![]() ![]() When you use a 13-pound stroller one day and an 18-pound stroller the next day, the difference is very noticeable. The Summer Infant 3D lite Convenience Stroller is one of the lightest strollers we tested at 13 pounds. And we compared them from a child’s perspective looking at things like seat comfort, ride smoothness, and accessories. We compared lightweight strollers based on parent priorities like ease-of-folding, maneuverability, usability, and quality. We selected twenty umbrella strollers and strollers 20 pounds or less to buy and run through an extensive set of laboratory tests as well as real-world use by parents and little ones. The handles are about 39 inches high depending on where you grip them, which isn’t high enough for taller parents It is fully upright, partially reclined, or fully reclined with no other intermediate positions. The width is adequate at 12.5 inches.Īgreed. The total seat depth from back to the front edge is 10 inches, but it starts bending down at 7 inches which gives it less depth than most strollers. We gave it 5 out of 10 stars for seat comfort. Scratches easily (particularly the black frame) Unstable at brisk walking pace (wheels shake)ġ5 out of the 20 lightweight strollers we tested had LESS shaky wheels than the 3Dlite. The footrest is made of thin rubber and bends with moderate pressure. Issues with the footrest (warps easily, not durable)Īgreed. In our tip-over testing, it tipped backward with a bag on the handle and was more likely to tip over sideways than most other strollers in the group. Tipping over easily (particularly when weight is on the back) ![]() The cup holder isn’t wide enough to get our coffee mug in it. The canopy is small, does not have a peekaboo window and the velcro holding it to the seat comes loose.Ĭup holder problems (flimsy, falls off easily, poorly made) The frame also lacks rigidity.Ĭanopy issues (lack of proper sun protection, no window, or poor connection to seat)Īgreed. Quite a few parts are weak or thin like the footrest, cup holder, and foam on the handles. It isn’t complicated to fold, but it takes us 4 seconds on average to fold and 6 seconds to unfold, which is more than the fold/unfold times of most strollers in this group. ![]() We haven’t had any wheel problems but they don’t last forever.ĭifficult or inconvenient folding mechanism The wheels are lightweight plastic and the tread is a thin layer of EVA foam. We’ve listed the most common complaints in order of the most frequent at the top and shared whether our experience supports or conflicts with the criticism. There is a great deal of praise for the 3D lite but also some complaints. ![]()
