![]() The Minu’s seat is 18 inches tall by 12½ inches wide, which is a half inch to 1 inch greater in both dimensions than the Yoyo+ and Nano’s seats, and its 50-pound weight limit (which corresponds to an average 7-year-old) is the highest as well-the Yoyo+ and Nano go up to 40 and 44 pounds, respectively, though a few other strollers we tested go up to 55 pounds. The Minu is the only travel stroller we tested that was rated the favorite by all who tested it. Plus, it has the ability to accommodate a child from birth to toddlerhood, with the highest weight capacity of our picks. The Minu has the most spacious, accessible underseat storage and also twice the weight limit of the baskets on the other models we tested. Its wheels are larger than those of our other picks, giving it the best handling when rolling over unpredictable terrain, and it feels the sturdiest of the models we looked at. ![]() The Minu has one of the easiest one-handed folds, collapsing down to the size of two school backpacks side by side, and can be carried with a padded shoulder strap or by the front crossbar. The 14.8-pound Uppababy Minu, released in early 2018, packs nearly all of the features of the Uppababy Cruz (currently unavailable), our full-size stroller upgrade pick, into a body that is 7 pounds lighter and 40 percent smaller, which makes it a great option for travel or for a streamlined everyday stroller. We also found that single handlebars are preferable to two separate handles (as many umbrella strollers have) because they make it easier to push one-handed. ![]() Almost none of the travel strollers we found come with adjustable handlebars, which may make them uncomfortable and inconvenient for shorter or taller people to use. Our experts told us that suspension and quality ball bearings also help a stroller feel effortless to push and turn. ![]() The best-performing travel models have wheels of about 4½ to 7 inches in diameter. Travel strollers generally have smaller wheels than those of full-size strollers, making them more challenging to push over bumpy sidewalks and carpeted areas. Research from our previous stroller guides showed that wheel size, wheelbase (the dimensions between the wheels), overall stroller dimensions, and handlebar height all contribute to how well a model performs. Easy to push and maneuver: Many parents I spoke to said that their biggest mistake in purchasing a second, more lightweight stroller was not prioritizing maneuverability and ease of pushing, which made wheeling their kids around less pleasant for everyone involved. ![]()
