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

A stroller should be easy to use and fit into tight spaces. This cheap single pushchair-hand fold model accomplishes both very well and is a good choice for travel.

It also comes with a huge undercarriage storage basket, a reclining seat, and a large canopy that has a peek-a-boo window. The only issue is that it won't fit into some overhead bins for airlines.

Features

When you travel for work or on vacation, selecting the right stroller for your child can make or break your excursion. Be aware of the weight and age of your child, in addition to features like a reclining recline and plenty of storage and protection from the weather. You should also choose a model that's easy to fold and unfold using one hand, especially when you're holding a child.

The egg2 was an excellent choice for us because of its compact fold, light weight and sturdy feel. It also features an adjustable reclining mechanism, a spacious basket underneath the seat, and a the handbar is extremely comfortable. The only drawbacks are the stiff leg rest and the limited storage space. The leg rest basket and the leg rests can both fit in inside a compact bag however, to do this you'll need to take off the seat cushion. The seat doesn't come with an ample pocket. This can be a hassle when trying to manage multiple bags and a squirmy child.

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

During testing the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth and easy ride on all surfaces. It was easy to roll over paved sidewalks and shag carpet, and it did well in our tests of durability. It also offers plenty of customization options, including a newborn bassinet attachment and a riderboard for siblings.

The stroller's lightweight design can be folded in half to fit into the overhead bin of a plane or train. The stroller has a modern and sleek design, with an encasement in the front for a parent’s phone and a larger pocket at the back to store larger bags or weekenders. The cushioned seat is well designed, and the buckle system is equipped with magnetic buckles that are easy to use and fast to secure, even with a squirmy toddler in the back. It's also among the few models that we tested with a foot brake, which allows you to stop it when necessary.

Design

If you're planning to take a stroller with you on the go, look for one that is able to be folded and carried along with other luggage. Some of these travel strollers include straps or a carrying case that lets you carry them over your shoulders. These strollers are great for long days of sightseeing or to navigate narrow aisles on public transportation.

Consider features such as the size of the basket and the canopy when you choose a single-hand folding stroller. Think about whether you need a parent tray or a legrest that can be adjusted, and how much the weight your stroller can carry.

The Nuna Trvl is GH's preferred stroller with one hand. It's a lightweight travel stroller that's easy to handle, has a deep recline and a large storage basket. It looks fantastic, is easy to maneuver and can make sharp turns.

The GB Qbit+ All City is another excellent option for a lightweight and compact stroller that's easy to carry. It reminds us of the Nuna Trvl, but is slightly cheaper, and it has a few extra convenience features, such as an adjustable leg rest and a simpler reclining system that extends all the way back.

Other lightweight strollers worth to mention are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu, and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo has a self-standing fold that is one-handed and compatible with six different car seat brands. It's heavier than other top models in this class, however, and its front wheel could be more effective at absorption of bumps.

The UPPAbaby Minu has a lot of the same functions as the larger prams of the brand however, it folds more compactly and can fit in the majority of overhead bins on airplanes. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is simple to use. It comes with a lovely unstructured storage pouch at the rear, and a locking latch that allows it to fold when in the transport.

Weight

This nimble stroller folds down into a compact, light-weight package that fits in airline overhead bins, making it perfect for travel. It also has a large storage bag as well as a tray for children. Although it has some drawbacks that aren't as obvious, like its limited recline (it is able to only go to a slightly reclined position) and instructions that use pictures instead of words, it's an excellent option for families that require an easy stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry on short trips.

The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that is especially well-suited for those who travel. It's extremely light (13.7 pounds) and has a compact, compact fold that makes it easy to fit into the aisles of airplanes and overhead bins, and offers decent features for its price. It's compatible with numerous car seat brands and is one of the lightest strollers available.

However, it's not the easiest to maneuver. It has a narrow base and a small undercarriage storage space, which could limit its utility for longer trips or for errands. It's also not the smoothest rider on all terrains and has a tendency to roll when bumps occur. The latest version comes with a more comfortable and better cushioned seat, but it's not as expensive.

We recommend strollers that are single-handed with brakes that can be locked easily and an undercarriage that is spacious for storage. We also recommend a cushioned seat and harness for greater comfort as well as cups holder that is easy for parents, and an easy footbrake to use.

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