The Top 8 Travel Prams In Australia In 2024

Babyzen Yoyo 4

Finding the perfect prams  for babies when you're constantly on the move brings about a whole host of challenges when you become new parent, but fortunately, there’s now a new wave of  travel prams  and  compact strollers  on the scene to make life significantly easier and save your back a whole lot of pain.

Travelling with kids feels like you are taking everything but the kitchen sink with you- so to help you out we have also created the ultimate checklist for travelling with kids over  here. But which  travelling pram  is best for you?

We’ve rounded up the latest  compact travel strollers  in Australia to help you with your search for the top travel pram in Australia. These travel strollers aren't just great for babies but they are also a great toddler lightweight  stroller . Small buggies and  prams  for babies are just a taste of what we've road-tested below.

What should you look for in a travel pram?

When setting out to the best travel pram, there are a few things you need to keep in mind before making your final decision.

One of the most important features of a travelling pram is its size. Most people opt for a stroller for travel as their children grow bigger and need a less bulky mode of transport. It should be small enough to fit in the boot of the car, or in the overhead compartment on an airplane.

Buying bulky prams for travel defeats the purpose of attaining a smaller, more compact solution, as you want something you can just whip out, pop baby in, and go!

Transportability:

Now, even if your travel pram is smaller than your regular pram, it won't necessarily serve its purpose as a solution for easier travel unless it weighs less, and folds up more compactly than a regular pram.

For example, travel prams or strollers for travel should ideally fold down with one touch and should come complete with a strap to throw over your shoulder so that you're not forced to lug it around during travel.

Travel prams or strollers are also a popular option for road trips and interstate travel, as they take up far less room in your car.

When people think of travelling prams, often they picture those flimsy umbrella strollers that many of us were carted around in as kids. However, we are thrilled to let you know that modern travel prams couldn't be further from that. In fact, many travel prams you'll see on the market could be even sturdier and of a better quality than your regular pram. It's always a good idea to read reviews and research the brand's make and model before making your purchase.

Here Are The 8 Best Travel Prams In Australia In 2024:

"“Loving my new butterfly. I opened the box and you simply push in two buttons with one hand and the whole thing pops right open. It also closes that easily as well. It is light weight and so compact. It has a comfortable shoulder strap so it’s easy to carry for trips or even just to take up less room in the trunk when you have other baby stuff to haul around. I got the green and it is the prettiest color for our sweet little boy. The car seat adapter is easy to add to the stroller and his Nuna Air car seat just pops right on. I love this stroller and how it can grow with our little boy for several years to come.”" - Jlw25
"“I was looking for a compact stroller and preordered the butterfly. I originally wanted it to travel & took it on our trip. It was amazing. It easily fit in the overhead of the airplane and closes and opens so easily! You can do it one handed! Best money spent for sure and my one year old can use it plus my three year old. The extension for laying down is amazing and works great! It has been such a lifesaver and totally worth it. I highly recommend. Love how sturdy it is but also so compact at the same time. I had another compact stroller and it was so flimsy. I love this one and highly recommend it. So glad I purchased it and decided to spend the money.”" - Kyla C

Planning a family trip is all fun and games until you realise the stroller is too bulky.

If you want to navigate through crowded airports and popular attractions with ease, you need a good quality travel stroller.

These buggies are usually smaller and lighter than regular prams, so they are easier to transport.

But because your baby comes first, they must also be comfortable and safe. Finding a stroller that fits the bill is far from easy, but luckily, we’ve done most of the hard work for you.

After the reviews below we discuss the key things to look out for when choosing your travel stroller.

Our top pick: Baby Jogger City Mini GT2

Baby Jogger 2014 City Mini GT Single Stroller, Black

The Baby Jogger brand is renowned globally for the innovative strollers they produce. Their line of products is designed for busy parents who live in big cities, and all their strollers are lightweight, compact, and easy to fold up.

From all those on the market, the City Mini GT is perhaps the best travel stroller you can get your hands on. This pram is compact and suitable for both babies and toddlers.

It comes with all-terrain wheels, an ultra-comfy seat, and an adjustable handlebar designed to fit your height.

It even has a hand-operated parking brake so that you can stop it easily whenever you want.

  • Near flat recline seat promotes passenger comfort
  • Multi-position SPF50+ sun canopy
  • Sturdy all-terrain wheels with front wheel suspension
  • Compatible with car seat adapter, converts into a travel system               
  • The seat is not reversible, so the baby will not face you

Also great: Baby Jogger City Tour 2

Baby Jogger City Tour Compact Stroller, Cobalt

The Baby Jogger City Tour is another compact stroller ideal for travel.

It is lightweight and stylish, ideal for pushing on your daily adventures, either while navigating the urban jungle or anywhere else on your journeys.

The stroller is easy to maneuver thanks to the swivelling wheels and is easy to fold with just one hand. It also meets the carry-on requirements so you can easily take it on a plane.

  • The stroller measures only 56cm x 45cm x 23cm when folded and is accepted as a carry-on
  • Sturdy, all-terrain wheels
  • Multi-recline seat for different levels of comfort
  • The seat could be too shallow for some babies

Safety 1st Nook Compact Stroller

SAFETY 1ST Nook Compact Lightweight Newborn 4 Wheel Stroller, Lets Play

This lightweight and compact stroller from Safety 1st is ideal for travel and designed to accommodate babies and toddlers alike. It has a nice weight of only 6.5 kg and can support up to 17 kg.

Multiple position recline ensures suitability for babies of all ages, while the one-hand self-standing fold system will help you collapse the pram while you’re holding the kid in one arm.

The stroller features a large shopping basket and comes with a carry bag for travel.

  • Lockable and removable wheels
  • Antibacterial fabrics
  • Large canopy and breathable mesh vent
  • Reversible seat liner
  • May feel a bit bulky                                                                                

Mountain Buggy Nano V2 Travel Stroller  

baby travel stroller australia

Truly compact and stylish, the Mountain Buggy Nano is a superb travel stroller to consider.

Just like the City Tour, it folds to carry-on dimensions and can accompany you on public transport, being it a train, bus, or plane.

Built-in rear wheel suspension ensures smooth rides on all terrains.

It is also easy to fold and unfold, and it turns into a travel system for infants if paired with the Mountain Buggy car seat.

  • Travel system and second child accommodation options
  • Lightweight and compact enough to fit into carry-on luggage units
  • Suitable for babies from birth up to 20 kg                                                         
  • Some may find the brake pedal inconveniently located and easy to step on while strolling                                                          

BabyZen YoYo Plus Pram 

baby travel stroller australia

The last entry on our list of the best travel stroller in Australia, the BabyZen YoYo Plus Pram can easily meet all your travel needs.

It folds surprisingly compact and fits easily into carry-on luggage units; it’s also lightweight and easy to carry. It also comes with a shoulder strap for easier navigating into airports or train stations.

Your baby will have all the comfort you can expect from a quality stroller.

A large canopy and padded seat with 5-point harness will keep your little one safe and sound in all circumstances.

  • One-hand folding and unfolding
  • Convertible to travel system with included new-born basinet
  • Four-wheel suspension
  • Soft-drive system ensures smooth rides on all terrains                                
  • This stroller is quite expensive                                                                        

Features To Look For In A Travel Stroller  

Choosing a travel stroller can be a challenging task. This piece of gear must address both your baby’s and your needs.

Here are some essential things to check before buying:

  • Comfort : The main need a stroller must address is your baby’s comfort. Infants and toddlers may not love travelling as much as you do, and an uncomfortable seat or harness may make them even grumpier. Go for a pram with multiple recline positions and a padded seat that can keep your kid comfy during long rides.
  • Size : Compactness is the way to go. Not only it will be easier to maneuver it in crowded or tight spaces, but you’ll also find it easier to fit in trains or busses. Also, check the size when folded, and make sure it complies with airline or train  carry-on requirements .
  • Weight : You need a very lightweight stroller. Some of the best travel strollers can weigh as little as 6 kg, and even at this weight, they will still feel like a burden when you’ll also have other luggage to carry.
  • Folding system: Get a stroller with a simple folding system. You should be able to fold and unfold the buggy using only one hand; a stand-alone model can also be a lifesaver on most occasions.

Conclusion 

The  City Mini GT  is undoubtedly our favourite travel stroller. This lightweight pram helps you navigate crowded spaces with incredible ease, and it’s compact enough to fit seamlessly through doorways.

It’s also comfortable for babies. It has a wide seat and large canopy, making your little one feel like royalty.

All-terrain wheels and a hand-operated parking brake boost ease of use and comfort, and you can even turn it into a travel system if you use it with a universal car seat adapter. No doubt, all you need for no-frills family adventures.

