The UPPAbaby MINU V2 is another stroller that folds up easily and weighs less than 17 pounds and comes with an ample underseat storage basket that can accommodate a large backpack or diaper bag. Its reversible footrest doubles as an handle when the stroller is folded into its position. This feature was a real boon during our testing, but unfortunately it also exposed the stroller to damage by the airline when one of our editors forgot to close it when checking the stroller with her flight. The baggage handler was ripped off the footrest and the UPPAbaby guarantee doesn't cover airline-related damage.

Unlike umbrella strollers, most of the other travel strollers we've looked at make use of a variety hinges and joints to fold up into smaller, more compact size. For instance the UPPAbaby Gluxe folds in only three seconds and stands upright when it's done, but its button/ring combination can be tricky and requires you to time it perfectly.

Consider how the stroller might be locked in its closed, compacted position. Certain models require you to pull down on a handle or lever located close to the rear wheels, while others have red buckles that need to be connected. Read the owner's guide for more details about how each model's locking mechanism operates.

If you happen to encounter a stroller that's difficult to close Try using a product like baby oil or WD-40 to lubricate the joints and connections. If this doesn't help, you can contact the manufacturer or an expert stroller service. But don't try to force it.

Certain strollers are sold as part of an overall travel system that also includes a car seat and can be purchased for the same price or less than buying the products separately. While this is a convenient option, it's important to note that the quality of the stroller in bundles tends to be less than standalone models. We recommend that you only think about these as a last option.
