The best lightweight strollers feature a lightweight, easy fold and self-standing mechanism to lessen the burden on parents' bodies. Many strollers come with multiple seating configurations and some can even accommodate car seats for infants.
Kolcraft Cloud Plus
Created for families on the go. Lightweight with a convenient one-hand compact fold. The all-terrain wheels and front suspension, as well as the multi-position reclining seat, can be used for children up 50 pounds. Parent and child trays, large storage basket and three-tier canopy with the ability to peek through the window for maximum sun protection.
The Cloud received one of the lowest scores on our quality tests due to a flimsy feel, hard plastic seats and a design that feels old-fashioned. It's also more expensive than other strollers with a lighter weight. This is a bad choice for those looking for a budget option.
It's not the tiniest stroller, but it comes with enough features that it is worth a look. Its swiveling front wheels make it easy to move on flat surfaces, and it can jump curbs with ease unlike many other light strollers that drift off course when trying to accomplish the similar thing. The low handle of the Cloud is a disadvantage, however; it's nearly at knee level and isn't adjustable. It's not easy to push it while your legs hang in that way. The lack of padding makes it even more difficult.
In our tests and testing, we found the Cloud to be easy to set up and open. To close it, it's a bit more difficult. You must slide the slider, and then press the large white button. This can be a hassle if you are juggling children while doing it.
The Cloud has a small, but deep storage basket that will fit a medium diaper bag. The basket is narrow and you may have to store something inside to reach the back. The Cloud comes with an adult tray and a child tray each with two cup holders. Both are too narrow for larger bottles or cups.

The stroller is lightweight enough to to move through door frames. This was a major issue with other strollers we tried.
