GB Lyfe Travel System Review

– the complete GB Lyfe Travel System review!

Weight: 35 lbs

The GB Lyfe is a super affordable travel system that’s suitable for both newborns and toddlers. It is a combination of the GB Lyfe stroller and the GB Asana infant car seat. 

It is a good quality stroller with multiple features like – a reversible seat, multi-position recline, and a self-standing fold. It is also referred to as a bassinet stroller because its stroller seat can also be transformed into a nice bassinet for your newborn. It gives you a nice alternative to the car seat for carrying your newborn. 

Here is a quick review of all the stroller’s features:

GB Lyfe Travel System Features

Bassinet Stroller: As a travel system, the GB Lyfe already includes a car seat. But in addition to this, the stroller seat can also be transformed into a nice bassinet for a newborn. This gives you even more options for riding the stroller! 

Newborn Stroller: You can use the GB Lyfe stroller from the birth of your child till they are much older! Using either the bassinet mode or the car seat, you can safely carry your newborn aboard the stroller. And once your baby is older, you can switch to using the stroller seat. 

Reversible Seat : In addition to being able to transform into a bassinet, the stroller seat can also be adjusted to either be forward facing or backwards facing. You can have your baby facing you or facing forward – gives you even more options for riding the stroller! 

Multi-Position Recline:   The stroller has an easy recline feature that lets you easily recline the stroller seat into multiple positions. With this feature, your kid can either sit up straight, lay back for a nice nap.

5-Point Harness: In terms of safety, the stroller seat has a 5-point harness system that helps to keep your baby safely strapped in. As babies tend to move around when you’re not paying full attention, the harness helps to keep them safely strapped in!

Storage Basket: This stroller has a large sized, front and rear accessible storage basket to carry all your on-the-go items. You can carry items like diapers, toys, or snacks for your trips!

Extendable Stroller Canopy: the stroller also has a large extendable canopy that helps provide enough shade for your baby. Great for really sunny days as it provides a lot of cover.

Self Standing Fold: The GB Lyfe has a quick fold feature that lets you easily fold it up in one step. It also folds up into a self standing position making it easy to store. 

Child’s Weight: Weighing up to 35 lbs and can be used from the birth of your baby till 50 lbs – up to 6 years old! The stroller is able to carry up to 50 lbs of child’s weight, while the car seat can only carry up to 35 lbs. 

GB Lyfe Stroller Reviews

While the GB Lyfe includes a lot of great features, we still need to look at the Pros and Cons. Here is a quick overview of the Pros and Cons for the GB Lyfe Travel System:

• Super affordable travel system – stroller + car seat 
• Newborn stroller: can be used from the birth of your child 
• Reversible Seat: can chat with or keep an eye on your child while you ride
• Quick One-Step fold feature
• Quite heavy at 35 lbs
• Fabric a bit flimsy

Based on the above, the GB Lyfe has quite a bit of Pros. For a super affordable stroller with a car seat, I’d say the GB Lyfe does really great in terms of features and value. The only Cons I could find were – the weights of the stroller and the fabric quality.

At 35 lbs, the GB Lyfe is quite heavy even for a full-sized stroller. This could be quite hard for smaller parents to carry or maneuver. And I won’t advise it if you don’t have a car to carry it around with. 

The other Con is with the fabric quality. It feels a bit more thin and flimsy compared to other strollers – although it costs way less. 

Lastly, in terms of feedback and reviews from parents who purchased and used the stroller, here is a quick overview of the Likes and Dislikes parents had about the GB Lyfe:

• Very affordable
• Quick and easy fold
• Can be used for newborn without car seat
• Includes parent cup holder
• Smooth and easy maneuver
• Car seat is too small
• Doesn’t ride smoothly on uneven paths
• Doesn’t include child tray

The GB Lyfe wheels are not all terrain therefore, a few parents did not find it to move nicely over uneven paths or unpaved roads. The stroller works better and smoothly over smooth terrains and sidewalks. 

Based on the stroller features and parent reviews, the GB Lyfe stroller gets:

GB Evoq 4-in-1 Travel System Review

The GB Evoq 4-in-1 travel system has a sleek and modern design and grows with your child. You can purchase Evoq as a stand-alone or as a travel system with GB Asana 35 infant car seat.

This is a very simple and affordable model with a lot of great features found in luxury strollers.

The GB Evoq stroller has a reversible seat with a deep one-hand recline suitable for a newborn, a huge canopy, an adjustable handlebar, an adjustable legrest, an automatic lock, and a large basket. The two-hand fold is very easy and you can fold it with the seat attached.

The Evoq is a full-size stroller that you can use every day for running errands, going to the park, or a stroll around the neighborhood. Since the wheels are not very big and are not all-terrain, they perform best on flat surfaces but can tackle some so-called mommy terrain if needed.

One of the unique features of Evoq is a built-in glider board for an older toddler. You can move the seat down on the frame to provide your child with more standing room. This buggy weighs only 23 lbs with the seat attached which is a couple of pounds lighter than your average reversible seat model.

Despite all the great features I gave this model only 3.5 out of 5 stars because while it’s very affordable, the quality is just not there. At first, I really liked it, but after using it for a few weeks I started noticing things.

The whole construction is very plasticky and cheaply made. The wheels are not as smooth as I would like them to be and it’s very hard to navigate with one hand. BTW, I’ve seen a lot of parents complaining about the wheels. The lack of a suspension system makes it a bumpy ride if you take it on rougher terrain. The fold is a little bulky.

Unfortunately, there is no bumper bar or other additional accessories available. I also wish it worked with other infant car seats and not only Asana 35.

You can get the GB Evoq travel system in one of the three beautiful colors for around $429. It comes with a cup holder (that sticks out on the side always bumping into things).

Buy GB Evoq 4-in-1 Travel System Stroller »

The canopy has two large panels plus one zipped-in panel that you can unzip to create more coverage. It goes all the way to the bumper providing full protection. There is also a large mesh panel with a cover that helps air circulation on a hot summer day. You can use it instead of a peekaboo window to check on your child.

The telescoping handle bar goes from 39” all the way up to 42” from the ground. Great for taller and shorter parents.

The seat is 11” wide with a 20” seat back and a measurement of 22” from the back of the seat to the top of the canopy. This is a very average seat size for a reversible seat stroller.

You can easily flip the seat by using two levers on the side of the frame. Again, this is a very common seat design that you can see on most of the reversible seat models.

One thing that I did notice was that the seat is a little rocky on the frame. It doesn’t really matter where on the frame it’s located and if it’s reclined or not, but you still get little back-and-forth motion especially when going over rougher terrain. I don’t think it’s a safety issue, but would like to see a firmer fit.

It has a one-hand lever recline that goes to an almost flat position suitable for a newborn. Since the seat is one molded piece, when you recline the back of the seat the whole seat reclines.

This lever recline is very easy to operate and is very smooth unlike some of the strap recline systems where you have to use both hands and a lot of effort. It has the same recline positions in both parent-facing and forward-facing modes.

The seat can accommodate a child from birth and up to 50 lbs. This lever recline is very easy to operate and is very smooth unlike some of the strap recline systems where you have to use both hands and a lot of effort.

The interesting thing about the Evoq model is that you can slide the seat down the frame when it’s in the forward-facing position. This is done so there is more room in the back for an older child to stand on the built-in glide onboard. BTW, you can also fold the stroller with the seat in the lower position.

In the photo below the seat is positioned lower on the frame so that an older toddler has more room on the built-in glide board.

GLIDER BOARD

Another interesting feature of Evoq is a built-in glider board. This is a small board located between two rear wheels that your toddler can use as a glider board when they are tired of walking.

This happens a lot to my daughter. LOL. Once I get far enough from my car I know there is no way I can carry that 35 lbs screaming bundle of joy all the way back.

If at 2 years you think I definitely don’t need a stroller anymore, wait till your child turns three. Their legs seem to get tired much quicker for some reason and the meltdowns happen more often. For me, terrible twos were not as terrible as terrible threes. That being said, gilder board is a great thing!