Betti Gran Stroller Review

Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

  • Weight: 7.6 kg
  • Age/Weight: Birth to 18 kg

The Betti Gran Stroller is an excellent option for parents seeking a travel pram that is both affordable and functional. Despite its low cost, this compact pram boasts impressive features.

One of the standout features of the Betti Gran Stroller is its versatility. Suitable for babies from birth up to 4 years old, this pram features a fully extendable seat and footrest.

While the Betti Gran Stroller does have an under basket, it is relatively small and somewhat challenging to access. However, given the pram’s affordable price point and other impressive features, the small under basket is a minor trade-off.

  • Adjustable footrest for added comfort
  • Suitable for babies from birth
  • Small under basket

What Is A Travel Stroller and When Should You Use One?

If you are planning to travel with a young child, you may want to consider purchasing a compact and lightweight travel stroller. Unlike your standard stroller, a travel stroller is specifically designed for ease of transportation and convenience when traveling.

Here are some reasons why you might want to consider purchasing a travel stroller:

  • A travel stroller is lightweight and easy to carry or push around most places, making it ideal for navigating airports or public transportation.
  • The best travel strollers are designed to be compact and easy to fold down, which means they take up less space in your luggage or hotel room.
  • Many travel strollers come equipped with features such as a reclining seat, which is great for allowing your child to take a nap while you explore your destination.
  • If you plan to travel by plane, a compact travel stroller is a must-have, as it can usually be carried on board and stored in the overhead compartment.
  • The best holiday strollers come with a carry strap and are lightweight, which makes them easy to carry through airports or up stairs in hotels that don’t have an elevator.

When purchasing a travel stroller, consider factors such as weight, size, and ease of use. Look for strollers that are durable and offer good value for money. With the right travel stroller, you can make traveling with a child much easier and more enjoyable.

Choosing The Best Travel Stroller 2023

When selecting a travel buggy for your baby, it is essential to consider various factors that meet your needs. 

When searching for the ideal travel pushchair, the first factor to consider is the purpose of the pram. Will you be using it solely for travel, or will it also be your primary stroller at home?

Additionally, it’s important to determine the type of travel you will be doing. Will you be embarking on road trips, air travel, or a combination of both? If flying, do you prefer a lightweight travel pram that can be checked in with your luggage or a compact stroller that can be brought onto the plane?

Answering these questions is crucial in finding the right stroller for your needs.

It’s recommended to purchase a lightweight travel pushchair that can serve both your travel and everyday use. This will save you money in the long term and eliminate the need for multiple prams.

If you’re seeking a lightweight pram that can be carried onto a plane, you will need to select a travel pram that meets the airline’s restrictions. This necessitates a super lightweight stroller that compresses efficiently to fit into overhead compartments.

Conversely, a compact travel buggy that is checked in with your luggage or checked at the gate does not have to comply with carry-on regulations. However, it should still be lightweight and compact to avoid occupying too much space in your car and leaving little room for the rest of your belongings.

Types Of Travel Strollers

A travel stroller is a type of stroller that is designed to be used specifically for traveling. These strollers are incredibly lightweight, typically weighing between 5kg and 6.5kg, and have only the bare essentials in terms of features. However, some everyday strollers are also lightweight and suitable for use as a travel stroller. Choosing the right stroller for your needs will depend on your individual circumstances.

There are several common types of strollers that you might consider for use as a travel stroller:

  • Travel Stroller : As the name suggests, a travel stroller is designed specifically for use when traveling. It is easy to fold up with just one hand, and once folded, it becomes very compact and easy to carry, often with a carry strap or bag. These strollers are made from durable materials to withstand the rough handling they may receive when being checked as luggage on a plane or lifted in and out of vehicles multiple times. However, they may lack features such as sunshades, storage baskets, and cup holders. Most travel strollers are also not suitable for newborns, as they are typically recommended for babies aged 6 months or older.
  • Umbrella Stroller: Umbrella strollers are similar in design to travel strollers and are often lightweight and low-priced, making them an affordable option for those on a budget. However, they are not as durable as travel strollers and may not be suitable for regular use. They lack many of the features found on everyday strollers, such as sunshades, storage baskets, cup holders, and the ability to recline. They are also typically not suitable for newborns and are recommended for babies aged 6 months or older.
  • Jogger: Although not commonly considered the best option for a travel stroller, jogger strollers can be lightweight and suitable for use as both an everyday and travel stroller. They are primarily designed for active parents who want to go running with their child. They typically feature larger, all-terrain wheels that can handle a variety of surfaces, as well as better suspension for easier pushing. They often come with a range of features, including large sunshades, the ability to recline, good-sized storage baskets, and cup holders. However, jogger strollers are not usually the lightest option for a travel stroller and may not be the best option for traveling by plane.

Age & Weight Of Child

When searching for a stroller, it is crucial to consider your child’s weight and age to ensure that the stroller can accommodate them properly. Different strollers are designed to cater to children of various ages and weights. Therefore, it’s vital to make the right selection for your child’s safety and comfort.

If you’re looking for the best travel stroller, you must identify your child’s age. Whether you need a stroller for a newborn, six-month-old, or a toddler, the type of stroller you choose will differ as not all strollers are suitable for newborns.

However, it’s worth noting that finding the best travel stroller for an infant under six months can be a bit challenging. Most strollers are designed for babies aged six months and above.

It’s also essential to consider the maximum weight capacity of the stroller. Some strollers can hold up to 15kg, while others can carry up to 25kg. Determining how long you want the stroller to last will help you choose the one with the appropriate weight capacity.

In summary, when shopping for a stroller, it is essential to consider your child’s weight, age, and the maximum weight capacity of the stroller. By doing so, you’ll be able to select the right stroller that will keep your child safe and comfortable while you’re on the go.

Size and Weight

Selecting a fold-up stroller for travel requires careful consideration of its weight and size. These factors are crucial because you will need to carry the stroller occasionally while travelling. In some destinations such as Europe and Asia, finding hotels with lifts can be challenging, which makes it even more crucial to have a lightweight stroller. Additionally, a heavy stroller can be frustrating to move in and out of a car.

The weight of the stroller is particularly important if you plan to use it during air travel. If you intend to bring it on board, the stroller must weigh less than the carry-on weight limit of approximately 7 kilograms to fit into the overhead compartment. Furthermore, it must fold compactly to save space. Alternatively, you can choose to check the stroller in with your luggage or at the gate.

Even if you plan to travel by car, you should still select a stroller that is not too bulky and won’t occupy all the space in the car boot. Leaving enough space for luggage is essential.

When considering the size and weight of the stroller, it is crucial to balance these factors with the stroller’s features. Generally, the lighter and more compact the stroller, the fewer features it will have. You must decide which features are essential based on your individual needs and circumstances.

In summary, when selecting a fold-up stroller for travel, consider its weight and size carefully, and balance these factors with the stroller’s features to ensure a hassle-free travel experience.

Foldability and Portable

When it comes to choosing a travel stroller for your little one, it’s crucial to consider its weight, size, and ease of use. After all, even the lightest and most compact stroller will be of little use if it’s too cumbersome to fold or carry. This is particularly important when you’re travelling through airports or staying in a hotel, where you’ll likely have to navigate with both your child and other luggage.

One of the key features to look for in a travel stroller is how easily it folds up. Airports often require you to put your stroller through an X-ray machine, so having one that folds quickly can save you time and stress. Some of the best travel strollers on the market can be folded up with just one hand and the push of a button, making them incredibly convenient for busy parents.

Another important consideration is whether the stroller comes with its own carry strap or bag. 

This can make it much easier to carry through the airport or up the stairs to your hotel room, especially if you’re already juggling other bags or your child. Look for strollers that are specifically designed for travel and come with features such as a carry bag or strap, as they are often more lightweight and compact than regular strollers.

In summary, when choosing a travel stroller, it’s important to look for:

  • Ease of folding
  • One-handed folding mechanism
  • Carry strap or bag for easy transportation
  • Designed specifically for travel purposes

When it comes to choosing a travel stroller for young children, one of the key features to consider is its ability to recline. A travel stroller with a good reclining feature can provide a comfortable space for young children to take naps even when you’re on-the-go, be it at a crowded airport or while sightseeing during the day.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that having a foldable travel stroller that reclines may add extra weight and bulk to your luggage. Nonetheless, if your child is still in the habit of taking daytime naps, then having this feature can be incredibly beneficial.

