Travel strollers
Mockingbird Travel Stroller
Our take
Comes with a travel bag, cup holder and car seat adapter, plus a newborn nest and a 20 lb basket. Small front wheels catch on cracks and the rear brake is loud.
17.7 lbAdapter includedNewborn nest
Consider instead: UPPAbaby Minu V3 for a smoother ride.

Cheaper optionGB Pockit Air Lightweight Stroller: About $200, scored 74 (Good).
