1. G-Luxe Stroller UPPAbaby

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe stroller is among the best lightweight umbrella strollers available. It is stylish and sleek and feels solid and posh when you push it. It is also very easy to fold and comes with a carrying strap for when you have to put it away in a tight space, like a corner of your hotel or closet.

It comes with a complete set of accessories for travel, including the rain cover as well as the SPF 50+ sunshade, which snaps on effortlessly. The G-Luxe comes with a wide stretchy canopy that is perfect for taller children and provides plenty of protection from sun.

Contrary to many umbrella strollers that are light, the UPPAbaby G Luxe comes with a recline with one hand that is controlled by a single button and an adjustable footrest, so that your baby can relax in comfort. It comes with a large storage bin that can be used to store a diaper bag and snacks. It can hold a moderate-sized Changing Pad.

The brake system of the UPPAbaby G-Luxe is rated among the best in the market. The stroller is easy and quick to operate, with responsive brakes. Some parents have complained about the G-Luxe being difficult to fold.

Founded in the US in 2006, UPPAbaby has become known for its practical-but-stylish buggies at competitive prices and its focus on quality and environmental sustainability. The brand is also a favorite for celebrities. Both Emily Blunt, and Adele own UPPAbaby Vista and Cruz strollers.

2. Cybex Mios Stroller

The Mios is a stylish stroller that comes with a wide assortment of accessories. The innovative one-hand fold allows you to fold it into a self-standing position and makes it easy to store. The breathable mesh material will also make hot days less stressful. You can also add a shade to protect your child from sun. The Mios is available in a broad variety of patterns and colours that can be adapted to any style, whether it's classic or contemporary.

It can be used in conjunction with the optional carrycot from birth and can be laid flat for a comfortable fit. The cosy carrycot is easy to remove from the frame with just a single click and memory buttons. It is among the easiest prams to transport, and can be easily carried for short distances, and up and down stairs.

The Mios is easy for you to drive and maneuver, particularly on smooth surfaces such as paths, pavements and paved roads. Adele was able to navigate the rough terrain of Victoria Park.

The Mios is a great choice for families that plan to use it with a car safety seat. It comes with Cybex car seat adapters that work with GB and Cybex infant car seats, and the adapters can remain attached when you fold down the Mios. The Mios can be used in conjunction with the Cybex Aton 2 or Cloud Q series infant car seat with an additional adapter that is sold separately. This combination provides the best travel pushchair for long walks or a day out in the city. The Cybex Mios can also be a great choice for parents of twins as it can be combined with the Bugaboo Comfort Wheeled Board+ in order to accommodate two children.

3. Doona Stroller

The Doona is the only car seat for infants that doubles as a stroller making it the ideal travel pushchair if your need an additional car seat and stroller. It has excellent safety ratings from Stifting Warentest, ADAC, and OAMTC and five stars for the ease of use. The Doona is also rated for air travel with an infant and is certified to meet the stringent US and EU standards.

The Doona features a unique double-wall design that allows the body and wheels to fold in one. This has significant safety advantages. The two layers of durable impact-absorbing plastic, as well as the additional layers of EPS, foam and other materials provide enhanced side-impact protection for your child in the event of an accident. The handle functions as a powerful anti-rebound bar that absorbs the forces of an incident and prevents your baby from rotating and sustaining serious injuries.

You can open the wheels of the Doona by lifting a lever on the back of the seat. This triggers a small jolt that doesn't wake up your baby. You can also tuck in the wheels by grabbing the same lever.

The Doona can be used with a range of models of cars and public transportation which makes it the ideal travel pushchair for parents who travel or live in cities. The Doona is designed to fit easily through narrow airline aisles and is affixed for travel by air. You can take it with you everywhere even when you travel overseas. It's also easy to install without the base which is a huge advantage if you're renting cars on your trip or don't have the space for a separate base at home.

4. Trvl Stroller

The Nuna Trvl Stroller is the ideal companion for any trip whether it's a simple weekend getaway, a long distance journey, or a quick city outing. This lightweight stroller is a powerful tool that offers the highest level of comfort for your child and convenience for you, with a super compact self-fold that redefines what it means to be travel ready.

Its movable front and rear wheel suspensions are perfect for navigating bumpy terrain, while its adjustable calf support can convert the seat into a carriage position so that your child can comfortably ride. The tailored canopy features UPF 50+ sun protection, as well as an open window. If you're a frequent flyer you'll be pleased to know that this stroller can be tucked away in the overhead bins of most airlines (please inquire with your airline to confirm! ).

The Trvl is extremely easy to use even with newborn children. It is easy to attach the PIPA Series infant car seats to the belly bar with its magnetic MagneTech snap buckle. The Trvl also comes with luxurious leatherette accented pushbar and handle for the most comfortable grip.

The Trvl has a big easily accessible basket that can fit a lot of gear (it can fit a diaper bag and small backpack!). The legs of the stroller are longer for more stability and it is able to roll over all surfaces. The fold is a little tricky. It is easy to lose the handle and ring combination in the event of a mishap. This is a minor nuisance, but something to consider when you're planning on taking this stroller on trips.

5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller

This stroller has a lot to offer for a single-child model. It has an expandable basket as well as an adult cup holder. It can fold in a matter of seconds. It also has a pivoting child's tray and 5-point harness. The only issue is that it doesn't recline completely, so it's a bad option for babies.

It's the most affordable stroller we've reviewed. It's light and has a high back seat that lets your child enjoy the view. It's not as sturdy as the higher-end models however, and isn't able to handle uneven surfaces such as cobblestones. It has two front wheels that can be moved to the side when they encounter obstacles.

The 3D Lite comes with a small storage container that can fit the backpack diaper bag of medium size. It also offers an open view of the canopy. Its sunshade may be the smallest and does not extend to your child's back. It does come with a pop-out sun visor, though.

There's a cushioned 5-point harness on the seat, and the frame has an adjustable shoulder strap that lets you carry it when folded. It's not as compact as the TraveLite however it folds easily.

It has a three-position recline, but it doesn't completely flat (use from 6 mo+). The brakes on the 3D Lite are more robust than the ones on most competitors and require both sides be pressed to fully engage. Overall the quality of the 3D Lite is decent for its price. It's better than the less expensive Kolcraft Cloud Plus, but not as good as some of the more expensive competitors.
