Check out the Mountain Buggy Urban Nano (not the regular nano) It’s lie flat, one handed fold, comes with small travel wheels and big ‘off road’ wheels. With the travel wheels it fits into the overhead locker of a plane. You can also get a bassinet that snaps in place if you prefer that to the main lie flat part. We love ours! I think it’s 7kg?

We have a Mountain Buggy Urban Style for the big pram, three wheels, jogging. And then a Mountain Buggy Nano for flying, city/public transport trips, etc.

We have the mountain biggy nano. Massive win was that it lays flat whereas not all the ones on your list so i believe. Weve got the MB Nano Urban specifically for the bigger wheels at destination. Loved it and worth every cent

Mountain Buggy Urban Nano. Full recline, wider than the skip, still overhead locker compatible. Great interchangeable wheels if youre in rough terrain (that make it jot feel like a travel pram). Look for it in a package with its accessories and its v affordable. I would give up my cruz for a second one if it wouldnt mortally offend my mother who bought the cruz for us as a gift.

I poured over strollers for weeks before our trip (even created a spreadsheet off of a US based on specifically for Aus strollers) and we went with the Mountain Buggy Urban Nano because it specifically - lies flat so great for our 5MO - has great airflow as the back panel is two layered, inside layer is mesh so when lying flat we could peel back the outer layer either halfway or fully to allow for crossflow- this was great for her because it was also her first time facing out so we could see her when she was sleeping and the airflow was great. - has interchangeable wheels so we changed out the travel wheels for larger wheels when we got to our destination (we gatechecked for inter europe flights and just left the bigger wheels on, case fits with the big wheels on) which meant cobblestones, curbs and even offroad on grass and unsealed pathways was easy as Its also super light for carrying up and down stairs, fits within most airline size requirements (with travel wheels) and has one handed close. Its about $50 more than the Resbaby Skip but that includes the accessory pack which has a UV Blackout cover, Rain cover and Mozzie cover and fleece footmuff The downside was the open is technically two handed because the safety latch is on the same side of the frame as the security button for the open. So you need to release both with both hands (or im uncoordinated).

I have had three different ones over three kids. The first was a Greco that came with the car seat. It was what I called a mall walker. Not great for outdoor and really bad in the snow. Was a pain to fold. Don’t recommend. The second was a mountain buggy urban. We are at least the third family to use this stroller and it holds up! The wheels pump up (rubber over plastic) so it’s smoother. I can push and unfold with one hand (but it takes two hands to fold it up). It’s good in the snow. It’s technically for one kid but my four year old sits on the foot rest and rides just fine. The basket size is not great. Overall I do recommend this one or a similar three wheel jogger type. The last was a city select stroller. We got it as a double stroller that could we could seats and/or the baby bucket. The basket size was okay and it did okay in the snow. It was also narrow enough to go through most stores and all doorways without crashing. It was a pain to fold and you had to remove the seats to store in the trunk. I didn’t love this stroller but it was functional and did what I needed.

Just a word of caution on how long you’re expecting to be able to use the car seat - most kids meet the height limit (30 inches for Keyfit, 32 inches for Keyfit 35) before the weight limit. So my 2.5 year old outgrew his Keyfit 35 in height around 1 year old but would still fit either of them by weight. He’s also 85th percentile for height and 30th for weight, so your child may be different, but it’s important to know the full extent of the limits because I feel like they aren’t as clear on the height limits and I wanted to make sure you had the information you need to keep your kid safe! Also, we loved our Keyfit system, and still use our Bravo stroller although we’ve upgraded to a Graco convertible car seat that should last him as long as he needs a car seat. We’ll be using our Keyfit 35 again with our second child in the fall, so it’s total about $200/child for our family, and still far more affordable than a brand like Uppababy. And I agree, unless you’re taking lots of long walks, a bassinet attachment isn’t worth it - it’s true that they shouldn’t spend more than 2 hours at a time in a car seat and they shouldn’t be in a car seat all the time, but a 30 minute walk in the car seat in a stroller is totally fine. For our family (suburban, 2 cars, lots of travel), the better value was a Chicco Keyfit 35 system with 2 bases, a Bravo stroller, and a separate travel stroller (Mountain Buggy Nano) that lays flat and stows in the overhead compartment. We still use the travel stroller and the big Bravo stroller, but we would have had to stop using a bassinet attachment over 2 years ago and we would have still needed an airline-compatible travel stroller. All in, I don’t remember what our car seats and strollers cost 3 years ago, but now they’d be $1350, and we’re still using $900 worth of that with our first kid. In contrast, the Uppababy Cruz V2 is $900 without the $280 bassinet or $300 car seat with $200 extra base, and it’s too heavy for gate checking with some airlines, so we’d still need a travel stroller in addition (and the Vista is even pricier and heavier). I have a friend who is going that route, but she lives in a walkable city with transit options and one car, so her lifestyle is different and it may make more sense for her. OP and his wife need to discuss their lifestyle, expectations, and goals to figure out what’s best for them. Oh, and check reviews of different seats - you might be surprised by what’s offered by different brands at different price ranges. Uppababy doesn’t generally fare as well as you might expect given the price tag.

