This stroller is among the smallest, lightest and easiest to fold. It is a great stroller and a fantastic sun canopy, and a multi-position recline.

This stroller is an excellent value at less than $100. It features an easy compact fold, as well as a carry strap, making it easy to carry over your shoulder or take with you on public transportation.

1. Lightweight

The key to a good travel stroller is that it must be lightweight and easy to fold. The top prams models we tested fold down with only one hand (and sometimes two) and can fit in overhead luggage compartments. They also have a good roll and are small enough to be easily maneuvered in tight spaces. Some models even have an adjustable handle for parents of different heights. If you're planning a brief excursion with a baby or a long-haul trip with a toddler, you'll need an easy-to-pack stroller to make the journey -- and return -- easier for your family.

To find the best strollers for traveling, we compared nine models that meet our minimum weight and size requirements. Each model was tested on city streets as well as on country side walks and in the terminal at the airport to determine its ability to maneuver, its ease of folding and carrying, and overall comfort for the child.

Our top choice is the Babyzen YoYo2 (320), which folds the easiest of all the strollers we tested and can fit in the overhead bins of planes. It's car seat-compatible and its seat can recline almost completely flat, making it ideal for infants. Other parent-friendly features include a deep undercarriage storage basket and a bag hook attached to the handle, and a UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of coverage for your young traveler.

The Cybex Orfeo (320) is another option. It features the ability to fold in concertina that can be operated using just one hand, and is extremely light. Its five-point harness, padded and crotch straps keep your child safe, while the reversible seat and a massive undercarriage basket make sure there's enough space for all their belongings. It is also compatible with the brand's infant car seat. This makes it an ideal option for families with children that have children from the time of birth.

The Coya TRVL ($320), a one-handed, one step fold and is also compatible with car seats and has an enormous canopy. It's more expensive than other models in the same category however, it comes with additional features such as a large cupholder and parent pocket, an adjustable handlebar to accommodate parents of all heights, and a comfortable carry strap. The simple design does compromise durability, relative to other models in this category.

2. Folding is simple

If you're constantly on the move the stroller you use for travel needs to be easy to open and close. If you have a bag of groceries or kids in your arms you shouldn't have to wrestle with a complicated stroller to close it. The best travel Stroller travel strollers fold up easily and compactly, even with one hand. Many come with a padded carrying strap that fits comfortably over your shoulder.

In our tests, the Libelle stroller scored well for its ease of folding and compact size. However, it also has some nice features: It rolls effortlessly across all surfaces and comes with a huge canopy that gives ample coverage. Additionally, it's extremely light and free-standing when folded which makes it easy to store.

We recommend that parents who wish to have their stroller fit in the overhead bins of planes and are looking for models that claim to fit. The Munchkin Sparrow is a good example. It fits into the smallest folding stroller and comes with an extra-safe travel cover. However it doesn't have an adjustable seat and the cargo area is too small to hold anything but an infant diaper bag or tote.

Another alternative is the Babyzen Yoyo 2, Folding Stroller which folds down into a concertina design but also has an reversible seat that can be used for back-to-back or face-to-face riding. Our managing editor found it a breeze to open and close, though she wasn't thrilled by the way the handle tucks into the seat when folded.

The tri-fold is the newest travel stroller. It folds in three parts and offers the perfect combination of compactness and features. The UPPAbaby Miniu for example, comes with the ability to flip the chair over, an unstructured storage pouch in the rear, and a locking latch to keep it folded. It's slightly larger than the umbrella models of the brand however it folds more compactly than its G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts and has a carry strap with padding that can be worn over your shoulder.

3. Easy to store

The best travel strollers can fold down to a small size that is easy to store. They can easily be tucked away in the trunk of a car, or in the overhead bin of a plane. Some even have a carrying strap that makes it easy to sling over your shoulder and you don't have to be concerned about your hands getting tired. They also tend to be lighter than regular strollers, which could make them easy to lift and carry when it's time for an easy stroll around the neighborhood or at the airport.

This stroller performed exceptionally excellently in our durability tests and was easy to maneuver across any type of surface. From smooth hardwoods to sag flooring, this stroller is a great option. Some of our test subjects found it a bit flimsy and the handlebar was not padding to ensure your hands were comfortably. The size of the storage basket should also be taken into consideration. It's on the small side and some parents have had difficulty difficult to fit a large diaper bag into it.

In general, we suggest calling your airline prior to time to verify their specific guidelines for bringing strollers on board, as they can vary. This is especially important if you want to gate-check your stroller that allows you to travel around the airport without it and be able to use it once you're on the plane (though that option won't work for families who require a car seat or toddler booster).

It comes nearly fully assembled straight out of the box The only thing you have to do is put the bumper bar into the appropriate spot. It has cups holder for the parent and an additional back pocket. However, it does not have an over-sized basket. This may make it difficult to pack the essentials for a long journey.

If you are frequent travelers, we recommend that you consider a more robust stroller with better features and the ability to hold more cargo. The UPPAbaby Minu, for instance, comes with many of the same features similar to its G-Luxe and G-Link counterparts however, it's smaller and folds more quickly. It's also a bit more durable than an umbrella stroller, and it has a padded carrying strap that takes some of the burden off your shoulders.

4. Comfortable

Strollers are often used for prolonged durations of time when traveling, so the comfort of the stroller is crucial. Look for seats with ample padding and a recline feature that allows you to position it at different angles. Also note whether the canopy extends to give protection from the sun, and if it has mesh windows that allow airflow. Consider a model that has an organizer for the parents or a cupholder, as well as an enormous basket underneath the seat in case you need to carry your belongings. If you're looking for a stroller that is suitable for older children, look up the age range and determine whether your child is comfortable in the stroller without a car seat for infants.

The way a stroller is rolled is also crucial. It needs to maneuver easily over various surfaces including smooth hardwoods and shag carpet to cobblestones and gravel. It should also handle stairs and curbs with ease. Pick a stroller that is lightweight if you are planning to do a lot of walking throughout your trip. This will help prevent leg and back pain.

A good travel stroller should also be easy to use. It should assemble in under 30 seconds and snap up securely when you put it into the correct position. It must also be able to fold flat and fit into the trunk of a car or in the overhead compartment of a plane. It should also be upright when folded so that you can grab it up with one hand, while holding your child in the other.
