The footrest that is reversible can double as a handle when the stroller is folded into its position. This feature was a huge benefit during our testing however, it also opened the stroller to airline damage when one of our editors forgot to close it while checking the stroller with her flight. The baggage handler was ripped off the footrest and the UPPAbaby warranty won’t cover airline damage.

The UPPAbaby Gluxe, for instance, folds in less than three seconds, and then stands up when it is done. However the ring and button combination isn’t always easy and you must time it perfectly.

You’ll also want to take into consideration how the stroller locks into its compact, closed position. Some models require you to pull down on a handle or lever situated close to the rear wheels, while others have red buckles that have to be connected. Read the owner’s guide for more details on how each model’s locking system operates.

If you come across a stroller that is difficult to close, use baby oil or WD-40 to lubricate all the joints and connections. If it doesn’t work, you can contact the manufacturer’s customer support or try an repair service for your stroller. But don’t try to make it close. Inducing the stroller to close even though it isn’t intended to do so can damage it and cause injury to both you and your child.

A good travel stroller should be small and lightweight enough to fit into the overhead bins on airplanes. However, consult with your airline prior to you purchase to make sure it’s in line with their size and regulations. Many airlines will check gate strollers if they’re too large to fit into the cabin. Some airlines will take strollers to the hold if their baggage allowance is exceeded.

Some models also come with a complete tray for parents, with a slot for a laptop or tablet. In addition to keeping parents in order, these features may aid in reducing stress on long journeys.

Another factor to consider when selecting a travel stroller is the ability to fold up and fit in tight spaces, like an airplane overhead bin or on public transportation.

Think about how much room you have at home when you are evaluating strollers. A smaller travel stroller is the best option when you are limited on space. However, if you plan for frequent trips that require the stroller to be carried by car or public transportation, a larger product that has better performance in everyday use and storage may be better suited.

Some strollers can be purchased as part of the travel package which includes a child car seat. The price is the same or less than purchasing the products on their own. While this is a convenient option however, it is important to remember that the quality of the stroller that is included in these bundle packages often tends to be lower than standalone models. We suggest that you only look at these options as a last resort.
