Choosing a Single Lightweight Stroller

The best lightweight stroller for the year from GH Parenting Institute features a fold that is only one second, and a fully reclined chair with an adjustable footrest, and an elegant design. It's also compatible with the Cybex infant car seat (sold separately).

The lightweight strollers are made for easy lifting into your trunk, or carrying up and down the stairs. Choose a stroller which folds with one hand and comes with a padded handle to prevent it from slipping while you are carrying it.

Comfort

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a single lightweight stroller is the level of comfort it offers for both the baby and the parent. The most comfortable models come with plenty of padding on the seat, a range of recline positions (though not completely flat like the bassinet) and a huge canopy that blocks wind and sun. These strollers provide an enjoyable ride, even for long strolls or trips across rough terrains.

The lightest, most compact strollers can fold down into a small space making them easy to transport, store, and fit into storage spaces. These strollers are ideally suited to urban environments with smooth surfaces. However, they are able to handle a variety outdoor locations and weather conditions. Some of these lightweight strollers meet the requirements for gate-checking and cabin storage on planes.

For those seeking a more flexible option might want to consider a stroller that is able to accommodate an infant car seat or a bassinet. This allows them to use the stroller as a baby carrier, and then move the child to a regular seat when they're ready. The UPPAbaby Mini v2 is a good example. It features a high quality car seat adaptor that's compatible with UPPAbaby infant and toddler car seats, as well as bassinets.

Other models, such as the Cybex Pockit and the Joolz Pockit are lightweight, but they also have a large storage basket as well as a canopy that is of top quality. They can also be used as a standalone stroller or part of an overall travel system and they are easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

The brake system is another feature to look out for in a light-weight pram. The top models come with a single brake pedal that is easy to engage and disengage by using one hand as opposed to ones that require two pedals or have an inconsistent action. This can help to prevent accidents that are caused by user error. For example, when parents forget or don't apply the brakes consistently.

We test strollers in real situations, both at home and at the homes of our family testers and consumers. We also evaluate maneuverability and how it is simple to turn, push and fold the stroller using only one hand. This helps us determine which models are the most strollers for light weight, and which offer you the most value for money.

Convenience

Purchasing a lightweight stroller is a great choice for parents who want to cut down on expenses or reduce their equipment to just a few essential items. These strollers are available at a cheaper cost than larger strollers, and can easily fit in the overhead bins of airplanes, or the trunk of cars.

Many lightweight strollers have features like reclining seats and sun shade, which makes the stroller for your child more comfortable. They are easy to maneuver, and offer a smooth ride. However, they may not offer the same amount of suspension as top-rated full size strollers. The majority of these strollers come with one-action brakes, which means that one pedal is used to engage and one to deengage, instead of two separate pedals that require two different actions. These simple, streamlined brake systems are less vulnerable to error by the user than the double-action system found on some models, which may cause parents to not remember to disengage one brake.

Some lightweight strollers also include extras like a parent console, storage basket, kids' snack tray, and the carry strap which can be carried over your shoulder or like a backpack to help you conserve space in your car or bag. They also have slim profiles that make them easier to fold and smaller footprint that allows for better maneuvering in tight spaces. If you plan on converting your stroller into a double, consider an option like the gb Pockit+ All City, which can be expanded to include a double seat.

Many lightweight strollers do not accept infant car seats, but they could work with a high-quality baby carrier and an infant adapter or caddy that transforms the stroller into an entire travel system. The UPPAbaby Minu V2 is an excellent example, since it is compatible with a wide range of infant car seats, and has an incredibly reclined and well-padded seat that feels substantial without appearing heavy.

When narrowing down your options, you should consider the frequency and long you plan to use the stroller. A basic, simple stroller is fine for an afternoon of errands however, when your family plans to go on frequent trips you'll need a single fold pushchair lightweight stroller that is both comfortable and reliable.

The pedals that are single-action tend to be more straightforward to use than those with a dual-action system, which could require two steps or have a confusing design (often with color coded or illustrated indicators).

The footprint of a stroller together with its ability to fold and carry is a different factor that can influence design. Certain models are smaller than others, so select a lightweight travel stroller with a smaller footprint if you are looking to reduce space.
