Named the world’s smallest folded stroller in the Guinness Book of World Records, this ultra-compact ride is handy for urban families and avid travelers. It stands upright when folded so you can tuck it into a closet at home and find space for it in a restaurant. It even fits into an airplane overhead compartment. And at 9.5 pounds, you can cart it around wherever your travels take you. It’s meant for babies 6 months and older, so it doesn’t recline for newborns.
