This is another compact option for travel, but at 19 pounds it’s heavier than it looks. Nuna calls its stroller the “Small Wonder” because of its many features and compact folded size. It’s suitable from “the moment your baby enters the world” through toddlerhood. Other features include a fully reclining seat, one-touch brakes, and a three-position seatback with zipper adjustments. Pros. Our testers found the Nuna Pepp to be easy to fold and open, even though folding required two hands. It stands when folded. The fully reclining seat means the Pepp can be used from birth. Cons. Heavier than the other three, the Nano Pepp isn’t car-seat compatible as sold. You can buy an adapter for $50 that works with Nuna and some Maxi-Cosi and Cybex infant car seats. Testers found the handle to be hard and uncomfortable when pushing. The basket is small and narrow, with limited access. The restraint system’s buckle is somewhat tricky at first.
