The basket is generously sized, with ample space beneath the seat, making it a cinch to store larger items. And with its wide opening, accessing your belongings is smooth and easy. A standard rain cover is also a delightful addition. However, the belt system requires a little more effort; you'll need to insert four separate parts into buckles for the shoulder and waist.

Combining stable maneuverability, easy folding, portability, and excellent storage capacity, this is a top contender for those considering a lightweight, compact stroller.

While you can't fold it with just one hand, it does compact nicely. The front bar makes it easy to carry, ideal for those frequently using trains or buses and even for those with jam-packed car trunks. A bonus feature is that you can roll it like a carry case, adding to its convenience.

In terms of pushing, many testers noted, "It easily navigates bumpy roads, and makes sharp turns or changing directions a breeze." With suspension on its front wheels, it's excellent at absorbing shocks, ensuring a less bumpy ride.

Additionally, the stroller's belt system integrates the shoulder and waist straps, using a magnetic mechanism for a hassle-free, smooth fit. The canopy is also extendable, perfect to maintain your little one's nap.

However, there are a couple of points to consider. The basket is on the smaller side, limiting the amount of items you can carry. Plus, access to the basket is only from the front, and due to the frame beneath the seat, getting items in and out can be a little challenging. So, for those looking to pack a lot in the basket, this might not be the best fit.

Given its agility in crowded spaces, this stroller should definitely be on the list for those who often find themselves navigating through busy areas.

Loading and unloading from both the front and back is smooth, thanks to its wide opening.

While its easy folding and storage capacity are definite pluses, the pushing experience on uneven terrains might not be the best. So, if you prioritize a smooth ride above all, this might not be the perfect fit for you.

Introducing the COYA by CYBEX, a German brand. This stroller is designed for little ones from one month up to roughly four years old, accommodating up to 48.5 pounds. Plus, it's compatible with travel systems, making it versatile for on-the-go parents.

Folding is pretty straightforward. Just grip the lever and push the handle forward. However, when it comes to locking it in its folded state, you might need both hands to secure the stroller, which could feel a little cumbersome. It also comes with a carry strap, making it easier to sling over your shoulder and carry around.

Its agility is impressive, and our testers gave it positive reviews such as, "It effortlessly glides forward even with one hand, and changing directions is a breeze."

When it comes to securing your child, CYBEX uses its familiar One-Pull Harness system. This seamlessly integrates the shoulder and waist straps, ensuring both quick and effortless adjustments. On the downside, the basket is on the smaller side, with limited space beneath the seat, which makes it a little difficult to stash larger items.

Folding is easy by just lifting the lever beneath the seat, and with one hand, you can fold it down to its compact size. However, it doesn't come with a carry strap and is a bit on the larger side, so lugging it around might feel like a mini workout.

As for the push experience, most of our testers praised it. "Thanks to its larger three-wheel design, tight turns are a breeze, and it rolls smoothly over uneven terrains," said one enthusiastic tester. However, some feedback from our female reviewers noted, "Due to its weight, you might need a bit of muscle when tackling curbs or steps."。

The basket underneath is roomy, providing ample space for a diaper bag or other essentials. Plus, you can smoothly load and unload from either the front or back, thanks to its wide opening. The seat sits at a comfortable 20 inches, making it easier on your back when lifting your little one in and out. The extendable canopy is also perfect for maintaining nap-time tranquility.

While its ride is smooth and it can hold a good amount of baggage, be mindful of its size and weight when folded. For those frequently climbing stairs or heavily relying on public transport, this might not be the best pick for you.

On the push-test, one of our testers positively noted, "Its solid feel and ability to glide smoothly over uneven paths is a winner." However, our female testers noticed a slight inconvenience. "The handle is a little too high, making tight turns a bit of a challenge." Additionally, the extendable canopy will help keep your little one's sleep uninterrupted.

While the storage basket does offer some depth, it's on the smaller side, limiting how much you can stash. Another point to consider is that you'll need to adjust all four of the shoulder and waist belts, which may feel time-consuming. For those always on the go, or for those short in height, this might not be the top pick.

Chicco's Mini Bravo Plus is tailored for little ones from around six months and up to about four years (or weighing up to 48.5 pounds), this stroller is also travel system compatible. And for those younger than six months, it easily docks with an infant car seat.

To fold, simply lift the lever under the seat, and it effortlessly folds in half with just one hand. However, it doesn't come with a carry strap and leans a bit on the larger side, so it might feel a little bulky when lugging it around.

During our push-test, some feedback we got was, "The wheels are generously sized, but due to the stroller's weight, hopping curbs and making quick turns needed a bit more strength than anticipated."

The storage basket under the seat is spacious, and can perfectly fit a diaper bag. Accessing your things is also a breeze with its wide opening. Another perk is that there are drink holders for both children and parents. Its extendable canopy also ensures your little one can nap peacefully.

With its generous storage capacity, it's ideal for parents primarily using it for mall trips after a short drive.

The YOYO2 by BABYZEN is designed for children from around six months up to about four years (or weighing up to 48.5 pounds), this stroller is also compatible with travel systems. For those under six months old, it can be used with an infant car seat, ensuring cozy rides from the start.

When we asked our testers about the pushing experience, we got a lot of rave reviews such as, "It's agile, making tight turns smoothly and moves with just a light touch," which makes it suitable for crowded areas.

Adjusting and securing the belt is easy with not much effort required. However, a small drawback is that the seat sits a bit low, so you might find yourself bending a bit more when setting your child in or lifting them out. The storage basket underneath is on the smaller side, so large-sized bags might feel a bit snug.

With its nimbleness, it's a top pick for those often navigating crowded places like shopping malls.

From Israel, Doona introduces the Car Seat & Stroller, a unique combo designed to carry your newborns up to the age of around fifteen months. It's also a stroller that transforms into a child car seat, giving you a two-in-one travel system.

We had our testers review on how it rolls, and the feedback was pretty stellar, "It's nimble, making tight turns with just a light touch." But some mentioned it might get caught in uneven roads, making it less than ideal for routes with lots of bumps or uneven surfaces.

Since it doubles as a child seat, it doesn't fold down to that ultra-compact size some might be used to, which can be a bit of an inconvenience. Also, keep in mind, there's no built-in basket, so hauling around your bags might require some extra preparation. But if you're often on road trips and need a stroller mainly for those away-from-home adventures, this could be your trusty companion.
