Like the name suggests, this stroller was designed to be simple to assemble and use. The frame pops open and folds down with one hand and the seat can be reclined in two different positions. It also comes with an adjustable bumper bar that can be taken off and on with ease and the handlebar looks and feels great as well. However, the lack of storage space means parents will need to carry a huge diaper bag or wrap it around the handle (against the advice of a professional).

It is also essential to read your stroller's manual and especially the sections related to safety. Particularly, make sure to know how to fix the straps and ensure that you use them correctly. Always supervise your child and only use the stroller when walking at a safe speed. This will lower the chance of injury if your stroller is accidentally tipped over or swerves off course.

Easy to Fold

One of the keys to a good stroller is the fact that it folds down into an easy-to-manage compact package. Some models do this very well, jogging strollers like the light JOOVY TRVL, which folded in just four seconds during our testing and is able to stand upright when folded. This makes it simple to store in a closet or trunk and to carry on plane's overhead bins.

The UPPAbaby MINU V2 pushchairs travel systems stroller is a similar lightweight, easy-to fold stroller. It weighs less than 17 pounds and has an enormous underseat basket that can hold a large backpack or diaper bag. The footrest that is reversible can double as a handle when the stroller is in its folded position. This feature was a real benefit during our testing however, it also left the stroller open to airline damage when one of our editors failed to close it when making sure the stroller was closed for her flight. The baggage handler ripped the footrest, and the UPPAbaby warranty doesn't cover airline-related damage.

In contrast to umbrella strollers, the majority of the other strollers in our review utilize a variety of hinges and joints to fold up into a more squarish package. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe, as an instance, folds in less than three seconds, and then stands up when it is done. However, its button/ring combo isn't always easy and requires you to time it perfectly.

Consider how the stroller can be locked in its compacted, closed position. Some models require you pull down a lever or handle near the rear wheels, while others have red straps that need to be tethered. It's a good idea to check the owner's manual for details on the locking mechanism of each model and how it operates.

If you happen to encounter a stroller that is difficult to close and close, try using a product such as Baby Mobility oil or WD-40 for lubricating the joints and connections. If this doesn't work then you should contact the manufacturer or a stroller service. However, don't make it close. The force of a stroller to close when it wasn't designed to do so can damage it and cause injuries to both you and your child.

However, consult with your airline prior to you purchase to make sure it is in line with their dimensions and policies. Many airlines will check gate strollers if they're too large to fit in the cabin. Certain airlines will transfer strollers to the hold when their baggage allowance is over.