Here are some other key factors to consider when selecting a travel stroller for your child:

  • Weight and portability: Opt for a lightweight stroller that’s easy to carry and maneuver, especially if you plan on traveling frequently.
  • Storage: Look for a stroller that folds up compactly for easy storage in small spaces such as a car trunk or airplane overhead bin.
  • Safety: Choose a stroller with a sturdy frame and secure harnesses to keep your child safe during travel.
  • Durability: Invest in a stroller made of durable materials that can withstand wear and tear, especially if you plan on using it frequently.
  • Additional features: Consider strollers with features such as sun shades, cup holders, and adjustable handles for added convenience during travel.

By keeping these factors in mind, you can select a travel stroller that meets your child’s needs and makes travel easier and more enjoyable for both you and your little one.

Wheels and Shocks

Travelling to various countries will expose you to different types of surfaces, ranging from smooth footpaths to cobblestones and uneven footpaths with cracks. It is important to have a stroller with high-quality wheels and shocks to make pushing the stroller easy and provide a comfortable ride for your little one.

Rubber coated plastic wheels are not recommended as they are more prone to detaching when traversing uneven surfaces. Strollers equipped with pneumatic wheels filled with air or foam-filled wheels are durable and capable of handling rough, uneven terrain. To minimize bumps and discomfort, it is advisable to choose a stroller with a dependable shock/suspension system.

In summary, when choosing a stroller for travelling, keep the following factors in mind:

  • Look for strollers with pneumatic wheels or foam-filled wheels for sturdiness on uneven surfaces.
  • Avoid strollers with rubber coated plastic wheels that are more likely to come off.
  • Select strollers with good shock/suspension systems for a smooth ride.

When it comes to travelling with your baby, safety is the top priority. Choosing a lightweight stroller that meets the Australian safety standards is essential. The mandatory safety standard for prams in Australia is outlined in the Australian Standard – AS/NZS 2088:2000, which all pram manufacturers and sellers in the country must adhere to.

The AS/NZS 2088:2000 standard covers a range of safety features that strollers must have, including:

  • Parking devices with at least one brake to prevent roll away incidents
  • Tether straps to further prevent roll away incidents and ensure the stroller stays with the caregiver
  • Harnesses to prevent children from falling out of the stroller
  • Adequate head barriers and foot enclosures to prevent entrapment
  • No hazardous gaps that could lead to finger entrapment

It’s important to ensure that the stroller you choose meets these safety standards to provide the best protection for your child during travel.

Other Features

When it comes to travel strollers, there are a multitude of features available, but it’s important to remember that more features often means a heavier and bulkier stroller. That said, some features are worth considering, including:

  • A sunshade with ample coverage. This is particularly important for travel to hot and sunny destinations, as a compact umbrella stroller may not provide sufficient protection from the sun’s rays.
  • A collapsible design with a good-sized storage basket. While some parents may opt to carry their necessities in a daypack, having storage space on the stroller can be a convenient option. Detachable storage bags are also available for added convenience.

When selecting a travel stroller, it’s important to weigh the benefits of various features against the added weight and bulk they may bring. A stroller with a sunshade and ample storage may be ideal for some families, while others may prefer a more streamlined and lightweight option. Ultimately, the right travel stroller will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

Looking for the best travel strollers Australia 2023? We’ve found the 8 best travel prams to make your search easier! We’ve compared all the key features we know you’re looking for in a travel stroller – lightweight, compact, easy to fold, newborn options, extra features, as well as your budget!

Listed below in order of pricing – not necessarily preference – to make it easier for you to find your perfect travel pram.

Whether you’re planning a trip overseas or just need a compact pram for everyday adventures – hopefully one of these light strollers the right one for you!

Best travel strollers Australia 2023

NOTE: listed by price highest to lowest. RRP and market value as an approximate guide at the time of publishing – prices may vary or change over time.

*Note: All prams and strollers need to have a two-step fold mechanism – so any pram may require two hands to fold depending on your ability, hand strength and dexterity.

**In my opinion a “one hand fold” means you can fold while holding a baby and while the Edwards & Co and Easywalker Miley both have a one hand fold mechanism you need to manipulate the frame to fold.

BABYZEN YOYO2 – Customise Your Colours

best travel stroller australia 2023  babyzen yoyo2

The Babyzen Yoyo has been the most popular travel stroller for many years, however with so much competition in the travel stroller space now, they are rapidly losing their position in the market because they haven’t innovated or changed the product significantly since it was launched in 2012. Despite this, it’s still one of the most expensive options on the list.

Why choose a BABYZEN YOYO?

Overall the Babyzen Yoyo is light and compact, easy to push and offers parents a huge range of colours and accessories to customise their stroller just the way they like it. You can even replace the seat pad and hood set between children to keep your Babyzen Yoyo looking fresh.

Things to consider

The fold does take some practice, it’s fiddly and not like any other stroller you’ll have ever encountered. I’ve heard stories of people getting stuck with the YOYO at the gate boarding their plane because they forgot how to fold it. So make sure you practise before you’re under pressure!

Babyzen Yoyo Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Foldable Newborn Cocoon
  • Carry Cot (remove to fold)
  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Maxi Cosi/Nuna)

Joolz Aer+ – Travel in Luxury

best travel strollers australia 2023 Joolz Aer+

Right at this moment, the Joolz Aer+ is my personal favourite travel stroller and if I had to declare ONE stroller the best travel strollers Australia 2023 this would be it. Though it’s easy for me to recommend this luxury travel stroller when it’s not my money – because premium travel strollers do come with that premium price tag. But in my opinion it’s absolutely worth it (if you can stretch the budget.)

Why Choose the Joolz Aer+?

The fold is incredibly easy – folds super compact with one hand and in one smooth motion. With some practice, you can fold to a standing position so you don’t have to bend over to the ground to pick it up.

One feature that is difficult to describe but so important is the Joolz Aer+ has the nicest “pushing experience” of any other travel sized stroller. The first time I pushed one I was genuinely surprised that the Joolz Aer/Aer+ weighs about 6kgs because it has the “presence” of a much bigger pram. It just feels solid, sturdy, well made.

The fabrics, finishes, feel, the 10 year transferrable warranty, knowing that the fabrics are made from reclaimed plastics and every Joolz pram/stroller sold they plant a tree – feels like a more premium experience.

The Joolz Aer+ in Australia doesn’t have the full newborn recline like the overseas model, so still has the somewhat awkward recline mechanism of the original Joolz Aer. 

Joolz Aer+ Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Foldable Carry Cot
  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Infa Secure Adapt More)

Bugaboo Butterfly – Extend Your Bugaboo Family

best travel stroller australia 2023

Bugaboo launched the Bugaboo Butterfly last year (after discounting the Bugaboo Ant) and it is a very similar stroller to the Joolz Aer. This makes a lot of sense, they are similar brands with a similar position in the market, it makes sense that Bugaboo would be keeping an eye on what Joolz is doing to stay in line with them.

Why Choose a Bugaboo Butterfly?

I think the main reason to go for a Butterfly over a Joolz Aer would be if you’re already in the Bugaboo “family” because many of the accessories for your full-sized Bugaboo will fit the Bugaboo Butterfly – for example, the cup holder, organiser, footmuff, seat liner, phone holder, parasol and the nappy bag. As well as the Bugaboo Turtle capsule (with Butterfly adapters sold separately) HOWEVER, it seems unclear at this stage if the Bugaboo Wheeled Board will fit the Butterfly – it would be a big feature if it does for people who already own one.

While the fold is very similar to the simple one-handed fold of the Aer, the fold doesn’t lock in without some pressure applied. In all the Bugaboo videos showing folding the Butterfly, they fold the stroller to the ground before picking it up, and I’m just not sure if that’s ideal for the frame (getting scratches) or for your back (bending over that far).

Bugaboo Butterfly Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Bugaboo/Nuna/Maxi Cosi)

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 – Best All-Rounder

best travel stroller australia 2023 baby jogger city tour 2

The Baby Jogger city tour 2 is one of the most popular travel strollers in Australia right now and before the release of the Joolz Aer was my personal favourite travel stroller. However the city tour 2 is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for a mid-range travel stroller (because I understand not everyone is looking to spend $650+ on a stroller!)

Why Choose the Baby Jogger City Tour 2?

If you’re looking for a lightweight, compact, easy to use, quick fold travel stroller that is also perfect for just throwing in the car for quick errands and zipping around the shops AND had a full recline for newborns or proper naps then the Baby Jogger city tour 2 is for you! It just ticks all the boxes and is available to purchase at any almost every baby store in Australia.

*The fold mechanism can be a little tricky to do with one hand for someone with limited strength or coordination in their fingers (for example if you’re looking at this for a grandparent to use). The simple solution to this – fold with two hands. Also I have made a very detailed video going step by step on how to fold and open if you are struggling.

