The Greatest Journey Strollers for All Your Household Adventures (2024)

The Delta Kids Icon would not seem like a lot, however I discovered myself shortly impressed with all the things it supplied for such an excellent worth. The seat has good padding and really feel to it, and it has a stomach bar that you could simply seize when folded. The body is compact, however nonetheless tall sufficient for my taller kiddo. It comes with a cupholder, although it is a small measurement that I favor to make use of just for my toddler’s water bottle, and I typically knock it off the stroller body when sticking it into my trunk, which is annoying. At 15.6 kilos, it is a little bit heavier than a few of our different picks, however lighter than the above Bugaboo and nonetheless straightforward to hold. It is obtained a fantastic fold and may sit standing up, too. Plus, not like the Bugaboo, you’ll be able to carry this one with the stomach bar. The storage basket is simply sufficiently big for my backpack-style diaper bag.

Delta Kids says the stroller is TSA permitted to slot in overhead compartments, and the size of the stroller (10.9 x 16.5 x 23.6 inches) make it a little bit slimmer than the Bugaboo above, although nonetheless a little bit bigger than your commonplace carry-on measurement. You will need to examine your airline’s guidelines about strollers even with this small measurement, although. It would not have any toddler automotive seat adapters or compatibility, which is a bummer. The opposite bummer is that this stroller is brief—I am 5’4″ and if I put on tall footwear, I discover myself calmly bending to push this stroller.

15.6 kilos.

★ For taller mother and father: The Ergobaby Metro+ ($299) jogs my memory quite a lot of the Delta Kids Icon, but it surely has an adjustable handlebar, so it is a better option for taller mother and father. (It is uncommon to seek out an adjustable handlebar on journey strollers in any respect!) It is also automotive seat suitable, so it is higher if you wish to use it earlier, and the seat is a little bit bigger additionally so your child would possibly match into it longer than different reasonably priced strollers. Whereas it has a sturdier body than the Icon, it would not fold or unfold as simply because the Icon or my different picks, neither is it as straightforward to hold. However in case you’re actually tall, you could be blissful to cope with these points for a a lot simpler attain.
