A Single Hand Fold Stroller Is Easy to Use and Fits Into Tight Spaces

A stroller should be simple to maneuver and can fit into tiny spaces. This single-hand fold model can do both very well and is a good choice for travel.

It also comes with a huge undercarriage basket, a reclining seat and a spacious canopy with a peek-a-boo window. The only drawback is that it doesn't fit into some overhead bins.

Features

Pick the best stroller for your trip, whether you're on vacation or traveling for business. Consider the weight and age of your child, along with features such as a deep recline, ample storage space, and protection from the weather. You'll also want to select a model that's easy to fold and unfold with one hand, especially when you're carrying the child.

The egg2 was a fantastic choice for us due to its compact fold with a light weight and strong feel. It also has a great padded handlebar, adjustable recline mechanism, and a large underseat basket. The only negatives are the somewhat stiff leg rest and limited storage space. The basket and leg rest can fit a small tote bag however you'll need to take off the seat cushion to access it. The seat doesn't come with a large pocket. This can be a problem when trying to manage multiple bags and a squirmy child.

If you're looking for a more economical single umbrella stroller-handle, then check out the Qbit+ All from GB City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. However it doesn't offer as much storage under the carriage and its canopy is smaller than some other models we've tried.

During testing, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth, easy ride over most surfaces. It was a breeze to roll across shag carpets and sidewalks and also performed well in our durability test. It also offers a variety of options for customization including a bassinet attachment for a newborn and riding boards.

This lightweight stroller can be folded in half to fit into the overhead bin of a plane or train. The stroller is sleek, modern design with an encasement on the front for the phone of the parent and a bigger pocket at the back to store larger bags or weekenders. The cushioned seat is well designed, and the buckle system is equipped with magnetic buckles that are easy to use and quick to secure even with a squirmy toddler in tow. It's also one of a few models that we tested with brake feet which makes it much easier to stop if needed.

Design

If you're going to take a stroller on the go, choose a model that can be easily folded and carried along with other bags. Some of these travel strollers come with a strap or carrying case that allow you to carry them on your shoulder. These models are great for long hours of sightseeing during vacation or navigating the narrow aisles of public transport.

Think about features like the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when selecting a single-hand folding stroller. Consider whether you'd like a tray for the parents or an adjustable legrest and the amount of the weight your stroller can carry.

The top choice of GH's for a one-handed stroller is the Nuna Trvl. It's a lightweight travel stroller that is easy to maneuver, has an incredibly recline and a large storage basket. It's also beautiful and can be used on all surfaces and makes sharp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another ideal choice for a light and compact stroller. It's also easy to carry. It is similar to the Nuna Trvl, but it's slightly cheaper and has some extra convenience features. It has an adjustable legrest as well as a recline system that extends almost all the way back.

Other notable strollers that are lightweight include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a spot on our best car seat travel systems list) as well as the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and has a one-handed, self-standing fold. It's heavier than the other top models in this class However, its front wheel might be better at absorption of bumps.

The UPPAbaby Mini offers many of the same features as the larger prams made by the brand, but folds more compactly. It can fit in the majority of overhead bins on planes. Its seat padding is substantial and the recline system comes with two settings that are easy to use. It has a nice unstructured storage pouch at the rear and a locking latch that ensures it is folded while in the transport.

Weight

This nimble stroller folds down into a very compact, lightweight package and fits in airline overhead bins which makes it ideal for travel. It also has an ample storage basket as well as a child tray. It does have some disadvantages, such as the only a limited recline (it can only be lowered down to a small angle) and instructions that are in pictures instead of words. However it is a great option for families who want a simple, lightweight stroller.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that's especially suited for families traveling. It's light (13.7 pounds), has a small, compact fold that makes it easy to squeeze into overhead bins. It also comes with decent features for the price. It's compatible with several car seat brands and is among the lightest strollers for travel on the market.

It is not easy to maneuver. Its narrow base and the limited storage under the car may limit its usefulness for longer trips or running errands. It's also not the smoothest rider on the majority of terrain and tends to rock on bumps. The latest version has a more comfortable seat and better padding, however, it's not as premium as the first.

In general, we favor single-handed strollers that have brakes that are easy to lock and a spacious undercarriage to store things. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for added convenience, a cup holder for parents and an easy foot brake to use.

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

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the top single-hand fold strollers on the market. It folds up in just four seconds with one hand, but it can take a moment to secure it. Its small frame is ideal for overhead bins and can be moved as luggage along 19-inch aisles in airplanes. The canopy offers ample protection from the sun, and the fabric is tough. There are two cup holders, and a tray for the parent.

The Uppababy Cruz is a great stroller that can be folded by just one hand. This stroller has an extra-wide seat that has deep recline and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design allows it to be maneuvered even on rough surfaces. Its front wheels were specially designed for India's bumpy roads and also have a padded brake linked to it. The only downside is that the Cruz doesn't come with straps for carrying, so it's not suitable for long walks.

Lastly, the Mountain Buggy Nano is a ideal option for those seeking a stroller with a single hand that is also light and compact. It is a bit heavier than other options but it weighs just 16 pounds. It is able to fit in the overhead compartments on most planes. The basket can be used to store diaper bags and the seat reclines in two different positions.
