Cheap Single Pushchairs
The Babyzen Yoyo stroller is a good option if you are on a budget and don’t need a stroller which can also be used as car seat carriers. 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. It’s also a breeze to fold.
1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned its reputation as the most stroller that is light, ideal for city dwellers as jet-setters. This is thanks to its nimble maneuverability and fold-down design that can be incorporated into the overhead baggage of an aircraft. The most recent version comes with independent suspension on all 4 wheels constructed of Hytrel elastomer. This allows it to effortlessly traverse all terrains and types’.
The curved fabric bassinet, base YOYO2 and the 6months of colour pack are combined to create a chic pushchair that has a soft, elegant aesthetic. The base frame weighs less than a kilo, and is so lightweight that you can lift it from the box with just one hand.
The hood, for instance, snaps on the YOYO2 with a reassuring manner. It’s also machine washable at 30 degrees which helps prevent the stains that result from smushed rice cakes and carrot puffs. It can be used as a pram starting from birth with 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 who are looking for a versatile stroller. The Evenflo Pivot can be converted from a stroller to an actual wagon by flipping the handle. Parents can then select the best mode for their needs. The wagon is able to accommodate two or more children between 6 months to 5 years old. It has a large storage basket that will hold all your necessities while on the go.
The Xplore has dual canopies which can rotate from front to back, offering adequate sun protection for the entire family. It also has a footwell that’s not as deep or large as some wagons, so it might not be comfortable for long trips or napping.
The frame on the Xplore is solid and sturdy but it doesn’t have as much flexibility as other wagons we tried. It is also more difficult than other wagons to fold, and does not lock tightly after folding. It is easy to move however, and it can be able to fit through narrow 28-inch doors.
3. Delta Children LX Side by Side
This basic double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents who want an affordable, second-hand travel stroller. It scored well in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and fold dimensions, which means it’s lightweight and compact when folded and easy to move and store in a trunk for your car. It also offers an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in several positions as well as an adult cup holder. Other features worth mentioning include two large hanging storage bags as well as 360-degree shock-absorbing front wheels.
In our test of push and turn, it did better than many of the other Cheap Single Pushchair strollers we test, but it’s not the easiest to maneuver over uneven ground or through narrow doors. The sunshades it has were among the smallest strollers we test. They only cover the top and do not feature peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have significantly larger canopies.
The Delta took us just under 3 minutes to put together with an average manual and all of the components required tools. However, it’s missing some essential features that we think you should consider non-negotiable for a double stroller like a large basket and reclining seats that have adjustable leg rests.
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 between a seat and a carrycot in just only a few clicks. It is compatible with Maxi Cosi capsule car seats. It comes with a light Mico 30 infant seat, a stay-in-car-base and a reversible baby carriage.
The seat reclines with one hand and the large shopping basket makes it simple for parents to take their child in and out. Despite being a narrow pushchair it handled the everyday bumps with ease and went through doorways without any fuss.
The front wheels can be locked into an forward position or allow them to rotate which can be helpful when crossing rough terrain. We allowed the front wheels to rotate while walking along the stony path. It handled the situation well, although it seemed a little bumpier.
5. Baby Jogger City Tour 2
Baby Jogger is known for their 3-wheeler, all-terrain Jogging pushchairs, however they also offer a great assortment of strollers with four wheels. The City Tour 2 is one of their most loved models. It is easy to fold and fits easily into the trunk of a car even with a carrycot attached.
It’s a bit heavier than other strollers we test, but the wheels are rubber composite, so it feels sturdy and durable. It is able to maneuver effortlessly across all kinds of terrain, and it’s also a breeze to lift, even when loaded with two children and shopping bags.
The carrycot and seat both come with hoods with pull-down UV50+ sun canopy extensions. They are durable and waterproof, in contrast to other prams hoods which can be blown back into toddlers faces.
It’s not a lot of storage space, however it does come with a huge basket that’s big enough to hold an infant’s changing bag and plenty of food items. It can also be linked with the Baby Jogger infant car seat to create a travel system for infants up to 20 lb (car seat and adapters sold separately). The City Tour 2 is a excellent choice if you wish to use a stroller on the move.

The seat can be reclined in various positions. It also is equipped with a double breathable mattress that’s suitable from birth.
The canopy/seat comes with two large fixed or flip-out sun visors and both are UPF50+. However the toggle closure isn’t perfect because it’s not as quiet as Velcro and can wake sleepy babies.
