How to Choose pushchairsandprams Consider a foldable, lightweight stroller if your travels are frequent or if you stroll through the park often. They're extremely easy to fold and fit comfortably into buses, trunks, planes, and trains. The Nuna Trvl packs down to a small size and fits in the overhead bin of many planes. It's also very easy to put together and comes with excellent features, including the simple, adjustable seat. Easy to Assemble Like the name suggests, this stroller was designed to be simple to assemble and use. The frame opens and folds using just one hand. The seat reclines to two different positions. The bumper bar is simple to remove and replace and the handlebar feels and looks good. The lack of storage on the handle means that parents must carry a large bag, or drape it carefully over the handle, which is against expert advice. This stroller is light and easy to move effortlessly across every surface, including rough sidewalks, and makes quick turns. It has larger foam filled rubber wheels than the other models we tested. This gives it more bounce and stability. However some parents have complained that the tires are flimsy. The stroller is compact enough to fit into the overhead bins on most planes, and weighs just 13 pounds. Its minimalist design means it comes with a few features, but it's a solid option for frequent flyers. It's important to keep in mind, however, that collapsible strollers are considered “carry-on” baggage and might require checking in the event of a tight baggage restrictions. If you travel frequently, it might make sense to invest a bit more in a stroller that has advanced features. These strollers that are more expensive typically come with more storage options, such as large underseat bins, and are easier to assemble and fold. Many strollers come with adjustable harnesses as well as other safety features that you might not find on less basic models. Make sure to check with your airline to find out what their policies are on strollers and follow them to the letter. It is also essential to read the stroller's manual, especially any sections pertaining to safety. Particularly, make sure that you know how to attach the straps and make sure you are using them in the correct way. Also, be sure to only use your stroller in a safe pace and to never leave your child unattended. This will reduce the chance of injury if your stroller falls over or veers. Easy to Fold A good travel stroller must fold into a compact, easily able package. Some models are very good at this, such as the JOOVY, a lightweight TRVL which folded in only four seconds during our tests. It also can be able to stand when folded. This makes it easy to store and transport in a trunk or closet. The UPPAbaby MINU V2 is another easy-to-fold travel stroller that weighs less than 17 pounds and features an ample underseat storage basket that can be used to store a backpack or diaper bag. Its reversible footrest doubles as a handle when the stroller is in its folded position. This feature was a huge hit during our testing, but unfortunately it left the stroller at risk of being damaged by airlines when one of our editors forgot to keep it closed while checking it in with her flight. The baggage handler ripped the footrest off and the UPPAbaby warranty won't cover such damages caused by the airline. As opposed to umbrella strollers of the other strollers in our review make use of a variety hinges and joints to fold up into a more squarish package. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe, for instance, folds in less than three seconds, and stands up when done. However the button/ring combination can be finicky and you must time it perfectly. Consider how the stroller might be locked into its closed, compacted position. Some models require pulling down the handle or lever close to the rear wheels, while others have red straps that must be joined. Check the owner's guide for more details about how each model's locking mechanism works. If you encounter a stroller that is difficult to close, use WD-40 or baby oil to grease all joints and connections. If this doesn't help then you should contact the manufacturer or the stroller company. But don't try to make it close. Forcing a stroller to close when it isn't intended to close it can harm it and cause injury to both you and your child. Easy to carry It's essential that you easily access your stroller whether you're planning to run errands for a day or take an excursion with the family. Travel strollers are compact and light, making them easy to carry and transport. They can also be stored in your car or the closet at home. Some models even come with an organizer bag for simple transport and protection. Think about how you will use the stroller prior to deciding on one. Are you planning to use it for roads, for plane trips, or in your daily life? This will help you narrow your options. You can save time and energy by selecting a stroller for travel that is compatible with car seats if you're traveling with children. You should consider a stroller with a larger rear-seat to provide more comfort and legroom if you have children. A great travel stroller must be small and lightweight enough to fit in the overhead bins on airplanes. However, make sure to check with your airline prior to you purchase to make sure it's in line with their size and guidelines. Many airlines will check strollers for gate-checks if they are too large to fit in the cabin. Some airlines will send strollers to the hold if their baggage allowance is exceeded. If you'll be using your travel stroller frequently opt for a model with wheels that are smaller and more durable than those on traditional strollers. The smaller wheels are easier to maneuver, and less likely to be damaged or punctured. You may want to add two wheel covers to provide additional protection. Invest in a lock in case you intend to take your stroller off-guard to the beach or other public places. Attaching a portable umbrella onto your stroller will give you additional sun protection. You can also attach a utility tote to the handlebar for hands-free shopping or to carry an aloe vera bottle. A set of carabiners at the front of your stroller is a great way to keep essentials like water bottles and snacks to hand. Easy to store The most reliable strollers for travel can be easily maintained and stored. Start by vacuuming the stroller to get rid of any loose dirt or crumbs. If there are stains, an abrasive cloth with mild detergent and warm water ought to work. For areas that are difficult to reach, a toothbrush can also be helpful. For parts that aren't made of fabric, like the handlebars and wheels, a damp, clean cloth is enough, though it's wise to regularly lubricate moving parts to prevent the rust from developing. Some strollers for travel, like the chit-chat light stroller come with a tray for parents to store personal things, and two or three cup holders. This makes it easier to carry your essentials traveling. Other models offer a more complete tray for parents, with slots for laptops or tablet. In addition to keeping parents well-organized, these features can help reduce stress during long trips. Another factor to consider when selecting a stroller for travel is the capacity to fold up and fit in small spaces, like an overhead bin on airplanes or on public transport. For this reason, many parents opt for strollers that fold up and fit into its own bag instead of having to be checked at the gate with baggage. When evaluating strollers for storage capacity, make sure to take into consideration the space you have at home too. If you have a small amount of room, a smaller travel stroller could be your best option. But, if you intend for frequent trips that require the stroller to be carried via car or public transportation A larger model with better performance for everyday use and storage might be more suitable. Some strollers are available as part of a travel system that includes a car seat. They can be purchased at the same price or less than buying the products separately. This is a great option, but it's important to keep in mind that the quality of strollers in these bundles is likely to be less than standalone models. We recommend that you only consider these options as a last resort.
