I’m using the Momcozy ClickGo, and honestly it ticks most of your boxes. Folds up pretty quickly , easy to handle on my own. It’s pretty stable even on small gravel roads.Super handy for travel or everyday strolls. Price-wise, it’s a solid bang for your buck
I’ve spent a lot of time helping my sister find the perfect travel stroller, and that slumped seat on the minu was her biggest frustration because her toddler just couldn't sit up comfortably when she tested it, so it was a no go for her.She ended up getting clickgo (momcozy )and she’s been obsessed with it as her car stroller because the seat goes much more upright, letting her little one actually see where they're going. And she also loved that it came with the snack tray and cup holder included so she didn't have to spend a fortune on extras.
I took my baby to Hawaii before, and bringing our big stroller was such a hassle , especially going up and down stairs or getting into restaurants. Later I got the Momcozy ClickGo, and it made things *so* much easier. It folds with one hand, fits in the trunk, and you can even take it on a plane. It’s also super steady on small gravel roads , you should give it a try!
We left our vista at home and took our bugaboo butterfly and our momcozy clickgo strollers. Both were easy to get onto the busses and easy to fold down in restaurants if necessary.
I really like our MomCozy ClickGo! It’s compact, easy to push, has a near flat recline for on the go naps, a comfy seat and comes with basic accessories including a snack tray, rain cover and bumper bar. It’s $350 I believe but we got it on sale through Walmart so watch for sales if you have time.
If you need it to be small enough to bring in the cabin, you’ll be more limited. Babyzen/Stokke YoYo, Bugaboo Butterfly, GB Pockit are a few that come to mind. You can google “cabin approved” strollers to get a completely list but be warned that’s totally subjective (there’s no single “cabin approved” size and most stroller manufacturers say this as a marketing thing).
I have successfully carried on my Babyzen YoYo twice on Air Canada and once on WestJet but it’s really up to the cabin crew to decide, so be prepared to gate check it even if it’s “cabin approved”.
The YoYo has a near flat recline and folds up very small but honestly might be too small for a 3 yo. If you are okay with gate checking, your options really open up! We have a MomCozy ClickGo which we really like and is pretty affordable. We got ours on sale for $299 I believe but they retail around $350.
I have an UppaBaby Vista and a MomCozy ClickGo. I like both for different reasons:
The Vista is a Cadillac. Big wheels, very smooth, handles the winter well, and I liked having the bassinet for a newborn. My baby did at least one - sometimes two - bassinet stroller naps every day when she was a newby and I loved being able to unclip tue bassinet from the stroller and bring it into the house or sit on the deck while she snoozed after our walk. I didn’t really use the car seat attachment very often but it was handy to have (we used a Clek Liing infant car seat so we used adaptors to connect the car seat to the stroller when needed). I also like how comfortable the rumble seat is with different reclines and forward or backward facing options. The basket is huge for taking all your stuff on day trips and it can expand to multiple double seat configurations if you end up having kids close in age. We bought ours as an open box deal, so it was a great deal. There are tons on Marketplace for around $1000!
What I don’t love about it is how huge it is for taking around. It will take up your entire trunk if you have a small SUV. It’s a great option if you can keep it at home and have the space to store it like a garage. The fabric is also not removable so washing it can be a pain.
We use our MomCozy ClickGo for short outings and travel because it folds down small and is very lightweight. It has a good amount of recline (near flat) for stroller naps, a decent basket, and the price is right for a travel stroller (we paid $300 on sale). We have the space to keep two strollers, but if space is an issue you may want to look at something that provides enough durability for your everyday walks while also being compact-ish to take places like the Ergobaby Metro.
We have a MomCozy ClickGo as our travel stroller and really like it! We’ve taken it on several trips (planes and road trips) and have used the one hand fold so many time. IMO that is a non-negotiable feature. It also stands upright while folded which is very handy.
We have an UppaBaby Vista as our home stroller and love it for our daily walks but having a smaller, lighter stroller to put it in the car for outings and travel is very practical. The Vista is awesome for full day trips to the zoo or something but not for the farmers market.
