold lightweight weight and solid feel. It also comes with a cushioned handlebar, a recline mechanism, and an ample underseat basket. The only drawbacks are the stiff leg rest and limited storage space. The leg rest basket and the leg rest can both fit inside a compact bag, but to do so you'll need to take off the cushion on the seat. The seat doesn't have a large-size pocket, which can be frustrating when you're trying to carry multiple bags and a toddler who is squirmy.

If you are looking for a single-handle model that is more affordable take a look at the GBQbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in many ways with one-hand folding as well as an accessible leg rest. It does not have the same amount of undercarriage storage space as other models, and its canopy is smaller.

During our testing we were awestruck by the GB Qbit+ All City's smooth ride on a variety of surfaces. It was a breeze to roll across shag carpet and sidewalks that were paved, and it performed well in our durability test. It also offers many options for customization, including a newborn bassinet attachment and a riderboard for siblings.

The stroller is light and can be folded in half to fit in the overhead bin of a train or plane. The stroller is sleek, modern design with an encasement in the front for the phone of the parent and a larger pocket at the back to store larger bags or weekenders. The cushioned seat is well designed, and the buckling system uses magnetic buckles that are simple to use and quick to secure even with a squirmy toddler in tow. It is also one of the few models we have tested equipped with a foot brake which allows you to stop it when necessary.

Design

If you plan to travel with a stroller make sure you choose one that is easy to fold and carry, and transport with other luggage. Some of these travel strollers even have a carrying case or strap that allows you to carry them on your shoulders. These strollers are ideal for long days of sightseeing or navigating narrow aisles on public transport.

When you are choosing a single-hand folding stroller, think about features such as the size of the basket as well as the depth of the recline and how big you want the canopy to be. Also consider whether you need a tray for your child, an adjustable leg rest and how much weight the stroller is able to hold.

The Nuna Trvl is one of GH's top one-handed stroller. It's a light jogger that's easy-to-handle, has an incredibly comfortable reclining seat, as well as an ample storage bag. It's also stylish and can be used on all surfaces and makes smooth turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City is another excellent option for a lightweight and compact stroller that's easy to carry. It reminds us of the Nuna Trvl, but is slightly less expensive, and includes a few additional features, such as an adjustable leg rest as well as an easy-to-recline system that goes nearly all the way back.

Other notable lightweight strollers include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a spot on our best car seat travel systems list) and the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and comes with a one-handed, self-standing fold. It's heavier than other top models in this category however, and its front wheel could be better in absorbing bumps.

The UPPAbaby Mini offers many of the same features of the larger prams from the brand, but folds more compactly. It can fit in the majority of overhead bins on airplanes. The padding on the seat is substantial, and its recline system comes with two settings that are easy to use. It comes with a neat, unstructured storage compartment at the rear and a locking latch that ensures it is folded when it is in transit.

Weight

This stroller folds into a compact, light-weight package that can be tucked away in overhead bins of airlines, making it perfect for air travel. It also comes with a huge storage bag and child tray. It has some drawbacks such as the restricted recline (it can only be lowered down to a small angle) and instructions in pictures instead of words. However it is an excellent option for families who want a lightweight, simple stroller.

The BabyZen YoYo2 stroller is a popular choice for travelers. It's light (13.7 pounds), has a small folded design that makes it easy to fit into airplane aisles and overhead bins, and offers decent features for the money. It's compatible with numerous car seat brands, and is one of the lightest strollers available.

However, it is not the easiest to handle. It has a small base and a small undercarriage storage, which may make it less suitable for longer journeys or errands. It's not the smoothest on most terrains and has a habit to sway on bumps. The most recent version comes with an improved seat and more padding, but it's still not as premium as the first.

In general, we recommend single stroller with bench seat-handed strollers with brakes that are easy to lock and a spacious undercarriage that can be used for storage. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for greater comfort, as well as a cup holder that is convenient for parents, and an easy footbrake to use.

Our top picks are based upon extensive testing conducted by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test the strollers at our New York City lab and on the streets of the city. We also donate eight of the strollers we review to local families in need.

Safety

You'll need a stroller to keep up with your travels, no matter if you're traveling for business or pleasure. These strollers are lightweight and can fold and store in tight spaces so you can navigate through busy streets and airport terminals easily. They can also accommodate car seats, making them the perfect travel family travel companion.

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the top single-hand fold strollers you can find. It folds up in just four seconds using just one hand, however it does take a few seconds to click into place. Its small frame can be easily tucked away in overhead bins and can be rolled as luggage along 19-inch airplane aisles. The canopy offers ample protection from the sun, and the fabric is tough. There are two cup holders, and an extra tray for the parent.

Another great single-hand fold stroller is the Uppababy Cruz. It has a spacious seat that has a deep reclining position and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design allows it to be maneuvered even on rough surfaces. The front wheels are made for India's rocky roads, and it has an insulated brake to make stopping a breeze. The Cruz is not suited for long walks because it does not come with an accessory strap for carrying.

Finally, the Mountain Buggy Nano is a ideal choice for those looking for a stroller with a single hand that is also lightweight and compact. It is a bit heavier than other options but it weighs just 16 pounds. It can fit in the overhead compartments of most planes. The basket can hold bags for diapers and the seat reclines to two positions.

The Quick is a great stroller that comes with premium features and a slim design. It weighs just 12.8 pounds. Its streamlined chassis can accommodate 30 different infant car seats and toddlers up to 50 lb and is compatible with most infant carriers and carrycots. It comes with a strap to carry it on your shoulder.