It has an adjustable padded 5-point harness with a center release buckle that is very easy to unlock. Your toddler might be able to escape :)

The adjustable legrest goes up and down. I noticed that in the upright position, it’s not completely up and still has a slight angle. The leg drop on the adjustable leg rest is 8”.

Although GB has also added a footrest for an older toddler that is a part of the stroller frame, I think it’s unusable since you can’t really move the adjustable legrest out of the way. It would be nice if the legrest could be adjusted slightly under the seat so the toddler could put their legs on the footrest.

The basket is a great size. It’s not very deep but is very easy to access from the sides and the front. It would be easy to access from the back too if there was no crossbar. For some reason they have a second crossbar going across that is very high and gets in the way. You will be able to fit your large diaper bag in it.

It has a one-step brake located near the right rear wheel that locks both rear wheels in place. It’s not flip-flop-friendly.

It rolls on four hard rubber wheels with 9.5” wheels in the back and 7.5” wheels in the front. The front wheels are swivel but can be locked straight. You can also easily remove the front wheels for more compact storage.

This is an average wheel size for a full-size stroller. For comparison Mamas&Papas Armadillo Flip XT rolls on 6.5” and 9” and Nuna Mixx rolls on 7” and 10”.

FOLD/UNFOLD

It’s a two-hand fold and you can fold it with the seat attached. First, make sure the seat is facing forward. Next, pull on two levers on the side of the frame and fold it down till you hear a click of the automatic lock.

This is not a very compact fold, but I like that it firmly locks in place without me jumping on top of it to activate the automatic lock. The folded dimensions are 37”L x 23”W x 20”H. For comparison, the Nuna Mixx is only slightly more compact at 18.6″H x 23.2″W x 35.5″L. One of the most compact models Armadillo Flip XT has a fold of 30″L x 22″ W x 10”H.

TRAVEL SYSTEM

Before, GB Evoq was available only as a travel system, but now you can also get it as a stand-alone. It works ONLY with their GB Asana 35 infant car seat (without any adapters).

You can just replace the seat with the GB Asana 35. Now, because you are not installing it on top of the seat like in many other travel systems, you are not going to be able to use the stroller’s canopy for additional sun protection.

I am not a big fan of the Asana 35 canopy. I think it can definitely be a little bigger or have some sort of sunvisor. The Asana 35 can accommodate a baby from 4-35 lbs and 32”.

The unique FirmFit System on the car seat base provides an easier installation when using the vehicle seat belt to install it. It provides the additional force of 20 lbs creating a tighter fit. You can also use the LATCH system.

-Cup holder. INCLUDED!

-No bumper bar. There is no bumper bar included and they don’t have it as an accessory either. There is also no child’s tray available.

-Bulky fold. As with most reversible seat strollers, it’s a bulky fold. You can remove the front wheels to make it more compact. The rear wheels are not removable.

-Rocking seat. Not a big deal, but the seat rocks a little back and forth. I don’t think there is a safety concern or anything like this, but it does get a little shaky when going over terrain. I would like to see a firmer fit.

-No suspension. I would like to see a suspension system added because it makes the ride much smoother for little babies. It’s also very hard to maneuver with one hand.

-Short canopy on the Asana 35 car seat. The canopy is really small and I would like to see some kind of pop-out sunvisor.

-Plasticky frame. The whole stroller felt very plasticky and cheaply made.

-Works only with GB Asana 35 infant car seat. I wish it worked with the most popular car seats.

I read in one of your other reviews (The GB Lyfe) that you weren’t impressed with the quality, does that stand true with this stroller as well. I was originally torn between the Baby Jogger City Mini GT or the Baby Jogger City Premier (and I know they are kind of different classes of stroller) but I really like the compact fold of those but the price was a bit of a turn off when I saw the Evoq, car seat and stroller with the built on ride on board seems like everything we would need. Would you recommend it or go with the tried and true Baby Jogger?

Which rain cover i can ise for this stroller Thanks

Review: The GB Pockit Stroller

In all of our travels with our daughter, there has been no other single product that has been more helpful than the GB Pockit Stroller. In this review, I will cover how the Pockit is the best available for its size, weight, and ease of use.

When I was first in the market for a stroller I was shopping purely based on easy fold-and-go travel systems that would make sense for our travels abroad. For my first stroller, I had the JJ Cole Broadway 360 and as a first-time mom, I thought this was the bee’s knees. It folded down easily and it had the ability to click into a base as a car seat or used as a bassinet that also transformed to a toddler seat. You can read a little bit more about this stroller system here . I did love certain features the JJ Cole had but as my daughter grew and outgrew her car seat, it was no longer a convenient system and it felt big and bulky. To be fair the JJ Cole had also traversed 15 countries over 4 continents. It was tired and time to find a better solution, that solution was the GB Pockit Stroller.

The GB Pockit Review

I saw this video circulating Facebook via the Baby Guy and it featured the GB (GoodBaby) Pockit stroller being folded down in seconds and then opened again just as quickly. It fits into a tote bag compact folded that could easily slide in overhead bin or under the seat in front of you – no more gate checking. I was sold .

Watch the video here

Getting your hands on one of these strollers when they came out wasn’t easy, at least not for those shopping in the U.S. It would be a good six to nine months before they were expected to launch in the US. and I knew there would be a lot of travel for us before then. I couldn’t (wouldn’t) wait that long so I did some research and found that “Toys R Us” in Hong Kong (HK) had them available for about $140 USD.

We would have a couple of days in HK on an upcoming trip and would try to score one if these highly coveted strollers. We decided to order the stroller online and have it sent to our hotel in HK for ease instead of trying to find a store with them in stock. We ordered the stroller with a delivery address of the Hyatt Regency Sha Tin and notified the concierge to accept the package.  Some hotels charge for acceptance and holding a package, however, Sha Tin has always treated us well and there was no charge for holding the package.  It was waiting in our room when we arrived.

Now available in US

Unlike our experience (nefariously purchasing in Hong Kong and importing without paying duty for a product not yet licensed to be sold in the US), the GB Pockit is now available for sale here in the US . The price comes in around $179-$250 which is on par or under-market for an everyday stroller, but more expensive than a traditional umbrella stroller. In my opinion, it is worth every penny.

Stroller Specs

When folded into it’s most compact folded size, the Pockit Plus folded measures 11.8″ x 7″ x 13.8” and was named “The World’s Smallest Folded Stroller” by the Guinness Book of World’s Records. The newer models are able to hold a child up to 55 pounds and 11lbs of “cargo” below the seat in the storage area. The seats harness is also adjustable which helps the travel stroller to grow with your child.

What I love about it

• The size is easily one of the most attractive features about the GB Pockit. When it’s folded away, placed in the bag, it will fit easily under the seat in front of you regardless of the cabin. This is an important fact to know, because gate agents will not believe you, they will insist on tagging it (my husband may have gotten into an argument about this after a long trip.) Just prove it if they challenge you by folding it into the bag.
• The Pockit is also incredibly light. The website lists the weight at 9.5 pounds but that sounds a lot heavier than it feels.  I frequently throw the bag over one shoulder when we are out and about. It’s also worth noting that the Pockit’s lightweight is helpful when pushing our daughter around too, especially on cobblestone streets and uneven surfaces. This compact stroller is so easy to carry it could even fit inside a diaper bag.
• It is easy to clean. The satin black fabric makes spot cleaning the inevitable stains of a toddler no problem.
• We can take it everywhere – and we do.
• Folding it away really is as easy as they say. While there are two ways to fold it away, one takes a little more effort (tucking the back wheels inside first) to get it into its smallest fold, but the time difference is negligible. You can unbuckle your child and have it in a bag in less than 60 seconds with ease.

While I love the stroller, there are a couple of drawbacks. The stroller is very light, but that’s because the supports are hollow. Usually, this isn’t an issue, but it’s so light that for really difficult terrain you might be better off having your child walk than struggle with the roads.  The Pockit is just fine for cobblestone roads, but off-road and dirt paths cause issues for both the front wheel and rear wheels. The canopy of the stroller is one small square piece, which is conveniently lightweight, but it is mostly ineffective.

