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

A stroller should be easy to operate and fit in tight spaces. This model folds with just one hand and is ideal for travel.

The canopy is big and has a peek-aboo window. It also features an enormous undercarriage bag. It's only downside is it's not able to fit in some overhead bins on airlines.

Features

If you're traveling for work or on vacation, choosing the right stroller for your needs can make or break your trip. Be aware of the weight and age of your child, in addition to features like a wide recline, ample storage space, and weather protection. You should also choose an item that is easy to fold and unfold using one hand, particularly when you're holding the child.

We were impressed by the egg2's compact fold and its light, sturdy 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 as well as the small storage space. The leg rest basket and the leg rests can both fit in a small bag however, to do this you'll need to take off the cushion from the seat. The seat does not come with a large pocket. This can be frustrating when you're trying to juggle multiple bags and a squirmy child.

If you're looking for a affordable single-handle model, look into the Qbit+ All by GB City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways with one-hand folding as well as an accessible leg rest. However it doesn't have as much undercarriage storage and its canopy is smaller than some other models we've tried.

During testing the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth ride on all surfaces. It rolled easily over paved sidewalks, shag carpet and gravel, and performed well in our tests of durability. It also offers many options for customization such as a bassinet for a baby attachment and a riderboard for siblings.

A great option for parents who frequently travel, this lightweight stroller folds in half and fits in an overhead bin of trains or planes. It has a 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 has a pleasing shape, and the buckle system is simple to use, even when there is a child in the. It's also one of only a few models that we tested with brake foot which makes it much easier to stop in the event of need.

Design

If you're going to take a stroller with you on the go, choose models that can be easily folded, carried and transported with other bags. Some of these travel strollers even have a carrying case or strap that lets you carry them on your shoulders. These strollers are great for long days of sightseeing or to navigate narrow aisles on public transportation.

When choosing a single travel stroller-hand fold stroller, think about features such as the size of the basket, the depth of the recline and the size of the canopy. Also, consider whether you require a tray for your child, an adjustable leg rest and the weight that the stroller can carry.

GH's top pick for a one-handed stroller is the Nuna Trvl. It's a light stroller that is easy to handle, comes with a a deep reclining seat and a large storage bag. It looks great, is simple to maneuver and takes sharp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City stroller is another excellent option for a light and compact stroller. It's also easy to carry. It's similar to Nuna Trvl, but it's slightly less expensive and comes with additional convenience features. It has an adjustable legrest and a simpler recline system that extends almost all the way back.

Other lightweight strollers worth mentioning are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu, and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and has an all-hands-on-one-hand, self-standing fold. It is a little heavier than other top models, but its front wheel is able to be able to absorb bumps better.

The UPPAbaby Minu offers many of the same functions as the larger prams from the brand however, it folds more compactly and fits into most airplane overhead bins. The seat padding is thick and the recline system is simple to use. It also comes with a great, unstructured rear storage pouch and a lock clasp that keeps the stroller folded while in transit.

Weight

This stroller folds into a compact, lightweight package and can fit in overhead bins for airlines which makes it ideal for air travel. It also comes with an ample storage basket as well as a child tray. Although it has some disadvantages like its restricted recline (it can only be repositioned to a very slightly reclining position) and instructions that use pictures rather than words, it's an excellent choice for families who need a simple, lightweight stroller for quick excursions.

The BabyZen YoYo2 stroller is a popular choice for those who travel. It's light (13.7 pounds) and has a compact folded design that makes it easy to squeeze into overhead bins. It also comes with decent features for the money. It's compatible with a variety of car seat brands, and it's one of the lightest strollers on the market.

It's not easy to maneuver. Its narrow base and the limited storage under the car could make it less suitable for longer trips or errands. It's also not the smoothest rider on the majority of terrain, and it has a tendency to rock on bumps. The newer version has a more comfortable and well padded seat, but is still not as high-end.

In general, we prefer single-handed strollers with brakes that are simple to lock and a spacious undercarriage to store things. We also recommend a padded harness and seat for comfort, a convenient cup holder for parents, and a foot brake that is simple to use.

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

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the best lightweight single stroller single-hand folding strollers available on the market. It folds in just four seconds using just one hand, however it does take a moment to lock into place. Its slim frame makes it possible to fit into overhead bins and be carried down 19-inch aisles like luggage. The canopy provides ample protection from the sun, and the fabric is tough. There are two cup holders, as well as a parent tray.

Another top single seat stroller-hand fold stroller is the Uppababy Cruz. This stroller features a wide seat with a deep recline position and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design is simple to maneuver, even on rough terrain. Its front wheels were specially designed for India’s bumpy roads and also have a padded brake linked to it. The only issue is that the Cruz isn't equipped with straps for carrying, so it's not ideal for long walks.

Lastly, the Mountain Buggy Nano is a ideal option for those who want a stroller with a single hand that is also lightweight and compact. It is a bit heavier than other options, but still weighs under 16 pounds. It is able to fit in the overhead compartments of most planes. The basket can be used to store a diaper bag and the seat reclines to two positions.
