It's easy to push, and it is solid when traversing kerbs and woodland trails. It's also easy to fold.
1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned a reputation as the most lightweight stroller, both for city dwellers as jet-setters. This is due to its nimble maneuverability and fold which fits in an aeroplane's overhead luggage. The most recent version comes with independent suspension on all 4 wheels constructed of Hytrel elastomer, allowing it to perfectly navigate all terrains and types'.
The curved fabric bassinet, base YOYO2 and the 6+ months colour pack combine to create a chic pushchair with a subtle, elegant aesthetic. The frame itself weighs just over a kilogram and is so light that you can easily lift it out of the box (and do it using one hand).
It's also easy to attach or remove attachments, adaptors, or adaptors such as the hood, for instance, snaps onto the YOYO2 with reassuring clicks and is machine washable at 30 degrees to prevent staining from rice cakes that have been smashed and half-dissolved carrot puffs. The Newborn Pack and bassinet can be used from birth as prams. It can also be converted into a stroller after 6 months using the YOYO connect additional chassis.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
Evenflo Pivot Xplore stroller wagon is an excellent choice for parents seeking an adaptable stroller. It can be converted from a stroller to wagon by simply flipping the handle, which means parents can select the option they want to use on their trip. The wagon can accommodate one or two kids from 6 months old to 5 years old, and it has a wide storage basket for everything you require on the go.
The Xplore also has two canopies that rotate from front to back, ensuring ample sun coverage for all family members. It has a smaller footwell than some wagons. This may not be ideal for long drives or naps.
The frame of the Xplore wagon is solid and sturdy, but it doesn't bend like other wagons that we test. It is also more difficult than other wagons to fold and it's not able to lock tight after folding. It is easy to move however, and is able to fit through narrow 28 inches doors.
3. Delta Children LX Side-by-Side
This basic double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents seeking an affordable, second-hand travel stroller. It scored high in our Strollers and Multiples Test for weight and folded dimensions. This means it's lightweight and compact when folded and easy to move and store in a trunk for your car. It also comes with a reclined seat that can be reclined in several positions as well as a cup holder for the parent. Other important features include two large hanging storage bags as well as 360-degree front wheels that are shock-absorbing.
In our test of the push and turn, it did better than the majority of other strollers that we tried, but it's not the most comfortable to maneuver over uneven ground or through narrow doors. Its sunshades were among the smallest strollers we tested. They only cover the top of the stroller and do not feature peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a much larger canopy.
The Delta took us just under 3 minutes to put together using an average manual and no components required tools. However, it's missing certain essential features that we believe you should consider non-negotiable for a double stroller for example, a larger basket and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.

The Zelia is the latest model in Maxi-Cosi's range of pushchairs and is billed as an urban travel system.

The seat reclines with one hand, and the big shopping basket makes it easy for parents to help their child in and out. Despite this being quite a narrow pushchair it handled the everyday bumps with ease and was able to pass through doorways without a hitch.
The front wheels can be locked into forward positions or let them swivel which can be helpful when crossing rough terrain. We let the front wheels to swivel during our walk on a stony path. It handled this reasonably well, even though it felt to be a bit rougher.
5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2,
Baby Jogger is known for their all-terrain, 3-wheeler pushchairs for jogging, but they also make a good range of 4-wheeler strollers. City Tour 2 is their most loved model. It is easy to use and folds down small enough to fit into a car boot even with the carrycot attached.
It's heavier than other strollers that we test, but since it comes with rubber composite wheels it feels sturdy and well-made. It is easy to maneuver on various terrains and even with two children as well as a shopping bag and other items.
The seat and carrycot both come with hoods with pull-down sun canopy extensions that are UV50+. They are strong and waterproof, in contrast to other hoods for prams that can be blown back into toddlers' faces.

You can also connect it with the Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a travel system for infants up to 20 lb (car seat and adapters sold separately).
