Features

The egg2 was an excellent choice for us due to its compact fold lightweight weight and solid feel. It also has an adjustable recline mechanism, a large basket underneath the seat, and a the handbar is extremely comfortable. The only drawbacks are the slightly stiff leg rest and the limited storage space. The leg rest and basket could be used to carry a small bag however you'll need to remove the seat cushion to do so. The seat also doesn't have a large-sized pocket, which can be frustrating if you're juggling several bags and a screaming toddler.

If you're looking for a more economical single-handle, then check out the Qbit+ All by GB City. It's similar to the Nuna Trvl in many ways, including one-hand folding and an accessible leg rest. It does not have the same amount of undercarriage storage space as other models and its canopy is smaller.

During our testing, we were impressed by the GB Qbit+ All City's smooth ride on a variety of surfaces. It was a breeze to roll across paved sidewalks and shag carpet and also did well in our durability test. It also offers a variety of options for customization, including a bassinet for newborns as well as the rider board.

Other lightweight strollers worth mentioning are the GB Pockit, the UPPAbaby Minu and the Cybex Orfeo. The Cybex Orfeo is compatible with six car seat brands and comes with an all-hands-on-one-hand, self-standing fold. It is a little heavier than the other top models, but its front wheel could absorb bumps better.

It's compatible with numerous car seat brands and is one of the lightest strollers available.

It's difficult to maneuver. It has a narrow base and limited undercarriage storage space, which could hinder its use for longer trips or for errands. It's not the most smooth rider on most terrain and has a tendency to sway when bumps occur. The most recent version comes with more comfort in the seat and more padding, however, it's not as high-end as the original.

In general, we prefer single stroller cheap-handed strollers that have brakes that are easy to lock, and a large undercarriage that can be used for storage. We also recommend a padded harness and seat for comfort, a convenient cup holder for parents, and a foot brake that's easy to use.
