1. Contours Itsy

The Contours Itsy is a compact stroller that has a variety of features for its size. The back basket under the seat is spring loaded, so you can pull it down to store a diaper bag or backpack into and it will then pop up to protect the contents. It also has a tray for accessories for children as well as an adjustable backrest pad for the seat, which are more options than you normally find on a lightweight stroller.

It also has a canopy that can be shut and opened to get the sun protection level you desire. The handlebars are height-adjustable to ensure a comfortable fit in four different positions. However, we weren't impressed with the ride quality on rough surfaces. We felt that the suspension and wheels did not do a very good job of absorbing shocks and bumps.

It's a perfect stroller for traveling since it arrives in a box that is fully assembled, and requires only a few steps to get it set to use. The seat can be pushed back and forward to adjust the recline. It's pretty flat. Two buttons on the frame make it simple to fold and unfold. It can be tucked away in a very convenient carrying bag when not in use. It's actually one of the most compact strollers we tested and it easily fulfills the requirements of most airlines for gate-checking or cabin storage, on airplanes. Make sure you consult with your airline prior to you travel because rules can differ.

This model is not suitable for those who need an extra stroller or a car-seat compatible model. It isn't compatible with infant car seats. Your baby should be able to sit upright on their backs before you can use it.

The handlebar is shorter than average and the front wheel suspension is a bit stiffer, but it is still suitable for adults.
