The stroller is compact when folded and is able to stand on its own for easy carry, transport, and storage. That means it won’t take up all the space in your hotel room. The front-wheel swivels or can be locked into place for easy travel. The seat easily reclines for when your little one needs to take a little break from the excitement.
