5. Graco 3D Lite Stroller
This stroller has a lot to offer a single-child model. It is quick to fold and an expandable basket that has cup holders for parents. It also features an adjustable child's tray that pivots and 5-point harness. Its downside is that it doesn't recline fully, so it's not an ideal choice for babies (use from 6 mo+).
This is the cheapest stroller we've reviewed. It's lightweight and features a high seat that gives your child a great view. It is not as durable as the more expensive models and can struggle on uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones. It has two front wheels that can be turned to the side when they encounter obstacles.
The 3D Lite comes with a small storage container that is able to hold a backpack diaper bag of medium size. It also comes with a peekaboo view on the canopy. Its sunshade is quite small and may be the smallest and does not extend to the back of your child's. It does have an open sun visor, though.
The seat comes with a 5-point harness that's padded and the frame comes with an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it when folded. It's not as compact as the TraveLite but it folds extremely quickly.
It comes with three recline settings however not all the way down (use for 6 months and up). The brakes on the 3D Lite are more rigid than the brakes of many competitors and require both sides are pressed to fully engage. Overall the quality of the 3D Lite is decent for its price. It's better than budget-friendly Kolcraft cloud plus however, it's not as great at some of the more costly rivals.