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Newborn approved seat recline.
  • Carry Fold (remove to fold)
  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Baby Jogger city GO Capsule)

Redsbaby Skip – Fan Following

best travel stroller australia 2023 redsbaby skip

Redsbaby is a brand you won’t find in retailers, they are sold directly through Redsbaby themselves, which is an Australian-based company (still manufactured overseas like everyone else, but owned in Australia). And Redsbaby does seem to have a pretty solid fan base despite not appearing in regular retailers. Though you can go along to Redsbaby Demo Days in your state to have a play in person.

Why Choose a Redsbaby Skip?

The Redsbaby Skip is a bit like a more affordable Mountain Buggy Nano. In fact, if you look at the overall shape and design they do appear very similar and they have the same features. Also because Redsbaby sells directly to the consumer they can offer a bit better value for money compared to retailers.

Not being able to try before you buy is one thing, but also not having a local retailer to take your stroller to for assistance if something goes wrong would also be something I’d suggest taking into account.

Redsbaby Newborn Options:

  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Maxi Cosi)

Edwards & Co Otto – Great Value For Money

best travel stroller australia 2023 edwards & co otto

Edwards & Co Otto is another stroller that looks and feels quite a bit like a Mountain Buggy Nano, and they take it one step further by also being a New Zealand brand, just like Mountain Buggy.

Why Choose an Edwards & Co Otto?

The Edwards & Co Otto is a pretty sweet all-rounder and does offer great value for money. The recline is for newborns, one-handed fold, and the included carry bag can be towed with the rear wheels out for easy transport.

One small thing to know is you will need to take the rear wheels off the Edwards & Co if you are travelling, however for everyday use you would just leave them on when folding for the boot of your car.

Easywalker miley² stroller – best on a budget.

best travel stroller australia 2023 easywalker miley2

The EasyWalker Miley² is an update on the previous model – not a huge overall, but some sensible little refinements including the taller, more upright seat, little bit lighter weight, better basket access and leatherette covers on the bumper bar. 

Why Choose an EasyWalker Miley²?

If you’re not really planning to use your travel stroller for much more than travelling, the EasyWalker²  Miley will do the job. It does have a newborn recline and it is quite compact and lightweight. It will also help offset your carbon footprint from travelling as the fabrics are made from recycled plastic bottles.

It’s not strictly carry-on luggage size, so it would be wise to check with your airline before travelling. However you should be able to get the EasyWalker Miley²  to the gate, you just may not be able to get it on board with you (which personally I think is fine, you’re not using the stroller on the plane anyway)

EasyWalker Miley² Newborn Options:

  • Seat only – no capsule or cot options. 

Karion Travel Stroller – Ultra Compact & Australian Owned

best travel stroller australia 2023 karion kids travel stroller karion stroller

Karion is a new Australian brand based out of Geelong Victoria, and I have to start with saying I love puns and dad jokes so they had my attention straight away (Karion = Carry-on) I also love supporting Australian based businesses. 

Why the Karion travel stroller

Firstly – the ultra-compact fold. The sides of the Karion Travel stroller fold inward making it EXTREMELY compact. Despite the size it does have the full recline which does set it apart from other ultra compact strollers. As well as the adjustable calf support. Also I cannot get over how much I love the included carry bag – it comes with a padded backpack style bag – the Karion carry bag doubles as a handy bag to take along on day trips while travelling.

With strollers there are always compromises – the lighter and more compact a stroller is the less features it will have and the less “solid” it’ll feel when pushing. So the hood is mostly there for decoration and the recline is operated with zips. However, I think they’ve done well choosing a quality seat fabric that will have added weight. Because you can always add on a universal sun cover for extra protection. 

Karion Travel Stroller Newborn Options:

  • 6months+ only. No capsule or cot option.

How does the new Joolz Aer+ basket compare to the Butterfly? Was there any improvement there?

Hi Megan, great questions! There’s not really any drastic difference with the Aer+ basket – I believe the basket might have a slightly bigger volume but seeing the Joolz Aer and AER+ side by side I couldn’t really see a difference between the basket size.

The key updates with the Aer and Aer+ are bigger hood, update on the harness (the shoulder straps are a bit easier to use) also the new fabrics are made from recycled plastics (the Are only the Refined Black was made from recycled materials) and the belly bar (that’s sold separately) folds in with the stroller now.

Otherwise nothing huge has changed. Unfortunately Australia didn’t get the full newborn recline like the overseas models of Aer+.

I hope that helps!

Light, compact travel strollers to buy in Australia (2024)

Travel strollers

As a seasoned travel mum with heaps of experience exploring the globe with my little ones, I know firsthand the importance of reliable and compact travel strollers.

Whether you're jetting off to distant lands or road-tripping locally, having a light and versatile travel stroller is an absolute must.

For this reason, I've curated a selection of the finest travel strollers available in Australia. All my suggestions offer effortless manoeuvrability, space-saving foldability, and are designed to make international and airplane travel a breeze.

Further reading: How to keep young kids entertained on flights.

What to look for when buying a travel stroller

Lightweight.

Wonder Woman, you've already got two or three hand carry bags, one (if that) large luggage, and a tot to tote. That's more than enough lifting for you to regret the days you skipped weights at the gym.

Having the lightest possible travel stroller will help you get through the airport and go up the stairs on your tours more bearable.

I know the feeling: The nerves over bringing a travel stroller that 'might' not be allowed to go on board, requiring you to carry or drag your screaming child through the airport. Or feeling worried when checking in a stroller that could take up more space than you want it to due to its dimensions.

Good travel strollers need to be compact and take up as little space as possible when folded and used. IATA-compatible prams allow you to continue usage beyond check-in and pack it up for overhead cabin storage when you board the plane.

Easy folder

Have you ever needed to fold a stroller with one hand and all your useable body surface, while your toddler is struggling to streak free from your other hand's grip? At a shop entrance or at the parking lot, no less.

Well, you'll find yourself in similar situations when your travelling as a mum. A travel stroller that folds smoothly in a few seconds with a few deft moves will be perfect for you and your child as you take in the sights!

Cobblestone streets in Italy, uneven roads in Bali, rocky hiking trails in England.

You need a sturdy travel stroller that can weather all kinds of surface conditions with you as you see the world with your baby.

Look for strong features such as good metal frame design, durable textile choice, and wheel shock absorbers when shopping for a travel stroller.

Manoeuvrability

It's all in the wheels and framing.

Test out potential choices for travel strollers by wheeling them around the store, and especially around sharp aisle turns. This will help you check the smoothness and turn response of the wheels.

You don't want to be kicking or nudging your travel stroller with your baby in it when the thing starts acting like a busted shopping cart.

Safety features

More than the compactness, weight, and durability, your travel stroller should provide safe rides for your child.

Frame locks, wheel brakes, and security straps, and foot rests must be checked to see if the travel stroller has any parts that might pose injury risks to your child.

Just because they're smaller and less fluffy, does not mean travel strollers should feel skeletal.

An ergonomic design that accommodates and supports comfortable sitting and sleeping postures of your bub is a must. The fabric and padding used in the seat and straps should also be considered.

As with any important purchase, your budget must be considered.

While a higher price point might allow you more luxurious materials and innovative features, you are in no shortage of great travel stroller options at an affordable price.

Below, I will be sharing with you travel strollers I have found and wished I had bought for my kids.

Customer reviews

No matter how impressive the features of a travel stroller you're looking at, it's still important for you to hear what it does for those who have used them.

Read customer feedback by real customers and product reviews by baby care industry experts to know how your travel stroller options roll in the real world. This will make choosing the right travel stroller easier for you.

My pick of the best travel strollers in Australia 2023

Safe-n-sound glide lite stroller.

This one, I think, is a fantastic heavy-duty travel stroller.

With a huge sun shade to protect your child as they sleep under the summer sun, this lite pram is large enough to hold your baby from birth until they are strong enough to walk long distances on their own! Talk about enjoying years of getting your money's worth. While it's not small enough for plane cabin storage, it is compact and durable enough to be checked in along with your luggage, or stored in the car boot for your road trips.

You will also love its braking system and hand tether strap for better safety in steep inclines and crowded places. Oh, have I mentioned it's affordable too?

Recommended for ages: Newborn to 4 years

Stroller weight: 6.5 kg

Bugaboo Butterfly

This butterfly can fly with you and your little one in the sky!

I wish I had this when I visited the US with my kid. The one-second fold feature and the IATA-compatible size allow this stroller to be folded and stowed in the plane cabin, under the dining table, or on the metro's overhead racks in less than 5 seconds. How convenient! That ease is something you'll appreciate even more when travelling unassisted in big cities and busy centres.

While on the pricier end, this travel stroller can be considered a great investment and comes with an extended 4 year warranty, guaranteeing a long service that will see your child grow and explore the world, rain or shine.

