Question and answer

Why can't I recline the seat, can it be fixed? Why is the cord at the back already stretched out, and the seat doesn't stop, it doesn't stay in place.

Have a brand new Modes 3 lite platinum. Forgot to install one of the washers for the wheel and now do not know how to remove the whee without breaking hubcap. Help,

I am trying to assemble a Modes 3 Lite Platinum stroller-car seat combination. I am having trouble putting the wheels on. Is there a video tutorial for this or can you give me the help I need Please respond as soon as possible. Thanks. A. Colombo

I was given a Graco Modes Stroller that appears to be very similar, but not quite the same as a Modes 3 Lite Travel stroller. I have two problems and will describe them in separate entries. The straps that allow the toddler seat to recline/be lifted do not appear to be properly threaded. The ends without the circular attachments come out of the bottom of the mechanism and go nowhere. Looks like they should be threaded thru the "channels" to the left and right, but then where do they go and how do they attach? Without fixing this, the seat will always be in recline mode. Thanks.

I was given a Graco Stroller without a manual that is similar to the Graco Modes 3 Lite Travel stroller. The model that I have does not have a pocket in the toddler seat that allows you to reach the release strap to fold the stroller. Is there a way to fold the stroller without removing the toddler seat? If not, is there a way to purchase a new toddler seat and where/how can I do that?

Turns out it is a Modes 3 Lite Platinum, still cannot locate the "pocket" for the release strap.

Well found the right manual, and successfully closed it with the under footrest lever.

Most Graco stroller models, especially those produced in the 21st century, can be folded with one tug. Others, especially older models, may require slightly longer procedures for folding, but should not be difficult to fold once you know what you are looking for.

Folding Older Models

Folding Newer Models

• Strollers that fold outward may not lock the tray into position while they do so. Remove the tray first to avoid it falling onto the ground and getting scratched or dirty.

Community Q&A

• If you are having trouble unfolding the stroller, look for a handle low on the stroller, near the seat base or wheels. These may need to be pressed, or moved up or down, in order to smoothly unfold the stroller. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

• Check the stroller seat for objects before folding. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 5

About This Article

To fold your Graco stroller, start by pushing down on the lever near the rear wheels with your foot to apply the brakes. If the canopy is open, fold it down as far as it will go. Then, recline the seat back as far as you can. Once the seat is reclined, look for a lever on the left or right-hand side of the seat. Depending on your model, you may have to push a button in the middle of the lever or simply pull the lever up. Afterwards, you can fold the stroller by pushing the back and seat together.

Best Lightweight Strollers

Top-rated strollers under 15 pounds that save you time, space, and hassle during quick errands or long road trips

Lightweight strollers are an ideal choice for traveling with babies and toddlers.

By Keith Flamer

Updated by Daniel Bortz

A bulky stroller can be a drag in the car, on an airplane, or in a crowded mall—not to mention on busy city streets. But a lightweight stroller can lighten your load.

“At CR, we consider a stroller lightweight and compact when it’s under 15 pounds and easy to carry,” says Joan Muratore, the engineer who oversees stroller testing at Consumer Reports. “You should be able to carry it in one hand and your child in the other. And it won’t take up your entire car trunk space .”

Some of the traditional and umbrella strollers, as well as car-seat carriers, that we’ve tested fit this description: In our stroller ratings , you’ll find umbrella strollers as light as 11 pounds and traditional strollers starting at 10 pounds. On the other end of the spectrum? Bulkier strollers weigh as much as 34 pounds.

While these lighter strollers are easy to lift, carry, fold, and stow—and most meet strict Disney theme park requirements—they do have limits. Some may feel flimsy, and their small wheels can make them more difficult to maneuver. Most aren’t car-seat compatible, and few accommodate babies who can’t sit up on their own. (For infants, consider a lightweight single car-seat carrier stroller .)

