Joolz

4.7
(82)
"Joolz Aer+ has everything on your list! It’s very light, lays back pretty far, available in Canada, and the travel bag is included. I’m very happy with mine it’s survived 12 flights in a year, and it’s our backup/quick trip stroller (we also have a vista). Highly recommend!"
·
"I love my Joolz Aer+, but I also use it as my primary stroller. It gets a lot of use. If you want something less expensive, look into the Mountain Buggy Nano."
·
"Seconding the Joolz Aer Plus."
·
"We love our Joolz Aer+. It's very similar to the butterfly. Both are discounted on goodbuygear."
·
"We are obsessed with our Joolz Aer+. ... We loved Nuna TRVL ... but it is not one-handed close like the Aer+."
·
"Joolz aer is the best pram ever I love it."
·
"I have the Joolz Aer and I love it, I use it as my every day pram."

Babyzen

(78)
"Yep! Yoyo is the answer! Got it before a Europe trip and it’s so great. A couple trips ago I forgot it at home and spent the first afternoon buying a used one on fb marketplace. My baby, now toddler, has always napped great in it and it’s light enough I could haul stroller and baby up and down stairs solo."
·
"Stokke Yoyo. It does very well on cobblestone (also checks off your other requirements) and you’ll likely see many when you’re over there!"
·
"Have the Cruz and love it!! We got the Babyzen Yoyo and it’s the best in terms of portability."
·
"I love my Yoyo Zen So compact"
·
"I loved my Yo Yo."
·
"I love it, as it’s super handy to fly with and on public transportation."
·
"We had the Yoyo as our main pram (living in two different cities) and would 100% recommend it."
·
"I second the yo-yo, living in Manchester and really great for nipping about and taking on the tram. Every other buggy feels so heavy to me!"
·
"We have the Yoyo for going into the city and travelling and the Bugaboo Donkey 5 for going around the neighbourhood and parks."
·
"We have the yoyo2 and used the newborn attachment till 6 months the one that folds without disconnecting which was much easier for traveling."

Bugaboo

"We have the butterfly and yes an investment but if you do travel a lot so so worth it. The fold is great, especially when traveling in your own with kiddo, wheels and suspension are fantastic as well."
·
"Butterfly is also on Goodbuygear. Well worth it, the other travel strollers I've seen has really tiny storage, I could see using the butterfly as a primary stroller."
·
"I love the bugaboo butterfly. It has the one second fold, made of great fabric, 5 point harness, *almost* a flat recline, and fits in the overhead compartment of both domestic and international flight aircrafts."
·
"I know it’s not an option you’ve listed ha but we have the Bugaboo Butterfly for travel and we absolutely love it."

"Uppababy Minu. Used it as an everyday and have travelled with it A LOT ... still works well."

·
"For portability, Uppababy has a travel stroller meant for airports. We use it as an everyday stroller. It has a strap so you can sling it over a shoulder if needed and when it's folded up it stands by itself!!!"
·
"We love the Uppababy Minu and brought the travel bag for it, which is essentially an insurance policy for it."
·
"Another vote for the Minu! We have the V2, and it's great."
