Full-size strollers have tons of impressive features for kids and adults alike, but those bells and whistles come with a drawback: They’re heavy, bulky, and not so travel-friendly. Umbrella strollers are much lighter and easier to pack — and many people swear by them for family getaways.

With spring break around the corner, we scoured Amazon’s Baby Store for under-the-radar discounts on travel strollers from Graco, Chicco, and more brands. The best part? They all weigh less than 15 pounds and fold down into compact shapes for easy carrying (and off-season storage). Keep reading to see the top stroller deals we found from just $34.

Dream on Me Aero Travel Umbrella Stroller

~~$40~~ $34 at Amazon

This lightweight stroller has a three-point harness system, adjustable sun shade, and rip-resistant fabric. It also has a one-handed folding mechanism, a convenient feature if you need to close it while holding your little one. The stroller weighs just 7.4 pounds, making it one of the lightest options we found. Plus, it folds into a slender shape to fit easily inside car trunks or closets.

One grandpa called it the “perfect travel companion” and a “real lifesaver for short trips, running errands, or visits to the park” with his granddaughter.

Suggested Ages: 6 to 36 months | Weight Limit: 33 pounds

Summer Infant 3DLite Convenience Stroller

$72 at Amazon

We spotted this compact stroller, which has a four-position reclining seat with a padded harness system to keep kids comfortable and secure. There’s also plenty of onboard storage, including a mesh basket that fits diaper bags and baby blankets, as well as a hidden storage compartment and cup holder. Plus, it has anti-shock front wheels for smooth rides (and steering) across bumpy ground.

One shopper, who brought the stroller on a trip to Washington D.C., wrote that it was “small enough to get through TSA without a hassle” and “light enough to haul onto the Metro.”

Suggested Ages: 6 months and up | Weight Limit: 50 pounds

More than 15,100 shoppers gave this compact stroller a perfect rating, and we can see why. It has a cushioned full-size seat as well as a deep canopy for maximum sun protection. There’s also a storage pouch (between its handles) with two beverage pockets. One shopper called it a “great stroller” for their Disney trip and said that its wheels “handled moderate, unpaved paths surprisingly well.”