The padded handlebars were a little thin as was the storage basket below, our netting ripped.

The price is also a little high for some consumers. If you have a regular stroller and the Pockit is just for travel purposes then its value may be diminished for you. That being said, if you have ever tried to fold one of those larger strollers or waited at the baggage carousel for an extended period of time – it pays for itself.

We have this same stroller purchased May of 2016 and it is amazing! We fold it up in 2 seconds before getting on the plane and unfold very fast when off the plane. It is a lifesaver and has held up very well for the 1st yr.

Everyone is amazed at it when they see how small it folds up!

@PointsPinnacle- The ease of using it gate to gate is definitely a big advantage for us too. Glad to hear of your positive experiences with this stroller as well!

Very timely piece 🙂 We just used it for a week long trip to Barcelona. Made our life very easy. On our way back to US we put it in one of our checked bag. The wheels are a bit wobbly for the cobblestone streets. But held up well. I recommend this one as well.

@Joe – I’m happy to hear that you have also had a great experience with this stroller. I remember trying to push my old bulky stroller through the streets in Europe and while the tires were a bit larger and may have handled the roads better, I felt like it just took up so much space everywhere and constantly bumped into everything. When you are on small streets or just want to pop into a little cafe, the Pockit stroller has been a much better and more comfortable solution for us. Thanks for the comment!

We have this stroller and love it! My lady wanted to return the stroller because of cost, ($180 USD), but she loves it now. Small, light, extremely portable. We have taken it to Vegas, Grand Canyon, Paris, and our usual everyday use. I wish the storage pocket was bigger.

Also, triple dipped in points teehee. . Bought egift card for buy buy baby on MileageX App with reward credit card and went through Alaska Airlines shopping portal to earn Alaska points.

@Marvin – I agree that the price can be a bit hard to swallow at first but once you compare it to the other strollers on the market and see it in action, it makes it a lot easier to justify. I also wish the storage was bigger and the canopy too but overall I am quite happy with this stroller. Great tips on the triple dip mileage earning!

I really should look into one of these. Even when road tripping, full size strollers are a PITA. Inevitably we’d forget something we needed when stopping for lunch, and my mom and I would then have to unpack and then re-pack half the cargo area because what we needed was behind the stroller. One possible downside I see is no sunshade? Or does it have one that pops up from the back?

@MeanMeosh – We use this stroller even when we are at home because I love how easy it is to just throw it in the car and go and it takes up so little space in the trunk. The sunshade does fold over from the back but it is a very small square piece and not very effective at all. I definitely think this is something that GB will need to improve on a future model.

Hi carley thanks for the great feed back can u suggest a sunshade that can fits with the stroller and of not what would you do in case of sunny days ? Is it ok for naps ?

@Nour – I have not personally tried any attachable sunshades with this stroller but after a quick google search it seems that there are a few on the market that would work with this stroller. A couple I found are the “Dreambaby Extenda-shade” and the “Manito Sun Shade” which also looks nice and compact! My daughter (age 3 and about 36″) hasn’t had any problems taking naps in the stroller and seems to find it comfortable. I hope this was helpful!

Hi Carly, Thanks for writing your experience about the GB Pockit. It’s really useful. Now we are located in the UK and in november we are travelling to Hong Kong and Thailand. We have a holiday pushchair but to be honest even though it’s practical, it’s not that great in size as it’s an umbrella stroller. We were thinking of either getting the GB Qbit plus or GB Pockit Plus. I want the Qbit, my partner the Pockit but what we are uncertain is how this buggy will feel in the streets of Hong Kong and Thailand. Even though Thailand is really busy, even if we try to use it, I don’t know how it would be like. How did you feel it in Hong Kong? Have you travelled somewhere else where the terrain was different and you can attest the experience. Any suggestion would help! Thanks Gaby

@Gaby – There are so many coincidences. I just got back from Hong Kong and Thailand (we also used to live in the UK) so I have some practical tips for your specific situation. The Pockit was particularly helpful in most of those city situations but not as well on the beach or really difficult terrain. If you are just going to be in Bangkok, you will be very happy with the Pockit, if you are going out to the islands and using it over rocks and sand – your experience may vary from mine. The hidden advantage of this [pram] is how quick and easy it is fold back up and then roll out especially for crowded situations. Getting onto the MTR in Hong Kong during rush hour was much easier when we held our daughter and the stroller in our arms to get on rather than trying to roll a stroller onboard. We love the Pockit, and our only hesitation is that for truly challenging terrain, it can feel a little strained – though we rarely find ourselves in those places when also needing to use a stroller.

Enjoy your travels and if you are looking for recommendations for either city, feel free to reach out ([email protected]) or search the blog for hotels and things to do in keywords: Bangkok, Thailand, Hong Kong.

Hi Carly, I’ve just seen your answer! Yes, incredible as I’m going there now at the end of the month. I’m trying to find a canopy or umbrella for it as I can see the canopy is totally useless. Have you done something about it? The thing is, whatever I use, if I have to fold it, then it means extra luggage with an umbrella or a canopy. I’m going to write an email to you as it’ll be much be easier as I have so many questions!!! I’ll be in touch sono. Thanks Carly

Hi , can anyone tell me if it’s possible to buy new fabric for gb pockit + ? I have a pink color and I would like to have anoter one for boys .

@Tamara – I was unable to find any information about this on the web but reached out to the brand for clarification and will report back results once I have them.

How long can I expect to use this stroller before it starts break down

Hi Jen- In my experience, we have had our stroller for almost two years and it is still in good working condition. It has suffered a few scrapes and minor cosmetic damages from all of our travels, but nothing that has caused it to stop functioning. I don’t see any reason why this stroller couldn’t last us a few more years if it’s taken care of.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a carry bag (preferably backpack) for this stroller? We haven’t had any luck finding anything locally that fits (and that’s not RIDICULOUSLY huge). We’ve tried ordering a couple online as well, to no avail. Just need something to carry this around Disney in the fall…So, big enough for the stroller and a few incidentals, but not HUGE. Thanks!

Hi Danielle, we haven’t used a backpack for this stroller, but just the carry bag that it came with. I do like the idea of a backpack also, because it would add the additional space to carry other items. If you find a great bag, please let us know!

I realize this was posted a long time ago, but we are currently at Disney with 2 GB pockits for our kids. We did not use a bag, we just attached a carry strap to the handles. I took 2 straps off of duffle bags that we were not using and used them to carry and it was very convenient. Having an added bag to take them in and out of seemed like an extra hustle, but the strap was the perfect solution. Having them made our trip so much easier.

Great idea! We are heading to Disney soon and will give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Carly, how hard is it to open and close in real life? I’ve been practising on a floor stock model and I found it really difficult although the saleslady did say it was because too many people had been playing with it so it wasn’t closing properly. I will be hopping in and out of taxis with it so I need it to be a quick and easy open and close. Thanks for your help.

Hi Len, It took us a few times to get the hang of it, but we are often in those quick fold and go situations as well and have found it to be relatively easy to get it into the “quick fold” size. If you are trying to get it to its most compact size and back into the bag this takes just a little longer, but still relatively easy. I have found it helpful to use to top of my foot placed under one of the bars of the storage basket and try to fold it downward while pulling my foot upward. (A little difficult with open toe shoes but possible.) Opening the stroller is much easier but again from the “quick fold” size. The most compact size requires unfolding the front wheels and unlocking them where as from the “quick fold” size it’s just a simple release and almost like a throwing motion downward, then a click/lock into place. I hope this was helpful but please feel free to reach out if you need additional help.

Dear Carly, Thanks for the review, can you suggest me rain cover that suitable for this stroller? and can this stroller use in the daily activities as well?

Thanks Carly,

Thanks for sharing the fantastic info! Is your pockit the reclinable version?

No. I have the first generation, but the ability to recline would be fantastic!

