Top 5 Cheap Single Buggy Strollers
The best cheap single handle stroller buggy features a reclining seat as well as an ample basket. It can also move smoothly across a variety of terrains.
If you’re on a tight budget but would like the convenience of a double stroller, think about the phil&teds go(tm). This compact travel stroller can be folded down to a tiny size and can easily be tucked away in the back of your car or on an airplane.
1. GB Pockit
The GB Pockit is a compact stroller that folds down to the size and shape of a bag. It can also be placed in a luggage compartment or the overhead storage area on an plane. The stroller currently holds the Guinness World Record as the smallest folding stroller and can be used by children ranging from 6 months to 55 lbs although it’s not designed for babies (it doesn’t recline).
The foldable, lightweight stroller is just 11.8 inches in size and 7.1 inches x 20.3 inches. It can be easily tucked away in your car boot or purse. The front wheels swivel but can be locked straight to tackle tough mom terrain like playground pathways or mulch. The Pockit is a great stroller for parents who frequently travel but it’s not the ideal model for daily use because it doesn’t come with a cup holder or upper storage for the stroller. This flaw is addressed by the more expensive Gb Pockit+, which comes with the largest seat with more cushioning made of neoprene and a zippered pocket at the back of the seat.
I loved using this stroller when we traveled, as it’s small enough for stowing in the luggage compartment on trains or under the seat in the front of you on an airplane. It can fit into the overhead bin of an airline regardless of the size of the cabin. It’s also simple to navigate through busy malls and fits into tight turnstiles on subways or buses. The Pockit is a niche item but it’s an excellent option for parents and frequent travelers with small storage space. It’s available in Monument Black and weighs just 9.2 lbs.
2. gb Pockit+
The iconic, stripped-back stroller from the brand of parenting Goodbaby – which recently merged with Cybex it has been upgraded with front swivel wheels and is now travel system compatible. At a mere L20 x W32 x 38 cm, this stroller can fold into a small, compact package that can be put away wherever. It’s also airplane hand luggage compatible and ideal for parents who are busy in the city or frequent travelers.
The gb Pockit+ features a stepless recline feature that allows the seat’s positioning to be adjusted to your desired level, while still keeping the baby standing upright. Front wheel suspension enhances the comfort and usability for urban commuters with uneven pavements, while the sun canopy provides more UV protection.
It’s easy to maneuver in tight spaces, like the narrow aisles of supermarkets, trains, or in crowded city streets. However, it isn’t as efficient in rough terrain or navigating steep hills. The handlebar can be fragile, and the brake is located in the middle. This makes it difficult to reach. The footrest, which is short and has only two positions (up or down), is also a problem.
The 2018 GB Pockit+ comes with a number of new features, such as adapters for GB or Cybex baby car seats, as well as an expanded sun canopy. Despite these improvements, it remains one of the slimmest strollers that fold and weighs just 5.7 kg making it easy to carry, lift and maneuver. It’s also a 3-in-1 travel system ready: simply click on your Cot to Go or GB/Cybex car travel capsule using the adapters that come with it and you’ll be able to enjoy the ultimate baby convenience and freedom. Moreover the Pockit+ has been cleverly created to stand on its own when folded, and is perfect for storage in your favorite cafe, at the airport or at your home.
3. Le Clerc Influencer XL
This stroller is perfect for those looking for a stroller with XL characteristics. It offers a relaxing and comfortable ride for your child. Its large wheels allow it to travel over any terrain with any difficulty. It also comes with a backrest that can be adjusted into three different positions. This allows you to alter the position of your child’s back so they can sleep in a comfortable position.
It is also easy to navigate. It can be maneuvered through kerbs, and is extremely light. This makes it an ideal alternative for city life. It’s also simple and easy to fold or unfold in just one click! It’s also light and compact, so you can easily put it into your luggage when you travel.
The Leclerc Influencer XL stroller is available in black and comes with an unbeatable gift worth PS25 (see the end of this article for more details). It is suitable for children aged 6 months to 5 or even as young as the carrycot. The car seat adapters that come with it allow you to use it with a child car seat.
Leclerc’s newest Influencer stroller is designed for modern parents who are looking for stylish, practical and durable stroller. Its sleek design, modern folding mechanism and high-end materials show that it was designed with a lot of love. Its light weight and 8.2 kg size make it a great choice for those who live in urban areas and require a compact, light stroller that can be easily integrated into their daily life.
It features an innovative folding mechanism that lets you fold the stroller down in only 1.5 minutes. It comes with larger wheels, a more robust frame and can still fit into the aircraft compartment. The unique seating mechanism makes your child comfortable during long journeys and you can even choose to add a bassinet in order to transform it into a pram for your little one from birth.
4. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
Evenflo sells this versatile wagon due to its ability to switch between push and pull with a flip of the handle. The all-terrain wheels allow for exploration of a variety of terrains, and it can be used to carry 2 or 1 child up to 5 years old in either the wagon or stroller mode. It has a kid tray and adjustable handle. Dual canopies provide added sun protection. A large basket can hold essentials for use on the go.
It’s slightly heavier than the other wagons we have tested, but it feels solid and smooth to drive. The handle is relatively easy to adjust and it comes with a double-action brake that helps stop the wagon from accidentally rolling away. It does not have the suspension that the GB Pockit+ and the Veer Cruiser has, which makes it less comfortable to ride in for infants.
The seats are padded but not ventilated, and they do not recline. The footwell is not very large or deep, so it may be a challenge for children to get into and out of the car. It is fairly easy to clean up, however there are some spots where crumbs tend to build up.
It’s priced similar to the Veer Expedition, but it outperforms that model in several categories such as the ability to steer and maneuverability. It also has an insert for a bassinet that can be used with infant car seats. It is therefore the best option for twins, compared to the single-seat Xplore. It does not support two infant car seats at the same time, which could limit its utility for a time. It is covered by a limited warranty.
5. Britax B Lively
The Britax B-Lively stroller is a light and compact stroller that comes with a large storage basket and a comfortable ride. It is designed to fit children up to 55 lbs and features a deep recline to allow napping. It is easy to fold and unfold and has a simple lock that keeps it shut. The handlebar is adjustable and can accommodate taller or shorter individuals, which is a nice feature for families with many children of different heights. It does not come with the cup holder or snack tray, but there’s an enclosed pouch that zips up on the back to store keys and other small items.
It’s one of the quietest strollers we’ve test. It’s ideal for children who are asleep, or parents who do not wish to deal with a lot of stroller noise. It is simple to maneuver and comes with an expansive ventilated umbrella with an open window so you can keep an eye on your kids. It comes in a variety of color options and can transform into a travel system using the Click and Go with any Britax infant car seat.
The Britax B-Lively is quite agile for a stroller that is umbrella-friendly, even on tough terrain such as grass and gravel. However, it doesn’t excel on hills with slopes and is prone to slipping on uneven surfaces. It comes with adapters for use with Britax car seats, but the manual for users is ambiguous on which seats work with it and the manufacturer’s website does not offer any details. This is a good choice for families with the Britax car seat but it’s not the best single stroller choice for those looking to purchase an easy-to-use stroller that can be used with other brands’ car seats.
