How to Choose a Travel Stroller Consider a foldable, lightweight stroller if you travel often or if you stroll around the park frequently. They're incredibly easy to fold and easily fit into trunks, buses trains, and planes. The Nuna Trvl is packed to a compact size and fits in the overhead bin of many planes. It's also very easy to assemble and has excellent features, including a simple, adjustable reclining seat. Easy to Assemble This stroller is easy to put together and also very easy to use. The frame opens and folds down with one hand, and the seat reclines in two different positions. The bumper bar is easy to replace and remove and the handlebar is comfortable and looks good. The lack of storage means that parents have to carry a large bag, or drape it carefully over the handle, which is against the advice of a professional. This stroller is light and easy to move effortlessly across all surfaces, even rough sidewalks, and makes quick turns. It has bigger foam-filled rubber wheels than the other models we have tested. This gives it more bounce and stability. However some parents have said that the tires are flimsy. The stroller is compact enough to fit in the overhead bins of many planes, and weighs just 13 pounds. Its basic design means it has few additional features, but is still an ideal choice for frequent travelers. It's important to remember, however, that strollers that fold up are considered “carry-on” baggage and could require a check in the event of a tight baggage restrictions. If you travel frequently it may be a good idea to invest more money in a stroller that has advanced features. These higher-end models typically provide more storage options, including large underseat baskets, and are typically easier to assemble and fold. Many strollers come with adjustable harnesses, as well as other safety features you may not find on more basic models. Make sure you check with your airline to know their policies regarding checking strollers, and always adhere to their guidelines to the letter to avoid any surprises. It is also essential to read your stroller's manual and especially the sections related to safety. In particular, be sure that you know how to secure the straps and to always use them correctly. Always supervise your child and only use the stroller at a steady pace. This will reduce the risk of injury if your stroller is accidentally tipped or swerves off-course. Easy to Fold One of the keys to a great stroller for travel is that it folds down into a compact and manageable package. Certain models can do this well, such as the light JOOVY TRVL which folded down in just four seconds during our tests and can stand up in its folded state. That makes it easy to store in a closet or trunk and to carry on plane's overhead bins. The UPPAbaby MINU V2 travel stroller is another lightweight, easy-to-fold stroller. It weighs less than 17 pounds and has a large underseat basket that can hold a large backpack or diaper bag. The footrest that is reversible can double as a handle when the stroller is in its folded position. This feature was great during our testing but unfortunately it left the stroller susceptible to damage by airlines when one of our editors forgot it closed while checking it in with her flight. The baggage handler broke off the footrest and the UPPAbaby warranty won't cover airline damage. The majority of the strollers we tested like umbrella strollers, utilize hinges and joints in order to fold into a more squared package. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe, for example, folds in just three seconds, and then stands up after. However the ring and button combination isn't always easy and requires you to time it perfectly. Consider how the stroller might be locked into its compacted, closed position. Some models require you to pull down on a handle or lever situated close to the rear wheels, while others have red buckles that have to be connected. Read the owner's guide for more details on how each model's locking mechanism works. If you encounter a stroller which is difficult to close, use WD-40 or baby oil to lubricate the joints and connections. If that doesn't work, consult the manufacturer's customer support or consider the repair service for your stroller. Don't force it. pushing a stroller that's not intended to be closed may cause damage or injury to you and your child. Easy to Carry It's important that you can quickly access your stroller whether you're planning to go on errands during the day or take a family trip. Travel strollers fold down into a compact size and are lightweight, making them easy to carry and transport. They can be tucked away in your car, or in a closet in your home. Some models even include a storage bag for easy transport and protection. Think about how you will use the stroller prior to deciding on one. Will it accompany you on airplane trips or be used on road trips or will it be used frequently in the city? This will help you narrow your options. If you're traveling with a child, look for a travel stroller that's compatible with car seats to save time and stress. If you have a toddler, consider the model with a bigger rear seat to provide more comfort and legroom. A great travel stroller must be small and lightweight enough to fit in overhead bins on airplanes. However, consult with your airline prior to you buy to ensure it is in line with their dimensions and guidelines. Many airlines will gate-check strollers that are too large to fit into the cabin. Some airlines will send strollers to the hold in the event that their baggage allowance has been exceeded. If you intend to use your stroller often, you should choose a model that has wheels that are a bit smaller and more durable than the wheels that are found on standard strollers. The wheels that are smaller will be more maneuverable and less prone to damage or puncture. You may also wish to add some wheel covers for extra protection. If you're taking your stroller to the beach or other public areas in which it's unattended, you should invest in a lock to ensure it's secure. It's also an excellent idea to attach a portable umbrella to your stroller for extra sun protection. You can clip a utility bag to the handlebar to do your shopping without hassle or carry an aloe vera bottle. A set of carabiners in the front of your stroller will let you keep water bottles and snacks close to hand. Easy to Store The best strollers for travel are easy to maintain and store. Begin by vacuuming the stroller thoroughly to remove any loose dirt or crumbs. If there are compact stroller , using a damp cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water will work. A toothbrush is useful for places that are difficult to reach. For non-fabric parts of the stroller, like the wheels and handlebars, a damp, clean cloth is enough however it is recommended to lubricate moving components regularly to avoid rust. Some strollers for travel, like the chit-chat light stroller come with an area for parents to store their personal items, and one or two cup holders. This allows you to carry your essentials on the move. Other models come with a complete parent tray, including slots for laptops or tablet. In addition to keeping parents well-organized, these features can help ease stress during long trips. A quality travel stroller is one that can fold up and fit in small spaces like the overhead bin of an airplane, or on public transport. Many parents prefer strollers that fold and stored in a carry bag, rather than having to gate-check them using luggage. When evaluating strollers for storage space, be sure to think about the space you have at home, too. A smaller travel stroller is the best choice if you have limited space. If you plan on frequent trips that require the stroller to be carried by public transportation or a car, a larger product with better performance for everyday use and storage could be better suited. Certain strollers are sold as part of a travel system which includes a car seat and can be purchased at the same price or less than buying the items on their own. While this is a great option, it's important to note that the quality of the stroller in these bundles is often considered to be less than standalone models. This is why we recommend considering these options only as an option last resort.
