single stroller Pushchairs
If you're on a tight budget and don't require a stroller that can double as car seat carriers the Babyzen Yoyo is a good option. It comes with a flip-flop-friendly one-step footbrake.
It's simple to push, and it feels solid when navigating kerbs and woodland paths. Additionally, it's easy to fold.
1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned itself a reputation for being the ultimate stroller that is lightweight, suitable for city dwellers as well jet-setters. This is thanks to its nimble maneuverability and fold that fits into the overhead baggage of an aircraft. The most recent version features independent suspension on all four wheels that is made from Hytrel elastomer to 'perfectly navigate across all types of surfaces and terrain'.
The base YOYO2 frame, curved fabric bassinet and the 6+ month color pack form a stylish pushchair that is easy on the eye with a subtle yet elegant design and a tasteful branding. The base frame alone weighs just over a kilogram and is so light you can lift it directly from the box (and do it using one hand).
The hood, as an example is able to snap onto the YOYO2 in a reassuring way. It is also machine washable at 30deg, which helps to prevent staining caused by smushed and mashed carrot puffs and rice cakes. It can be used as a pram from birth with the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted into a stroller after 6 months by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a great choice for parents looking for a stroller that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be converted from a stroller to wagon by simply turning the handle, meaning parents can pick the option they want to use on their trip. The wagon is able to accommodate one or two children from 6 months to five years old. It comes with a large storage basket that can hold everything you need on the go.
The Xplore also has two canopies that turn from the front to the back, offering ample sun coverage for all family members. It also has a footwell that's not as deep or large as other wagons, which means it might not be comfortable for long-distance trips or napping.
The frame of the Xplore wagon feels solid and sturdy, but it doesn't bend like other wagons that we tried. It is also more difficult than other wagons to fold, and it's not able to lock tight after folding. 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 bare-bones double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents who want a budget-friendly secondary travel stroller. It scored high in our Strollers and Multiples Test for its weight and folded dimensions, which means it's lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to lift and store in a trunk of a car. It also comes with a multi-position reclining seat and a parent cup holder. Other important features include 360-degree shock-absorbing front wheels as well as two large hanging storage bags.
In our test of the push and turn, it did better than most of the other
cheap single pushchair strollers we tried, but it's not the easiest to maneuver on uneven terrain or through narrow doors. The sunshades it has were among the smallest strollers we test. They only cover the top, and don't have windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a much larger canopy.
It took us less than 3 minutes to assemble the Delta using a standard manual. None of the parts required tools. It is missing certain features we believe are essential for double strollers. They include a large basket, reclining seats and adjustable leg rests.
4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1
The Zelia is the most recent model in Maxi-Cosi's range of pushchairs and is described as an urban travel system. It is suitable from birth until around 3.5-years-old. The seat and carrycot can be converted easily with just a few clicks. It can be used with Maxi Cosi capsule car seats. It comes with a light Mico 30 infant seat, a stay-in car-base and reversible carriage.
It is really easy to manoeuvre and the one-hand recline of the
single seat buggy for sale and the super large shopping basket make it easy for parent-tots to get the child in and out of the seat quickly. Despite being narrow, the pushchair handled the everyday bumps well and was able to pass through doorways without any fuss.
The front wheels can to be locked in a forward position, or they can rotate. This is useful for navigating through rough terrain. When we walked on the stony path, we let them move and it handled this fairly well although it did seem a little bumpier than others in our test.
