As holiday travel season gets underway, traveling with children can be hectic, especially if you’re on the jetway struggling with a stroller.

When picking out the right travel stroller you should consider size, the recline, storage space, folding ease and overall weight.

With that in mind, here are three strollers that are parent-approved for easy travel:

Kolcraft Cloud Plus $80

The Kolcraft is super light at 11.8 pounds and makes pushing on smooth surfaces easier. It has a nice size storage space below the seat, and the seat reclines about a third of the way back.

On the other hand, it’s not that east to push on gravel and the folding the chair can be a little tricky. Some users said you need more than one person to fold the stroller.

Colugo Compact Stroller $295

Weighing in at 15.3 pounds, the Colugo offers a smooth push on all surfaces except gravel. The zip canopy is a hit feature for this stroller.

Uppababy G-link 2 $350

The Uppababy G-link 2 is double stroller that has a great push on all surfaces, including gravel, and weighs in at 21.8 pounds. Both of the seats recline and are equipped with double padding. The easy to fasten buckles, canopy and storage system are unique and reliable.

A downside to the stroller is that unfolding can be challenging and may require more than one hand. Although there is storage underneath, it’s not as big as some would like.

Nuna TRVL Stroller $450

Don’t let the price scare you. The Nuna TRVL Stroller is THE go-to for parents with a little one to tote around. Weighing in at just 15.4 pounds, the Nuna TRVL stroller has a seat reclines al the way down and has a nice cushion for foot support. The push is smooth on all surfaces and the stroller has a more comfortable magnetic clasp than its competitors.

A few cons about this stroller: Although travel is in the name, it’s not well suited for the overhead bin, and the folding and unfolding process takes time to learn.