Hello Carly, thank you very much for your great review and tips! We’re just about to buy a small pram for travelling (have another one for everyday use), but our daughter is only going to be turning 7m when we fly in a month time. Do you think Pockit (or Pockit+ with a little shade) would give her enough back support? We’re not going to fly a lot – usually 2-3 times a year, but we live in London and this might be good for city trips when she’s older. I wonder if this pram is the right choice for us..

Hi Victoria, thank you for reading and for your kind words. The pockit without the recline says it can be used from 6m- I believe the recline helps for smaller children, but I’m not certain on the exact age/size. I think this pram would do well in London. We travel to Manchester often and use it all over the city. I absolutely love how light it is and how easy it is to fold and carry when my daughter is not riding in it. (Busy cafes, subways, small spaces are much less intimidating with this stroller) If you are still unsure I would try to find a shop where you could put your daughter in the seat and see how it works for you first. I hope this was helpful and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Great review which prompted me to buy this stroller! I travelled with my then 6 month old from Heathrow to Montreal last December and despite British Airways telling me my pushchair would be waiting for me when I got off the plane I had to wait until I got to the oversized luggage collection. As soon as we got back to London I went to John Lewis and purchased this stroller! Happy to say I just did this trip again last month and it was a BREEZE with my now 15 month old and the pokit. Day to day we still use our icandy raspberry as I find it much more sturdy and the handle extends upwards enough for my husband to push it comfortably.

Meet the GB Lyfe Travel System

By: Author Janessa

Posted on Last updated: March 18, 2024

With the arrival of a new baby, it seemed like the perfect time to review a new travel system! We’ve been trying out the GB Lyfe Travel System with our new baby, Gideon, and I’m excited to tell you all about it today.

Now, the first thing I want to talk to you about is the GB brand. I’m guessing there is a good chance you have never heard of the brand. I hadn’t until I saw their products in person at the ABC Expo last October. GB stands for  Goodbaby International Holdings Limited . GB has over 25 years of design, development, and testing experience. It’s an internationally recognized brand for parents, and now it’s come to the U.S. with a new line of innovative and stylish baby products.

We were sent the GB Lyfe Travel System in the Merlot color scheme at no cost to facilitate this post. The first thing I noticed as I pulled this system out of the box was the color. It’s such a gorgeous maroon red and perfect for either a boy or girl. The infant car seat is already fully assembled and the stroller assembly was simply popping the wheels and cup holder into place. It was out of the box and ready to go in less than 5 minutes.

GB Asana 35 LTE

I thought I’d start out by talking about the infant car seat included with this travel system (the GB Asana 35 LTE) and then I’ll move onto the stroller. The GB Asana 35 LTE can be used for infants who are between 4-35 pounds. It features a no-rethread harness, which means you can adjust the height by simply pushing a button and sliding the harness to the desired position. Since babies grow rapidly in the first year, this is a must-have feature for me on our car seats. The other feature I look for is the ability to loosen/tighten the straps quickly and easily.  With the FirmFit Harness, you simply pull the front strap to make the harness snug, and it conforms to the correct position on baby , every time. To loosen, just push the button at the front of the seat and pull on the straps. It also comes with strap covers where are great for protecting your little one’s delicate neck and a special newborn insert for tiny babies.

A car seat is only going to function at 100% if you can achieve a good install. This travel system comes with one base for the car seat (although it can also be installed without the base). You can install the base with the LATCH system or the seat belt. Whenever possible, I prefer to use LATCH which is how I installed it in our 2013 Honda Odyssey. The base features GB’s FirmFit Arm which helps you to achieve a better, tighter (hence SAFER) fit in the car with minimal effort by providing 20 lbs of additional force. I found the install quick, easy and tight. The GB FirmFit Arm really does make a big difference.

For the first week or two of Gideon’s life, we used the infant car seat we’d used with Zellene, our 3rd child, because it was really cold outside and we hadn’t had a chance to install the base for the Asana yet. Everytime we’d go somewhere, Gideon would cry in his seat. The warm weather arrived and we switch out his base to the Asana one and, truly, I was amazed at the difference it made. I honestly never gave any thought to the car seat being the reason why my babies would cry in the car, but the Asana has made a noteable difference. We’ve traveled with it a few times now and Gideon does not cry the way he did in the past. I’m completely sold on this infant seat for that reason alone!

Another thing I really like about the Asana is the canopy. It is firm and, thanks to strategically placed Velcro at the back of the seat, it stays in place! With my last seat,  I would pull it forward on for it to come unattached at the back. Especially during the cold, windy months, I love that the canopy stays in place to block out the wind.

Now let’s talk pram — how I love this pram! It is chock-full of great features! I love the red color and the fabric looks chic and high-quality. Because you can use it from 4-50 pounds, it’s the only stroller you’ll ever need. The seat can be either forward-facing or parent-facing and adjusts quickly and easily. And, of course, it is a travel system, so you can also use the frame with the infant car seat.

The seat is adjustable to help you find just the right incline position for your little one, including a 180 degree recline so you can use it with your newborn and comfortably let an older child sleep. Taking it from the 180 degrees pram mode to sitting mode (and back again) is pretty easy.

• First you’ll locate the buckle on the side of the foot section.
• Pull tightly and buckle underneath. It might feel like the buckle is too short but I promise it works. Just push up on the seat a little bit.
• Once that is secured, head to the back of the seat and lift the recline handle until you reach the desired position.
• For additional incline you can pull the cord at the back of the seat.

If your child falls asleep while riding in a seated position and you want to return it to 180 degrees, just follow these steps in reverse. It’s important to be sure you adjust the seat at the back first to as flat as it will go before you release the buckle at the feet.

The canopy is very durable, stays in place well, and features an expandable mesh section.

It also comes with a  5-point harness system, a parent cup holder (yay!) and a large basket that you can access from the front or back. Braking is accomplished by stepping on two foot brakes at the back. I love the arm bar on this system. You can remove it on one side and it will pivot away, making it easy for your child to climb in/out without having to remove the entire bar.

When it’s time to collapse the stroller, you can do so without removing the seat and the self-standing fold will keep it off of the ground. The fold of this stroller is probably the only fault I can find with the entire travel system. I love that it’s a standing fold and it’s really easy to collapse but it takes up a considerable amount of room for a single stroller when folded, because the seat/pram is so long. In the grand scheme of things, this is only a minor fault in my book and a trade-off for having the nice full reclined pram seat always available for nap time and my newborn.

Real World Testing

Sometimes a piece of baby gear can sound great on paper, but it really needs to be tested in the real world. The infant car seat proved to be easy to use. I didn’t have any trouble getting my son in/out of the car seat. Clicking it into and out of the base was also very easy. As I mentioned earlier, he seems to LOVE it which makes me love it even more. I can’t find one thing to complain about with this car seat.

I put each of my 4 children in the travel system so you can see how they all fit. Check it out:

This past week we had gorgeous weather so I went walking nearly every day. It felt so good to be out in the sun after all of the cold winter months! The stroller is so easy to push and glides with ease, even through gravel. The car seat clicked into place so easily! I also took it out to do some shopping and it was great at the outlets. The two oldest kids generally want to walk these days unless it’s an all day excursion, but Zellene, my 20 month old, took a turn in the stroller and seemed quite comfy. I think she enjoyed how high she is when riding in this seat.

As I mentioned earlier, it was really hard to find anything to dislike about this travel system. I’d love it if the fold was a little bit more compact, but it’s certainly not a deal-breaker when you look at all of the other great features. It has everything I’d want for my newborn, toddler, and preschooler plus it’s priced at just $379.99 !

GB wants to give one of my lucky readers their own Lyfe Travel System! Click HERE to be taken to the giveaway entry form. Good luck!

Disclosures: I’ve partnered with GB for this post. The travel system was sent to me at no cost to facilitate this review.

How do I convert this car seat to front facing?

Saturday 24th of November 2018

This seat should never be used forward facing. It is a rear-facing only seat.

Thursday 9th of November 2017

How has this stroller held up over time? Do the wheels still function smoothly? I would love to see an update!!