We had 2 strollers with one kid (Chicco Bravo and a Mountain Buggy Nano for travel - the Mountain Buggy was a great investment for us) and now with a second kid we’ve added a 3rd stroller (second-hand Chicco Bravo for 2).

Check the airline’s rules because some will only gate check either a car seat or a stroller (American) and some limit the weight of the stroller (Delta for sure, not certain about others). So whatever you opt for, make sure it meets recommendations. We have a mountain buggy nano for travel, which fits in most overhead compartments and lays fully flat. Our son is now 2 and still fits comfortably, and it’s more reasonably priced than some travel strollers (I think about $250? Not sure about current pricing). You can also strap car seats to it, though I wouldn’t use it that way primarily because it’s not from the car seat manufacturer and may not have the car seat sitting at the correct recline. But it could be useful that way with an infant seat in the airport for a limited amount of time.

We have a Mountain Buggy Nano. It fits in (most US) overhead compartments, has a full recline, has storage underneath, has a good sunshade (though it doesn’t move as much as our full-size stroller’s would) and is reasonably sturdy for something so small. Cons are that the seat isn’t super padded, but that doesn’t seem to bother our 2 year old, and it’s harder to fold than our Chicco Bravo (it took us a few tries to get good at it, and it’s not 1-hand by definition). But we really like it and have flown with it and taken it on long car trips with limited luggage room with no problems. It’s gotten a lot of miles in different places and done well.

It was definitely a lesser-known option but I liked some of the features that aren’t on other travel strollers (the flat recline and good sunshade are hard to find) and that it wasn’t a $500+ investment. It’s still not cheap, but some of the prices on strollers are more than I’m willing to pay for convenience, especially when it’s just a second stroller.

We have a Mountain Buggy Nano and love it. We’ve only had to gate check it on a little puddle jumper where all roller bags had to be gate checked, and it has storage underneath and a nice canopy, and it lays completely flat. Lightweight enough that I recently took it on a train solo with our toddler at 7 months pregnant, lifted it to the overhead compartment, and carried it up stairs at the station, no problem. We’ve had it for 2 years now and the only problem we’ve had is that we overloaded the storage with water bottles and didn’t notice it dragging, and it got a small tear in the storage underneath that I was able to repair easily. It has a lot of miles on it by plane, train, and automobile, and we love it.

We have a Mountain Buggy Nano. It lays flat, has storage, and has a full size canopy. It also folds to overhead bin size and is pretty lightweight. We’ve had ours for 3 years and it’s done flights, hills, and Disney, and our 3 year old still uses it some.

I think it really depends on how much you plan to travel. If you aren’t a family that flies often/travels a lot, it’s probably not worth spending more than the cost of a cheap umbrella stroller (though you could definitely check out Facebook marketplace for a deal). If you do travel often, then a travel stroller could make sense, especially if you plan to have more than 1 kid overall. We fly at least once a year and do a lot of driving trips with somewhat limited cargo space, so we got a Mountain Buggy Nano. It was like $250, but it lays completely flat, which is great for naps, has a decent sunshade, and folds to overhead compartment size. We’ve been using it for over 2 years and it’s in great shape, our 2 year old still loves his “little stroller” as much as his “big stroller”. Our regular stroller is a Chicco Bravo, and is over the gate check weight limit for some airlines, which was part of our decision to get a travel stroller (so check with the airline you’re flying - some of them are pretty restrictive, like American will only let you gate check either a car seat or a stroller and there’s a weight limit).

I got the Uppababy Cruz 2 for my first (with the hope we’d have a second with a ~2 year gap) - I didn’t like the the double configuration for the Vista (with bassinet at the bottom) and liked the smaller profile of the Cruz. Figured we’d reassess the pram situation if/when the next baby came along. Second baby is now 5 months old, and we got a piggyback board a few weeks ago which has been working great when taking both kids out by myself (though less successful if dad is with us, as our 2.5 year old then wants to be carried 🙃). We also have a Mountain Buggy travel stroller dad has been using for almost 2 years, and still uses when taking our older one out on his own, so at this stage we’re not looking at a double.

First kid, we bought the Cosco travel car seat which fit perfectly in the Mountain Buggy travel stroller. Used it for years. And now have the Nuna Trvl which is a traditional travel stroller that allows the Nuna car seat to lock into it. Clutch !
