This Delta Children bare-bones travel stroller is a great option for parents who are looking for a second stroller that is affordable. It scored highly in our Strollers & Multiples Test for its weight and folded dimensions, meaning it is lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to lift and store in a trunk for your car. It also features a reclined seat that can be reclined in several positions as well as a cup holder for the parent. Other important features include 360-degree shock absorbing front wheels, as well as two large hanging storage bags.
In our test of push and turn, it did better than the majority of other cheap strollers we tried, but it's not the most maneuverable on uneven terrain or through narrow doors. The sunshades it has are among the ones we tested the smallest, providing only direct overhead coverage and no windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have much larger canopy sizes.
It took us less than three minutes to put together the Delta using a standard manual. The parts are all non-required and required tools. It is missing certain features we consider essential for double strollers. This includes an extra-large basket, reclining seats, and leg rests that can be adjusted.
