How to Choose a Travel StrollerIf you travel frequently or if your daily strolls include a short out-and-back stroll and lots of stops at the local park take a look at a light stroller that you can pack. They're extremely easy to fold and fit easily into trunks, buses, trains, and planes.The Nuna Trvl is compact and can fit in the overhead bins of most planes. It's also super easy to assemble and has excellent features, including an easy, adjustable seat.Easy to AssembleThe stroller is simple to put together, and is extremely easy to use. The frame folds and opens using only one hand. The seat reclines to two different positions. The bumper bar is simple to replace and remove and the handlebar is comfortable and looks good. However, the absence of storage space means that parents will have to carry a large diaper bag or drape it over the handle (against the advice of a professional).This lightweight stroller has sharp turns and can roll effortlessly on any surface. It has larger foam-filled wheels than other models we've tested which gives it a bit more bounce and more stability. Some parents have complained that the tires are not durable.The stroller is small enough to fit into the overhead bins of most planes, and weighs just 13 pounds. Its basic design means it is not equipped with many additional options, but it's an ideal choice for frequent travelers. It's important to keep in mind that collapsible strollers are considered "carry-on" baggage and might require checking if your airline has tight baggage restrictions.If you travel frequently it could be beneficial to invest in a stroller that has advanced features. These higher-end strollers typically have more storage options including large underseat bins, and are easier to assemble and disassemble. Many strollers have adjustable harnesses, and other safety features you may not find on less basic models. Check with your airline to determine what their policies are regarding strollers, and follow them to the letter. It is also essential to read the user manual for your stroller, especially those that deal with safety. Make sure you know how to use the straps correctly and ensure they are secured. Remember to use your stroller only in a safe pace and to never leave your child alone. This will minimize the risk of injuries if the stroller is accidentally tipped over or steers off-course.Easy to FoldOne of the key features of a good stroller is the fact that it folds into a compact and manageable package. Some models do this very well, such as the light JOOVY TRVL, which folded in less than four seconds during our tests and can stand up when folded. This makes it simple to store and carry around in a closet or trunk.The UPPAbaby MINU V2 travel stroller is a similar lightweight, easy-to fold stroller. It weighs less than 17 pounds and comes with a large underseat basket which can hold a backpack or diaper bag. The reversible footrest can be used as a handle to collapse the stroller. This feature was a real boon during our testing however it also exposed the stroller to damage from the airline when one of our editors was not able to close it when checking the stroller with her flight. The baggage handler ripped the footrest and the UPPAbaby warranty will not cover damages caused by the airline.As opposed to umbrella strollers of the other travel strollers in our review use a variety of hinges and joints to fold into smaller, more compact size. For instance the UPPAbaby G-Luxe folds in only three seconds and stands upright when it's done. However, the ring and button combination can be difficult to master and requires you to be able to time it just right.Think about how the stroller could be locked in its closed, compacted position. Certain models require you to pull down on a handle or lever situated close to the rear wheels, while others have red buckles that need to be connected. Check the owner's guide for more information on how each model's locking mechanism operates.If you do encounter a stroller that's difficult to close Try using a product such as baby oil or WD-40 for lubricating the joints and connections. If it doesn't work, you can contact the customer service of the manufacturer or try a stroller repair service. However, don't force it; forcing a stroller that isn't intended to be closed may cause damage or injuries to you and your child.Easy to carryIt's crucial to be able to easily access your stroller whether you plan to do errands for the day or embark on an excursion with your family. Travel strollers fold into a compact size and are lightweight and easy to carry and transport. They can be stored in your car, or even in a closet in your home. Some models come with a storage bag for easy transport and protection.Before you pick a stroller for your travels think about how you intend to use it. Will it accompany you on your travels or be used for road trip visits, or be used regularly in the city? This will help you narrow down your options. You can cut down on time and energy by choosing a travel stroller compatible with car seats if traveling with a child. Look for double pram with an extra large rear seat for more legroom and comfort if you have children.A quality travel stroller should be small and lightweight enough to fit into the overhead bins of airplanes. However, consult with your airline prior to you purchase to make sure it's in line with their size and policies. A lot of airlines will gate-check strollers that are too big to fit in the cabin. Others will send them to the hold if they exceed their baggage allowance.If you intend to use your stroller frequently, select one with wheels that are a bit smaller and more durable than the wheels used on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are easier to maneuver and less likely to get damaged or punctured. You might want to consider adding an additional set of wheel covers to provide additional protection.Invest in a lock if you plan to take your travel stroller off-guard to the beach or other public places. Attaching a portable umbrella to your stroller will offer additional sun protection. You can attach 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 can allow you to keep water bottles and snacks near by.Easy to storeThe best travel strollers can be easily maintained and stored. To keep your stroller clean and ready for use, begin by vacuuming all surfaces to eliminate any loose dirt and crumbs. If there are stains, a damp cloth with mild detergent and warm water will work. A toothbrush is a great option in places that are difficult to reach. For parts that aren't made of fabric, like the handlebars and wheels, a damp, clean cloth is enough, though it's wise to lubricate moving components regularly to prevent rust.Some travel strollers like the chit-chat stroller come with an area for parents to store their personal things, and one or two cup holders. This makes it easier to carry your essentials on the move. Other models offer a more complete parent tray, including a slot for a laptop or tablet. These features do more than aid parents in staying organized, but they can reduce stress during long trips.Another factor to consider when selecting a stroller for travel is its ability to fold up and fit in tight spaces, such as an airplane overhead bin or on public transport. This is why many parents prefer strollers that fold and fit into its own bag instead of having to be checked at the gate with baggage.Consider how much room you have at home when evaluating strollers. A smaller travel stroller is the best choice if you have limited space. However, if you plan on frequent excursions that require the stroller to be carried by car or public transportation, a larger product with better performance for everyday use and storage might be more suitable.Some strollers can be purchased as part of the travel package which includes a car seat for children. The price is the similar or less than buying the items separately. This is a good option however it is essential that you keep in mind that the quality of strollers included in these bundles is likely to be lower than standalone models. Therefore, we recommend considering these options only as an option last option.