Wednesday 30th of November 2016

Did you have any trouble snapping in the car seat to the stroller? We aren't able to do it with one hand, but we also have an empty car seat, so no weight in it. Baby doesn't come until March! Love everything about the stroller, but wanting to know if the car seat snaps in easier with the weight of the baby

It did have a little bit of a learning curve for me. You have to get it lined up just right. After some practice it wasn't too hard.

Saturday 26th of March 2016

This travel system looks very useful. Thanks for sharing!

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.

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.

Which Stroller Is Best for Travel?

Nuna PIPA urbn & TRVL 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

• 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

• 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

• 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.

The new Evoq Stroller Travel System by GB Review

I received an Evoq Travel System from GB for this review, all opinions are my own.

I couldn’t wait to put together the Evoq Travel System from GB and was really excited by how easy it was! The Evoq basically came assembled, the only thing that I had to put on were the wheels! I absolutely fell in love with this Travel System. This stroller and car seat really work well together. I love that the base of the stroller can be removed and the carseat fits right in there! It is so easy to put in and out and Charlotte absolutely loved taking a walk in this fun stroller.

What I really love about the stroller is that it really does grow with the baby. I wanted something that would last and that I didn’t have to go buy something new 6 months after she was born if she outgrew the stroller.

“Accommodates four stages of growth: 1) Infants ride in a parent-facing car seat. 2) Babies ride in a parent-facing tilt seat 3) Toddlers ride in a forward-facing tilt seat 4) Children ride on a Glide-on board, accommodating a second passenger • Included Asana35 AP Infant Car Seat features a two-part FirmFit System to help ensure a secure fit every time” (GB press release for Evoq)

This stroller seems lightweight but can handle up to 50lbs and the carseat holds 4-35 lbs. I love that there are 4 different stages from infant to toddler. Charlotte likes the stroller but sometimes she really wants to get out and walk, especially if Leah is with us. So it’s nice that it has a feature for toddlers to stand on the back of the stroller and hold on.

“Tilt seat is reversible, extra roomy and comfortable • Adjustable handle accommodates parents of all heights • Folds with seat still attached • Large storage basket • Expandable airflow canopy” (GB press release)

The carseat that the Evoq Travel system comes with is the Asana 35 AP carseat .

“FirmFit System consists of three features that help ensure a secure fit every time: 1) FirmFit Arm tightly secures the base to the car, with less effort 2) FirmFit Harness offers a no-fuss fit, by automatically securing the straps at the correct position, even as the baby grows, and offers constant side impact protection 3) FirmFit Load Leg helps protect the baby’s head, neck and spine, by preventing the seat from moving forward in a crash” (GB Press Release)

I absolutely love the Evoq Travel System by GB if you would like to learn more please visit www.gbchildusa.com to purchase.

Travel + Leisure / Phoebe Cheong

If you're traveling with a child under 4 years old or so, you need a stroller. But your everyday stroller might not be your best bet when you hit the road: Today's models are big with lots of storage space, wide canopies, and large wheels for challenging terrain. Not ideal for packing into trains, planes, and automobiles or for bringing in and out of a hotel. If you plan to travel even somewhat often with your little ones, you might want to invest in a travel stroller.

So, what is a travel stroller? A travel stroller is a smaller, more scaled-back stroller with a collapsible frame that can be folded up tightly. Many travel strollers fold multiple ways to reduce the length, width, and height; some, like umbrella strollers, fold one way into a narrow but still-long piece. In the end, you want your travel stroller to be comfortable and safe for your child while folding up into a very compact, easy-to-carry package.

We tested more than 32 travel strollers from top brands such as Uppababy, Nuna, and Babyzen. We measured and weighed them, then spent eight and a half hours in our New York City lab putting them all through the wringer, looking at each stroller's maneuverability, design features, durability, and portability. We then sent them out intro the real world to be used by families like yours to guarantee stroller longevity and functionality.

Best Overall

Joolz aer+ baby stroller.

 Amazon

• Design 4.6 /5
• Portability 4.9 /5
• Maneuverability 4.9 /5
• Durability 5 /5
• Value 4.6 /5

It folds up into an extremely compact, easy-to-carry package that is great for storing at home or on flights.

The seat can only be hand-washed and air-dried.

The Joolz Aer+ looks great, rolls smoothly, and features plenty of padding for the little rider sitting in it. It wow-ed us right out of the box and was one of the quickest strollers to assemble with just a quick-snap connection to a secure and stable stroller. While the Aer+ is about one pound lighter than earlier models, it is still the same size and features all of the perks parents look for in a high-quality stroller. The roomy shopping basket can hold up to 11 pounds, the canopy is adjustable, and the seat reclines to multiple settings to help keep your little one comfortable as they grow.

Throughout our tests, we tossed the stroller off of a counter to see how it held up and it remained in impeccable condition with little to no scratching and no major breaks or rips. Even when fully loaded up, the wheels moved smoothly and limited turbulence as they are designed to absorb shock from pebbles, rocks, and other rough terrain. We could easily collapse the stroller down using only one hand — which is perfect for use when flying — and it can once again be assembled with just the click of a button. At just over 13 pounds, it's also easy to carry, so you can transport this stroller just about anywhere life takes you.

The Details: 13.2 pounds | 41.5 x 32.7 x 17.7 inches assembled | 8.5 x 21 x 17.7 x inches folded | 50-pound weight limit

Best Overall, Runner-up

Nuna trvl lightweight stroller.

• Design 4.8 /5
• Portability 4.2 /5
• Maneuverability 5 /5
• Value 4.7 /5

Not only does it roll well, but the one-handed folding process was the smoothest of all the strollers we tested.

It's not especially small when folded and is a little unwieldy to carry.

During testing, when we pressed the buttons to collapse and fold the Nuna Trvl, it felt like some spring-loaded mechanism started the process for us and made it easier. That's the kind of helpful detail any parent or caretaker appreciates. And that folding process was quick, easy, and doable with one hand. The Trvl isn't quite as light as some of the other strollers, however, and it has no strap for carrying over the shoulder (although the bumper bar turns into a handle for carrying when the stroller is collapsed). It's also not clear whether the Nuna Trvl will fit in all airplane overhead compartments; It was a tight squeeze when we placed it in ours, with the wheels sticking out a bit.

The Trvl has a lot of great design features, including an adjustable leg rest and simple, adjustable reclining system for your baby. The strap clasp is magnetic to save a little time, and the canopy has a peekaboo window and good ventilation. The bottom storage basket is also on the larger side for a travel stroller and can comfortably fit a backpack. The stroller gilded beautifully over each surface we tried; there was no difference between rolling over the smooth hardwood and the shag carpet, and it handled gravel without issue. And it held up just fine in the durability test.

The Details: 15.4 pounds | 41 x 26 x 20.5 inches assembled | 11 x 27.25 x 20.25 inches folded | 50-pound weight limit

Best Budget

Kolcraft cloud plus stroller.

• Design 3.9 /5
• Portability 3 /5
• Maneuverability 4.2 /5
• Durability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

It comes with a tray for baby's food and drink but is still extremely lightweight and easy to fold.

There isn't a ton of space in the undercarriage for storage.

Strollers are unnervingly expensive; many new parents experience sticker shock when they first see those price tags. The Kolcraft Cloud Plus is not. And while it's not the prettiest of the bunch (there's some loud branding), it folds easily — it can even be done one-handed with a little effort and coordination. We love that unfolding can also be done one-handed.

The Cloud Plus doesn't fold down quite as small as most every other one we're testing; the shape is somewhere between an umbrella and normal travel stroller. It's very lightweight, which we love, but since it doesn't fold small enough to fit in an overhead bin and doesn't have a strap or handle, it's not as portable as other options.

This stroller is the only one we tested with a tray for the baby's food and drink; the tray is removable if you're looking to save space. There are also two small cup holders for the adults, though our travel mug did not fit in them. The storage basket can fit a small backpack. The recline system is pretty easy to use and goes back three-fourths of the way to horizontal, and the canopy is good but not great. Same goes for the seat padding.

