Whether you’re traveling for the first time as a parent or you’re an old pro at bringing along little ones on your world adventures, you won’t regret adding a travel stroller to your list of things to pack.
A travel stroller is smaller and more compact than your everyday stroller. However, it’s also a bit bigger and more rugged than an umbrella stroller, making it a better choice for different terrains. The travel stroller still offers a bit of storage and a few amenities like cup holders while also folding compact. All of the strollers we’re recommending fold down to carry-on size to fit in almost all overhead bins on planes.
We’ve included the weight of the stroller and the max child weight it can carry after each review to help you make the best decision for your upcoming travels.
The Traveler by ZOE
While we’re not sure what the budget-friendly Traveler by ZOE has done to be labeled “Disney Approved,” but if you’re heading there, you might want to grab this handy travel stroller. It’s another easy-fold option that quickly snaps down to standard carry-on size. We love that it comes in eight fun colors (and even a camo print) along with a UPF 50+ 4-panel extendable canopy. Your little one will be safe from the sun and heat while you traverse the happiest place on Earth!
Child weight max: 45lbs
Stroller weight: 11lbs

The Chit Chat by Larktale
If you’re looking for something a little fancier, you can’t go wrong with The Chit Chat by Larktale. The Cottesloe Cream version feels very classy and it comes in five other colors. It folds down into standard carry-on size, but it comes with a carrying strap as a bonus. Plus, it pushes like a much larger stroller, making it great for vacations with loads of activity.
Child weight max: 55lbs
Stroller weight: 14.5lbs
Also, new for 2023, they have launched an entire new line of INCREDIBLE stroller wagons. Not as lightweight, but worth checking out for longevity and versatility.
Pockit+ All Terrain Stroller from gb
If you’re wanting super lightweight and a bit of a techy feel, The Pockit+ All Terrain Stroller from gb is the one for you. It’s the lightest travel stroller we’re featuring, coming in 9.5 pounds. At under 10 lbs, this stroller will still amazingly hold up to 55lbs!
Child weight max: 55lbs
Stroller weight: 9.5lbs
Silver Cross Jet
Looking for something that will hold up to loads of trips, takes a car seat, and is easy on the eyes? The Silver Cross Jet is exactly this and more. Newborn compatible from day one with its near-flat recline, this stroller is great for airports, city streets, and quick errands. Unlike some other travel strollers, the canopy also has a pop-out visor to add to its UPF50+ protection. Silver Cross prides itself on high-quality strollers and what the Jet lacks in weight, it makes up for in functionality.
Child weight max: 55lbs
Stroller weight: 13.6 lbs
BABYZEN YOYO2
We’d be remiss if we didn’t share the BABYZEN YOYO2. It’s beautiful, complete with a UPF and water-repellent sunshade as well as compatibility with some infant car seats. Add the newborn pack to offer functionality from day one and YOYO2 becomes the only stroller you’ll ever need. Additionally, the stroller folds and unfolds in seconds, making it the perfect choice for busy urban families and travel. Speaking of the fold, you can easily push the stroller right onto the airplane before popping it in the overhead compartment for takeoff.
Child weight max: 39.7 lbs (US weight limit)
Stroller weight: 13.6 lbs
These five lightweight travel strollers will help you get through subways, airports, and busy streets. Whether you go for a fun, bright color or the most compact fold, your family will definitely be traveling in style.
