10 Best Compact Strollers To Make Traveling With BB Easy— Near And Far

“This Cosco Umbrella Stroller is great!” says a Walmart reviewer. “You have to attach 2 wheels to the frame when it arrives but that was simple. It is super lightweight. I’m able to pick it up with one hand put it in the car or take it out. It folds up to where it barely takes up any room in the trunk of my car or foyer of the house. I am only 5’3″ and I can just about stand up straight while pushing it.”

Notes a Walmart customer, “Honestly, wow. Price is so fair for what it comes with. It’s so light, which make it so easy on-the-go. It’s so easy to assemble, fold, and store. Basket is much needed. Baby can sleep and be very comfortable in it. It comes with cup holder on top and tray for Baby (in my other stroller just those two parts cost $100). All of my errands seems to be so fast since I start using it.”

WEIGHT: 15 lbs Being a mom-on-the-go can best be described as a balancing act of sorts — all the more reason to have a stroller that can do ALL the things. We’re partial to the easy-to-use push bar that can be maneuvered with one hand. The lovely Graco NimbleLite Stroller has a reclining seat and two cup holders (yes, TWO… one for baby’s sippy cup and one for your steaming cup of coffee that, fingers crossed, you’ll actually be able to drink at a decent temp). Next up: We’re fan-girling over the storage basket that’s roomy enough to stow away a sand bucket, a box of animal crackers, and maybe a board book or two. Last but not least, this bad boy folds up easily making travel and public transportation a breeze. One Amazon customer raves: “This is a fantastic travel stroller. We used this on a family trip to Glacier National Park and this held up through four plane trips and everything else we threw at it.” 

“We had a bigger, bulkier stroller before this one, and after using this stroller, it has made our lives so much easier,” says one Amazon reviewer. “First thing, is it’s so much move maneuverable, we brought this to the museum, which was packed, and we were able to move it around with ease. Second, the stroller is so much lighter than the previous stroller we were using. We used to hate bringing our son out to places because we would need to drag along his heavy stroller, but this stroller is so much lighter that we don’t mind bringing him out anymore. This stroller is easy to collapse and doesn’t required much trunk space, very travel friendly.”

Says one reviewer, “This stroller is AWESOME! The assembly took all of 2 minutes, the most of that time was spent taking everything out of the plastic wrapping. The canopy unzips and extends pretty far down, the locking function is right by your feet on each back wheel, the cargo net underneath is good size, and the stroller is just the right size for my son. I also loved the fact that I could buy this in lime green so our stroller will stick out in the parks in a sea of black, blue, and red strollers!”

“I have been wanting the Bugaboo Ant for some time now and I really wish I had bought it sooner!” one customer says. “The first thing I was really impressed by was their use of all recyclable packaging materials. The stroller is lightweight, but very sturdy. All of the materials feel premium and it is a really sleek looking stroller that I am excited to travel with. I have two children, a 10-month-old and a 3.5-year-old, and it is very easy to accommodate both of them with the easily-adjustable seat height and super smooth push.”

WEIGHT: 21.5lbs If you want to look like a million bucks without spending a fortune, this stylish stroller is so chic. The leather-wrapped handlebar and brown-and-navy color combo are totally classic (there’s a red version, too), but modern features like one-handed folding and rear or front-facing capabilities mean you and BB can have the best of both worlds. Other features you and your little will love include a spacious storage bin, a five-point safety harness, an adjustable footrest, and more. “This stroller has been a life saver since I’ve been quarantined at home,” a reviewer says. “Since purchasing this stroller, we have been going for daily morning walks, it feels great to get outside. If we do encounter anyone, the canopy expands with a zipper and shields my daughter completely. The stroller is lightweight and easy to assemble. It has a smooth ride which is nice for going on brisk walks.”
