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

A stroller should be simple to use and fit into tight spaces. This model folds with just one hand and is ideal to travel with.

It also comes with a huge undercarriage basket, a reclining seat, and a large canopy with a peek-aboo window. The only drawback is that it's too big to fit in airline overhead bins.

Features

If you're traveling to work or for vacation, picking the right stroller for your needs can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful journey. Consider the weight and age of your child, as well features like a reclining recline and ample storage, and protection from the weather. You'll also want to choose one that is easy to fold and unfold using one hand, especially if you're holding the child.

We were impressed by the egg2's compact fold and light, sturdy feel. It also comes with an adjustable reclining mechanism, a spacious basket under the seat and an excellent handbar that is padded. The only drawbacks are a stiff leg rest as well as an insufficient amount of storage space. The leg rest and basket can fit into a small tote however you'll need to remove the seat cushion in order to do this. The seat doesn't have a large-sized compartment which can be a pain when you're trying to carry multiple bags and a squirmy kiddo.

If you're looking for a more budget-friendly single-handle model, look into the GB Qbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in many ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. It doesn't have the same amount of undercarriage storage as other models and its canopy is smaller.

In our tests, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth, easy ride across all surfaces. It was a breeze to roll across shag carpet and sidewalks that were paved and performed well in our test of durability. It also offers numerous options for customization, including a newborn bassinet attachment as well as a rider board for siblings.

A great option for parents who travel frequently, this lightweight stroller folds down in half and can be tucked away in an overhead bin of the train or plane. Its sleek design and small pockets on the front for a cell phone of the parent and a large back pocket for larger tote or weekender bags. The seat is padded and is a great shape and the buckle system is easy to use, even with a toddler is in tow. It's also one of the few models we have tested with a foot brake, which allows you to stop it whenever needed.

Design

If you're going to take a stroller on the go, you should look for a model that folds easily and carried along with other luggage. Some of these strollers even have a carrying case or strap that allows you carry them on your shoulders. These strollers are great for long days of exploring or for navigating narrow aisles on public transportation.

Consider features such as the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when choosing a single-hand stroller that folds. Think about whether you need a tray for your child or an adjustable legrest and the amount of weight the stroller can support.

The Nuna Trvl is one of GH's top stroller that is one-handed. It's a light stroller that's easy to handle, has an incredibly recline and a large storage basket. It's also stylish and can be used on all surfaces and makes crisp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another excellent option for a light and compact stroller. It's also simple to carry. It reminds us of the Nuna Trvl but is slightly more affordable, and comes with a few additional convenience features, such as an adjustable leg rest as well as an easier reclining system that goes nearly all the way back.

Other notable lightweight strollers include the Cybex Orfeo (which earned a spot on our best car seat travel systems list), the UPPAbaby Minu and the GB Pockit. The Cybex Orfeo has a self-standing fold that is one-handed and compatible with six different car seat brands. It is a little heavier than the other top models, but its front wheel is able to be able to absorb bumps better.

The UPPAbaby Mini offers many of the same features of the larger prams of the brand, but folds more compactly. It can be tucked away in the majority of overhead bins on planes. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is simple to use. It comes with a lovely unstructured storage compartment at the rear and a locking latch that keeps it folded when it is in transit.

Weight

This stroller is able to be folded down to a compact, lightweight bag that easily fits into overhead bins of airlines, making it ideal for air travel. It also features a large storage basket and child tray. It has some drawbacks such as the restricted recline (it can only be lowered to a small single stroller angle) and directions in pictures instead of words. However it is an excellent choice for families seeking a simple, lightweight stroller.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is particularly suitable for those who travel. It's light (13.7 lbs), has a small and compact fold that makes it easy to fit in the aisles of airplanes and overhead storage bins and offers a variety of features at a fair cost. It is compatible with many car seat brands, and it's one of the lightest strollers on the market.

However, it is not the easiest to handle. Its narrow base and the limited storage under the car can make it unsuitable for longer trips or running errands. It is not the smoothest on all terrains and has a habit to sway on bumps. The most recent version comes with more comfort in the seat and more padding, but it's not as premium as the original.

In general, we recommend single push chair-handed strollers that have brakes that are simple to lock and a large undercarriage for storage. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for greater comfort, as well as a cup holder that is easy for parents, and an easy footbrake to use.

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

Its narrow frame means it fits nicely in overhead bins and can be rolled like a suitcase down 19-inch aisles of airplanes. The fabric is durable, and the canopy offers plenty of sun protection.

Another top combi single stroller-hand fold stroller is the Uppababy Cruz. It has a wide seat that has deep recline and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver, even over rough surfaces. Its front wheels are specially made for India's rocky roads, and it has an insulated brake to make stopping easy. The Cruz is not suited for long walks since it does not come with an carrying strap.

Finally, the Mountain Buggy Nano is a great option for those seeking an easy-to-fold stroller that is also lightweight and compact. It is a bit heavier than other strollers but it weighs just 16 pounds. It can fit in the overhead compartments of most planes.
