3. Doona Stroller

The Doona is the only infant car seat that can be used as a stroller, which makes it the best travel pushchair if your want to carry a separate car seat or stroller. It has received excellent safety ratings from Stifting Warentest and ADAC. It also scored five stars for its ease of use. The Doona is also rated for travel with infants, and is certified to meet the strict US and EU standards.

The Doona has a unique, double-wall structure that allows the wheels and body to fold into one another. This offers significant safety advantages. Two layers of impact-absorbing plastic along with additional layers of EPS foam and fabrics, offer increased side-impact protection for your child. The handle acts as a powerful bar that absorbs the force of an accident and stops your child from spinning and inflicting serious injuries.

To release the Doona's wheels, there's a lever at the back of the seat that you lift up. This triggers a tiny bump that doesn't wake your baby. To get the wheels back in, just need to lift the lever and the process is seamless.

4. Trvl Stroller

No matter if you're taking an outing in the city, a whirlwind weekend trip or exploring distant destinations The Nuna Trvl Stroller will make your journeys smooth and hassle-free. This toddler stroller is lightweight and packed with convenience and comfort for both you and your child. It also features an ultra-compact self-fold that redefines what it means to be ready for travel.

Its movable front and rear wheel suspension is perfect for riding on bumpy terrain, and the adjustable calf support can convert the seat into a carriage position so that your child can comfortably ride.

The Trvl is easy to use even with a baby. It is easy to attach the PIPA Series infant car seats to the belly bar by using its magnetic MagneTech snap buckle. The Trvl also has the luxurious leatherette-accented handle and pushbar for a the most comfortable grip.

The Trvl comes with a large, easy-to-access basket that can hold a large amount of gear (it fits a diaper bag and a small backpack!). The legs of the stroller compact are longer to give it more stability. It can also be rolled over all surfaces well. There is one small drawback that is the fold is a bit difficult. The handle and ring combination needs to be perfectly timed which means it is susceptible to falling out of place If you're not careful. It's a minor issue however, it is something to think about in the event of using this stroller for a trip.

5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller

This stroller has plenty to offer a single-child model. It has a quick one-second fold and an expandable basket with cup holders for parents. It has a pivoting tray for the child, as well as the safety harness has five points. The only drawback is that it isn't able to recline completely, so it's a bad choice for newborns.

This is the most affordable stroller in this review. It is lightweight stroller and has a high-back seat which allows your child to take in the view. It is not as durable as more expensive models and can struggle with uneven surfaces like cobblestones. It has two front wheels which can be turned to the side when they encounter obstacles.

The 3D Lite comes with a small storage container that can hold a backpack diaper bag that is of medium size. It also offers an open view of the canopy. The sunshade on it is tiny and may be the smallest of the bunch and doesn't extend beyond the back of your child's. It does come with an open sun visor, however.

There's a padded 5-point harness on the seat and the frame is equipped with an adjustable shoulder strap that lets you carry it when folded. It's not quite as compact as the TraveLite however it folds quickly.

It comes with a three-position seat recline, however it doesn't fully flat (use from 6 mo+). The brakes are stiffer than most of the competition and require both sides to be pressed to achieve full brake engagement. Overall, 3D Lite's performance is good for its price. It's better than the budget-friendly Kolcraft Cloud Plus however, it's not as great as some of the more expensive competitors.
