Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate

The strollers that are lightweight are easy to fold and operate. The best travel prams also come with a compact fold that easily fits in overhead bins or smaller car booties, and can even accommodate an infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram of choice for parents who travel, thanks to its super-lightweight design that is gate-check-friendly and its compact fold. It has a fantastic turning radius and a nearly flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

With a track record of well-designed products that are both elegant and feature-packed, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a great option for parents who wish to travel. It is extremely lightweight and folds down to a compact size for easy transport. It also comes with a front wheel lock that ensures the stroller is stable during use, and a fixed canopy that provides ample shade from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and comes with an ideal storage basket that can accommodate plenty of equipment.

The G-Luxe, in contrast to the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby line, is actually affordable. It also comes with a few extras like a cup for the parent holders, as well as a raincover. It also features a convenient one step brake system with tall handlebars, making it easier to push for parents of any height and a hand-level folding mechanism that makes it easy to store.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe features a new, robust frame design, which is reminiscent of VISTA and CRUZ strollers, and a brand new front-end design that has a single-wheeled design that increases maneuverability, and a bigger canopy, with a larger and more spacious a pop-out SPF 50+ sunshade. It also has a large storage basket as well as a back pocket that is accessible from the back.

The G-Luxe was the top performer in our noise tests, but it wasn't the top of its class in terms of performance and durability. It also had the smallest recline positions among our test models, and its rear-facing seats aren't recommended for children younger than two years old.

Although the UPPAbaby G-Luxe did not get our top umbrella stroller award, it was still a worthy contender and comes with many of the features that make our winners so loved by families. It is 16 lbs, has a tiny footprint when folded, but it is not as compact as. The Summer Infant 3D Lite is 2 lbs lighter than G-Luxe and folds to less than a quarter of its size which makes it an ideal option for parents who want a stroller that is light and is easy to move.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram delivers on its promises. It's simple to use and lightweight, while also looking elegant. It's designed to fit in with city life however, it is also suitable to travel. It's more expensive than the other choices, but it's among the few that have a rain cover.

Five Frenchmen formed BabyZen with the goal of creating a lightweight stroller designed for urban use. The YOYO2 is their most recent version. The YOYO2 is a unique folding and unfolding device that can be done with just one hand. It's also super lightweight and compact, and it can even be carried on the shoulder. It's a great option for babies and has the capacity of a bassinet. When your baby is old enough to go, it can be transformed into an infant seat. You can also add a car seat to create a travel system.

The YOYO2 is a fantastic bike with a suspension system that can take on rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a large storage basket, and it has a zip pocket large enough to fit your phone, wallet or snacks. It can be connected to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families, and is compatible with all Babyzen accessories, including a footmuff and a large shopping bag.

The only downside to the YOYO2 is that it's not ideal for long walks in the park or on cobblestones. It's a smooth ride, but it might not be as robust as a vehicle designed with rough terrain in mind. However, if you intend to use it for short city walks or to go on errands, then it should serve you perfectly well. The YOYO2 is easy to get into and out from the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit in the footwell too. It is also smaller than many people's hand luggage, so it is perfect for traveling with a child.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a light, practical stroller with many features. It can be folded into a small package to make it easy to carry and store. It is the lightest stroller we have tested and is among the top budget options available. It is not suitable for daily use because it does not have a bassinet or a car seat, but it is great for travel.

It can accommodate a toddler easily. The seat is placed almost flat to facilitate diaper changes or naps. The 5-point harness can be adjusted into three different height positions. There is a large storage basket and cup holder for parents. The canopy has 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 smoothly on smooth surfaces, but got stuck in cracks in our rough terrain testing. Its wheels are made from plastic and vibrate more than the average of our test group. It also has a smaller carry strap than the majority of our test strollers so it's a bit more difficult to carry when you're carrying a large bag or sleeping baby.

The 3Dlite folds in four seconds and then unfolds in just six. There are a few steps in the process: raising the lever in the back center to release a latch, pushing down the latch on the right back side and then pushing the handles down. While they aren't the fastest or slowest fold and unfold times of any stroller, they are nevertheless fairly quick. It has handles that are a bit taller which could pose a problem for those who are shorter.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has one major flaw that is that it doesn't come with a sunshade. It has a huge canopy but it does not provide much protection to your child when walking in front of the sun. It has a retractable visor which provides some protection when fully open but doesn't completely protect the head of your baby pram.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those who want an easy-to-use, compact stroller. This stroller is not just lightweight, but also can fold up to the size and shape of a carry-on suitcase! This is a huge plus in our book. Plus, it has a fabulous sun canopy and comes loaded with additional features like a parent console, a travel backpack/storage bag, double or single shoulder or cross-body straps, a snack tray and a weather cover!

Zoe was founded by a family, and is a firm that believes in making products for parents that are as valuable as they can be as their children develop. This philosophy is evident in their strollers, which includes a variety of models from a basic umbrella model to an expandable twin double with reclining seats. Their strollers for travel are one of the best travel pram alternatives available, and they give the most value for your buck.

We tried the Zoe Traveler to see how it stacks up against the competition in terms of user-friendliness and usability. We looked at a variety of factors that include folding and unfolding, storage and maneuverability, and safety. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold. It does require a little effort with just one hand. It's also not as smooth as its competitors. It's not the best choice for taller parents since the handlebars are only 40 inches tall. This can make it uncomfortable on long journeys.

It is important to have plenty of storage space in your stroller, especially when you travel. This is the reason for 25% of the overall score. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. A small bin can be found in the back of the car. It could fit diaper bags or coat or jacket. It's unlikely to hold an entire day's worth of items.

The seats in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the largest in our test group. The seats are padded to a moderate level and two recline settings. The recline is easily adjusted with just one hand, but it takes two hands to get it back to a straight position.