Recommended for ages: 6 months and older (up to 22 kg)

Stroller weight: 7.3 kg

Bugaboo Butterfly

Buy here: Bugaboo

Joie Nitro LX Stroller

Another affordable option and perfect for travel, this lite stroller comes with a foldable and removable sun canopy and closes like an umbrella, making it compact enough to endure the rumble and tumble in checked baggage cargo.

It fully reclines to allow your kid to sleep comfortably, has a 5-point harness with shoulder that covers wheel suspension, and uses SoftTouch harnesses- all these come together to make the ride smooth and comfortable, even on uneven surfaces.

Recommended for ages: Newborn and older (up to 22 kg)

Stroller weight: 7.8 kg

Joie Nitro LX Stroller travel strollers

Buy here: Baby Bunting

Ickle Bubba Discovery Stroller

Tres chic! This one caught my eye because of its stylish design. Browsing through its features, it looks just as great as a travel stroller for adventurous mum and bubba.

The leatherette handles and bars make cleaning easy with wipes, the hood viewing window will allow you to check bubba without having to pull the entire hood up, and the bumper bar opens like a gate for easy access when you have to feed and change your baby.

This stroller comes with a rain cover that will allow you to frolic and watch nature together, even when it drizzles. It also has a footwarmer, calf support, ventilated roll up fabrics, and a cup holder to help keep your baby comfortable and hydrated, whatever the weather. For extra safety on bumpy terrain, this mid-priced stroller's front swivel wheels are lockable.

Recommended for ages: Newborn and older (up to 20 kg)

Stroller weight: 7 kg

Ickle Bubba Discovery Stroller

Valco Baby Snap Ultra P Stroller

I would have loved this pram when I still had my car with the small boot.

Loved by so many Aussie parents for being light and compact, this midnight black travel stroller has 3 recline positions. You can prop this one up forward-facing, rear-facing, or the seat completely removed and replaced with bub's car seat! This lite pram can be folded completely without removing the seat it comes with.

It has an adjustable footrest and a removable bumper for your growing child. This is a travel stroller for the long haul.

Stroller weight: 8.2 kg

Valco Baby Snap Ultra P Stroller travel strollers

Buy here: Catch

The Karion Travel Stroller

Last but definitely not the least... An IATA-compatible and wearable 5.5 kg travel stroller.

I know! Watching this travel stroller get folded and unfolded blew my mind and almost made me want to have another baby to put in it.

Fantastic for domestic and international travel, this super lite pram is so compact and small that it can fit in most airline overhead bins. It comes with two carry bag options, which allow you to wear it either as a backpack or a shoulder bag as you go transit through airports and train terminals.

While it might not be able to hold a lot of things in its basket (2 kg capacity), it has fantastic manoeuverability, has responsive brakes on both back wheels, and can be easily pushed with one hand. I just know this is a best friend to a lot of mums who are walking with their family for eternity, it seems, at the airport.

Recommended for ages: 6 months and older (up to 18 kg)

Stroller weight: 5.5 kg

Mountain Buggy Nano

SafeWise experts have years of firsthand experience testing the products we recommend. Learn how we test and review . 

Choosing a pram is one thing, but if you’re planning to travel with a little one (whether it’s on a plane or in the car) then a bulky day-to-day pram might not be the best option to take with you. Whether you’re looking for a pram that can do both, or want to buy a separate travel pram to take with you on trips, we’ve rounded up the best.

The Mountain Buggy Nano is sturdy yet lightweight and has taken out the top spot for best travel prams. It includes a travel satchel and weighs less than 6kg, so it’s the ultimate easy-to-transport travel pram.

Here are the best travel prams

  • Mountain Buggy Nano : Best travel pram overall
  • Joie Nitro LX Stroller : Best budget travel pram
  • BabyZen Yoyo : Best pram for air travel
  • Baby Jogger Tour 2 : Best pram for car travel
  • Edwards and Co Otto : Best travel pram runner up

Compare the best travel prams

Prices are accurate as of post date. Read full disclaimer .

1. Mountain Buggy Nano: Best overall

The Mountain Buggy Nano comes in as our number one pick for best travel prams.

Oh, let me count the ways. It’s supremely lightweight, coming in at just 6kg, yet feels sturdy and durable - important if it’s doing a lot of travelling. It’s got an easy two-step fold and is suitable for a newborn up to 15kg. It folds into its own travel satchel, and should fit into the overhead locker on planes (always check with your airline first). It’s also easy to manoeuvre - important if you’re exploring the streets of a new city - and has a 5kg basket to pop in any souvenirs or light shopping.

2. Joie Nitro LX Stroller: Best budget travel pram

The Joie Nitro LX Stroller is great value for money - not only does it retail at less than $200, but it's also suitable for bubs up to 22kg, meaning you’ll be able to use it for longer than some other travel prams, which is why it’s taken out our best budget pick. It’s also lightweight, coming in at 7.7kg, has ergonomic foam handles for extra comfort and is easy to wheel around. Plus, the ‘Laurel’ colour is very nice.

3. BabyZen Yoyo2: Best pram for air travel

There’s one travel pram that’s universally accepted to be brought on as carry-on luggage by pretty much every airline, and that’s the BabyZen Yoyo2 (however just to be safe you should always double check with your airline to see if your pram can be put into overhead luggage compartments). It weighs a tiny 6.2kg, holds up to 22kg, is suitable for a newborn, plus when popped into its carry bag, can be worn over the shoulder, making it easy to carry around airports. It’s on the ‘spenny side for a travel pram, but many find the peace of mind knowing it’ll most likely be accepted by airlines is worth the price tag.

4. Baby Jogger Tour 2: Best pram for car travel

Sometimes travel doesn’t mean big trips and long flights - sometimes it’s just travelling down the street to the shops.

The Baby Jogger Tour 2 folds nice and compact and comes with a carry bag, so you can slide it into the boot of your car with plenty of room for everything else. If you’re looking for a secondary pram that lives in your car, the Baby Jogger Tour 2 is a great option.

We chose the Baby Jogger Tour 2 as our travel pram, as our Uppababy was too big and bulky for our car. The baby Jogger lives permanently in our boot and has been on many trips with us. It’s not as sturdy as our Uppababy, and the canopy isn’t as extensive as we’d like, but for trips - whether interstate to visit family or just down to the supermarket to pick up the groceries, it’s been a fantastic secondary pram, leaving plenty of boot space for our travel cot, luggage or groceries.

5. Edwards and Co Otto: Also consider

Whether you want to load the pram into the car on the reg, or have something lightweight and easy to manoeuvre around an airport, then the Edwards and Co Otto pram is a strong contender as a travel pram.  It’s suitable for newborn right up until they’re 20kg, plus has a one-hand fold making packdown easy. And it’s got a sub-$400 pricetag.

There’s nothing quite like making family memories on holiday. Whether you’re travelling by plane or car, overseas or over the road, a travel pram should be two things above all else: compact and lightweight. Go forth and voyage!

What prams are allowed on planes?

This is pretty much up to the airline you’re travelling with, so be sure to check with them before you travel. The BabyZen YoYo2 is generally the most accepted travel prams to be allowed in overhead compartments, but plenty of other travel prams meet the criteria, too.

What about the best every day prams?

Great question! We actually have the answer right over here at our guide to the best prams in Australia.

How we reviewed the best travel prams

For our reviews of the best travel prams, we research extensively and look at factors like weight, compactness, price, durability and additional features. We also took into consideration third-party information like user reviews.

Best Travel Strollers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed by Parents & Experts

Lightweight and compact, a travel stroller can help make your next family vacation a little bit easier., by jen labracio | medically reviewed by holly peretz ot.

Pinterest logo.

If the thought of trying to wrangle your full-size stroller on your next family adventure feels daunting, it’s time to consider a travel stroller.

Travel strollers make leaving home with your little one a little bit easier and a lot more convenient. Today’s travel stroller is a minimalist’s dream. Most have many of the same high-end features as traditional strollers all rolled into a compact, portable package. Many travel strollers break down to fit in the overhead bin of a plane or can be folded down quickly (and with one hand—win) and slung over your shoulder. Many parents even use them as their day-to-day stroller.

If you’re a family who’s frequently on the go, a travel stroller may be the answer to help lighten your load and simplify your life. We’re sharing Babylist parents favorites and bestselling picks to help you narrow down your search. I also added my own thoughts and picks from the countless travel strollers I’ve tested over the last decade as a mom of two and in my role as Babylist’s Gear Editor.

Nuna PIPA urbn & TRVL LX Travel System - Caviar - $950.00.

