Strollers that Fold Easily for Babies on the Go
by Daphne Gil D'Agostino andToni Page Birdsong

Take it from two experienced mothers: these strollers fold conveniently for long-distance travel.

Does travel with your baby feel more like the invasion of Normandy than a trip to Grandma's?  Stroller models from Baby Trend and Kolcraft make travel easier with your boisterously bouncy bundle of joy.

When traveling with an infant, the Snap-N-Go LX Stroller by Baby Trend is a must. The Snap-N-Go turns your infant car seat into a stroller; it even has a storage basket for diapers and supplies. As the name implies, your car seat simply snaps securely into place and you're "Good to go!" When you're done, simply press the release to separate the car seat and the Snap-N-Go folds flat. It has all the convenience of an umbrella stroller, as well as being lightweight and sturdy, not to mention the added bonus of not having to arouse your sleeping beauty for transfer from car seat to stroller. The LX retails for $64.99 and holds your infant at carriage height. The Snap-N-Go is perfect for a flight across the ocean, a drive across the country, or walk across the street. For two babies, a Double Snap-N-Go is available. Call 800/328-7363 or check out www.babytrend.com for a list of retail dealers throughout the country. Daphne Gil Dagostino

As long as a stroller is lightweight, folds compactly, and can be handed off to a flight attendant without consulting a manual, it's probably a good bet for travel. We've chosen the good-value "Tour Sport Reclining Umbrella Stroller." Not only compact and lightweight, it's equipped with a reclining seat for sleepy kids and an adjustable canopy.
