A Brooklyn-based writer and editor, Chelsea's work has appeared in Matador Network, The Huffington Post, the TripAdvisor blog, and more. When not planning her next trip, you'll usually find her drinking way too much iced coffee (always iced—she’s from New England) or bingeing a Netflix original series.

Babyzen YOYO+

Checking your stroller at the gate can be a hassle—especially if you're otherwise traveling with carry-ons only. The Babyzen YOYO+ is a super-compact option that's fully compliant with airline carry-on restrictions, meaning you can stow it away in the overhead bin. Other pluses? It's compatible with select infant car seats and features easy one-hand steering.

GB Pockit

There's a Guinness World Record for everything these days, and as far as strollers go, the GB Pockit holds the title for the world's most compact. Despite the stroller's ultra-lightweight design—it's just 9.5 pounds—it doesn't skimp on features. The Pockit comes equipped with a height-adjustable safety harness, lockable front and rear wheels, and one-hand steering.

J is for Jeep Brand North Star Stroller

If your kids are almost at the point of outgrowing strollers, but you know you'll need one for at least a couple more trips, consider this inexpensive option. At $40, the North Star is a steal—especially since it comes with many of the same features as $300+ models, like an adjustable sun visor, three-point safety harness, padded seat (that can roll-up to form a headrest), and storage baskets.
