These higher-end models typically offer more storage options, such as large underseat baskets, and they're generally easier to put together and fold. Many of these strollers also come with adjustable harnesses, as well as other safety features you might not find on more basic models.

Easy to Fold

One of the most important aspects of a great stroller for travel is that it folds into a compact and manageable package.

The UPPAbaby MINU V2 travel stroller is a lightweight, easy-to-fold stroller. It weighs less than 17 pounds and comes with an enormous underseat basket that can accommodate a large backpack or diaper bag. The footrest that can be reversible can also be used as a handle for folding the stroller. This feature was a real benefit during our testing, but unfortunately it also exposed the stroller to damage from the airline when one of our editors was not able to close it when making sure the stroller was closed for her flight. The baggage handler ripped the footrest off, and the UPPAbaby warranty will not cover damage caused by an airline.

Unlike umbrella strollers, most of the other travel strollers in our review make use of a variety hinges and joints to fold up into an even more compact package. For example the UPPAbaby G-Luxe folds in three seconds and then stands up after it's folded, but its button/ring combination is finicky and requires you to be able to time it perfectly.

You should also consider the method by which the stroller locks in its compact, closed position. Certain models require you to pull down on a lever or handle situated close to the rear wheels while others have red buckles that must be connected. It's a good idea to check the owner's manual for details on each model's locking mechanism and how it operates.

If you come across a stroller that is difficult to close, use baby oil or WD-40 to lubricate all the joints and connections. If you're not successful, contact the manufacturer's customer support or consider a stroller repair service. However, don't force it; forcing a stroller that isn't intended to be closed may damage it or cause injury to you and your child.

If you plan to use your stroller often, you should choose a model that has wheels that are a bit smaller and more durable than those used on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are easier to maneuver and less likely to get damaged or punctured. You may want to add an additional set of wheel covers for additional protection.

If you're taking your stroller to the beach or to other public places where it will be left unattended, invest in locks to ensure it's secure. Attaching a portable umbrella onto your stroller will give you additional sun protection. You can attach a utility bag onto the handlebar to complete your shopping without hands or carry an aloe Vera bottle. Finally, a set of carabiners at the front of your stroller is an excellent way to keep things like water bottles and snacks at the ready.

When you are evaluating strollers based on their storage space, be sure to consider how much space you have at home as well. A smaller stroller for travel is the best choice if you have limited space. If you plan to take the stroller on regular trips that require it to be transported via public transportation or a car and a larger stroller with more storage capacity and a better performance for everyday use may be a better choice.

Some strollers are available as part of a travel package that includes a child car seat. The cost is similar or less than buying the products on their own. While this is a convenient option, it's important to note that the quality of the stroller in these bundles is often considered to be lower than standalone models. We suggest that you only consider these options as a last resort.
