Strollers Sold as Lightweight, Weighed Against the Catalog

"Lightweight" has no definition, so this list measures it. Of 38 single strollers sold as lightweight, 2 weigh more than the 22.38 lb median single in the catalog: Thule Glide 3, Thule Urban Glide 3. The lightest is the Graco GoMax Frame at 8.7 lb.

How this list is ordered: Included when the maker calls the stroller lightweight (in its name, category or copy) and publishes a weight. Ordered by weight. The yardstick is the 22.38 lb median of every single stroller here with a published weight. 38 of the catalog’s strollers qualify. 2 of them are named in a CPSC recall — Joolz Aer², Stokke YOYO³ — which covers only some units or parts; the model’s page says which. They stay in the list, marked, because the specification that put them here is still true.
