Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate

The lightweight strollers are designed to be easy to fold and operate. The best travel prams also have a compact fold which easily fits in overhead bins or smaller car booties, and can even accommodate the infant car seat.

The BabyZen Yoyo2 is the pram of choice for parents on the go thanks to its ultra-lightweight design that is gate-check-friendly and its compact fold. It also has a fantastic turn radius and a near-flat recline.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is known as a sleek, feature-packed stroller that is intuitively designed. The stroller is extremely lightweight and folds up into an extremely compact size, making it easy to transport. It also comes with a front wheel lock that ensures the stroller is stable when in use and an adjustable canopy that offers ample coverage against the sun. It is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous storage basket.

Unlike the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby family the G-Luxe is quite affordable and comes with a variety of extras, such as a parent facing pram cup holder and a rain cover. It also features a convenient brake system that is one step and tall handlebars that make it easier to push parents of all heights, and a hand-level folding mechanism that makes it simple to store.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe features an updated robust frame that resembles the VISTA CRUZ and VISTA strollers. It also has a brand new front-end with a single-wheeled design that improves maneuverability, and a larger canopy that has a pop-out sunshade that offers SPF 50+ protection. It also has a convenient storage basket and a simple-to-access back-of-seat storage pocket.

While the G-Luxe scored high in our noise tests but it was not at the top of the line in terms of performance and durability. It also had the smallest recline positions of our test models. Its rear-facing seats aren't recommended for children under two years.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe was a close contender however, it did not take home the award for the most beautiful umbrella stroller. It has many of those features that make the winners so popular among families. It weighs 16 lbs and has a small footprint when folded however it isn't as compact as the other models we evaluated. Summer Infant 3D Lite weighs 2 lbs less than the G Luxe and folds down to the size of a smaller. It is an excellent option for parents looking for a lightweight travel stroller.

BabyZen Yoyo2

The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram delivers on its promises. It's easy to use, lightweight and looks elegant. It's designed to fit in with city life but it can also be used for travel. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other choices, however it's one of the few that come with a rain cover.

Five Frenchmen created BabyZen in order to create a cheap stroller that was light and ideal for urban environments. The YOYO2 version is the latest. The YOYO2 has a very unique folding and unfolding system that can be done by hand. It is also extremely lightweight and compact and can be carried on your shoulders. It's a great choice for babies and includes a bassinet. When your baby is ready to go, it can be transformed into an infant seat. You can add a car-seat to create a complete travel system.

The YOYO2 is a great bike with a suspension system that can handle rough terrain and is easy to push. It comes with a huge storage basket and running pram a zip pocket that is big enough to hold your wallet, phone, or even snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families, and is compatible with all Babyzen accessories like the footmuff and the large shopping bag.

The only downside of the YOYO2 would be that it's not ideal for long walks on cobblestones, or in parks. It's a smooth ride, but may not be as durable as a product designed for more rugged terrain. If you are planning to use it for short city walks or for running around, it'll do the job well. The YOYO2 fits easily in and out of my Honda Civic's boot and also fits in the footwell. It's also smaller than the majority of people's hand luggage, making it perfect to fly with a baby.

Summer Infant 3D Lite

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is lightweight, feature-rich stroller that folds down into a small package for easy transport and storage. It's among the lightest strollers we've tested, and it's one of the best budget options. It's not a great option for a stroller that you can use everyday since it doesn't have a bassinet or car seat adapter, however it is great for trips.

It can be used to hold toddlers easily. The large seat lays almost flat to allow for napping and diaper changes and the 5-point harness can be adjusted to three height positions as your child grows. There is a generously-sized storage basket and cup holder for parents. The canopy has an open window with a fabric-covered peekaboo and a separate pocket that is zippered to store smaller items.

Like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe the stroller also steers very well on smooth surfaces, but got stuck in cracks in our testing on rough terrain. Its wheels are made from plastic and they bounce more than the average of our test group. It has a smaller strap to carry than the majority of the strollers we tested, which makes it difficult to carry if you're carrying a heavy bag.

The 3Dlite unfolds and folds down in only six seconds. The process is a few steps that include raising the lever in the back of the stroller, release the latch, then push down the latch on the right side and then push the handles downwards. While they aren't the fastest or slowest fold and unfold times of any stroller, they are still pretty quick. It also has relatively taller handle bars which could be a problem for smaller people.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite has a major drawback It doesn't have a sunshade. It has a huge canopy but it does not offer much protection to your child while walking with them in the sun. It is a retractable visor that provides some protection when fully opened however it doesn't cover the baby's head.

Zoe Traveler

The Zoe Traveler is the perfect stroller for those who want lightweight, compact strollers. This stroller isn't just lightweight, but also can fold down to the size and shape of a carry on suitcase! This is a big plus in our books. It also has a fabulous sun canopy, and is loaded with extras such as a parent console, a travel backpack/storage bag, a single or double shoulder or cross-body straps, kids' snack tray and a weather cover!

Zoe was created by a couple and prides itself on making products for parents that are as beneficial as they can be as their children grow. This is evident in their stroller collection, which ranges from a basic umbrella to an expanding double that has reclining chairs. Their strollers for travel are some of the best Travel pram alternatives available, and they give the most value for your buck.

We tried the Zoe Traveler in order to evaluate it against the competition on the basis of functionality and ease of use. We analyzed a variety of aspects that include fold and unfold storage and maneuverability, and safety. It is a breeze to fold and unfold. However, it requires only one hand. It's also not as smooth as its rivals. It's not the best choice for taller parents as the handlebars are only 40 inches high. This could cause discomfort on long trips.

Storage is essential in a stroller, particularly when you're traveling. This factor accounts for 25 percent of the overall score. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. A small bin is situated in the back of the car. It can fit diaper bags or coat or jacket. However, it's unlikely to hold a full day's worth of supplies.

The seats on the Zoe Traveler are comfortable, however, they're not the best spacious in our test group. They have average padding and two reclining settings. One hand is required to adjust the recline, however two hands are needed to get it back straight.
