It’s simple to single push chair, and it feels solid when walking along woodland paths and kerbs. It’s also a breeze to fold.
1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned itself a reputation as the ultimate lightweight buggy for city dwellers and jet-setters alike, due to its nimble maneuverability and foldable design that can be tucked away in aeroplane overhead luggage. This latest version boasts independent suspension on all four wheels that is made from Hytrel elastomer to ‘perfectly navigate across all types of surfaces and terrain’.
The frame’s base YOYO2 frame with a curved fabric bassinet as well as a the 6+ month colour pack come together to make a stylish and elegant pushchair that is easy on the eye and has a subtle but elegant design and stylish branding. The frame’s base weight is less than a kilogram, and is so light you can lift it from the box with just one hand.
It’s also easy to add or remove attachments or adaptors like the hood for example, snaps onto the YOYO2 using reassuring clicks and is machine washable to remove staining from rice cakes that have been smashed and half-dissolved carrot puffs. The Newborn Pack and bassinet can be used from birth as an infant stroller. It can also be transformed to a stroller by 6 months using the YOYO connect to additional chassis.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a great option for parents who are looking for a stroller that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be converted from a stroller to a wagon just by flipping the handle, so parents can choose which mode they prefer on their adventure. The wagon can be used by one or two children from 6 months old to 5 years old, and it comes with a large storage basket to accommodate all of your on-the-go needs.
The Xplore comes with two canopy options that rotate from front-to-back, providing adequate sun protection for the entire family. It has a smaller footprint than other wagons. This isn’t ideal for long drives or napping.
The frame of the Xplore wagon feels solid and sturdy but it doesn’t bend as much as other wagons that we tried. It is also more difficult to fold than many of the competition and it doesn’t lock tightly when folded. It is easy to move however, and it can be able to fit through narrow 28-inch doors.
3. Delta Children LX Side by Side
This Delta Children bare-bones travel stroller is a great option for parents looking for a second stroller that’s priced reasonably. It scored highly in our Strollers and Multiples Test for its weight and folded dimensions, which means it’s lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to move and store in a trunk of a car. It also offers the option of reclining in multiple positions and an adult cup holder. Other key features include 360-degree shock absorbing front wheels as well as two large storage bags that hang from the ceiling.
It did better in our push and turn test than many of the other strollers we tested, but it is nonetheless difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain or through narrow doors. Its sunshades were among the smallest of all strollers we tested. They only cover the top, and do not have peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have significantly larger canopy sizes.
The Delta took us just over three minutes to assemble with an average manual and no components required tools. It’s missing certain features we consider essential in a double single stroller for sale. These include an extra-large basket, reclining seats and adjustable leg rests.
4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1
The Zelia is the newest addition to Maxi-Cosi’s pushchair range and is billed as an urban travel system. It is designed to accommodate infants from birth until around 3.5 years, converting easily between a carrycot and seat in just a few clicks. It can also be used with Maxi-Cosi capsule car seats and comes with the light Mico 30 infant car seat, a stay-incar base and a reversible carriage.
It is really easy to manoeuvre and the one-hand recline of the seat and the massive shopping basket make it simple for parents to get their child out and in quickly. This narrow pushchair handled all day bumps and doorways with ease.
The front wheels can to be locked in a forward position and can also rotate. This is useful in rough terrain. We let the front wheels to rotate while walking along a stony path. It was able to handle this well, although it seemed to be a bit rougher.
5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2,
Baby Jogger is most famous for its 3-wheeled, all-terrain jogging strollers. But they also produce a wide selection of pushchairs with four wheels. The City Tour 2 is one of their most popular models. It is easy to use and folds up small enough to fit into a car boot even with the carrycot attached.
It’s a little heavier than other strollers we tested however the wheels are made of rubber composite, which makes it feel well-built and durable. It is easy to maneuver over different terrains, and even with two kids as well as a shopping bag and other items.
The carrycot and seat both have hoods that can be pulled down to reveal sun canopy extensions that are UV50+. They are strong and waterproof, unlike other hoods for prams, which can be blown back into toddlers’ faces.
It’s not the biggest of storage space, but it does come with a huge basket that’s deep enough for a changing bag as well as plenty of food items. It can also be connected with a Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a travel system for babies up to 20 pounds (car seat and adapters are sold separately). If you require a stroller that can be taken on the road, then the City Tour 2 is an excellent option.
