Maneuverability
The ability to maneuver a stroller is a very important factor. A compact single stroller must be able to maneuver easily, whether you're strolling through a mall or navigating an extremely narrow path in a museum. It should also roll across a variety of surfaces, from smooth paved sidewalks to cobblestone streets and gravel paths.
When we tested these products we considered the size of their wheels and type of treads, as well as the weight of the buggy when empty. The most compact strollers were easy to maneuver and moved smoothly over all our testing surfaces.
We also evaluated the capability of these strollers to deal with rough terrain, like gravel or grassy areas at parks. Some models did have trouble with this, but the majority of them were still suitable for light use. We also assessed the ease of these strollers to fold and carry. Most were easy to fold and carry, and some took just two minutes and just one hand. One model, the Kooper comes with an additional feature that makes it stand out from other ultralights that include a medium-sized basket, reclining seat and car seat adapters (it's compatible with more than 30 different car seats). It's also the lightest of these strollers and can be carried on the shoulder as a purse by using its carry strap.
The Contours Quick is another lightweight stroller that's extremely versatile. It can accommodate up to two children's seats, has excellent wheels that can be used on any surface, and is simple to open, with the press of the button to lock in place. It's also a bit cheaper than other compact double strollers. However, it isn't equipped with the bassinet and adapter options for the Pria85.

Seating
A compact single stroller must be spacious enough to accommodate growing children and a full basket. Look for a deep seat that reclines, as as a canopy to ensure that your baby is protected. If you are planning to use an automobile seat along with your stroller, be sure to find adapters that are compatible with your specific model.
The Myavo travel buggy by Graco is a great value and is perfect for everyday travel. It can also be tucked away in the trunk or overhead bin of a car. It folds flat and comes with a storage bag for travel, as well as adapters for car seats for Nuna Pipa/Maxi Cosi/Cybex infant carseats. It can also be paired with a ride-along boarding system to create an additional pushchair for older children when paired up with the newborn pack.
Another option from a brand that is known for its travel buggies is the Munchkin Sparrow, which has a silly bird name and an elegant design. It folds up into a tiny carrying bag, and it has a pocket where you can keep the bumper bar. This will eliminate the need to use the valuable space in your trunk or overhead. It's not the best choice for those who are short because the handlebar is rotated around a pivot, and some of our testers found that it was too high.
The UPPAbaby Minu V2 is similar in dimensions to the Munchkin however it's more maneuverable and can fit into a carry-on bag. It also comes with a bigger basket, an extendable canopy with a lot of sun coverage and all-wheel suspension. It's heavier than many small

Storage
As your baby gets older and grows, you'll be using your stroller on longer distances away from home. You'll need more room for diaper bags clothing, toys and water bottles, snacks and other essentials. You should look for strollers with ample storage space and a convenient place to store all your equipment.

Another way a stroller can help you stay organized is by providing an enormous storage basket under the seat.
