Cheap Single Pushchairs

If you're on a budget and don't want a stroller that doubles as a car seat carrier The Babyzen Yoyo is a good choice. It comes with a flip-flop-friendly one-step footbrake.

It's also easy to push and feels sturdy in navigating kerbs or woodland pathways. Additionally, it's easy to fold.

1. Babyzen YOYO2

The Babyzen YOYO2 has built a reputation as the ultimate light-weight buggy for city dwellers and jet-setters alike, thanks to its extremely nimble handling and foldable design that can be tucked away in aeroplane overhead luggage. The latest version comes with independent suspension on all four wheels made from Hytrel elastomer to 'perfectly navigate through all kinds of surfaces and terrain'.

The YOYO2 frame base with a curved fabric bassinet as well as a the 6+ month color pack combine to create a stylish pushchair that's easy to look at, with a subtle but elegant design and a tasteful branding. The frame's weight alone is just over a kilogram and is so light you can easily lift it from the box (and do so one-handed).

The hood, as an example, snaps on the YOYO2 in a calm manner. It is also machine washable at 30 degrees which helps prevent staining caused by smushed and mashed rice cakes and carrot puffs. It can be used as a pram from birth with the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted to a stroller from 6 months old by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.

2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore

The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a great option for parents looking for a versatile stroller wagon. The Evenflo Xplore can be converted from a stroller to an actual wagon by flipping the handle. Parents can then select which one is the best fit for their needs. The wagon is able to accommodate two or more children between 6 months to 5 years old. It comes with a large storage basket that can accommodate everything you need while on the go.

The Xplore has dual canopies which can rotate from front to back, offering adequate sun protection for the entire family. It has a smaller footprint than other wagons. This may not be suitable for long journeys or napping.

The frame on the Xplore feels sturdy and solid, although it does not have the same flexibility as other wagons we tested. It is also more difficult to fold than some of the other models, and it does not close tightly when folded. It is easy to maneuver however, and it is able to fit through narrow 28 inches doors.

3. Delta Children LX Side-by-Side

This Delta Children bare-bones travel stroller is a great option for parents looking for a secondary stroller that's affordable. It scored highly in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and fold dimensions. This means it's lightweight and compact when folded and easy to carry and put in a trunk for your car. It also comes with an adjustable recline seat that can be adjusted in multiple positions and cup holders for the parent. Other key features include 360-degree shock absorbing front wheels, as well as two large hanging storage bags.

In our push and turn test it performed better than many of the other strollers of a similar price we tried, but it's not the easiest to maneuver on uneven ground or through narrow doors. The sunshades on it were among the tiniest of strollers we tested. They only cover the top and do not have peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have significantly larger sunshades.

It took us under 3 minutes to put together the Delta with a manual. All of the components required tools. It is missing certain features we consider essential for double strollers. These include an extra-large basket, reclining seats and leg rests that can be adjusted.

4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

The Zelia is Maxi-Cosi's newest pushchair and is marketed as an urban travel system. It is designed to take baby from birth up to approximately 3.5 years old, and can be converted between a seat and a carrycot with a few clicks. It can also be used with Maxi-Cosi capsule car seats and comes with the lightweight Mico 30 infant car seat, stay-in-car base and a reversible baby carriage.

It's really easy to maneuver, and the one-hand recline of the seat and the super large shopping basket make it easy for parents to get their child in and out of the seat quickly. This narrow pushchair single handled everyday bumps and doorways effortlessly.

The front wheels can be locked into forward positions or allow them to swivel which can be helpful when crossing rough terrain. We allowed the front wheels to swivel while walking along an uneven path. It was able to handle this well, although it seemed a little more bumpy.

5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2

Baby Jogger is most well-known for its 3-wheeled all-terrain, single jogging stroller strollers. But they also manufacture a vast range of 4-wheeler pushchairs. City Tour 2 is their most well-known model. It is simple to use and folds down small enough to fit in the car boot, even with the carrycot attached.

It weighs more than other strollers we've tried, but because it has composite wheels made of rubber it feels sturdy and well-constructed. It is easy to maneuver on different terrains, and even with two children as well as a shopping bag and other things.

The carrycot and seat both have hoods that can be pulled down to reveal UV50+ sun canopy extensions. They are durable and waterproof, in contrast to other prams hoods which can be blown back onto toddlers' faces.

It doesn't have a lot of storage space, but it does have a large basket deep enough to hold a changing bag or a large amount of groceries. It can also be linked with the Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a travel system for infants up to 20 pounds (car seat and adapters are sold separately). The City Tour 2 is a ideal choice for those looking to take a stroller on the move.

6. Nuna Mixx Next

When the Nuna Mixx first came onto the scene, it instantly captured the hearts of parents everywhere. It is an aluminium-framed stroller that can be used from infant's earliest days through. It is a standout model with many unique features, like the capacity of the seat to flip between the parent and the world and a huge UPF50+ canopy with an eye shade that flips out, and an adjustable handlebar.

The wheels are strong and filled with foam, which reduces the risk of punctures. The chassis also has built-in suspension that eases the pain of bumpy terrain. Our tester found it smooth to push and was able to manoeuvre it through tight streets with ease.

It folds automatically and locks in just four steps. It can also be folded and raised for easier transportation down the stairs or in the trunk of the car. It also comes equipped with the option to add a car seat and a carrycot using the adaptors that come with it. The brakes are simple to use using a Single Pushchair sale action color coded and flip-flop compatible.

7. Babyzen Duet

This single buggy pushchair that is budget-friendly is surprisingly easy to maneuver and features excellent dual suspension, a one-hand fold and a convenient carry strap. It's also lightweight and durable. The seat can be reclined to many different positions. It also has a double-breathable mattress that is suitable for babies.

The canopy/seat comes with two big sun visors that are fixed or removed. Both are UPF50+. However the toggle closure isn't ideal because it's not as quiet as Velcro and can wake sleepy babies.

The Duet is a side-by-side single stroller with bench seat and can be adapted to accommodate twins or siblings (up to a maximum of 22kg per seat). It is compatible with two infant car seat and some carrycots. In twin mode, the seats can face one another or turn around and face parents, theoretically cutting down on sibling rivalries over who gets to sit with dad and mom. It comes with a big gear tray, a bottle holder and snack trays. It also has an automatic frame lock and a compact fold.

8. Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2.

The Thule Urban Glide 2 is a jogger designed for parents who want to keep active. It's one of the lightest strollers for running that you can buy for your child. It also comes with excellent safety features, such as the 5-point safety harness and wrist safety straps. It also has an innovative twist hand brake that's different from the lever type found on competing models.

The seat is well-padded and has plenty of room to sit in, however the seat's depth is not as deep as other joggers that we've tested (it's approximately 10"). The storage bin is equipped with an enclosed zipper to help keep things secure. It can hold up to 10 pounds that is enough for most diaper bags.

The Urban Glide 2 doesn't come with adapters to fit most bassinets and infant car seats, but you can use them from the first day with adapters that will fit brands such as BOB, Graco Combi Evenflo Britax UPPAbaby. It's simple to fold and assemble in just 5-10 minutes with no tools. The manual is simple to read and contains a variety of languages.
