The GB Pockit + lightweight stroller for toddler comes in a unique and cute design. The Pockit is one of the lightest and most compact strollers in my list weighting only 9.5 lbs. The GB can be used with an adapter to create a travel system, which is always a bonus in my book.

This feature means that this is one of the few lightweight strollers you can use from birth. It has a super durable UPF 50+ fun canopy which is perfect for those hot sunny summers and keeping your little one covered. When they get bigger, the backrest can be adjusted to give them better viewing.

The GB features a 2 step folding which is so simple you can go from pushing your little one to carrying the stroller in a matter of second. What I love most is that even once it’s folded up, it still stands on its own. The GB is so compact and easy to carry when it’s folded that you can fit it in an overhead bin. The GB Pockit is also easy to maneuver with just one hand.

The five-point harness is easily adjustable to keep your little one safe as they grow.

Disadvantages:

The GB lightweight stroller is a durable high-grade material, but it’s not very durable. The wheels are pretty small, so it is not ideal for anything but flat pavement, but that can be said of most lightweight strollers. As long as you stick to flat surfaces you should be able to run smoothly.

The Zoe stroller is a great everyday stroller. The Zoe design makes it easy to maneuver, and it’s easy to fold up for travel.

I love the storage pocket underneath for all the things that you have to carry when you are traveling with your little ones like bottles, cups, and snacks. The lightweight material is durable and easy to clean.

This lightweight reclining stroller looks like a stroller you’re likely to get many comments. The storage basket underneath holds a good deal of stuff as well.

This Zoe stroller also comes in a double model that is still lightweight if you are traveling with two little ones.

The seat has three recline positions, and its five-point harness can be adjusted as your child’s needs change.

The Zoe also lightweight stroller also offer adjustable footrest to give your child even more comfortable for long trips. The canopy is adjustable and has a peek a boo window for you to check in on your little one during the ride.

Disadvantages:

Though the Zoe is easy to fold it is not very small, so if you have a compact car, it might be a tight fit. I also wouldn’t recommend this in any overhead bins for planes or trains. Also, the reclining seat for the child is not that great, so using it will be a bit cumbersome.

The Chicco C6 is another lightweight framed stroller coming in at only 11 lb. This stroller comes with a carry bag with straps that make it even easier to travel.

It’s perfect, so you don’t have to carry a separate container and struggle to fit it in. I love the multi-position seating that the safe and comfortable for your little one. I know my son always likes to be up so he can see what’s going on at all time.

Also, the fabric is easy to clean because we all know how dirty kids can be. It features a five-point harness padded for the safety of your little one — also all-wheel suspension for a smoother ride.

Disadvantages:

The Chicco lightweight stroller is made out of a cheaper material so it’s definitely not as durable as I would like. Being made out of aluminum, I feel like it should be more durable, but it just can stand up to much use. Also if your a taller parent this stroller handles are a bit low.

I know some people don’t like a bright stroller, but I have to say my favorite part of the Recaro Easylife stroller is the lime green details. This light stroller is definitely a showstopper. It maneuvers and handles really well with just one hand.

I love that I can put the brake on with 1 foot no matter what shoes I’m wearing. It can be especially helpful at the airport when you have to stop often. The eight wheels on this roller definitely give it a smooth ride. This lightweight stroller for toddler recommended for children six months and older.

The Easylife lightweight stroller features a one-handed folding system that makes taking it with you anywhere so easy.

Disadvantages:

The storage basket on this model is not very big, so there’s no carrying very much. I didn’t have many problems with this stroller. I loved it so much.

The Baby Trend Rocket has an excellent handle and the best parent organizer I’ve seen so far with two cup large cup holders.

It also has cup holder pockets inside for your little one. I also like the large canopy that is easily adjusted and the storage basket to carry extra stuff. This lightweight stroller holds a child up to 50 lbs.

It also has dual foot brakes for comfortable and safe. The Baby Trend Rocket also features padded handles for your comfort. Of course, this stroller also has a five-point harness for safety and a seat that reclines to give your child extra comfort.

Disadvantages:

This Baby Trend Rocket folds up well; however, it doesn’t stand up on its own. Also, a shorter lightweight stroller for toddler so if your taller this may not be for you. Also, the handlebars are more like an umbrella stroller with separate sides. This can be super uncomfortable, unlike the single handlebar feature.

The Maclaren quest is an impressive looking lightweight stroller, but it is also sporty too. It’s one of the only few that can be used from newborn all the way to 55lbs. It also has a newborn safety system.

The Maclaren Quest lightweight stroller has dual wheel back brakes. What is most eye-catching is the oversized expandable hood/sun visor. You can drive this stroller in the rain, and your baby would not get wet.

Depending on where you live or where you travel this could be very useful. A unique feature you don’t often see in a lightweight stroller is adjustable, and extendable leg rests. The seat has four recline positions which are more than most lightweight strollers.

One feature I do like is the rain cover that is included.

Disadvantages:

The design is eye-catching, but it’s not very practical. This five-point harness is not user-friendly. The manufacturer boasts that all parts of the stroller are, but I can’t really imagine that this is a useful feature. It makes me question the quality of parts if I have to get them replaced, to begin with.

The manufacturer makes this seem like a huge plus, but when your in a foreign country and your kid leaves a wheel in your hotel cause they are detachable, then what? Also when you fold this stroller, it doesn’t just stand on its own. This lightweight stroller is closer to being an umbrella stroller because of the handlebars.

The Chicco Liteway stroller has a four-position backrest that is easy to adjust for your growing child. The canopy is adjustable and removable and features a peek a boo window.

The Chicco Liteway also has an excellent built-in handle that you use to carry it around after it been folded up. It has the umbrella split handlebars that have a comfortable grip. It also has a storage latch that is automatic. Adjustable leg rest give your little one an extra comfy ride.

This lightweight single stroller features a toe tap rear brakes for a safe stop. Lightweight strollers like the Chicco are made with the best materials. The Liteway is no different, engineered out of sleek aluminum for a lightweight but durable.

Disadvantages:

The canopy is awkward. The entire stroller is detachable in some way. It is bizarre and does not make for a stable stroller at all. Also, I do not particularly appreciate that a front wheel swivel is an option you can install.

Specifications:

• “Baby weight range: 40 lbs”

This lightweight stroller for toddler is so cute and has a few smart features that impressed me. The curb pop feature makes it easy for you to get up and down those sidewalks without tipping over the stroller and your baby.

The Nano is travel system ready which is always a plus in my book. The Nano has a 2 step process to fold with the press of a button. It is old 13 lbs and comes with a satchel that makes taking it on busses planes and trains so convenient. It folds up to the size of a backpack. The foot brake is conveniently placed and easy to activate when needed.

It has the basic five-point harness and seat recline for child’s comfort and safety.

Disadvantages:

The Mountain Buggy Nano strollers has wheels that are tiny even for a lightweight stroller. The folding is a bit difficult and takes some practice and cannot be done while holding a baby or wrangling a toddler. You have to fold the canopy back and then fold the remaining part in half. You need two hands to pull this off.