It rolled well on smooth surfaces, though there was some resistance on the carpet and a lot more on the grave. But we were able to push it through, and the stroller is light enough that when the wheels aren't rolling you can still keep moving. It's not the smoothest ride, but passable. The tray came unclasped during the durability test, but there was no actual damage. Overall, the price-to-performance ratio of the Cloud Plus is so good that it's an excellent budget option.

The Details: 11.8 pounds | 38 x 27 x 18 inches assembled | 10 x 33 x 17.5 inches folded | 50-pound weight limit

Best for Warm Weather

Gb qbit+ all city stroller.

• Portability 4 /5

It reminds us of the very top-tier travel strollers, but its price is meaningfully lower.

The handlebar isn't adjustable and the stroller is a bit heavier than other options.

The GB Qbit+ All City reminded us of the Nuna Trvl, but at a significantly cheaper price. The only areas the stroller fell short of the Nuna model are the canopy, which is not especially nice or expansive, and the fact that it's slightly harder to carry since it's a little heavier and has no actual carrying strap. That said, there's plenty to love about the Qbit. One-handed folding is smooth, and buckling and unbuckling the straps is easy. The seat is nicely padded, the entire back is made of breathable mesh to keep your child from overheating. The leg rest is simple to maneuver and goes all the way flat. The seat also reclines almost all the way back so that your baby can take a comfortable snooze. The included bumper bar comes off and on easily, and the handlebar looks and feels nice. There's enough storage for a backpack, too. As for maneuverability, it rolled great on all our testing surfaces and made crisp, tight turns. If you want something similar to and almost as good as the Nuna Trvl, this is your travel stroller.

The Details: 17.6 pounds | 41 x 24 x 17 inches assembled | 10.5 x 23 x 16.5 inches folded | 54.8-pound weight limit

Best Folding

Uppababy minu v2 stroller.

• Assembly 3.8 /5

It folds up far more compactly than other UPPAbaby models.

The canopy sticks out a bit when the stroller is folded.

The Minu has a lot of the features familiar to UPPAbaby devotees — unstructured rear storage pouch, locking clasp to keep the stroller folded, excellent canopy — but unlike the brand's G-Luxe and G-Link models, this one is not an umbrella stroller. We actually think that makes for a better travel stroller. The Minu folds up more easily than other UPPAbaby models and far more compactly than an umbrella model. The fold can be done with one hand, but keep in mind the canopy needs to be tucked in once it's folded. A padded carrying strap easily fits over the shoulder. When carried, the Minu isn't the lightest or smallest option on our list, but it's portable enough and fits fine in an overhead compartment.

The Minu's seat back reclines nicely and easily for naps, and the handlebar feels good on the palms. The canopy's magnetic mesh window is handy and easy to keep open, and the sun shade for keeping the brightness out of your baby's eyes is one of the best we saw in our tests. The seat's padding is ample, though we'd like it if the leg rest were adjustable. We did appreciate the sizable bottom storage basket.

In terms of maneuverability, the Minu performed fine. It didn't make quite as tight turns as the Joolz or Nuna, and it felt a bit heavier to push, but it handled the gravel really well. A canopy rod popped out of place when we pushed the stroller off the table, but we were able to fix it pretty easily. Overall, while the stroller is expensive, it's not the priciest on the list and is worth it for the well-crafted features.

The Details: 14.75 pounds | 41 x 31 x 20.5 inches assembled | 12 x 22.5 x 20.25 inches folded | 50-pound weight limit

Best for Cities

Babyzen yoyo2 stroller.

• Assembly 3.5 /5
• Design 4.5 /5
• Portability 5 /5
• Maneuverability 4.5 /5

It's very well-padded, folds up into a tidy package, and has a convenient carrying strap.

The clips and buckles can be hard to maneuver.

Folding the Babyzen Yoyo 2 took two hands and, while not difficult, was a little more involved a process than with some other strollers. Unfolding is pretty easy, except we noticed our feet getting caught in straps a few times. While folding and unfolding were slightly disappointing, we love how portable this stroller is. It folds up very small and has a comfortable padded shoulder strap as well as a metal bar for easy carrying. And it fits easily into an overhead storage bin. It's a great option for a stroller you plan to fly with.

The Yoyo 2 has nice features, too. The seat padding is especially cushy, and the seat reclines three-fourths of the way back to horizontal (though the recliner is a bit tricky to figure out). There's also a pocket in the back and a decent storage basket underneath that can fit a small bag. The canopy is good, though we'd prefer the peekaboo window to be mesh instead of plastic.

This stroller especially stands out for its handling. We were able to maneuver this stroller through the safety cones with such ease, we could really see this stroller being helpful at a crowded grocery store or airport.

Best Double

Uppababy g-link v2 stroller.

• Assembly 4.9 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Portability 4.4 /5

It folds more easily and rolls more smoothly than we expected from a stroller this size.

It doesn't fold down very small, and unfolding it could be easier.

For such a large contraption, this double stroller folds with surprising ease. We were even able to do it one-handed with a little effort, which none of us expected. Unfolding is a little trickier, as it takes some force to unhook the locking clasp. As a double stroller, the G-Link 2 is not the most compact package when folded. Plus, it's an umbrella structure, so this one probably isn't fitting in many overhead bins. Carrying it was a little unwieldy, as should be expected with a double stroller, but there is a helpful handle, and the stroller is lighter than it looks. You can actually wheel it along when it's folded instead of carrying it, but it's not easy, and it bumped into us when we did so.

We like the canopies on the G-Link 2: quality material and good coverage. There are little storage pockets behind each seat, and it comes with a cup holder. You can also fit a purse or very small backpack in the undercarriage basket. The seats have generous padding, which extends to form a sort of calf rest for the riders. The straps buckle easily and have different height options; the seat backs have two recline positions and are super easy to adjust.

The stroller rolled well over all the surfaces, even the gravel, and it made much tighter turns than we anticipated. We also like that there are no wheels in the middle of the frame (as most double umbrella strollers have), which makes it easier to push without kicking the wheels or frame. Finally, it showed no damage after our durability tests.

The Details: 21.8 pounds | 41 x 25 x 28.25 inches assembled | 14 x 40 x 17.5 inches folded | 55-pound weight limit per seat

Cybex Libelle Compact Stroller

• Durability 4.6 /5

It's a modern-looking stroller that's easy to move.

It lacked some of the features we'd have liked to see at its price.

The Cybex Libelle Stroller looks sleek and is easy to fold down into an easy-to-store size. Unfolding this stroller is incredibly easy — perfect for families on the go. The wheels of this stroller turn more easily than some other styles and provides a smooth ride over most surfaces.

Due to its simplistic design, this stroller doesn't have extra pockets or cupholders, but its lightweight and compact style makes this a great option for traveling since the stroller can fit in the overhead bins of most airplanes. Just be aware that this model does not include a carrying strap, so if you plan to walk for long periods of time with the folded stroller, you'll have to carry it by its medal frame.

It handled pretty well over the smooth hard surfaces with no noticeable hiccups, but it struggled a bit on the gravel.

The Details: 13.7 pounds | 41 x 20 x 20 inches assembled | 8 x 22 x 14 inches folded | 55-pound weight limit

Best Maneuverability

Bugaboo butterfly stroller.

• Assembly 4.8 /5
• Design 4.9 /5
• Portability 4.5 /5

It takes next to no effort to push this stroller over terrains of all types.

The instructions have pictures rather than words, so they’re a bit unclear.

From sharp turns to steep curbs to rocky terrain, the Bugaboo Butterfly Seat Stroller easily traverses it all. Built with advanced four-wheel suspension and a lightweight frame, we loved how little effort it took to push the stroller, even with one hand. The wheels seemed to absorb bumps and shock well, keeping the seat stable and the baby in place. 

We were equally impressed with the stroller’s packing and traveling capabilities. Weighing in at just over 16 pounds and boasting a compact size when folded down, the Butterfly is easy to carry and even hoist in the air to stow in a plane’s overhead bin. It’s also simple to assemble, and it remained perfectly intact and undamaged after we dropped it.

