Cheap Single Pushchairs

The Babyzen Yoyo stroller is a great option if you're on a budget and don't need an extra single convertible stroller that can be used as a car seat carrier. It has a flip-flop friendly one-step footbrake.

It's easy to push, and it feels solid when you are walking along woodland paths and kerbs. Plus, it's a dream to fold.

1. Babyzen YOYO2

The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned a name as the ultimate light-weight buggy for city dwellers and jet-setters alike, thanks to its extremely nimble handling and fold-down that fits into the overhead luggage of an aeroplane. The latest version has independent suspension on all four wheels constructed of Hytrel elastomer, allowing it to perfectly traverse all types and terrains'.

The YOYO2 frame base along with the curved fabric bassinet and the 6+ month color pack form a stylish pushchair that is easy to look at and has a subtle but elegant design and a tasteful branding. The base frame weighs less than a kilogram and is so lightweight that you can lift it from the box with just one hand.

It's also easy to attach or remove attachments or adaptors - the hood, for example, snaps onto the YOYO2 with reassuring clicks and is machine washable to help deter staining from rice cakes smushed and half-dissolved carrot puffs. It can be used as a pram starting from birth using the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted to stroller at 6 months by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.

2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore

Evenflo Pivot Xplore stroller wagon is a great option for parents seeking a versatile stroller. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore can be converted from a stroller into the wagon by turning the handle. Parents can then choose which mode is best single travel stroller for their journey. The wagon can be used by one or two children from 6 months old to 5 years, and it has a wide storage basket for all of your on-the-go needs.

The Xplore also features dual canopies that rotate from front to back, providing ample sun coverage for all family members. It has a smaller footprint than other wagons. This may not be suitable for long journeys or napping.

The frame on the Xplore feels sturdy and solid, although it does not have the same flex as some of the other wagons we tried. It is also more difficult to fold than some of the competitors and does not close tightly when folded. It is easy to move, however, and it can fit through narrow doors of 28 inches.

3. Delta Children LX Side by Side

This basic double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents seeking an affordable, second-hand travel stroller. It scored well in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and fold dimensions, meaning it is lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to carry and put in a trunk for your car. It also features a reclined seat that can be reclined in several positions as well as an integrated cup holder for the parent. Other features of note include 360-degree shock-absorbing front wheels and two large hanging storage bags.

In our test of push and turn it performed better than many of the other cheap strollers we test, but it's not the most comfortable to maneuver on uneven terrain or through doorways that are narrow. The sunshades it has are among the most compact we tested, with only a direct overhead coverage and no windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a much larger canopy.

The Delta took us just under 3 minutes to put together with an average manual and all of the components required tools. It is missing some features that we consider essential for a double stroller. This includes an extra-large basket, reclining seats, and leg rests that can be adjusted.

4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

The Zelia is the most recent version of Maxi-Cosi's pushchair range and is described as an urban travel system. It is designed to accommodate babies from birth to around 3.5 years old, easily changing into a seat and carrycot with only a few clicks. It can be used with Maxi Cosi capsule car seats. It comes with a light Mico 30 single infant stroller seat, a stay-in-car-base and reversible carriage.

The seat can be reclined using one hand, and the big shopping basket makes it simple for parents to get their child in and out. The narrow pushchair sailed through every day bumps and doors easily.

The front wheels are able to be locked in a forward direction or swivel. This is useful in rough terrain. On our walk on the stony path, we let them move and it handled this fairly well, although it seemed more bumpy than the other models in our test.

5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2,

Baby Jogger is famous for their all-terrain, 3-wheeler pushchairs for jogging, but they also offer a great selection of 4-wheel strollers. The City Tour 2 is one of their most loved models. It folds easily and fits in the boot of a car even with an attached carrycot.

It is heavier than the other strollers we've tried, but because it has composite wheels made of rubber it feels solid and well-constructed. It's a breeze to maneuver across all kinds of terrain, and it's easy to move, even when loaded with two children and shopping bags.

Both the seat and carrycot have hoods that can be lowered to reveal a UV50and sun canopy extensions. They are waterproof and strong unlike other prams' hoods that are whipped back into toddlers' faces.

It doesn't have a lot of storage space but it has a large basket deep enough to hold a change bag or plenty of food. You can also connect it with the Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a traveling system for babies as big as 20 lb (car seat and adapters sold separately). The City Tour 2 is a good choice if you want to take a stroller on the go.

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 which can be used from the infant's earliest days through. It is a standout model with many unique features, such as the capacity of the seat to be turned between parent and world facing and a huge UPF50+ canopy, a flip-out eyeshade, and an adjustable handlebar.

The chassis has a built-in suspension system which reduces the impact of bumpy terrain. The wheels are made from tough foam and minimise punctures. Our tester found it to be smooth to push and was able to maneuver it through tight streets with ease.

It folds down in four easy steps, and locks automatically with no fuss. It can also be folded and raised for easier transportation down the stairs or in the trunk of the car. The travel system is included with the option to add an additional car seat or carrycot by using the adaptors that are included. The brakes have a single fold pushchair action and are color coded. They also work with flip-flops.

7. Babyzen Duet

This budget single stroller pushchair is surprisingly easy to handle and features excellent dual suspension, a one-hand fold and a practical carry strap. It's also very light and robust. The seat can be reclined into a variety of different positions. It also comes with a double breathable mattress 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 the best as it’s not as quiet as Velcro and could awaken napping babies.

The Duet is a side-byside stroller and can be set up to accommodate twins or other siblings (up to 22kg max per seat). It can be used with two infant car seats and some carrycots. In twin mode the seats can be positioned so that they face each one. They can also be oriented towards the parents. This will help reduce sibling arguments over who gets seated with mom and dad. It has a huge gear tray, bottle holder snack tray, and the ability to change mats. It also has an automated frame lock as well as a compact fold.

8. Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2

The Thule Urban Glide 2 is a jogger designed for parents who want to keep active. It is one of the lightest strollers that you can purchase for your child. It also comes with great safety features, including the 5-point safety harness and wrist safety straps. It also has a twist hand brake which is different than the lever type found on competing models.

The seat is comfortable and offers a large area to sit, but the seat's depth is lower than other joggers we've tried (it's approximately 10"). The storage bin is covered with a zipper that keeps things safe. It can hold up to 10 pounds., which is sufficient for most diaper bags.

The Urban Glide 2 doesn't come with adapters to fit most bassinets and infant car seats however, you can use them from the first day with adapters that fit brands such as BOB, Graco Combi Evenflo Britax UPPAbaby. It folds compactly and takes between 5 and 10 minutes to assemble with no tools. The manual is simple to comprehend and contains multiple languages.
