Cheap Single Pushchairs

The Babyzen Yoyo stroller is a great option if you're on a budget and don't need an extra stroller that can be used as car seat carriers. It comes with a flip-flop-friendly one-step footbrake.

It's easy to push, and it feels solid when traversing kerbs and woodland trails. Additionally, it's easy to fold.

1. Babyzen YOYO2

The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned its reputation as the ultimate lightweight stroller, both for urban dwellers as well for jet-setters. This is due to its extremely nimble handling and fold which fits in the overhead luggage of an aeroplane. The latest version has independent suspension on all four wheels comprised of Hytrel elastomer, which allows it to 'perfectly navigate all terrains and types'.

The YOYO2 frame base, curved fabric bassinet and the 6+ month colour pack come together to make a stylish and elegant pushchair that's easy on the eyes with a subtle yet elegant design and a tasteful branding. The frame's weight alone is just under a kilo and is so light that you can easily lift it out of the box (and do it using one hand).

It's also simple to add or remove adaptors or attachments - the hood, for instance, snaps on to the YOYO2 by clicking and is machine washable at 30deg to help deter staining from rice cakes smushed and half-dissolved carrot puffs. It can be used as a pram from birth with the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted into 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. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore can be transformed from a stroller to a wagon by simply flipping the handle. Parents can then choose which mode is best for their adventure. The wagon can accommodate one or two children from 6 months to 5 years old. It has a large storage basket that will hold all your necessities on the go.

The Xplore has two canopies that rotate from front-to-back, providing adequate sun protection for the entire family. It has a smaller footwell than other wagons. This may not be ideal for long drives or naps.

The frame of the Xplore is solid and sturdy however it doesn't have the same flex as some of the other wagons we tested. It is also more difficult to fold than some of the other models and it doesn't lock tightly when folded. It is easy to move, however, and can fit through doors with a width of 28 inches.

3. Delta Children LX Side by Side

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

It did better in our push and turn test than most of the strollers we tested, but was nonetheless difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain or through narrow doors. The sunshades it has are among the smallest we tested, offering only direct overhead coverage, and no windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have much larger sunshades.

The Delta took us just over three minutes to put together using an average manual and no components required tools. However, it's missing certain essential features that we think you should not compromise on in a double stroller, like a large basket and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.

4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

The Zelia is Maxi-Cosi’s newest pushchair that is advertised as a travel system for urban use. It is designed to accommodate babies from birth to approximately 3.5 years old, and can be converted 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 stay-in car-base and reversible carriage.

The seat can be reclined using one hand, and the large shopping basket makes it easy for parents to help their child in and out. Although it is a small pushchair, it was able to handle the bumps of everyday life well and slid through doors without fuss.

The front wheels can be locked in forward positions or let them swivel which helps when covering rough terrain. While walking along the stony path we let them move and it performed well although it did seem a little bumpier than others that we tested.

5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2,

Baby Jogger is famous for their all-terrain, 3-wheeler pushchairs for jogging, but they also have a wide selection of 4-wheel strollers. The City Tour 2 is one of their most sought-after models. It is simple to use and folds up small enough to fit in a car boot even with the carrycot attached.

It is heavier than the other strollers that we test, but since it comes with rubber composite wheels it feels sturdy and well-constructed. It is easy to maneuver across different terrains, and even with two children with shopping bags and other things.

Both the carrycot and seat have hoods that are able to be lower to reveal a UV50+ sun canopy extensions. They are strong and waterproof, unlike other hoods for prams, which can be blown back into toddlers faces.

It's not a lot of storage space but it has a large basket deep enough to hold a change bag or a large amount of groceries. It can also be connected with a Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a traveling system for infants up to 20 pounds (car seat and adapters sold separately). If you require a stroller that can be used on the road, then the City Tour 2 is an ideal choice.

6. Nuna Mixx Next

When the Nuna Mixx first came onto the scene it stole the hearts of parents everywhere. It is an aluminium-framed stroller that can be used from the baby's first days to beyond. It's got a lot of standout features, like the capacity of the seat to be turned between the parent and the world, a large UPF50+ canopy, an eye-shade that flips out, as well as an adjustable handlebar.

The chassis is equipped with an integrated suspension system which reduces the impact of bumpy terrain. The wheels are constructed from tough foam and minimise punctures. Our tester found it to be smooth to push and was able to manoeuvre it through narrow streets with ease.

It locks automatically and folds in just four steps. It can also be folded and stood up for easier transportation down the stairs or in the car's boot. It also comes travel system ready with the option to add a car seat and a carrycot with the adaptors included. The brakes are one action and are colour coded. They also are compatible with flip-flops.

7. Babyzen Duet

This budget single strollers that connect pushchair is surprisingly easy to handle and has great dual suspension, one-hand fold and a practical carry strap. It's also extremely light and sturdy. The seat can be reclined into many different positions. It also comes with a double breathable mattress that's suitable for infants.

The canopy/seat comes with two large fixed or flip-out sun visors. Both are UPF50+. However the toggle closure isn't great it's not as quiet as Velcro and may wake napping babies.

The Duet is a side-byside stroller and can be set up to accommodate twins or other siblings (up to 22kg max per seat). It's compatible with two infant car seats and can be used with carrycots. In twin mode, the seats can be positioned so that they face each one. They can also be oriented towards the parents. This can help to reduce sibling arguments over who sits with mom and dad. It comes with a huge gear tray, a bottle holder and snack trays. It also comes with an automatic frame lock and a superior compact fold.

8. Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2.

The Thule Urban glide 2 is the ideal jogger for parents that like to be active. It is one of the lightest strollers for running that you can purchase for your child. It also comes with great safety features, such as a 5-point safety harness as well as a wrist safety straps. It also comes with a twist hand brake which is different from the lever type found on competing models.

The seat is comfortable and offers a large area to sit in, however the seat's depth is lower than other joggers we've tried (it's about 10"). The storage bin has a zippered cover to help keep items safe. It can hold 10 lbs. It is enough for most diaper bags.

The Urban Glide 2 doesn't come with adapters for most bassinets and infant car seats however, you can use them from the first day with adapters that will fit brands such as BOB, Graco Combi Evenflo Britax UPPAbaby. It is easy to fold and put together in just 5-10 minutes with no tools. The instruction manual is easy to comprehend and contains multiple languages.