Other useful features of this stroller include a Velcro rain cover, seat cover, spacious under-seat basket, padded handlebar with a wrist strap, reclining mechanism, and an easy-to-use foot brake. 

The Details: 16.1 pounds | 36.4 x 17.7 x 40.3 inches assembled | 17.7 x 9.1 x 21.3 inches folded | 48.5-pound weight limit

Best for Air Travel

• Assembly 4.7 /5

It easily fits in overhead bins and is a high-quality, durable option.

At 14.6 pounds, it's one of the heavier strollers we tested.

The Cybex Coya is a stylish and durable stroller families will be happy to use for their daily activities and while traveling. It folds up quickly and easily slides into airplane overhead bins for easy access as you board and de-board. The comfortable seat padding is removable for cleaning and the canopy comes down for sun and rain protection. The five-point harness is also incredibly easy to adjust and the seat itself reclines to be almost flat. Pair that with the adjustable leg rest and you have the perfect spot for your youngster to nap on the go.

We also love the cushioned handlebar that adds some extra comfort when pushing the stroller and the zippered pocket in the back of the canopy where you can store your phone or wallet for convenience. The cargo area is also a great size considering the overall compact nature of this stroller and easily fit our packed diaper bag. After our toss test, the stroller is still in great condition, although we do recommend investing in a dust bag if you're nervous about bumps and scratches while traveling.

The Details: 14.6 pounds | 38.2 x 17.3 x 31.1 inches assembled | 7.1 x 17.3 x 20.5 inches folded | 55-pound weight limit

Best Compact

Contours itsy.

Buy Buy Baby

• Assembly 5 /5
• Maneuverability 4 /5

There’s almost no assembly required.

Parents of older, larger children may not find it as useful.

If you like to live your life simply, the compact and convenient Contours Itsy may be the stroller for you. Right out of the box, it’s already nearly fully assembled — all you have to do is snap the bumper bar into place, which takes almost no effort. On top of that, it’s a no-frills option, so there’s no cup holder or oversized basket to weigh it down, take up space, or make things complicated. 

We did, however, love features like the secure bumper bar, easy-to-use harness, canopy with UV 50 sun protection, and padding on the crotch strap, which makes the stroller look comfortable. They also appreciated the small size of the foot rest, basket, and entire stroller in general, because it made using and transporting it a breeze.

When it was time to stow the stroller away (or pack it up for travel), we got a kick out of just how tiny it folds up — in its simplest form, it’s not much larger than a grocery bag. It’s also ultra-lightweight and easily folds with just one hand. 

The Details: 12.3 pounds | 32 x 39 x 18.2 inches assembled | 11 x 22 x 11 inches folded | 40-pound weight limit

Best Comfort

Baby jogger city tour 2 stroller.

• Maneuverability 4.8 /5

The price is reasonable considering how solidly it performed on all our tests.

It did not fit in our overhead bin and isn't easy to fold one-handed.

Folding this stroller was pretty simple, though not quite as smooth as it was with some of the others. The unfolding process was a little finicky as well and took some practice. So what do we like about the Baby Jogger City Tour 2? The price is reasonable, it performed solidly on most of our tests, and it maneuvered exceptionally well over all surfaces. We noticed little perceptible difference between its rolling over the shag carpet and smooth wood surface, and while other strollers struggled a bit on the gravel, this one navigated it with ease.

In terms of portability, the City Tour 2 doesn't feel bulky and has a good hand carrying handle. We would have liked to see a shoulder strap, however, and it did not fit in our overhead bin. The seat back has a lot of recline, and the drawstring to pull and push the seat forward and back is easy to use. The seat has good structure and good padding; the straps work well and can be adjusted to different height levels. There's lots of leg room and adjustable calf support for the baby, and the canopy has a peekaboo window and goes up and down smoothly. We'd have appreciated some more storage space; you can't fit a backpack anywhere. When we pushed the City Tour 2 off a table, we did notice that a small foam pad came off, though we couldn't even figure out where it came from, and it did not structurally damage the stroller.

The Details: 14 pounds | 40 x 26 x 20 inches assembled | 7 x 22.5 x 19.5 inches folded | 45-pound weight limit

Best Umbrella

Uppababy jordan g-luxe stroller.

• Portability 3.9 /5
• Maneuverability 4.7 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

The recline system is particularly easy to use, and the stroller stands well on its own when folded.

The button/ring-pull combination for folding it is a bit finicky and has to be timed perfectly.

The first thing to note here is that ​​umbrella strollers only fold one-dimensionally, so the result is narrow but long…like an umbrella. The other strollers on this list fold down via multiple joints and in multiple directions for a smaller and more squarish package; neither is necessarily better, but you'll want to decide what you want before buying a travel stroller.

This particular UPPAbaby model is a bit tricky to fold because the handle/ring combination used to do so is finicky and has to be timed perfectly. Once you get that, the folding is smooth, but the whole button-and-ring thing is a little annoying. As with most UPPAbaby products, however, the G-Luxe's features are pretty nice. There's an included cup holder that fits a travel mug easily, and the canopy is expansive with extra sun shade (there is no peekaboo window, however). The leg rest for the child is easy to adjust, and the straps feature a five-point harness and adjustable height levels. The seat padding is substantial without looking bulky, and the recline system, while only providing two settings, is exceptionally easy to use. The unstructured (perhaps too unstructured) pocket behind the seat is pretty spacious and in a good location, but the storage basket at the bottom of the stroller isn't particularly big.

The G-Luxe maneuvers well, with good tight turns, though it rattled noticeably over the gravel. It held up well during our durability tests and sustained no damage.

The Details : 16.5 pounds | 42.5 x 23.5 x 18.5 inches assembled | 15 x 41 x 11.75 inches folded | 55 pounds weight limit

Best Lightweight

Zoe the traveler.

• Design 3.5 /5

The removable seat liner is machine washable.

The attachable snack tray is sold separately.

If you're heading off on a family trip and looking for a simple, lightweight travel stroller, this minimalistic design will do the trick. It's incredibly easy to assemble and takes just a few minutes to click the wheels and bumper bar into place. It also comes with a parent cupholder and back pocket to help keep your hands free throughout your journey. We did note that the cargo area is the perfect size for a small tote bag or purse, but it may not be large enough to fit diaper bags or weekender bags.

We love that this stroller comes with a removable seat liner that can be thrown in the washing machine after a trip to keep clean and fresh. The canopy can also be unzipped to expand and it has a peek-a-boo feature on top so you can check on your child without stopping. This stroller is also easy to push around on every type of terrain — especially around tight corners. The stroller is light enough to lift up stairs, but we do recommend you use two hands when carrying down the stairs. When it's time to disassemble the stroller, simply press a button on the handlebar and bend the stroller forward. It’s so easy we didn’t even need instructions to figure out how to do it. You can even fold and unfold this one-handed, perfect for on-the-go travels.

The Details : 13 pounds | 41 x 30 x 18 inches assembled | 22 x 19 x 10 inches folded | 45 pounds weight limit

Most Adjustable

Thule shine.

• Design 4.2 /5
• Durability 4.8 /5

Assembly is quick and easy, perfect for first-time parents.

It can be hard to turn on sharp corners.

For such a compact stroller, the Thule Shine has plenty of storage, an expandable canopy with UPF 50+ protection, a reclining seat, and adjustable leg rests — everything you need for a busy parent and growing youngster to travel comfortably. We love the fast assembly of this stroller and the security of knowing everything clicks together when positioned and popped in correctly. There is an adjustable handlebar that is super easy to figure out, an extra rain canopy that you can pack and bring with you, and it is so easy to fold down. The harness does need to be clipped in a specific order before it can be fully buckled, which might become difficult with a fussy child, but we did find the seat to be comfortable and loved that it was extremely adjustable.

