In-depth review

What it's like to own

The Sparrow folds forward into a 15 × 14 × 6.25 in package with a zip carry bag — small enough for a backpack-size space and most overhead bins. At 12.8 lb it's among the lightest strollers we cover, and it needs no assembly.

It's for toddlers who sit upright unassisted, up to 55 lb and 41 in. The seat doesn't recline, the basket is small and the wheels are tiny, so it's a travel tool rather than a daily stroller.

Parents of several kids call it the most portable stroller they've owned; a few report the wheels not always folding in cleanly.

Pros

  • Smallest fold here
  • 12.8 lb
  • Kids to 55 lb
  • No assembly

Cons

  • No recline
  • Not for babies under ~6 months
  • Small wheels and basket

4.5★ from 792 ratings (88% four or five stars). Families praise the tiny fold for flights; the main complaints are no recline and sticky wheels when folding.

Wishes she'd bought it before two earlier flights instead of a cheap umbrella stroller.

— Semra Ergun, Amazon.com

5.0Jul 27, 2024

Mother of three; folds small with a bag and worked well for her two-year-old on a flight.

— Lacey M., Amazon.com

4.0Jul 10, 2023

Folds really small, but the wheels sometimes don't tuck in correctly.
