When you're strolling through the airport on your way to the gate or exploring an unfamiliar city with your child in tow, traveling is stressful enough without worrying about how to pack and haul everything.

The stroller is compact and light. is easy to open and close by simply pressing two buttons on the handle -- all while still standing straight (no need to lean over to perform the task).

It arrives in the box already assembled and is as easy to open with two buttons on the handle. It also folds up with the same ease and can be tucked away in the carry bag. The only issue is that it could be a bit too big for some overhead bins on airplanes, and we've heard reports of the handles being fragile and some parents found it to be a bit unsettling. It's still an excellent option for those who want an easy-to-use, compact stroller. We just wish it had an extra pocket for parents to use to store things like dollars for Ice cream!

Easy to Fold

Travel strollers are compact as the name implies. They are lighter and smaller than regular strollers, and come with fewer features like cup holders and storage baskets. They must perform well for daily use, and be easy to carry. If you are planning to travel a lot with your baby, consider getting a stroller for travel with features that meet your requirements.

For instance, the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is simple to fold and can fit into overhead bins. It is also easy to maneuver and roll, even on rough terrain. The UPPAbaby comes with attractive features, including a deep recline, as well as an additional sun canopy that provides your child ample coverage. The only drawback to the UPPAbaby is that it's difficult to fold. It's possible to time your hands carefully to get it right.

Another alternative is the Babyzen YoYO2, which can be folded into a compact size and springs open by using one hand. It might not have as much storage space as other strollers, but it does have some great features. These include an easy-to-carry strap as well as a spacious basket beneath the carriage and a wide-extending umbrella. It's our most expensive travel stroller however, it's also the most luxurious.

The Cybex Libelle 2 is another travel stroller that has a tiny fold that's easy to unroll. It's heavier than most strollers, but is still lightweight and compact enough to be an excellent option for city life and luxury travel. It comes with a variety of nice features, including the cup holder that can be used for a standard mug, an easy-to-carry handle, and a canopy to protect your child against the sun.

The Minu from UPPAbaby is a great choice for people who already own the brand's Vista or Cruz strollers and are looking for an easier, smaller version.

It has many other cool features such as an enormous storage basket as well as a deep reclining seat and a canopy that can be extended with UPF protection of 50+.

Carry it easily

Whether you're taking your child on an airplane or putting it into the car for road trips, the ease with the ease with which your stroller folds down can make all the difference in how easy it is to get through a crowded airport or crowded bus. When folded, a good stroller can easily fit into your trunk or overhead bin with a few controlled movements. It should also be able to stand up on its own. You should be able to carry it by its handle, attach a carrying strap or slide it into the storage bag included for easy transport.

If you plan to use your stroller in an airplane be sure that it's endorsed by the airline or that it can fit into the overhead bins. The International Air Transport Association recommends that carry-on bags not exceed greater than 22 x18 x 10 inches, so the majority of our top picks -- including the ultra-lightweight, $100+ Nuna TRVL--can fit up there (though some of them will require you to check gate for them). The TRVL is so light that you can carry it as a handbag. It has a cushioned shoulder strap that can be attached to a bumper bar which doubles as handles.

The TRVL is a great choice for parents who are always on the move, as it is compatible with all Nuna Pipa baby car seats, without adapters. Our experts are awestruck by its simple two-position recline system and no-rethread harness designed to grow with your child. It's also lighter than other travel strollers which makes it an ideal choice for families who frequently travel.

Other great features on this compact travel stroller include a spring-loaded back-of-the-underseat basket that's big enough for a backpack, diaper bag, or purse, and a flat, open sun canopy that offers some coverage and blockage (though it's not as large as the ones on some of our other top picks). It's also among our lightweight strollers. But keep in mind that most airlines allow you to gate-check the size of a large pushchair, but it could require you take the stroller that's folded out of the cabin and through security. If that's the case, consider buying a protective travel bag for it to shield it from damage caused by baggage handlers.

A compact travel stroller could be ideal for frequent travelers, because it doesn't require an entire trunk or take up much space in the car or hotel room. Some models are so small that they can be easily stowed in the overhead bin of an airplane and others are so lightweight that they don't weigh much on carry-on luggage. They're also easy to maneuver around busy airports and on city sidewalks.

The Babyzen YoYo2 stroller is also lightweight and light, which is ideal for air travel or quick getaways. It's easy to maneuver through the aisles of an airplane, and the stroller stays upright when folded, which is helpful in case you're trying to carry it with your other luggage. The YoYo2 isn't quite as large as a larger stroller when folded, but it still comes with plenty of features including a large under-seat basket and a reclining mechanism that's easy to operate by hand.
