11 Ways To Completely Redesign Your Best Travel Pushchair
Best Travel Pushchair
You may be looking for the best travel pushchair for you if you are always on the move or are planning to travel with your child. You may want one that is easy to fold and navigate on bumpy terrain. You may also require a seat that reclines for comfy snoozes or has additional features such as a bassinet for a baby.
1. G-Luxe Stroller UPPAbaby
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe stroller is among the best lightweight umbrella strollers available. It's sleek and stylish and it feels sturdy and luxurious to push. It is also very easy to fold and has an adjustable strap for carrying when you need to store it in a small space, like a corner in your closet or hotel.
It comes with a comprehensive set of accessories for traveling, including the rain cover and SPF 50+ sunshade that snaps on effortlessly. The G-Luxe comes with a wide stretchy canopy that is perfect for taller children. It also provides ample protection from sun.

Another excellent feature is the braking system, which has been named one of the top on the market. The stroller is simple and quick to operate, with responsive brakes. However, a few parents complained about the G-Luxe's difficulty in folding.
Founded in the US in 2006, UPPAbaby has become known for its practical-but-stylish buggies at competitive prices and its focus on quality and environmental sustainability. The brand is also a favorite for celebrities. Both Emily Blunt, and Adele have UPPAbaby Vista and Cruz strollers.
2. Cybex Mios Stroller

It is also one of the prams that are lightest to carry, and it can be carried with ease for a short distance, and up and down steps.
If you're ready to go out to explore, the Mios is easy to steer and maneuver particularly on smooth surfaces such as pavements, roads and paths. It's also a pleasure to use on rough terrain, and Adele was enjoying navigating it around the hills and mud of Victoria Park with confidence.
The Mios is an excellent choice for families that plan to use it in conjunction with a car safety seat. The Mios includes Cybex car seats adapters compatible with GB or Cybex infant car seats. These adapters can remain attached even when the Mios is folded down. It can also be used with the Cybex Aton 2 and Cloud Q series infant car seats with an additional adapter sold separately.

3 in one pushchair. Doona Stroller
Doona is an original infant car seat that can also be used as a stroller. This makes it a great travel pushchair for those who don't require an additional stroller or car seat. It has received high safety ratings from Stifting Warentest and ADAC. It also earned five stars for its ease of use. The Doona is also rated for air travel with an infant and is certified to meet the strict US and EU standards.
The Doona has a unique, double-wall structure which allows the wheels and body to be folded into one another. This offers significant advantages in terms of safety. The two layers of durable impact-absorbing plastic as well as additional layers of EPS, foam, and textiles offer enhanced side-impact protection for your child in the event of an accident. The handle can also function as an effective bar that can absorb the force of an accident and prevent your child from spinning backwards and suffering serious injuries.
To pop out the Doona's wheels, there's a lever at the back of the seat that you can lift up. It causes a slight vibration, but it doesn't wake your baby. You can also tuck in the wheels by lifting the lever.
The Doona is compatible with a variety of automobile models and public transport, making it a perfect travel pushchair. It's designed to fit into narrow aisles of airlines and is suitable for traveling with infants, so you can take your Doona with you wherever you go, even overseas. It's also simple to install with or without the base. This is ideal if you are renting a car on your trip, or don't wish to use up your home space to store an additional base.
4. Trvl babiie stroller
No matter if you're taking an outing in the city or a long weekend or exploring distant destinations The Nuna Trvl stroller compact will ensure your travels are smooth and hassle-free. This stroller is lightweight and packed with convenience and comfort for both you and your child. It also has an easy-to-fold design that redefines what it means for a stroller to be ready for travel.
Its progressive front and rear wheel suspensions are perfect to navigate bumpy terrain while its adjustable calf support can transform the seat into a carriage to allow your child to take a ride in comfort. The specially designed canopy comes with UPF 50+ sun protection, as well as a peek-a-boo window. And if you're a frequent flyer you'll appreciate the fact that this stroller fits into the overhead bins of many airlines (please inquire with your airline to be sure! ).
The Trvl is incredibly easy to use, even with a newborn. It is easy to attach the PIPA Series infant car seats to the belly bar with its magnetic MagneTech snap buckle. The Trvl comes with a leatherette accented handle and pushbar for an ergonomic grip.
The Trvl comes with a large, easily accessible basket that can store many items (including a small backpack and a diaper pram bag!). Its legs are also placed on the longer side to provide more stability and the stroller glided well over all surfaces tested. There is one minor issue: the fold is a bit tangled. The ring and handle needs to be perfectly timed which means it is susceptible to falling out of place if you aren't careful. This is a minor inconvenience however, it's something to think about in case you intend to take this stroller for trips.
5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller
This stroller for a single child has plenty for the price. It comes with an expandable basket as well as a cup holder for parents. It can be folded in just a few seconds. It also features an adjustable child's tray that pivots and 5-point harness. The only drawback is that it doesn't recline completely which makes it a bad choice for newborns.
This is the cheapest stroller in this review. It is lightweight and has a high back seat that allows your toddler to enjoy the view. It's not as durable as more expensive models and can struggle on uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones. It has two front wheels which can be shifted to the side when they encounter obstacles.
The 3D Lite has a small storage bin that can accommodate a moderate-sized backpack diaper bag and it also has an open window in the canopy. Its sunshade is quite small and might be the smallest of the bunch and does not extend beyond the back of your child's. It does, however, come with a sun visor that is able to pop out.
The seat has a 5-point harness that's padded and the frame has an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it folded. It's not as compact as the TraveLite but it still folds up very quickly.
It has three recline positions, but not all the way down (use after 6 months or more). The brakes on the 3D Lite are a little more rigid than the brakes of many competitors and require that both sides be pressed in order to fully engage. Overall, the quality of the 3D Lite is decent for its price. It's superior to budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus, but not as good in comparison to some of its more expensive competitors.
