The Mamazing Ultra Air Worth Buying? I Tried it While Traveling

There’s no such thing as the perfect travel stroller. Or at least, that’s what I kept telling myself after testing countless options, each one with some frustrating trade-off—too heavy, too flimsy, impossible to fold while holding a squirming toddler.

But after years of testing I’ve found one that’s really, really close. This stroller isn’t just good; it’s so thoughtfully designed that I almost couldn’t find any flaws (I still found a couple.) But when a stroller is this light, this sturdy, and this easy to use, those small imperfections start to feel like background noise.

TLDR; For the price and quality, this is a great travel stroller as long as carseat compatibility isn’t a requirement. Get it here.

We were provided this stroller as part of a social media campaign, however we were not asked to write this review nor were we compensated for doing so. This is my genuine opinion of the stroller, both good and bad:

It’s So Light!

At 11.5 pounds, this thing is lighter than my diaper bag on a good day. And yet, it’s sturdy because it’s made of carbon fiber, which is also the material found in the best hiking and backpacking gear as it provides an amazing amount of support for its weight.

Compare that to the 17 lbs Ergobaby MetroDeluxe and it’s a meaningful difference.

The beauty of a lightweight stroller is that you’re able to take it right onto the plane and stick it in the overhead bin, and not breaking your back every time you haul it in and out of a car, up a flight of stairs, or through an airport. I’ve tested a lot of strollers, and some of them feel like they were made out of iron pipes and regret. But the Mamazing Ultra Air? I can lift it with one hand. If you’ve ever tried to carry a stroller, a toddler, and a coffee at the same time, you know this is a feature worth its weight in gold.

Speaking of gold, this is a shockingly affordable stroller at $199, especially when you consider the pricing of the competition and all of the features.

One-Handed Fold: Because Life Requires Multitasking

We’ve come to the conclusion that a one-handed fold is a non-negotiable with travel strollers – especially when you’re flying solo with a baby or toddler. It’s not quite as compact as the Babyzen Yoyo, Joolz Aer, or Ergobaby Metro+, but it’s still small enough to fit in most overhead bins and definitely won’t consume your entire trunk.

I put the one-handed fold to the test, because let’s be honest, a lot of strollers say they have a one-handed fold but actually require a degree in mechanical engineering and an extra set of hands. Not this one. It collapses quickly, without needing a second hand to wrestle it into submission. When you’re hopping in and out of taxis or sprinting through an airport (because of course your gate is always the farthest one), this is exactly what you need.

A Nice Recline and Canopy

The 150-degree recline is dreamy. Not flat, but close enough for a nap. The included lap bar and leg rest? Such a nice touch – something you’d have to purchase separately with a Babyzen Yoyo or Joolz Aer. A reclining seat with proper leg support means your little one can stretch out, and the huge canopy means total sun blockage for that nap.

I’ve seen a lot of travel strollers with reclines that barely go back at all, or that have horrible canopies, these two things are non-negotiables in my book. I also appreciate that the seat is cushioned enough to be comfortable without adding unnecessary bulk.

The wheel lock is unique, with the lock and unlock mechanism on different wheels. It was easy to use, and would be very difficult to accidentally lock or unlock. The storage is small, but that’s the case on nearly every travel stroller I’ve tried. The biggest so far has been the Ergobaby Metro+.

Durability: Will It Last?

One of the biggest concerns with travel strollers is how well they hold up over time. Some start out great but begin to feel wobbly after a few months. I haven’t had this one long enough to say for sure (so far we’ve tested it on a 2-week Costa Rica trip), but based on the materials and build quality, it feels solid. The carbon fiber frame gives me confidence that it won’t turn into a rickety mess after a few flights and rough baggage handlers.

If you’re planning to use it as an everyday stroller, it should hold up well, though the plastic wheels might wear down faster than rubber ones. But for a dedicated travel stroller? I see no reason why this wouldn’t last for years.

Who Is This Stroller Best For?

If you’re looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use travel stroller that still offers comfort and convenience, this is a fantastic choice. It’s perfect for:

• Parents who fly often and need something light but sturdy.
• City dwellers who need a compact stroller for sidewalks and public transport.
• Anyone who wants a high-quality stroller without spending a fortune.

The only people who might want to look elsewhere are those who need compatibility with car seats or those who regularly stroll on rough terrain and need bigger, more durable wheels (we recommend the Bugaboo Dragonfly or Guava Roam).

Any Downsides?

The biggest downside for some parents will be incompatibility with car seats. The Mamazing isn’t designed for seat removal and easily clicking in with your infant seat. If this is important, the Babyzen Yoyo has an easy mechanism for switching.

The wheels are plastic, and they are the only thing that made me pause. Do they work? Yes. Do they look a little cheap compared to the rest of this high-end beauty? A little. But unless you’re expecting all-terrain beast mode from an ultra-light stroller, you’ll be just fine.

I took this stroller over gravel (not the best), uneven sidewalks (also okay), and airport terminals. The wheels held up, though they’re not buttery smooth like the air-filled ones you’ll find on bigger, heavier strollers. If you’re mostly using it for city walks, airports, and shopping trips, they’re totally fine. Just don’t expect to take it off-roading in the wilderness (and that unfortunately goes for all ultralight travel strollers).

Final Verdict: Almost Perfect

Aside from the slightly less compact fold and those plastic wheels, I genuinely have no complaints. It’s light, strong, comfy, and easy to use. The Mamazing Ultra Air lives up to its name, and considering how high my stroller standards have become, that’s a big deal.

So if you need a travel stroller that won’t break your back or your spirit, this one’s a solid win. Just don’t expect to take it off-roading.
