We were impressed by the egg2's compact fold and its light, sturdy feel. It also has a great padded handlebar, adjustable recline mechanism, and an ample underseat basket. The only drawbacks are the stiff leg rest and limited storage space. The leg rest and basket can fit a small tote bag, but you'll have remove the cushion in order to do so. The seat doesn't have a large-sized compartment which can be a hassle when you're trying to carry multiple bags and a squirmy kiddo.

If you're looking for a more economical cheap single stroller-handle, then look into the Qbit+ All from GB City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in many ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. However, it doesn't have as much storage space under the vehicle and its canopy is smaller than some other models we tested.

In our tests, we were impressed by the GB Qbit+ All City's smooth ride on most surfaces. It was able to roll smoothly over paved sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel and held up well in our durability tests.

Other notable lightweight 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, one-handed fold and is compatible with six car seat brands. It's heavier than the other top models in this category However, its front wheel may be better at absorption of bumps.

The UPPAbaby Minu has many of the same functions as the larger prams of the brand, but it folds more compactly and can fit in most airplane overhead bins. The seat padding is hefty and its recline feature comes with two settings that are simple to use. It has a nice unstructured storage compartment at the rear, and a locking latch that keeps it folded while in transport.

This compact stroller folds into a very compact, lightweight package and can fit in overhead bins for airlines which makes it ideal for air travel. It also comes with an ample storage basket as well as a child tray. It does have some disadvantages, like the only a limited recline (it can only be lowered down to a slightly inclined angle) and directions in pictures instead of words. However, it is a good option for families who want a lightweight, simple stroller.

The BabyZen YoYo2 stroller is a popular choice for those who travel. It's extremely light (13.7 pounds) and has a compact, compact fold that makes it easy to squeeze into overhead bins, and offers decent features for its price. It's compatible with numerous car seat brands, and is one of the lightest strollers available.

It is not easy to maneuver. It has a narrow base and limited undercarriage storage space, which could limit its utility for longer trips or errands. It's not the smoothest on most surfaces and has a habit of rocking on bumps. The latest model has a more comfortable and cushioned seat, but it's still not as luxurious.

We recommend single-handed strollers with brakes that can be locked easily and an undercarriage that is large enough to store things in. We also recommend a cushioned seat and harness for greater comfort and a cup holder that is convenient for parents, and a footbrake that is simple to use.

Our top picks are based on extensive testing conducted by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test strollers both in our New York City laboratory and on city streets. We also donate eight strollers we review to local families who are in need.
