The best cheap single buggy has a reclining seat and a reasonably sized basket. It is also able to move smoothly across all types of terrain.
The phil&teds Go(tm) is a great option for those on a limited budget but still want the convenience of double strollers. This lightweight travel buggy is compact and easily fits into the back of an airplane or a car.
1. GB Pockit
The GB Pockit is a compact stroller that can be folded down to the size and shape of a bag. It can also be placed in a luggage compartment, or an overhead storage space on an aircraft. The stroller currently holds the Guinness World Record as the smallst folding stroller that can be used by children ranging from 6 months to 55 lbs, though it's not intended for infants (it has no recline).
It's super lightweight and compact, measuring just 11.8 in dimensions. It measures 7.1 in and 20.3 in when folded, making it easy to carry around and can easily be placed in your purse or car boot. The front wheels rotate, but can be locked straight to tackle tough mom terrain like playground mulch or gravel paths. The Pockit is an excellent stroller for parents who frequently travel but it's not the ideal model for daily use because it doesn't have a cup holder or upper stroller storage. The Gb Pockit+ is a more expensive stroller which offers a more spacious seat with more cushioning made of neoprene, and a zippered back pocket.
This stroller was the perfect companion for our travels. It's small enough to fit inside the compartment for luggage on trains or under the seat in front of you in an airplane, or in the overhead bin of an airline, regardless of the size of the cabin. It's also easy to maneuver around the crowded shopping areas and slide easily through narrow turnstiles on subways or busses. The Pockit is a unique product however it's a great choice for parents or frequent travelers with limited storage space. It's available in Monument Black and weighs just 9.2 pounds.
Pockit+ 2. Gb
The stripped-back, iconic pushchair single from parenting brand Goodbaby which recently joined forces with Cybex it has been upgraded with front swivel wheels and is now travel system compatible. At a mere L20 x W32 x 38 cm the stroller folds into an ultra-compact package and put away anywhere. It's also airline hand luggage compliant and perfect for parents who are busy in the city or frequent travellers.
The gb Pockit+ features a stepless recline feature that allows the seat's position to be adjusted to your preferred level while keeping baby standing upright. The front wheel suspension gives greater comfort and ease of use for urban commuters who travel on uneven roads. The large sun canopy also offers increased UV protection.
It's easy to maneuver in tight spaces, like narrow aisles of supermarkets, train carriageways, or even crowded city streets. However, it isn't as efficient when it comes to rough terrain or navigating steep hills. The handlebar is a little flimsy and the brake is slap bang in the middle of the bar, so it can be difficult to reach. The footrest is also short and only has two options - up or down.
The 2018 GB Pockit+ comes with a few upgraded features including adapters for the GB or Cybex infant car seats as well as an expanded sun canopy. It's still one of the tiniest folding strollers on the market, weighing only 5.7 kg which makes it easy to carry, lift and maneuver. It's also a 3-in-1 travel system that is ready to go: just click on your Cot to Go or GB/Cybex car travel capsule with the adapters included and experience the ultimate in newborn convenience and freedom. Moreover, the Pockit+ has been cleverly created to stand on its own when folded. It is perfect for storage at your favorite café at the airport, at home.
3. Le Clerc Influencer XL
This stroller is perfect for those looking for a stroller with XL characteristics. It offers a relaxing and comfortable stroll for your child. The large wheels allow it to navigate any terrain. It has a backrest that can be adjusted to three different positions. This allows you to alter the position of your child's back so they can sleep in a comfortable position.
Another advantage is that this stroller is simple to operate. It is light and easily maneuvered over kerbs. This makes it a great option for city living. It's also simple and quick to fold or unfold in just one click! This makes it super compact and light and allows you to easily fit it into your bag when travelling.
The Leclerc Influencer XL stroller is available in black and comes with an unbeatable gift worth PS25 (see end of article for details). It's suitable for children from 6 months to 5 years or starting at birth if you choose to add the carrycot. The included car seat adapters permit you to use it with a child's car seat.
Leclerc's newest Influencer stroller is designed for modern parents who are seeking an elegant, functional and sturdy stroller. Its sleek design and sophisticated folding mechanism shows that it was designed with true passion. Its light weight and 8.2 kg weight make it a great choice for those who live in urban areas and require a compact, light stroller that fits into their routine.
The stroller can fold in only 1.5 seconds due to its unique folding mechanism. It comes with larger wheels, a higher frame and still fits into the aircraft compartment. The unique seating mechanism keeps your child comfy on long flights and you can even choose to add a bassinet in order to transform it into a pram for your little one at the age of birth.
4. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
Evenflo offers this wagon due to its ability to switch between pull and push by flipping the handle. Its all-terrain wheels enable the exploration of different terrains and it can be used to carry 1 or 2 kids up to 5 years old in either a stroller or wagon mode. It also offers a kid tray, a handle that can be adjusted and two canopy options for additional sun protection and an extra-large storage basket to hold on-the-go essentials.
It's a bit heavier than the other wagons we have tested however it is solid and easy to drive. The handle is relatively easy to adjust and it comes with a double-action brake that helps prevent the wagon from accidentally moving away. It doesn't have the suspension of the GB Pockit+ or the Veer Cruiser which makes it less comfortable for children to ride in.
The seats aren't air-conditioned and they don't recline. There is a footwell however it is not very wide or deep so kids might find it difficult to move into and out of the seat. It is fairly easy to clean but there are a few places where crumbs may get accumulated.
It's priced similar to the Veer Expedition but outperforms it in many categories, such as maneuverability and steering, folding and stowing capabilities, part and material quality, as well as child comfort. It includes a bassinet that can be used to accommodate infant car seats. It is therefore an ideal choice for twins, compared to the single hand fold stroller-seat Xplore. It is not able to allow two car seats to be used by infants simultaneously and could limit its use for a little while. It does come with a limited warranty.
5. Britax B Lively
The Britax B-Lively stroller is a light and compact stroller that comes with an ample basket for storage and an easy ride. It is designed to fit children up to 55 lbs and features a deep recline to allow napping. It is easy for you to fold and open it. There is an locking mechanism which keeps the chair shut. The handlebar is adjustable and can be adjusted to accommodate taller or shorter people this is a wonderful feature for families that have many children with different heights. The handlebar does not include a cup holder or snack tray, but there is a small single stroller zippered pouch in the back for keys and other items.
This is among the quietest strollers we test, which is perfect for kids who are asleep or parents who don't want to deal with annoying stroller noise. It is maneuverable and has a it has a large, air-conditioned canopy with a peek-aboo view to watch your kids. It comes in a range of colors and can be transformed into a travel set-up using the Click and Go feature with any Britax infant seat.
The Britax B Lively is extremely agile, even in tough terrain like gravel and grass. It struggles with uneven surfaces and steep hills. It comes with adapters to use with Britax car seats, but the user manual is unclear on which seats work with it and the website of the manufacturer does not provide any information. This is a great option for families that already have a Britax car seat but it's not the best choice for those looking to buy a lightweight stroller that can be used with other brands' car seats.
