1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned itself a reputation for being the ultimate stroller that is light, ideal for urban dwellers as well as jet-setters. This is thanks to its super nimble maneuverability and fold that fits into the overhead luggage of an aeroplane. The most recent version features independent suspension on all four wheels made from Hytrel elastomer to 'perfectly navigate all types of surface and terrain'.
The YOYO2 frame base, curved fabric bassinet and 6+ month color pack combine to make a stylish and elegant pushchair that is easy to look at, with a subtle but elegant aesthetic and tasteful branding. The frame's weight alone is just under a kilo and is so light that you can easily lift it from the box (and do so one-handed).
The hood, for instance is able to snap onto the YOYO2 with a reassuring manner. It is machine washable up to 30 degrees which helps avoid the stains that result from smushed carrot puffs and rice cakes. It can be used as a pram right from birth using the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted to stroller at 6 months old by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
Evenflo Pivot Xplore stroller wagon is a great option for parents seeking an adaptable stroller. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore can be converted from a stroller to a wagon by simply flipping the handle. Parents can then choose which mode is
best single buggy for their journey. The wagon can be used by one or two kids from 6 months to 5 years, and it comes with a large storage basket that can accommodate everything you need on the go.
The Xplore also has two canopies that move from front to back, providing ample sun coverage for all family members. It has a smaller footprint than other wagons. This may not be suitable for long trips or naps.
The frame of the Xplore feels sturdy and solid but it doesn't have the same flexibility as other wagons we have tested. It is also more difficult to fold than some of the competition and does not close tightly when folded. It is easy to maneuver however, and it is able to fit through narrow 28 inches doors.
3. Delta Children LX Side-by-Side
This basic double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents seeking a budget-friendly secondary travel stroller. It scored well in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and folded dimensions. This means it's lightweight and compact when folded and easy to lift and store in a trunk for your car. It also offers an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in several positions as well as an adult cup holder. Other key features include two large storage bags that hang from the ceiling and 360-degree front wheels that are shock-absorbing.
It performed better in our push and turn test than most of the other strollers we tested, but it is still difficult to maneuver over uneven ground or through narrow doors. Its sunshades are among the ones we tested the smallest, providing only direct overhead coverage and no windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a more extensive canopy.
The Delta took us just under 3 minutes to put together with an average manual, and none of the components required tools. It is missing certain features we believe are essential for double strollers. These include an extra-large basket, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests.

It comes with a light Mico 30 infant seat, a stay-in-car-base and reversible carriage.
The seat reclines with one hand, and the large shopping basket makes it easy for parents to take their child in and out. This narrow pushchair handled all day bumps and doorways with ease.
The front wheels can be locked in an forward position or let them swivel which can be helpful when crossing rough terrain. We allowed the front wheels to rotate while walking along the stony path. It was able to handle this well, although it seemed a little bumpier.

single pushchairs for jogging, but they also offer a great selection of 4-wheel strollers. City Tour 2 is their most well-known model. It is simple to fold and can fit in the boot of a car even with a carrycot attached.
It's a bit heavier than other strollers that we tested however the wheels are made of rubber composite so it feels well-made and durable. It is easy to maneuver on different terrains, and even with two children with shopping bags and other items.
The carrycot and the seat both have hoods that can be pulled down to reveal sun canopy extensions that are UV50+. They are showerproof and sturdy unlike other prams' hoods that are whipped back into toddlers' faces.
It doesn't have a lot of storage space, but it comes with a large, deep basket to hold a changing bag or plenty of groceries. You can also use it with a Baby Jogger car seat for babies who weigh 20 pounds or less (car seat and adapters are available separately). The City Tour 2 is a good choice if you want to take a stroller on the go.
