A Single Hand Fold Stroller Is Easy to Use and Fits Into Tight Spaces
A stroller should be easy to maneuver and fit in small spaces. This single-hand fold model can do both very well and is a great choice for travel.
It also comes with a huge undercarriage basket, a reclining seat and a spacious canopy with a peek-aboo window. The only downside is that it doesn't fit into the overhead bins.
Features
Select the ideal stroller for your trip, whether you're to a vacation destination or traveling for business. Consider the weight and age of your child, as well features like a wide recline, ample storage space, and weather protection. You'll also want to select one that is easy to fold and unfold using one hand, particularly when you're holding the child.
The egg2 was a great option for us due to its compact fold, light weight and sturdy feel. It also has a great padded handlebar, adjustable recline mechanism, and an ample underseat basket. The only drawbacks are the slightly stiff leg rest as well as the small storage space. The basket and leg rest can be used to carry a small bag, but you'll have remove the cushion on the seat to do so. The seat doesn't come with an ample pocket. This can be a problem when you're trying to balance several bags and a squirmy child.
If you're looking for a single-handle model that is less expensive, then check out the GBQbit+ All City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in a variety of ways such as one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. However it doesn't offer as much storage space under the vehicle and its canopy is smaller than some other models we tested.
During testing, the GB Qbit+ All City impressed us with its smooth ride over most surfaces. It was easy to roll on shag carpet and sidewalks that were paved and also did well in our tests of durability. It also comes with a range of options for customization, including a bassinet attachment for a newborn and riding boards.
A good choice for parents who travel frequently, this lightweight stroller folds down in half and can be tucked away in an overhead bin of trains or planes. It has a modern, sleek design that has an encasement on the front to store the phone of the parent and a bigger pocket in the back for larger bags or weekenders. The padded seat has a nice shape, and the buckle system is easy to use, even with a toddler is in tow. It's also one of the few models we have tested that has a foot brake which allows you to stop it whenever needed.
Design
If you plan to take a stroller on your trip, choose a model that is easy to fold, carry, and transport with other luggage. Some of these travel strollers come with a carrying case or strap that allows you carry them on your shoulders. These strollers are ideal for long days of sightseeing or navigating narrow aisles on public transportation.
Think about features like the dimensions of the basket as well as the canopy when selecting a single-hand stroller that folds. Also, consider whether you need a tray for the parents, an adjustable leg rest and the weight that the stroller can hold.
The top pick of GH's editors for a stroller that can be operated by one hand is the Nuna Trvl. It's a light stroller that's easy to use, has an extended recline as well as large storage space. It looks stunning and is simple to maneuver and takes sharp turns.
The GB Qbit+ All City is another excellent choice for a light and compact stroller that's easy to carry. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl, but is slightly less expensive, and includes a few additional features, such as an adjustable leg rest as well as a simpler reclining system that goes nearly all the way back.
Other lightweight strollers worth to mention are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo has a self-standing fold that can be folded with one hand and is compatible with six car seat brands. It's a bit heavier than the other top models in this category however, and its front wheel could be better in taking on bumps.
The UPPAbaby Miniu comes with many of the same features as the larger prams of the brand, but it folds more compactly and can fit in the majority of overhead bins for airplanes. The seat cushion is padded and the recline system is easy to use. It also comes with a great unstructured rear storage bag and a clasp that keeps the stroller folded when it is in use.
Weight
This nimble stroller folds down into a compact, lightweight package and can fit in overhead bins for airlines which makes it ideal for travel. It also comes with a large storage basket as well as tray for children. There are some downsides, such as the restricted recline (it can only be lowered to a very slightly inclined angle) and directions in pictures instead of words. However it is an excellent option for families looking for an easy, lightweight stroller.
The BabyZen YoYo2 is a popular stroller that's especially suited for those who travel. It's super-light (13.7 pounds) and has a compact folded design that allows it to easily fit into overhead bins, and offers decent features for the money. It's compatible with many car seat brands and is among the lightest strollers available on the market.
It's difficult to maneuver. It has a small base and small undercarriage storage capacity, which can make it less suitable for longer trips or for errands. It's not the smoothest rider on the majority of terrain and has a tendency to sway when bumps occur. The latest version has an improved seat and more padding, but it's still not as premium as the first.
In general, we recommend single-handed strollers that have brakes that are easy to lock and a spacious undercarriage for storage. We also recommend a padded seat and harness for greater comfort, a convenient cup holder for parents and an easy foot brake to use.
Our top picks are based upon extensive testing conducted by Senior Editor Chris Abell and Commerce Updates editor Hillary Maglin. We test the strollers in our New York City laboratory and on the streets of the city. We also donate eight strollers we review to local families in need.

The Silver Cross Jet 4 is one of the top single-hand fold strollers on the market. It folds in just four seconds with just one hand, but it does take a few seconds to secure it. Its narrow frame means it is ideal for overhead bins and is able to be rolled like luggage down some 19-inch aisles in airplanes. The fabric is strong, and the canopy offers plenty of sun protection. There are two cup holders and a tray for the parent.
The Uppababy Cruz is a different great stroller that can be folded in one hand. It has a spacious seat that has a deep reclining position and plenty of legroom. Its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver, even over rough surfaces. The front wheels are made for India's rough roads, and it comes with an adjustable brake with padding attached to it. The only drawback is that the Cruz doesn't come with straps for carrying, so it's not suitable for long walks.

It's a bit heavier than the other choices on this list, but it weighs less than 16 pounds and can fit into the overhead compartments of many planes.
