In 2026, travel systems remain a game-changer for newborns to toddlers (up to 50 lbs). They save time by clicking the car seat directly onto the stroller frame—no extra adapters needed for compatible models like the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 Lounge (sold separately). Key factors we evaluate:

See detailed reviews: Chicco Bravo here or Thule Glide. The Booklet wins on fold and storage but lags in lightness.
The standout feature is the one-hand fold—it compacts to self-stand upright, perfect for small apartments or car trunks. In our tests, it took under 10 seconds, earning a 9.5/10. Unfolding is equally snappy. However, at 27.8 lbs, lifting it up stairs scored fair (6/10). Folded, it's 33 inches tall, fitting most sedans.
With a 24-inch width and fixed front wheel, it handles sidewalks well but struggles in crowded stores (6/10 push ease). Braking is responsive (8/10), and the adjustable handlebar (37-42 inches) suits parents 5'4" to 6'2". Air-filled rear tires absorb bumps decently.
Five recline positions with footrest make it toddler-friendly up to 50 lbs. The reversible seat faces parent or forward. Large canopy (UPF 50+) blocks 95% UV, and the basket holds 15 lbs of groceries. One-hand recline is smooth.
Pros:
Cons:
This travel system clicks seamlessly with the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 Lounge (9.8 lbs, 4-35 lb limit). Securing takes seconds (8/10 ease). Crash protection is good in rear-facing tests, with fair LATCH install. For full details, see our Peg-Perego Primo Viaggio Urban Mobility review.

Best For: Urban parents prioritizing fold and storage over lightness. Great for newborns to 3-year-olds in walkable cities.