Nuna PIPA urbn & TRVL LX Travel System - Caviar

  • Baseless infant car seat, installs in seconds
  • Stroller has one-handed fold, weighs 13 pounds
  • Car seat weighs just 7 pounds

What Our Experts Say

If you know you’ll frequently be traveling while your baby is an infant, you may want to invest in a travel system (a stroller and car seat that attach to each other; here’s more on how to pick a travel system ). This combo is the best of the best, and what I wish I’d had when I was a new mom living in New York City seven years ago and didn’t own a car. It combines the ultra-popular TRVL, the brand’s first dive into the lightweight stroller market, with the urbn, a first-of-its-kind car seat.

What’s so special about a baseless car seat? Most infant car seats can be installed without a base, but require a seat belt—along with time and patience. That’s not the case with the urbn. There’s no base to worry about AND the latch system is built right into the seat’s base. I was blown away by how quick and easy this seat was to install. I pressed a button on each side and pushed to attach it directly to my vehicle’s lower anchors—that’s it. It’s about as foolproof as it gets, and especially ideal if you’ll be using your car seat on the go in rideshares or taxis. This is also our pick for best travel car seat .

As for the TRVL stroller, it’s just as great. The two standout features for me were its fold (one-handed, quick and ridiculously easy) and its compact size (it stands on its own and weighs just over 13 pounds. While not huge, the basket is large enough to hold your essentials (and a little more) and is easy to access, and the TRVL’s maneuverability is good enough that you’ll be able to steer easily with one hand.

What’s Worth Considering

The TRVL is on the pricier side and it doesn’t have a carry strap, but the maneuverability, suspension and versatility help explain the higher price point. I found it worked as a travel stroller, but also as an everyday stroller, too. There are also lots of thoughtful design details like magnetic buckles, a no-rethread harness and leatherette bumper bar and handlebar. The urbn car seat has a lower height limit than many infant car seats—not ideal, but not a huge dealbreaker, either.

Additional Specs

Best Travel Stroller for Toddlers

Bugaboo Butterfly Complete Stroller - Midnight Black - $479.00.

Bugaboo Butterfly Complete Stroller - Midnight Black

  • Four-wheel suspension for a smooth ride
  • Fast, easy fold
  • Included footrest and high seat back

There are two travel strollers I recommend again and again to families, and Bugaboo’s newest compact stroller, the Butterfly, is one of them. (The other one is the Joolz Aer+—more on that below!). This style-forward stroller is packed with thoughtful, impressive features, just like the brand’s popular full-size strollers. Two of my favorites (and there are many to choose from!) are the smooth ride and the quick, easy fold. The four-wheel suspension system means the Butterfly rides more like a traditional stroller than a compact one, a huge perk when I pushed it on anything other than smooth pavement and perfect for toting around my larger toddler. It moves and turns easily and I was able to steer it with only one hand, a huge plus. The fold is just as impressive; I also did it one-handed, and the Butterfly folds down to about the side of a small bag. (There’s also a built-in carry strap, a feature I value in any stroller, but especially one designed for travel.)

A few other things I love: it accommodates an infant car seat with adapters, so you can use it from day one, and the seat has a high back for larger kiddos and reclines almost fully for napping on the go. There’s even a footrest built in for extra comfort, another toddler-friendly feature. (My 95th-percent-in-height two-year-old still fits perfectly in it.) And the sun canopy on the Butterfly is one of the best I’ve seen of all the travel strollers on our list.

There’s not much to pick on with this stroller, minus its high price tag. The back wheels on the Butterfly are fairly close together. That setup, combined with a handle that doesn’t extend (which is the norm for compact strollers), means that if you’re on the taller side like me (5’10”), you may kick the back of the stroller while you’re walking. And although I wouldn’t consider it heavy, it is one of the heavier travel strollers on our list by about three pounds.

Best Budget Travel Stroller

Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller - $79.99.

Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller

  • Great value
  • Extremely light—weighs less than 12 pounds
  • Easy fold but not as compact as others on our list

If you’re not looking to spend a lot on a travel stroller or you’re a family who doesn’t travel very often, the Kolcraft Cloud Light is an excellent value for an inexpensive stroller . It boasts lots of thoughtful features, especially considering the stroller’s price. Weight is the standout here—the Cloud Plus weighs less than twelve pounds, making it one of the lightest strollers on our list. The fold is also worth a second look. Although it’s not super compact (the stroller folds in on itself, much like an umbrella stroller, rather than in a tri-fold like many other travel strollers on our list), it’s quick and easy and you can do it with one hand, a feature we always appreciate especially when we’re on the go.

Other features to note include an extendable canopy with a peekaboo window, a parent tray with two drink holders and a large storage basket (it’s one of the biggest on our list).

The seat on the Cloud Plus has multiple positions but doesn’t recline completely flat. It has a lower weight limit than many of the strollers on our list—40 pounds—and doesn’t have much in the way of suspension and shock absorption. The fold is slim but not all that compact.

And remember—this stroller is under $100. It’s not going to compare to travel strollers five times its price in suspension, maneuverability, stability or materials. But, considering the price, it’s a great option if you don’t travel all that much but want a lightweight stroller option when you do.

What Babylist Parents Say

“Easily fits in the trunk of my car.” -Cora

Best Travel Stroller for Everyday Use

UPPAbaby Minu V2 Stroller - Jake - $399.99.

UPPAbaby Minu V2 Stroller - Jake

  • Great for travel + everyday use
  • Roomy storage basket
  • Shock-absorbing suspension for a smooth ride

UPPAbaby was one of the first stroller brands to dive into the “travel stroller that can also be used as an everyday stroller” category, and the Minu does both of these things extremely well. From your own neighborhood to wherever your travel adventures take you and to everything in between, the Minu offers all the conveniences of a day-to-day stroller in a travel-friendly package. A few of my favorite features are the one-handed fold, the huge sunshade, the comfy seat with multi-position recline and a roomy, easy-access basket. The spring-action, shock-absorbing all-wheel suspension makes for a smooth ride even over bumpy terrain, so it’s a stroller you can use both in the suburbs and in a city. The Minu stands when folded and features a carry strap and a storage bag for easy transport.

As-is, the Minu works for babies three+ months; that means if you want to use it with your newborn, you’ll need to add the bassinet and adapters , which will cost you.

The Minu folds compactly but is a little bulkier than some of the other strollers on our list when it’s broken down. It’s also a little heavier, weighing in at about 17 pounds. And the seat back is on the shorter side.

“Amazing stroller. Great for travelling (fits in overhead bin), shopping (takes up minimal trunk space), walks in the park (very smooth ride, even over grass!). Has oversized canopy to block sun and folds with one hand. Bought it for travel, but use it as our primary stroller because I love it so much.” -Jessica

Best Travel Stroller for Flying

Babyzen yoyo2 stroller bundle - black frame/olive.

  • Fits in overhead bin
  • Fast, one-handed fold
  • Options to customize color, add a second rider and more

The YOYO2 was ahead of its time in the world of compact strollers and remains a parent favorite both for travel and for families looking for a smaller, lighter everyday stroller option. This compact favorite fits in the overhead bin and is the stroller of choice for many light-packing parents who don’t want to deal with the hassle (or risk) of gate-checking a stroller when they fly. It performs like a champ off the plane, too, easily steering through crowds and through narrow spaces.

There’s one other unique thing to love here—the custom options. You can change out the seat and shade fabrics with a new color pack , add a custom footmuff for cooler temps, help your older kiddo hitch a ride on the stroller board and even add a storage bag that uses wheeled support so your stroller won’t tip. With adapters that are sold separately, you can also use this stroller with some of the best infant car seats from Nuna and Maxi Cosi, among others.

The YOYO2’s fold isn’t hard, but it’s not quite as easy as some of the other travel stroller picks on our list. (There are two steps, and it takes a little getting used to.) The canopy is on the shorter side. This travel stroller does come with a rain cover, but all the other extras and custom adds will cost you. (And this stroller is on the pricier side to begin with.)

“Fits in airplane cabin. We took it on so many trips!” -Emily

Best Compact Travel Stroller

Joolz aer + lightweight stroller - stone grey.

  • One-handed fold and compact carry
  • Comfy, contoured seat

I’ve tried a LOT of travel strollers in my day, and the Joolz Aer+ is the one I come back to again and again. Pushing it doesn’t feel much different than pushing much larger, much more expensive strollers—and that’s one of the things I love about it. The Aer+ has four-wheel suspension, a feature that’s not very common in travel strollers, so it maneuvers easily and glides smoothly even across uneven surfaces like bumpy sidewalks and dirt paths. That combined with the ridiculously easy one-handed fold, the compact design and the comfortable seat that contours to fit your child’s body makes this stroller a great choice for travel and for everyday use. (It currently occupies a permanent spot in the trunk of my car.)

