UPPAbaby Kona

Kona is UPPAbaby's newest full-feature single, cut down to 22 lb and a 13.4-inch-deep fold that works with the seat facing either way. It keeps the 30 lb basket rating of the Vista and takes UPPAbaby's infant seats directly, at $250 less than a Cruz.

Weight: 22 lb; maker's figure
Folded size: 13.4 x 21 x 25.8 in; a 4.20 cu ft box
Max child weight: 50 lb; in the seat

Best for: City walkers wanting a full-size seat in a smaller fold

What it does well

30 lb basket rating on a 22 lb stroller
Folds with one hand whichever way the seat faces
Lay-flat seat means no bassinet purchase for a newborn
UPPAbaby infant seats and bassinet attach with no adapters
Four recline positions, one of them fully upright for curious toddlers
$250 less than the Cruz V3

What it gives up

No second-seat or sibling option listed
UPPAbaby does not say whether it stands when folded
Too new for any long-term durability record