The best lightweight strollers are anything but lightweight performers in our tests. CR engineers put strollers through their paces in our labs and on the grounds outside our Yonkers, N.Y., headquarters to assess which ones are safe, maneuverable, and easy to use. They use each stroller the way parents do, but with weights simulating a child—up to 30 pounds for maneuverability and 40 pounds for safety—and push each model through an S-curve test course, steering them on pavement between cones, up and down curbs, and over obstructions including grass, mulch, and tree roots.

Our stroller ratings feature a wide range of options, from brands such as Graco, Joovy, Maclaren, Mountain Buggy, Uppababy, and more. Refer to our stroller buying guide as you shop, and if you have multiple young kids, see our guide to the best double strollers .

Here are six lightweight (but solid) strollers, listed alphabetically by category, that will take a load off when you’re out and about.

Best Lightweight Umbrella Strollers

Summer Infant 3D Lite

CR’s take: At just 12 pounds, this low-priced, compact Summer Infant umbrella stroller is a steal. This safe umbrella stroller is a top-notch choice for traveling with a child of 6 months or older, up to 50 pounds. The seat reclines, which is great for on-the-go naps. It’s easy to fold, unfold, and carry thanks to its convenient shoulder strap. It comes with a cup holder, extra-large undercarriage storage, and a small seatback pocket.

UPPAbaby G-Lite

CR’s take: The 11-pound Uppababy G-Lite self-stands when folded, a plus for stashing in your hallway or closet. Its restraint system is one of the highlights of this model: The buckle is easy to open and close, and smooth and easy to adjust for fit. The seat fabric/cover is removable and machine-washable. This model features a large canopy and carry strap for easy transport. Its maneuverability is very good—the stroller feels light (if a bit wobbly to some testers) and is a bit tough to navigate on rougher surfaces.

Best Lightweight Traditional Strollers

Baby Jogger City Tour™ 2

CR’s take: The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 is small and lightweight and earns strong marks across the board in CR’s tests. This 14-pound folded stroller should easily fit under an airplane seat or in an overhead bin when it’s in its included carry bag. Our testers find that the stroller is responsive and sturdy for its size. It has an easy one-hand fold. The basket is midsized but shallow (it holds a diaper bag and not much else). One caveat: Despite its name, this model is not suitable for jogging or running because it lacks a fixed or lockable front wheel, an essential feature to prevent the stroller from tipping or swerving while jogging.

Mountain Buggy Nano

CR’s take: The Mountain Buggy Nano is a great choice for travel. This compact, 13-pound stroller comes with its own carrying bag and reportedly fits in an overhead compartment for air travel. It’s car-seat-compatible, too. Our testers give this model’s ease of use and maneuverability strong ratings. There’s limited storage, but that might be a worthwhile sacrifice for the convenience. One thing to note: The instruction manual is largely pictorial and can be hard to decipher. We found instructional videos on Mountain Buggy’s website to be much clearer and more helpful.

Best Lightweight Car-Seat Carrier Strollers

Chicco KeyFit Caddy

CR’s take: The Chicco KeyFit Caddy offers parents click-and-go ease. Chicco’s KeyFit and KeyFit 30 infant seat just snap right in, no adapter needed. At 11 pounds, the small carrier stroller moves into and out of your car trunk with ease. (The car seat will add some extra weight, of course.) When folded, it’s self-standing. With an adjustable handle, it’s very maneuverable for a car-seat carrier, despite its small wheels. The large basket offers good accessibility, aided by front zippers. There’s also a parent console, with cup holders.

Graco Snugrider Elite

CR’s take: Running errands just got easier. The Graco Snugrider Elite tosses a lifeline to parents who’d otherwise find themselves buckling and unbuckling a newborn into and out of seats all day. As the top-rated car-seat carrier stroller in CR’s tests, this model alleviates much of the baby travel-and-transfer hassle. Parents can just click the infant car seat onto the lightweight frame (14 pounds) and go, even if your baby is sleeping. This stroller’s ease of use and safety are stellar, and it has very good maneuverability. There are some limitations, though: It lacks one-touch brakes and adjustable handles, and it doesn’t stand when folded. But it does meet Disney theme park requirements. Note that once your baby outgrows the infant car seat, you’ll need a new stroller.
