Zoe Traveler

“Lightweight”, below median

Zoe's travel stroller weighs 13 lb and costs $279, less than 26 of the 38 compacts here. It folds one-handed and stands, but by Zoe's own measurements (18.5 x 21.5 x 9.5 inches) it is bigger than a 22 x 14 x 9 inch carry-on box. No car seat, and not before three months.

Weight: 13 lb; maker's figure
Folded size: 18.5 x 21.5 x 9.5 in; a 2.19 cu ft box
Handlebar height: 40 in (fixed); maker's range
