A
Single Hand Fold Stroller Is Easy to Use and Fits Into Tight Spaces
A stroller should be easy to maneuver and can fit into tiny spaces. This
single jogging stroller-hand fold model can do both very well and is a great choice for travel.
It also has a large undercarriage basket, a reclining seat, and a large canopy that has a peek-a-boo window. The only issue is that it won't fit into the overhead bins.
Features
If you're traveling to work or for vacation, choosing the right stroller for your child will determine the success or failure of your journey. Take into consideration the weight and age of your child, in addition to features like a reclining recline and ample storage, and protection from the weather. Choose a model you can fold and unfold with one hand. This is especially important if you are holding your child's small size.
We loved the egg2's small fold and its light, sturdy feel. It also features an adjustable reclining mechanism, a spacious basket under the seat, and the handbar is extremely comfortable. The only drawbacks are the slightly stiff leg rest and the limited storage space. The leg rest basket as well as the leg rests are both able to fit into inside a compact bag however, to do this you'll need to take off the cushion from the seat. The seat does not come with an ample pocket. This can be frustrating when trying to manage multiple bags and a squirmy child.
If you're looking for a affordable single-handle model, look into the GB Qbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways such as one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. It does not have the same amount of undercarriage storage space as other models and its canopy is smaller.
In our tests the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth and easy ride over most surfaces. It was easy to roll over paved sidewalks and shag carpet, and it performed well in our test of durability. It also comes with a range of customization options including a bassinet for newborns and riding boards.
The stroller's lightweight design can be folded in half to fit inside the overhead bin of a train or plane. The
stroller single is modern and sleek design, with a small pocket on the front to store parents' phones and a bigger pocket at the back to store larger bags or weekenders. The cushioned seat is well designed, and the buckle system is equipped with magnetic buckles that are simple to use and fast to secure, even with a toddler in the back. It's also one of the few models we have tested with a foot brake, which allows you to stop it whenever needed.
Design
If you are planning to take a stroller on your trip pick one that is easy to fold and carry and transport with other luggage. Some of these strollers come with straps or a carrying case that allows you to sling them over your shoulder. These models are great for long hours of sightseeing on vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transport.
Consider features such as the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when choosing a single-hand stroller that folds. Think about whether you need a parent tray or an adjustable legrest and how much weight your stroller can handle.
The top pick of GH's editors for a one-handed stroller is the Nuna Trvl. It's a light stroller that is easy to handle, comes with a an incredibly comfortable reclining seat, as well as an ample storage bag. It's also stylish and is able to roll smoothly on all surfaces and can make smooth turns.
The GB Qbit+ All City is another excellent choice for a light and compact stroller that's easy to carry. It's akin to the Nuna Trvl however it's slightly more affordable, and has a few extra convenience features, such as an adjustable leg rest as well as an easier reclining system that goes nearly all the way back.
Other notable lightweight travel 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 has a self-standing fold that is one-handed and compatible with six different car seat brands. It's a bit heavier than other top models in this class However, its front wheel could be more effective at absorption of bumps.
The UPPAbaby Mini comes with many of the same features of the larger prams made by the brand, but it folds more compactly. It can fit in the majority of overhead bins found on airplanes. Its seat padding is substantial and its recline feature has two settings that are simple to operate. It comes with a neat, unstructured storage pouch in the rear and a lockable latch that allows it to fold while in transport.
Weight
This stroller folds into a compact, lightweight bag that can be tucked away in overhead bins of airlines, making it perfect for air travel. It also comes with a large storage bag and a child tray. It does have some disadvantages, like the restricted recline (it can only be lowered to a very slight angle) and instructions in pictures instead of words. However it is an excellent option for families looking for a lightweight, simple stroller.
The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that's especially suited for families traveling. It's light (13.7 pounds), has a small, compact fold that allows it to easily fit into airplane aisles and overhead bins, and comes with decent features for the money. It's compatible with a variety of car seat brands and is among the lightest travel strollers on the market.
It's not easy to maneuver. Its small base and the limited storage under the car can make it unsuitable for longer trips or running errands. It's also not the smoothest rider on the majority of terrain and is prone to roll on bumps. The latest version comes with a more comfortable and well cushioned seats, but it's still not as high-end.
In general, we prefer single-handed strollers with brakes that are easy to lock and a spacious undercarriage to store things. We also recommend a cushioned seat and harness for comfort, as well as a cup holder that is suitable for parents, and an easy footbrake to use.
Our top picks are based on extensive testing done by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test the strollers at our New York City lab and on city streets. We also donate eight strollers that we test to local families who are in need.

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the best single-hand fold strollers you can find. It folds up in just four seconds with one hand. However, it takes only a few seconds to snap the stroller into place. Its narrow frame allows it to be tucked away in overhead bins and be carried down 19-inch aisles as luggage. The fabric is durable and the canopy provides plenty of sun protection. There are two cup holders and an extra tray for the parent.
The Uppababy Cruz is a great stroller that folds by only one hand. It has a wide seat with a deep recline and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design is simple to maneuver even on rough surfaces. The front wheels are designed for India's rough roads, and it comes with a padded linked brake to make stopping a breeze. The Cruz is not suitable for long walks because it does not have an carrying strap.
Lastly, the Mountain
buggy single Nano is a ideal option for those who want an easy-to-fold stroller that is also compact and light. It is a little heavier than other strollers, but still weighs under 16 pounds. It is able to fit in the overhead compartments on most planes.