The Aer+ is newborn-friendly and compatible with Nuna and Clek car seats (adapters sold separately), so it works if you want to use it from day one. The stroller folds small enough to fit in an overhead bin or to sling over your shoulder (carry strap included) and tote up and down stairs, on public transportation or anywhere else you need to go. It also comes with a rain cover and travel bag included.

The Aer+ is on the pricier side, but if you’re planning on using it for travel and for everyday, then the cost doesn’t seem as daunting. I also wish it came with a footrest instead of having to purchase one separately.

“It’s so easy to push and steer and SO easy to fold with just one hand. We use it as a travel stroller and often as our everyday stroller as well.” -Jennifer

Best Lightweight Travel Stroller

Zoe the traveler.

  • One-handed fold
  • Extended canopy, full recline

Lightweight, compact and travel-ready are the three features that come to mind when I think of The Traveler from Zoe. This aluminum-frame stroller is light enough for easy portability but durable enough to handle lots of different adventures. I love the one-handed fold and that it’s small enough to fit in an overhead bin if you don’t want to wrangle with gate checking your stroller on your next trip. There are lots of high-end features like an extended canopy, adjustable footrest and a near-flat recline. And don’t forget one of the best parts: The Traveler folds in seconds with one hand and stands on its own.

The Traveler isn’t compatible with any car seats so you won’t be able to use it with younger babies. There are also no straps or backpack included; if you want those, you’ll have to pay extra to add them on. And while it shines on smooth pavement, it’s not great on bumpy or uneven terrain.

Need a double travel stroller? Zoe’s The Twin+ is a great choice. It weighs under 20 pounds and fits through standard doorways but is comfortable and roomy enough for two children up to 45 pounds each. The fold is quick, easy and compact and the stroller is Disney-approved. And it can expand to a triple or a quad stroller with additional seats.

Best Value Travel Stroller

Baby jogger city tour 2 single stroller - jet.

  • Same one-handed fold Baby Jogger full-size strollers are known for
  • 3 ways to ride: infant car seat, bassinet or toddler seat
  • Padded seat with added depth

Travel strollers can get expensive. If you don’t want to spend $500+ on one, but you travel frequently and want a reliable option, the City Tour 2 is a great mid-priced pick.

Baby Jogger strollers are known (and loved) for their easy, one-handed fold—and this travel stroller is no exception. The City Tour 2 folds into a 19-by-23-inch rectangle and automatically locks closed. You can carry it by the handle or tuck it away in the included tote bag carryall while your little one explores. The stroller has a deep, padded seat and adjustable calf support to keep your kiddo comfortable. Plus, a huge UV 50+ sun canopy provides shade.

There’s suspension system in the frame isn’t great, making for a bit of a bumpy ride. Some parents wish the tote bag carryall had backpack straps for easier transport rather than a shoulder strap.

“I love that I can carry, open and fold it with one hand. It’s easy to maneuver and the only stroller I own. Perfect for city living!” -Amie

Best Infant Travel Stroller

Mountain buggy nano v3 stroller.

  • Comes with universal car seat adapter
  • Full recline seat
  • Ventilated backrest for airflow

The Mountain Buggy Nano stroller is the best of both worlds—a travel stroller that can also act as a travel system . Unlike most travel strollers, this one comes equipped with a universal car seat adapter so you can pop in your infant seat and be on your way with your newborn in tow. (You can also purchase the Cocoon Carrycot separately if you prefer a bassinet option.)

The Nano is lightweight and compact enough to fit easily into many carry-on luggage units on planes and trains or in a trunk, and the travel bag has a handle and strap for portability. The narrow width and front-wheel swivel makes it good for use on city streets or other tight spaces and the seat features a full recline perfect for naps.

There’s no suspension system and no peekaboo window. You need to use two hands to fold the Nano. (Although it’s still really easy.)

“It folded up so small that it fit on the plane as a carryon but it also handled really well on european cobblestone” -Nikki

Best Umbrella Stroller for Travel

Summer 3d lite convenience stroller.

  • Easy to maneuver
  • Umbrella-style fold is bulky

Umbrella strollers used to be the norm in the compact stroller category. That’s changed over the last five years or so, but if you still prefer one for travel, the Summer 3D Lite should be on your list.

The 3D Lite is a great all-around travel stroller. It’s light (about 13 pounds), features a simple, compact fold and a built-in carry strap, has a seat that lays nearly flat and boasts an ample storage basket. The ride isn’t super cushy, but it’s not all that bumpy, either. And at well under $100, it’s an incredible value for a stroller with this many great features.

Since this is an umbrella stroller, you won’t find the compact tri-fold that parents love so much about many travel strollers.

“It is so easy to travel with - we used it on a cruise ship, in various airports, and for all our daily errands.” -Jeanine

Also Worth a Look…

The world of compact travel strollers has exploded recently, flooding the market with lots of options. Here are a few other travel strollers worth a look:

  • The Bumprider Connect 3 Stroller ($599.99) is totally unique. It features a magnetic lock system that allows you to join two or more strollers together. It’s pricey, though, especially if you need more than one.
  • Evenflo Gold’s Otto ($199.99) is a competitively priced self-folding, lightweight stroller with a high weight limit (55 pounds) and a two-position adjustable footrest.
  • The Inglesina Quid ($299.00) fits in an overhead bin and offers thoughtful features like a self-standing fold, an extendable canopy and a large flap on the hood that fully retracts for ventilation on warm days. The Quid weighs in at only 13 pounds.
  • We analyzed results from Babylist’s Best Baby Products survey, which polled 6,000 Babylist users and asked them to share the baby products they love the most and why.
  • We utilized insight from the Babylist editorial team, including Gear Editor Jen LaBracio, an expert in the baby space for over six years and a mom of two who has written hundreds of baby gear guides and personally researched and tested hundreds of baby products, including many travel strollers.
  • We reviewed customer reviews from hundreds of real Babylist parents.

Some families use a traditional stroller for everything, even traveling. But having a lighter, more nimble travel stroller pays off when you really need it: for airports, narrow city sidewalks , public transportation or just to lighten the load.

Here are some of the pros and cons of using different types of strollers for travel:

  • Traditional stroller: Everyday strollers typically have convenient features like lots of storage space, cup holders and trays, and large canopies. Some may also have all-terrain wheels and accommodate an infant car seat. But they’re heavier and bulkier to fold, which makes using and storing them in tight spaces more difficult (think: narrow doorways, airplane overhead bins, small car trunks).
  • Umbrella stroller: Bare-boned and exceptionally lightweight, umbrella strollers often lack many amenities you find in traditional strollers like adjustable seats and cup holders. They have skimpy canopies, minimal cushioning and seat support and don’t fold small enough to fit in airport storage bins. You also can’t push an umbrella stroller with one hand. Umbrella strollers are good for when you occasionally need a slimmer, fast-fold stroller.
  • Travel stroller: Sometimes also called a lightweight stroller, travel strollers strike a balance between traditional and umbrella stroller styles. They’re lighter than the standard stroller, easy to fold and compact in size when collapsed. (Some travel strollers fold in half, called a square fold, while others feature a more compact tri-fold.) Travel strollers have some full-size amenities like large sun canopies and a storage basket and most even have extras like cup holders.

Figuring out the best stroller to use for travel often comes down to what type of trade-offs you want to make around budget , space and personal preference.

  • Some traditional strollers offer a compact fold that’s great for travel, but the stroller weighs a ton.
  • Umbrella strollers tend to be affordable but require two hands for pushing and only offer a vertical fold.
  • Compact travel strollers are light, portable and easy to steer but come at a cost.

Before you invest in a travel stroller, think through:

  • How often you travel
  • How much money you want to spend
  • Where you’ll be storing your stroller when it’s not in use

Also note that lots of parents find that a travel stroller can work just as well as a full-size option for everyday use; just keep in mind that unless the travel stroller you choose is compatible with an infant car seat or comes with a separate infant kit, you’ll need to wait to use the stroller until your baby is six months old and can sit up unassisted.  

