Graco Ready2Jet Compact Travel Stroller

In this graco ready2jet compact travel stroller review, the Graco Ready2Jet is the best budget pick among the seven lightweight travel strollers we compared. It ranks fifth of seven in our 2026 guide, where it carries the best budget pick label at $151.99. The stroller weighs 13.2 pounds and holds a child up to 50 pounds. With 847 Amazon ratings and a 4.5 star average, it is also one of the most reviewed options here. In practice, this is the stroller for parents who already own a Graco SnugRide infant car seat and want a compact second stroller for travel.

Day to day, the automatic fold is the feature that matters most. You press one button and the Graco Ready2Jet collapses itself into a package under 43.5 by 12.0 by 8.0 inches, which is small enough for most overhead bins, though Graco advises checking with your airline first. The folded frame stands on its own, so you can park it in a restaurant or on a bus without leaning it against anything. On top of that, the 13.2 pound weight means most parents can lift it with one hand while holding a baby in the other. All-wheel suspension, rubber tires and a multi-position recline keep the ride smooth, and the harness converts from 5-point to 3-point as your child grows. For example, the adjustable calf support helps shorter toddlers sit comfortably.

At $151.99, the Graco Ready2Jet undercuts every other stroller in the guide, which makes it the clear value winner for car seat users. Meanwhile, several rivals fold smaller or weigh less, and the 1 year limited warranty is far shorter than the 10 year coverage Joolz offers. That said, no other model here accepts Graco SnugRide infant car seats, so this is the only stroller in the guide that works from day one with a Graco car seat. Even so, the 4.5 star average from 847 ratings suggests owners accept those trade-offs. If your budget is tight and you already own a Graco infant car seat, this is the one to get.
