Easy to Fold
The most effective strollers for travel can fold into a compact unit that can easily be put in overhead bins of planes or car trunks. Look for models with one-hand folds that can be done without any stooping or straining. Some models also come with a convenient carry strap that makes it simple to carry the stroller on your shoulder when you're not using it. If you plan to walk often during your trip, a stroller with an enormous basket under the seat could be helpful. It can be used to store large bags for diapers or weekender bags.

Comfortable Seating
The best travel strollers are designed to give your child a comfortable ride. Look for models that are cushioned and have a well-sized canopy. They should also recline, which is important if you plan on using the stroller to nap during your trip. Also, make sure the seat is appropriate for the size of your child. Some strollers are designed to be as light and compact as they can be, but this could compromise the comfort of your child.
There are plenty of options that offer both style and comfort. The Cybex Coya, for example is a stylish stroller that is both lightweight and durable.

A stroller that is used for travel should be comfortable for both you and your baby. Look for a model with an expansive and comfortable seat that reclines to allow napping during long trips. The seat should also feature a a well-padded leg rest, since this can provide a more comfortable ride. Make sure you choose a stroller with a comfortable handle that can be used to carry it when folded.
Convenient Storage
Contrary to the majority of strollers, a few travel-friendly models have ultra-compact folds that are ideal for stowing away in car trunks or crowded overhead bins. These strollers are often lighter than 10 pounds and are easy to carry by anyone, including children.
UPPAbaby was one of the first to dive into the "travel stroller that doubles as an everyday stroller" category and its Minu is still the top choice among parents who do not want to risk having their stroller checked at the gate every time they fly. The stroller is IATA-certified and can fit in almost all overhead bins, maneuvers like a dream off the plane, and has an array of innovative features (including folding with one hand, large sunshade, a comfortable seat with a multi-position recline and a large undercarriage basket, and a padded handlebar with a wrist strap, and a simple foot brake that is one step).
The Kolcraft Cloud Plus is a budget-friendly stroller that is a luxurious option. It is not the prettiest or the smallest of our review, but it has an easy-to-use frame, and lots of clever features, including a reclining mechanism and an padded brake. There's also a huge basket underneath the carriage, and a one-handed fold. It's also environmentally friendly and comes with recyclable packaging, and comes with an extended warranty of 10 years.
Another strong contender is the Bugaboo Butterfly, which has an elongated profile and a host of convenient features. In our tests, it swung well over different surfaces including wood and shag carpet and its storage basket is big enough to fit in a backpack. The only drawback is that it's heavy (at 17 pounds) which means it might not fit in the overhead bin of smaller planes.
If you don't have plenty of space for storing your stroller at home, consider buying a bike shed or creating a custom nook just for it. A garden shed is the perfect place to store your stroller since it's weatherproof and shielded from the elements. It's also accessible when you need it. A shed or nook can also be used as a secure spot to stash your stroller in case it gets lost or stolen when you're away.
