3. Doona Stroller

The Doona is the only car seat for infants that also can be used as a stroller, which makes it the best travel pushchair if your want to carry a separate car seat and stroller. It has received excellent safety ratings from Stifting Warentest and ADAC. It also received five stars for its ease of use. The Doona is also rated for travel with infants, and is certified to meet the stringent US and EU standards.

The two layers of impact-absorbing plastic as well as additional layers of EPS, foam, and other materials provide enhanced side-impact protection for your child in the event of an accident. The handle functions as a powerful anti-rebound bar that absorbs the forces of an accident and stops your child from spinning and sustaining serious injuries.

You can remove the wheels of the Doona by lifting a lever on the back of the seat. The result is a slight jolt, which doesn't awaken your baby. To put the wheels back into the car, just need to lift the lever, and the process is seamless.

4. Trvl Stroller

The Nuna Trvl Stroller is the ideal companion for any trip whether it's a simple weekend getaway, a long-distance travel, or just a quick city excursion. The lightweight stroller is a powerful tool that offers premium comfort for your child as well as convenience for you, such as the super compact self-fold which redefines what it means to be ready.

Its movable front and rear wheel suspensions are perfect for navigating bumpy terrain, and the adjustable calf support raises to convert the seat into a carriage position so that your child can comfortably enjoy the ride.

The Trvl has a large, easy-to-access basket that can accommodate a variety of items (it can accommodate a diaper bag and small backpack!). The legs of the stroller are longer to give it more stability. It can also be rolled over all surfaces well. However, it has one minor issue that is the fold is a bit difficult. It is easy to lose the ring and handle in the event of a mishap. This isn't a major issue, but something to consider if you're going to be using this stroller for trips.

5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller

This stroller has plenty to offer a single-child model. It comes with an expandable basket and a cup holder for parents. It can be folded in just a few seconds. It has an adjustable tray for the child and a 5-point safety harness. The downside is that it can't recline fully, so it's not an ideal choice for newborns (use starting at 6 months and up).

It's the most affordable in this review. It is lightweight and has a high-back seat which allows your child to enjoy the view. It's not as durable as other models and may struggle on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones. It also has two front wheels that can be moved to the left if they encounter obstacles.

The 3D Lite has a small storage bin that is able to hold a moderate-sized backpack diaper bag and it has an open window in the canopy. Its sunshade is quite small and might be the smallest of the bunch and does not extend beyond the back of your child. It does, Sale Prams however, have a sun visor that is able to pop out.

There's a cushioned 5-point harness on the seat, and the frame has an adjustable shoulder strap that allows you to carry it when folded. It's not quite as compact as the TraveLite but it folds easily.

It comes with three recline positions however, not all the way down (use after 6 months or more). The brakes on the 3D Lite are more robust than the ones on most competitors and require that both sides be pressed to fully engage. Overall the quality of the 3D Lite is decent for its price. It's better than the budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus but not as impressive at some of the more expensive competitors.
