cheap Single pushchair Single Pushchairs

If you're on a budget and don't want a stroller that doubles as car seat carriers, the Babyzen Yoyo is a good choice. It has a flip-flop friendly one-step footbrake.

It's also easy to push and feels sturdy when you're navigating kerbs and woodland paths. Additionally, it's easy to fold.

1. Babyzen YOYO2

The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned itself a reputation as the ultimate light-weight buggy for city dwellers and jet-setters alike, thanks to its nimble maneuverability and fold-down that fits into the overhead luggage of aeroplanes. The latest version comes with independent suspension on all four wheels, made from Hytrel elastomer to 'perfectly navigate all types of surface and terrain'.

The base YOYO2 frame, curved fabric bassinet and six-month colour pack come together to form a stylish pushchair that is easy on the eye with a subtle yet elegant design and a tasteful branding. The frame's weight alone is just under a kilo and is so light you can lift it directly from the box (and do it using one hand).

The hood, for instance snaps onto the YOYO2 with a reassuring manner. It is machine washable up to 30 degrees which helps avoid the stains that result from smushed rice cakes and carrot puffs. It can be used as a pram starting from birth with the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted to a stroller after 6 months old by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.

2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore

The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a great choice for parents who want a versatile stroller wagon. It transforms from a stroller to wagon by simply turning the handle, meaning parents can select the mode they prefer for their adventure. The wagon can accommodate one or two children from 6 months to five years old. It has a large storage basket that will hold all your needs when you are on the move.

The Xplore comes with two canopy options that can rotate from front to back, offering adequate sun protection for the entire family. It also has a footwell that's not as deep or wide as other wagons, which means it might not be comfortable for longer trips or napping.

The frame on the Xplore feels solid and sturdy, although it does not have as much flex as some of the other wagons we tested. It is also more difficult than other wagons to fold and does not lock tightly when folded. It is easy to move however, and fits through doors that are narrower than 28 inches.

3. Delta Children LX Side by Side

This Delta Children bare-bones travel stroller is a great option for parents who are looking for a second stroller that is affordable. It scored highly in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and folded dimensions, meaning it is lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to lift and store into a car trunk. It also has an adjustable recline seat that can be adjusted in multiple positions and cup holders for the parent. Other features of note include 360-degree shock absorbing front wheels and two large hanging storage bags.

It performed better in our push and turn test than many of the strollers we tested, but was still difficult to maneuver over uneven ground or through narrow doors. The sunshades on it were among the smallest strollers we test. They only cover the top, and do not have peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a significantly larger canopy.

The Delta took us just over three minutes to put together using an average manual and all of the components required tools. But, it's lacking certain essential features that we think you should consider non-negotiable in a double stroller, for example, a larger basket, and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.

4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

The Zelia is Maxi-Cosi's newest pushchair and is marketed as an urban travel system. It is designed to accommodate babies from birth to approximately 3.5 years old, easily changing between a carrycot and seat by just a few clicks. It is compatible with Maxi Cosi capsule car seats. It includes a light Mico 30 infant seat, a car-base that stays in the car and reversible carriage.

The seat can be reclined with one hand, and the large shopping basket makes it simple for parents to take their child in and out. This narrow pushchair handled every day bumps and doors with ease.

The front wheels can be locked into a forward position or allow them to swivel which helps when covering rough terrain. We allowed the front wheels to rotate while walking along the stony path. It handled this reasonably well, though it did seem slightly bumpier.

5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2,

Baby Jogger is known for their 3-wheeler, all-terrain pushchairs for jogging, but they also have a wide assortment of strollers with four wheels. The City Tour 2 is one of their most sought-after models. It is easy to use and folds small enough to fit in a car boot even with the carrycot attached.

It's a little heavier than other strollers we tested but the wheels are a rubber composite, which makes it feel well-built and sturdy. It is able to maneuver effortlessly across all types of terrain and it's also a breeze to lift, even when loaded with two kids and shopping bags.

The carrycot and seat both have hoods that can be pulled down to reveal sun canopy extensions that are UV50+. They are durable and waterproof, in contrast to other hoods for prams that can be blown back into toddlers faces.

It's not the biggest of storage space, but it does have a large basket that's deep enough for a changing bag and plenty of groceries. It can also be used with the Baby Jogger car seat that is suitable for babies who weigh 20 pounds or less (car seat and adapters are sold separately). The City Tour 2 is a ideal choice for those looking to take a stroller with you on the go.

6. Nuna Mixx Next

When the Nuna Mixx first came onto the scene it stole the hearts of parents all over the world. It's a stroller made of aluminum that will be with you throughout your baby's first years and beyond. It is a standout model with many unique features, like the capacity of the seat to be flipped between parent and world facing as well as a large UPF50+ canopy with an eye shade that flips out, and an adjustable handlebar.

The wheels are strong and filled with foam, which reduces the risk of punctures and the chassis has built-in suspension that takes the sting out of bumpy terrain. Our tester found it smooth to push and was able to maneuver it through tight streets with ease.

It folds down in four easy steps and automatically locks with no fuss. It can also be folded and repositioned for easy transport down the stairs or in the boot of the car. It also comes travel system equipped with the option to include a car seat or carrycot using the included adaptors. The brakes are only one action and are color coded. They also work with flip-flops.

7. Babyzen Duet

This single infant stroller pushchair that is budget-friendly is extremely easy to use and has excellent dual suspension, a one-hand fold and a convenient carry strap. It's also very light and robust. The seat can be reclined into a variety of different positions. It also comes with a double breathable mattress that's suitable for infants.

The canopy/seat comes with two large sun visors that can be either fixed or flipped out. Both are UPF50+. The toggle closure isn't the best as it’s not as quiet as Velcro, and can cause sleepy babies to wake up.

The Duet is a side-byside stroller and can be adapted to take twins or siblings (up to 22kg maximum per seat). It is compatible with two infant car seat and some carrycots. In twin mode the seats can face each other or can turn around and face their parents, potentially cutting down on sibling fights over who sits with mom and dad. It has a huge bottle holder, a gear tray, snack trays and the ability to change mats. It also has a compact stand fold, and an automatic frame lock.

8. Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2.

The Thule Urban glide 2 is the ideal jogger for parents who love to be active. It's among the lightest running strollers that you can get for your child. It comes with amazing safety features, including five-point harnesses and a secure wrist strap. It also comes with a twist hand brake which is different than the lever type used on rival models.

The seat is well-padded and offers a large area to sit in, but the seat's depth is not as deep as other joggers we've tested (it's about 10"). The storage bin is encased with a zipper that keeps things secure. It can hold up to 10 lbs that is enough for most diaper bags.

The Urban Glide 2 isn't compatible with bassinets or infant car seats as of yet, but you can use it right from the start by purchasing adapters for most seats by brands such as BOB, Graco, Combi, Evenflo, Britax, and UPPAbaby. It is easy to fold and assemble within 5-10 minutes, without tools. The instruction manual is easy to read and contains a variety of languages.