A travel stroller should be easy to take with you on trips and be a comfy spot for your little one, especially since your child will probably spend more hours in it while traveling than at home. Consider these features as you research and shop:

  • Size and weight. You’re going to be lifting, carrying and storing your travel stroller often, so the stroller’s size and weight is important. Look for one that’s lightweight and manageable. Also pay attention both to the folded and unfolded size of your travel stroller. Hoping to If you’re planning on using it for an older toddler, also be sure it’s large enough to accommodate them.
  • Fold. There’s also a lot of folding and unfolding a stroller during travel, whether it’s to take it in and out of your car, stash it under a table at a restaurant or storing it in the overhead compartment of an airplane. Choose a travel stroller with a quick, easy fold, preferably one you can do one-handed.
  • Maneuverability. Not all travel strollers are created equally. Some offer much more maneuverability and a better suspension system than others; however, these features often come at a cost. Thinking through how often you’ll be using your travel stroller and what types of terrain you’ll encounter most often can be helpful in determining whether or not a more expensive stroller is worthwhile.
  • Canopy size. Most travel involves at least some, if not a lot, of outdoor time. A large canopy is essential for protecting your little one from the elements, especially the sun.
  • Comfort and convenience features. Similar to a full-size stroller, look for features that will make you and your little one more comfortable, especially while traveling. Things like an adjustable seat with a full or nearly full recline, an ample storage basket, an adjustable handlebar and easy to clean fabrics are all important. And don’t forget a built-in strap or a separate carrying case for easy transport.

Bringing a stroller with you on trips can seem daunting. How do you get it from point A to point B when you’re flying ? Will it count toward your carry-on and baggage allotment? And what if you need to use your stroller in the airport? Good news: You can pick how you want to travel with your stroller, depending on your needs. Here are the choices:

  • Check the stroller with your baggage: Some parents unload the stroller during check-in and switch to using a baby carrier through the airport instead. Pair a front carrier with a backpack-style diaper bag so your hands will be free to deal with other things (like the toys that will make your trip a breeze ). Note that if you have a large stroller, you may be required to check it as baggage anyway. This usually doesn’t count toward your baggage allotment.
  • Check the stroller at the gate: Want to use the stroller until you board the plane? You can check the stroller with the gate agent—it just needs to be tagged—and then pick it up outside the aircraft door when you arrive. (Just remember if you have a connecting flight to catch, waiting for your stroller to be placed on the jet bridge can eat up precious time.)
  • Stow the stroller on the airplane: Some travel strollers fold up so small they fit in a backpack and can be stored in an overhead bin. Having your stroller with you eliminates the hassle of waiting for it on the jet bridge or at baggage claim (or losing it).

Some other air-travel tips to keep in mind:

  • If you check the stroller with baggage, you do run the risk of damage. If you’re not using a travel stroller bag, ask the agent at check-in for a plastic bag to cover and protect it during transport.
  • If you’re taking the stroller through security, it will need to be folded and put through the X-ray machine. Don’t stuff the undercarriage basket until after security.
  • If your checked stroller doesn’t come out with the suitcases at baggage claim, check the oversized luggage area. It may have been set aside there (this may also be where your travel crib is, if you checked one).

Do you need a travel stroller bag?

How you plan to use your travel stroller will affect whether or not you need a travel stroller bag.

If you plan on flying with your stroller then you’ll probably want to use a travel stroller bag, especially if you don’t plan on stowing your stroller in the overhead compartment of the plane (either because you don’t want to or because it won’t fit). A checked stroller, even one that’s gate checked, may get tossed around quite a bit while in transit, so you’ll want a travel stroller bag to keep it protected.

If you’re not planning on flying much with your stroller or if you’re simply using your travel stroller as a more lightweight day-to-day option, then a travel stroller probably isn’t a must-have.

Some travel strollers come with a travel bag while others require you to purchase one separately, so check with your particular brand. There are generic travel stroller bags that may work, too.

Thankfully, my wife and I come prepared. The Bugaboo Butterfly travel stroller is a godsend when running around with small humans . It opens quickly and easily, it’s light and portable, and it holds kids up to fifty pounds. That means even though my two-year-old daughter is usually the one hitching the ride, when my five-year-old son’s legs get tired (or a sibling rivalry inevitably rears its head), he can hop in there, too.

All of which is to say that when the Koenig clan finally does arrive at the gate, all four of us are in relatively good spirits—even the two year old. The Bugaboo is a great get, but there are a number of other travel strollers out there that could be a good match for you and yours. Read our full breakdown of the varieties we’ve tested and reviewed.

The Butterfly is aptly named, as it feels like it is actually floating over the ground, even when on grass and gravel. The seat must be especially comfortable, because my two year old surely would have let me know in no uncertain terms were it not. The cargo space on the Bugaboo is good enough for emergency drinks, snacks, Mom’s bag, and Dad’s travel hoodie.

Opening and closing the Butterfly is a cinch, and with Irish blood on both sides, my kids appreciate the sun canopy as well. The stroller is small enough to keep as a carry-on, but if you do decide to check it, be sure to fold up the footrest so it doesn’t get damaged in transit.

There’s not much to dislike about the All-City stroller, and that includes its price point, which is a good chunk less than the Bugaboo’s (right in the $300 range, depending on when and where you shop).

This is a stroller with comfortable padding in the seating area and folding mechanisms that won’t induce public meltdowns (from dads, not toddlers). It’s also rather maneuverable and has a silky ride that is really impressive. The only bona fide knock against it is that at 17.6 pounds, it’s pretty bulky, and without a shoulder strap, heaving it around is a real workout.

For an item that costs around $100, the Classic Stroller from babyGap can take a beating. That’s a pleasant surprise for those of us dads who tend to hulk out on things from time to time. (Hi, it’s me. I’m the problem, it’s me.)

This stroller also has a comfortable seat with a five-point harness and a sun canopy overhead with a peekaboo window so you can keep an eye on Junior. The only thing not to like about it is that the folding lock on the bottom-right side takes a little getting used to, which might annoy impatient dads... Not that I know anyone like that.

The most minimalistic of the strollers on this list, the Contours Itsy Lightweight Travel Stroller reminds me of something my wife says every time I float the idea of buying a new car. She points out the window at the old beater in our driveway and says, “Does it still roll?”

This stroller has no cupholders and limited storage space. It also doesn’t recline, which might be an issue for bigger kids. But it does, in fact, still roll—rather smoothly at that. And at just 12.3 pounds and $170, this will be a sensible option for many.

Before I had kids, I used to think I wanted twins. What a sweet and innocent child I was. One kid at a time has been plenty for me, and for those dads in the trenches with twins, you have my respect.

For you guys, the Uppababy G-Link V2 Stroller is a very solid choice. I think of it as the Cadillac of travel strollers—comfortable, smooth, and (obviously) rather large. It’s actually too big to keep as a carry-on, so be prepared to check it. But realistically, there is very little not to like here.

Since I’m a full-fledged suburban dad now, car seats are my current worry. But I lived in cities for twenty years of my life, so I am very sympathetic to space concerns. The best travel stroller out there for the urban denizens among us needs to be small and easy to maneuver—enter the Babyzen YOYO2.

This zippy little thing is great for weaving through armies of commuters on busy city sidewalks. It also folds up teeny, and at 13.7 pounds, it’s an easy carry with a padded shoulder strap. The only downside is that it’s not fond of rough surfaces, which is not really a big deal as long as you avoid New York City potholes.

You know that feeling when you’re cutting wrapping paper and the scissors begin to glide? That’s how it feels to push the Silver Cross. It’s also got a five-point harness and an adjustable footrest, plus it fully reclines. The sun canopy is workable if not the largest I’ve seen.

A fun trick is that this stroller folds into a little rolling-suitcase-looking thing—the leather-wrapped bumper bar turns into the handle. The main drawback here is that cargo space is at a bare minimum. The Silver Cross Jet 3 is best thought of as the roadster of travel strollers.

Traveling with infants—and really doing anything with infants, now that I say it out loud—has an added degree of difficulty. Gently put: You’re going to want all the help you can get. That’s why I like this entry from Doona. It doubles as a car seat and stroller, so it gets high marks for versatility. It is also ready right out of the box for newborns (many other strollers need to be adapted for kids under six months). And, best of all, for you cosmopolites out there, it’s approved by both U.S. and European authorities for air travel.

The one issue with this stroller is that its max weight capacity is thirty-five pounds, so your child will likely outgrow it quickly. But it’s great to save for a second kid or to share with friends.

What to Consider When Buying a Travel Stroller

line break

Don’t just trust our picks; see how we graded them.

Movement When you’re pushing around one, two, or (godspeed) three-plus kids, you want the stroller to make it easy on you. If you’re in the city, you only need it to be good on sidewalk asphalt and epoxied airport floors. If you’re in the burbs, gravel and dirt might come into the equation.

Weight When it’s folded up, you want it to be easy to handle. This is especially true for carry-on strollers.

Storage Everyone in the family has essentials: Baby’s snacks, Dad’s drink, Mom’s in-flight melatonin. A good stroller gives you space for all of it.

Ease of use Is it difficult to fold? Does it fit in an overhead bin? Is the carry-strap sufficient for its size? Stuff like this is important.

Versatility This is critical when you’ve got multiple kids and the older ones like to campaign for stroller privileges. What is the weight limit? Also, if a stroller can recline, it’ll be more comfortable for bigger kids.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