During our tests, it only suffered minimal scuffing and we never felt as though it would tip or fall while maneuvering through an obstacle course. We were able to fold the stroller with just one hand, but it was difficult to get it fully locked into the travel position without using two hands. It does stand upright once folded, so you can pop it down quickly for storage, whether you're coming back home and stashing it in a closet or boarding a plane. The stroller also fits easily into car trunks, but is most suitable for gate checking and is not likely to fit in overhead airplane bins. Overall, the stroller felt durable and was light enough that most parents would be able to carry it when needed. We felt like it would last through at least a couple of kids should your family use it multiple times, which is perfect for growing families.

The Details : 21.6 pounds | 35 x 42 x 20 inches assembled | 13 x 27 x 20 inches folded | 49 pounds weight limit

Other Travel Strollers We Liked

Some of the travel strollers we tested did not make our list of recommendations. They all had positive attributes, but a few things held them back.

Summer Infant 3DLite : This is a decent budget option, but the price-to-performance ratio was just not quite as good as the Kolcraft Cloud Plus.

Doona Infant Car Seat and Latch Base : The easy-to-maneuver pick collapses into a car seat but the use case for this is too specific to pay as much as it costs, and many other stroller frames can fit a car seat.

Gb Pockit Air All Terrain : This one is incredibly light and folds easily, but there are basically zero features.

Ergobaby Metro+ Compact Stroller : While this is a sleek and stylish option, i t's not easy to carry, and the canopy adjustment makes a lot of noise, which could wake up a sleeping baby.

Munchkin Sparrow : The lightweight design is smart and thoughtful, but everything from the canopy to the storage bin is simply too small. 

Travel + Leisure / Conor Ralph

Once we fully assembled all strollers in our New York City testing lab, we measured their height, length, and width, both fully opened and fully folded down. We also weighed each one, since weight is a particularly important aspect if anyone will be carrying the stroller during a trip. Then after carefully reading instructions, we repeatedly folded and unfolded each stroller. We took copious notes to record whether the folding process was intuitive and easy to execute. We considered how difficult it would be to do with a baby in one arm or with a whiny toddler pulling at our legs.

While each stroller was in its most compact setup, we tested it for portability. Is it easy to pick up? Comfortable to carry? Are there good handles and straps? Is it compact enough to fit in an airplane overhead bin (we constructed our own makeshift one according to standard airline measurements using a storage rack and a box). We recorded all this and more.

Next we carefully examined each stroller for included features. We looked for seat reclining and cushioning, cup holders, baskets and other storage space, canopy cover for protection from the weather, seat cushioning and reclining, and more. We tried the features out and took detailed notes on whether they were functional and helpful. We also practiced buckling and unbuckling the straps.

Then we put 25-pound sandbags in every stroller. We wheeled them forward and backward over hard floor, carpet, and gravel. We practiced U-turns and pivots and even wheeled them through a miniature obstacle course of cones. We also noted how well the brakes worked and if they were easy to engage.

Finally, we gave all of the strollers a durability test. We dropped each one from waist height and then pushed each off of a table slightly higher than that. We examined each after the falls to see if there was any damage.

After completing our lab tests, we sent each stroller out to real families to use these strollers over a period of six months to really put them to the test. Throughout the testing period, we asked how each stroller was holding up in terms of durability, comfort, portability, and more and updated our findings here.

Tips for Buying a Travel Stroller

Consider the types of travel strollers.

Not all travel strollers are designed with the same priorities in mind. Some may emphasize a lightweight and packable style while others are focused on maneuverability or durability. There are umbrella strollers, that are best for toddlers, but light enough for travel; jogging strollers with advanced suspension for smooth rides; and even full-sized strollers that may not seem best for air travel, but often include great features like storage compartments and padded seats when portability is less of an issue. When it comes to selecting the best travel stroller for your family, think about portability and convenience, but don't forget about comfort and bonus accessories to make your trip a smooth and unforgettable experience.

Pay attention to folded size

The biggest differentiator between a regular stroller and a travel stroller is that a travel stroller should pack up more compactly. You'll want it to fit easily into car trunks or train/airplane compartments without taking up much space. The Joolz Aer , our top pick, folds down to 8.5 (height) x 21 (length) x 17.75 (width) inches. That's a good guide for a stroller that will fit nicely into the aforementioned compartments.

Remember storage space and other features

Just because your travel stroller might be a smaller and more scaled-down version of your everyday stroller, you shouldn't have to suffer from a lack of convenience. Good travel strollers still offer some storage space for small bags, toys, snacks, etc. Remember, you can always add a drink caddy for both your stroller and luggage. The seat for your baby should be padded and comfortable and able to recline; keep an eye out for a canopy that offers good coverage and buckles and straps that are easy to use. So, while compact folding and good portability are what make a travel stroller a travel stroller, be sure to look closely at the other features a stroller does (or does not) include.

Prioritize comfort and safety

At the end of the day, your stroller needs to be safe and comfortable for your child. Check for good, padded seats that recline. Make sure the straps don't look like they'd cut into your baby's shoulder or chest, and take note if there are leg rests. Note if the wheels can handle different surfaces well enough to keep the stroller from shaking and rattling too much.

If you can fit it in the overhead, you can bring it on board. If you have an umbrella model or are using your regular (non-travel) stroller, your best bet is to gate check it. But many travel strollers fold down so compactly that they fit easily into an overhead bin. In general, carry-on luggage should be 45 linear inches (22 x 14 x 9 inches) or less. You can reference the FAA website for more guidance.

In short, a travel stroller is lighter than an everyday stroller and folds down far smaller. This means that the frames are usually thinner and have several folding joints, and the wheels will be smaller and less suited for rough terrain. Storage space, cup holders, and other accessories will usually be kept to a minimum. But a good travel stroller should give you everything you really need and even function well enough to be used every day — all while folding down nice and small and being easy to carry or pack away.

Moscow/Zelenograd and New Moscow

• 1.1 By plane
• 1.2 By train
• 4 Events, Festivals

Zelenograd and New Moscow are two large parts of Moscow city, that lie (often far) outside consolidated residential zone of the city, which lies within and just beyond the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road).

Zelenograd was added in Moscow in 1968 as one of the leading scientific centers. New Moscow was added to Moscow in 2012, forming Novomoskovky and Troitskiy Administrativniy Okrugs with plans of new vast expansion. New Moscow territory is yet to change according to its new city status. Even though suburbial kind construction intensifies in Novomoskovsky Administrativniy Okrug, Troitskiy Administrativniy Okrug still mostly has a rural feel.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

Vnukovo and Ostafyevo airports are situated in New Moscow proper, though from Ostafyevo airport you still have to go through the "old" Moscow. It is possible to get from Sheremetyevo to Zelenograd without going to the old city - you have to change to 400 minibus on Leningrad highway or on local train on Planernaya. From Domodedovo airport you'll have to go through the old city anyway (the route through Domodedovo and Podolsk will take more time).

By train [ edit ]

Local trains connect Zelenograd with Leningrad Train Station, Tver, Klin and Konakovo. Local trains from Kiev Train Station pass through northern part of New Moscow between Novoperedelkino and Krekshino. To go to Zosimova Pustyn you may want to go all the way to Bekasovo, but trains there are infrequent. It is possible to get to New Moscow through Podolsk, but you'll have to change to bus there.

By bus [ edit ]

Most frequent bus to Zelenograd is bus 400 from Rechnoi Vokzal. It has special pricing. Buses are primary way of public transport to get to New Moscow, new buses are often added. Most buses start from Yugo-Zapadnaya and Tepliy Stan metroes, and Podolsk train station. Troitsk serves as a bus hub.

By car [ edit ]

Zelenograd is accessible by M10 highway. Major highways in New Moscow are M3, A101, Warsaw highway Podolsk - Kresty (joining with A101), first "Beton Ring" A107 and Borovsk highway Peredelkino - Vnukovo - to join with M3. M10 and A101 are often highly congested, M3 may be less prone to it, except Moscow vicinity, and crossing with A107, A107 is congested near M3 crossing, which is northwest of New Moscow; Warsaw highway is congested in Podolsk, and you'll have to pass congested M2 to get there from MKAD.
