Best Lightweight Strollers

The Summer 3Dpac CS+ Double Stroller is the only stroller on this list that accommodates two babies, allowing children to ride side-by-side. Taking that alone into consideration, you can already recommend this product to parents with twins.

That being said, twin strollers are not anything new, so fitting two seats alone does not separate this product from most positions on the market today. The lightweight frame that measures 30 inches wide yet weighs less than 23 pounds does though, easily fitting through most standard doors yet proving tough as nails and twice as durable.

The model's load capacity is also quite considerable, supporting two six-month toddlers 50 pounds each without breaking two sweats. Now, the individual multi-position recline seats will allow you to make even the most capricious babies comfortable but putting the seat back up is a two-handed task that can be quite difficult at times, so there's that to "look forward to".

Still, we can forgive the transgression, because the product is packing more than enough excellent features to offset that. These include the extra-large storage basket that easily fits multiple grocery bags, purses, and more. These also include the parent storage pockets that do not quit, accommodating not only the largest smartphones but also tablets, books, you name the item.

The Chicco Liteway Stroller starts with the moon gray paintwork, making the lightweight product look much more elegant than the price would suggest. When unfolded, the baby carriage measures 34.5 x 18.5 x 40 inches, compact enough to simplify outings and getaways. Closed, the carriage folds to 10 x 46 x 11.75 inches, easily fitting most trunks. To add more, the automatic storage latch will allow you to fold this stroller within seconds and without worrying about the carriage unfolding when you least expect it. Aside from the 3D-style fold, there's also the carry handle that lets you transport this thing without much discomfort.

Because the model's been designed so compact, certain compromises were inevitable, including the basket area underneath that is somewhat inconvenient to access and does not hold as much as some would prefer. Still, the basket can keep most on-the-go essentials close at hand, so we're not that upset about it. We're certainly not upset about the backrest that you can easily adjust using one hand. Offering four position options, the backrest accommodates growing children.

The Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Travel Stroller puts the "lightweight" in the "lightweight stroller". Weighing only 11.8 pounds, the carriage's presence is barely noticeable. You can fold this thing with one hand and carry it with the same hand. Plus, the self-standing folding mechanism will let you do so without balancing the stroller against some object.

More often than not, these lightweight models are compact and nimble, sure, but they're not the most enduring kind. This is not the case with this one. Despite its lightweight build, this baby carriage ensures the smoothest ride, primarily thanks to its all-terrain wheels and front suspension. From cobblestone streets to bumpy dirt roads, the stroller glides over them without disturbing the napping baby.

In the meantime, the three-tier, extended canopy will be providing maximum UV protection, while the peek-a-boo window will let you keep a watchful eye on the little one. Plus, you can always expand the window and tuck it away when needed.

Again, from the model's size, you'd expect certain comfort trade-offs. Yet again, this is not quite the case. Aside from the parent tray that, despite featuring two drink holders, might not accommodate some cups, the carriage is as comfortable as its more sizable competition.

The Graco Verb Stroller is as tiny as the babies this carriage has been designed to accommodate. When you close and fold this adorable baby vehicle, the carriage shrinks to 17 x 18 x 11.65 inches, so you can easily carry it with one hand and just as easily fit the stroller inside the smallest trunks. Even more important is that this baby carriage accepts all Graco® Click Connect™ infant car seats, featuring the Click Connect tech that gives you a secure one-second attachment and that audible click that lets you know the baby will remain safe and sound on the road.

When you and the baby are out and about, the ride will also remain safe, and enjoyable too. Owing to the locking front-swivel wheels, the stroller's able to ensure excellent maneuverability and provide extra control, whereas the suspension system will prevent bumps and small potholes from making the ride less smooth. Even though the unfolded stroller measures no more than 40 x 18 x 25 inches, even six-month-old babies that weigh as much as 50 pounds will sit and lie there snug and cozy. Using the multi-position reclining seat, you will be able to make the seat conducive towards comfortable napping too.

Now, before shifting gears and addressing the holders, baskets, and so on, the colors on these portable strollers can be different from advertised, so do not be surprised if you receive a product that looks somewhat different (shade-wise) from the one you thought you were ordering.

The Baby Trend Rocket Stroller is the most inexpensive product within this lineup. At less than $45, this is an impressive carriage, even though not without its flaws (cannot avoid those when you keep the price tag as low as it is). The biggest issue we have with this one is that the parent "tray" that the manufacturers rightfully refer to as a parent organizer is made of fabric, not plastic. As you can imagine, an organizer made of fabric like this one (and it is a roomy one, with a zippered compartment and three separate holders) is not as comfortable when it comes to keeping drinks there as plastic trays. On the upside, you can store much more stuff there compared to standard parent trays.

Besides that, the one-section canopy is not as great at shielding the little one from sunlight as the umbrella strollers we have reviewed before, even though it is adjustable and removable so, more often than not, you'll be able to ensure sufficient UV protection. And, as the removable part suggests, when the sun is gone, you can separate the canopy from the stroller to enable an unobstructed view.

The upside is the model's size and weight. Folded, this baby carriage sits at ~6 x 42 x 10.5 inches, pretty conservative numbers even compared to most lightweight strollers. From that, the carriage unfolds to ~40 x 18 x 29.5 inches, which is, again, quite compact. Weight-wise, the model's measuring 13.5 pounds, so you can easily carry this stroller with one hand.
