cheap single stroller single push chair Pushchairs

If you're on a budget and don't want a stroller that doubles as a car seat carrier The Babyzen Yoyo is a good choice. It has a simple, one-step foot brake that's flip-flop comfortable.

It's easy to push and it feels solid when you are walking along woodland paths and kerbs. It's also a breeze 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 super nimble manoeuvrability and fold-down that fits into aeroplane overhead luggage. The latest version comes with independent suspension on all four wheels that is made of Hytrel elastomer that allows it to perfectly navigate all types of surface and terrain'.

The bent fabric bassinet, the base YOYO2 and the 6months of colour pack come together to create a stylish pushchair with a subtle, elegant aesthetic. The frame's base weight is less than a kilogram, and is so light that you can lift it from the box using just one hand.

It's also easy to attach or remove adaptors or attachments - the hood, for instance, snaps on to the YOYO2 with reassuring clicks and is machine washable at 30deg to prevent 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 to stroller at 6 months old by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.

2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore

The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a fantastic choice for parents looking for a stroller that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be converted from a stroller to a wagon just by flipping the handle, so parents can pick the mode they prefer for their journey. The wagon is able to accommodate two or three children ranging from 6 months to 5 years old. It has a large storage basket that can accommodate everything you need while on the go.

The Xplore also features dual canopies that move from front to back, providing ample sun protection for all family members. It also has a footwell that is not as deep or wide as other wagons, which means it may not be ideal for longer trips or napping.

The frame on the Xplore feels solid and sturdy however it doesn't have as much flexibility as other wagons we tried. It is also more difficult than other wagons to fold and it isn't able to lock securely after folding. It is easy to move however, and can fit through doors with a width of 28 inches.

3. Delta Children LX Side by Side

This Delta Children bare-bones travel stroller is a great option for parents seeking a second stroller that's priced reasonably. It scored well in our Strollers & Multiples Test for its weight and folded dimensions, which means it's lightweight and compact when folded and easy to carry and put in a trunk for your car. It also offers an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in several positions as well as a 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.

In our test of the push and turn, it did better than many of the other strollers that we tried, but it's not the most comfortable to maneuver on uneven terrain or through narrow doors. The sunshades on it were among the tiniest of strollers we tested. They only cover the top of the stroller and do not feature peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have larger sunshades.

The Delta took us just under 3 minutes to put together with an average manual and no components required tools. However, it's missing certain essential features we believe you should consider non-negotiable for a double stroller such as an extra-large basket, and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.

4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

The Zelia is Maxi-Cosi’s newest pushchair that is advertised as an urban travel system. It is designed to accommodate baby from birth up to around 3.5 years old, and can be converted into a seat and carrycot with a few clicks. It can also be used with Maxi Cosi capsule car seats and comes complete with the light Mico 30 infant car seat, stay-in-car base, and a reversible car.

It is really easy to manoeuvre and the one-hand reclining of the seat and the huge shopping basket make it easy for parents to get their child out and in quickly. The narrow pushchair sailed through all day bumps and doorways effortlessly.

The front wheels can be locked into an forward position or let them swivel which can be helpful when crossing rough terrain. While walking on the stony path, we let them move and it did this quite well although it did seem slightly bumpier than other models in our test.

5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2

Baby Jogger is most well-known for its 3-wheeled, all-terrain, jogging strollers. But they also make a broad range of 4-wheeler pushchairs. The City Tour 2 is one of their most loved models. It is easy to fold and fits easily in the car's boot even with an attached carrycot.

It's a little heavier than other strollers that we tried, but the wheels are a rubber composite, which makes it feel well-built and durable. It maneuvers expertly across different kinds of terrain, and it's easy to carry, even when loaded with two children and a shopping bag.

The carrycot and seat both have hoods with pull-down sun canopy extensions that are UV50+. They are durable and waterproof, unlike other hoods for prams that can be blown back onto toddlers faces.

It doesn't have a lot of storage space, but it does have a large basket that's deep enough for a changing bag and plenty of groceries. It can also be connected with a Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a traveling system for babies as big as 20 pounds (car seat and adapters are sold separately). The City Tour 2 is a excellent choice if you wish to take a stroller with you on the move.

6. Nuna Mixx Next

Nuna Mixx was a stroller that captured the hearts of a lot of parents when it first appeared. It's a stroller made of aluminum that can see you through your baby's early days and beyond. It comes with a variety of stand-out features including the ability to flip the seat from parent to world-facing, a large UPF 50+ canopy with an eye shade that flips out, a spacious basket and adjustable handlebar.

The wheels are durable and filled with foam, which reduces the risk of punctures and the chassis has built-in suspension that eases the pain of bumpy terrain. Our tester found it to be smooth to push and was able to manoeuvre it through narrow streets with ease.

It folds in just four steps and automatically locks without fuss. It can also be rolled and repositioned for easy transport down the stairs, or in the trunk of the car. It also comes ready with the option to include a car seat or carrycot using the adaptors that come with it. The brakes are easy to use, using a single buggy color coded and flip-flop-friendly.

7. Babyzen Duet

This budget single pushchair is surprisingly easy to maneuver and comes with an excellent dual suspension system, one-hand fold, and a handy carry strap. It's also extremely light and robust. The seat can be reclined to many different positions. It also has a double-breathable mattress built in that is suitable for infants.

The canopy/seat comes with two large sun visors, which can be either fixed or flipped out. Both are UPF50+. The toggle closure isn't ideal since it's not as silent as Velcro and could cause sleepy babies to wake up.

The Duet is a stroller that can be used side-by-side and can be configured to take twins or siblings (up to a maximum of 22kg per seat). It can be used with two infant car seats and some carrycots. In twin-mode, the seats can face each other or can be turned around to face the parents, theoretically cutting down on sibling fights over who should sit with mom and dad. It comes with a big gear tray as well as a bottle holder and snack tray. It also has a compact stand fold and automatic frame lock.

8. Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2

The Thule Urban Glide 2 is a jogger that's ideal for parents who want to keep active. It's among the lightest running strollers you can get for your child. It comes with amazing safety features, including a 5-point harness and safety wrist strap. It has a different type of hand brake than other models, which is a twist.

The seat is comfortable and has plenty of room to sit, but the depth of the seat is not as deep as other joggers we've tried (it's about 10"). The storage bin has a zippered cover to help keep items secure. It can hold up to 10lbs that is enough for most diaper bags.

The Urban Glide 2 isn't compatible with infant car seats or bassinets in the way it is, however you can use it right from the start by purchasing adapters to most seats from brands like BOB, Graco, Combi, Evenflo, Britax, and UPPAbaby. It folds down compactly and takes between 5 and 10 minutes to put together with no tools. The instruction manual is simple to understand and is available in multiple languages.
