5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller
This single-child stroller offers plenty of features for the money. It has an expandable basket as well as an adult cup holder. It folds in a matter of seconds. It has an adjustable tray for the child, as well as the safety harness has five points. The downside is that it’s not able to recline fully, so it’s not the ideal option for infants (use beginning at 6 months or more).
This is the most affordable stroller we’ve reviewed. It’s lightweight and features an elevated seat that allows your child a great view. It’s not as durable as other models and can struggle on uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones. It has dual front wheels which can be shifted to the side when they encounter obstacles.
The 3D Lite has a small storage bin that is able to hold a moderate-sized backpack diaper bag and it has an open window in the canopy. The sunshade is small and may be the smallest and does not extend to the back of your child’s. It does, however, have a sun visor which is able to pop out.
The seat comes with a five-point harness that’s padded and the frame has an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it folded. It’s not quite as compact as the TraveLite however it folds quickly.
It has a three-position recline, but it doesn’t go all the way flat (use beginning at 6 months and up). The brakes on the 3D Lite are a little more rigid than the brakes of many competitors and require both sides be pressed in order to fully engage. Overall, 3D Lite’s performance is good for its price. It’s better than budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus however, it’s not as great as some of the more expensive competitors.
