Cheap Single Pushchairs
The Babyzen Yoyo stroller is a excellent choice if you're on a budget and do not need an extra stroller that can be used as a car seat carrier. It comes with a flip-flop-friendly one-step footbrake.
It's also easy to push and feels sturdy when navigating kerbs or woodland paths. It's also easy to fold.
1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned itself a reputation as the ultimate light-weight buggy for city dwellers and jet-setters alike, due to its extremely nimble handling and fold that fits in the overhead luggage of aeroplanes. The most recent version comes with independent suspension on all four wheels comprised of Hytrel elastomer. This allows it to perfectly navigate all terrains and types'.
The bent fabric bassinet, the base YOYO2 frame and 6months of colour pack are combined to create a chic pushchair with a subtle elegant design. The frame's weight alone is just under a kilo and is so light you can lift it directly from the box (and do so one-handed).
It's also easy to attach or remove attachments or adaptors such as the hood, for example, snaps onto the YOYO2 with reassuring clicks and is machine washable at 30deg to help deter stains from smushed rice cakes and half-dissolved carrot puffs. It can be used as a pram right 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
Evenflo Pivot Xplore stroller wagon is a great choice for parents looking for a stroller that is versatile. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore can be converted from a stroller into a wagon by simply flipping the handle. Parents can then select the best mode for their adventure. The wagon can be used by one or two kids from 6 months up to 5 years old, and it comes with a large storage basket for everything you require on the go.
The Xplore comes with two canopy options that rotate from front-to-back, providing adequate sun protection for all family members. It has a smaller footwell than other wagons. This may not be suitable for long journeys or napping.
The frame of the Xplore wagon feels solid and sturdy but it doesn't bend as much as some other wagons that we test. It is also more difficult to fold than some of the other models and it doesn't lock tightly when folded. It is easy to move, though, and it can fit through narrow 28-inch doors.
3. Delta Children LX Side by Side
This bare-bones double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents seeking a budget-friendly secondary travel stroller. It scored highly in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and folded dimensions. This means it's lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to lift and store in a trunk for your car. It also has a reclined seat that can be reclined in several positions as well as an integrated cup holder for the parent. Other features worth mentioning include two large hanging storage bags as well as 360-degree front wheels that absorb shock.
It did better in our push and turn test than most of the other strollers we tested but is still difficult to maneuver over uneven ground or through narrow doors. The sunshades it has are among the smallest we tested, offering only direct overhead coverage, and no windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have significantly larger sunshades.
The Delta took us just over three minutes to put together using an average manual and all of the components required tools. But, it's lacking some critical features that we believe you should not compromise on in a double stroller like a large basket and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.
4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1
The Zelia is Maxi-Cosi's newest pushchair, and is advertised as a travel system for urban use. It is designed to accommodate infants from birth until approximately 3.5 years old, and can be converted into a seat and carrycot in just only a few clicks. It can also be used with Maxi-Cosi capsule car seats and comes with the light Mico 30 infant car seat, a stay-incar base, and a reversible car.
The seat reclines with one hand, and the large shopping basket makes it simple for parents to help their child in and out. The narrow pushchair sailed through everyday bumps and doorways with ease.
The front wheels are able to be locked in a forward position and can also swivel. This is useful when navigating 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 on test.
5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2
Baby Jogger is famous for their 3-wheeler, all-terrain pushchairs for jogging, but they also offer a great selection of 4-wheel strollers. The City Tour 2 is one of their most sought-after models. It is easy to fold and can fit in the boot of a car even with an attached carrycot.
It's a bit heavier than the other strollers we tested but the wheels are rubber composite so it feels well-made and durable. It is able to maneuver effortlessly across all types of terrain and it's easy to carry, even when loaded with two children and shopping bags.
Both the seat and carrycot have hoods that are able to be lower to reveal UV50and sun canopy extension. They are water-resistant and durable unlike other prams' hoods that are bounced back into toddlers' faces.
It doesn't have a lot of storage space, however it does have a large basket that's big enough to hold a changing bag as well as plenty of groceries. It can also be connected with a Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a travel system for babies as big as 20 pounds (car seat and adapters sold separately). The City Tour 2 is a ideal choice for those looking to use a stroller on the go.
