we just used a cheap umbrella stroller from Walmart. I think it cost $10. It didn't have any storage room which was a bummer but it was light & easy to fold & carry. We also felt like it was so cheap we could just leave it if it got too annoying. Good luck

When I traveled I just used an umbrella stroller. That was the easest.

I have a stroller a little bit bigger than an umbrella stroller, but still very small and I put my daughters car seat right in the seat of the stroller(so make sure you bring the car seat into the strore where you buy it), and she would sit in the car seat inside the stroller--may not work if he's a mover and a shaker. This way we didn't have to carry the seat. This way you can have the seat on the plane. We did that for years.

We bought the Chicco Capri stroller. A friend of mine who travels a lot with her two kids told me about the Capri. Though it was a bit more expensive it was sturdy and very compact when folded. The seat reclines, shoulder straps are adjustable and padded, it has a decent size basket and folds/unfolds easily - it also has a sturdy closure and came with a travel bag. Our daughter is tall but still very comfortable in this stroller and because she is comfortable she will sit in it and nap in it.

Hello A.,

umbrella stroller is great for traveling. I also changed my diaper bag for a backpack -- (not too big but with enough pockes to have things handy and for it to fit in the bulk head or under the seat in front of me) Good luck! ~carmen~

An umberella stroller. They're only $19.99 and light weight. We used our umberella stroller more than the expensive one. Our son liked it better when he was little, because he could see everything.

We use a little $10 umbrella stroller from Babies R' Us when we travel, if we use one at all. It is cheap, light and durable.

HOWEVER...I don't take it with me anymore. If I need a stroller, I pay the $2 and just rent a luggage cart. It's so much easier than pushing a stroller WHILE carrying a backpack WHILE rolling a suitcase. Most of the carts have little basket seats up front (like shopping carts do) that a baby can sit in.

Good luck!!!! Traveling with a baby is ALWAYS an experience.

Babies R Us has a cute little fold-up stroller for $20. It comes in many colors.
