Pros

• The fold is impressively tight
• Maneuvers well in crowded, narrow grocery aisles

Cons

• The seat depth is extremely shallow, so taller toddlers constantly slide forward

Our Verdict: Munchkin Night Owl

The Munchkin Night Owl scored 73 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every umbrella stroller on, and took Best Umbrella Stroller for Narrow Aisles in our umbrella stroller guide.

Narrow aisles suit it. It maneuvered well through crowded grocery rows, and the fold is impressively tight, which earned a 9 for transport.

The seat is the weak point: it's so shallow that taller toddlers keep sliding forward.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ease of use

Eight, joint second in this guide. The maker lists no assembly and a travel case, and the notes record no complaint about the fold or the harness.

Maneuverability

Seven: joint third of the 10 strollers. It maneuvers well in crowded, narrow grocery aisles, which is where umbrella strollers are used most.

Transport & storing

Nine: joint second of the 10 strollers. The fold is impressively tight. The maker says it is small enough to fit most overhead airplane bins, and lists 12.8 lb and a folded size of 15 × 14 × 6.25 inches.

Build quality

Seven: joint third of the 10 strollers. The notes record no build complaint, and nothing that puts it above mid-table.

Kid comfort

Six, joint fourth of 10. The seat depth is extremely shallow, so taller toddlers constantly slide forward.

Should You Buy the Munchkin Night Owl?

Buy it for smaller toddlers and tight shops, or for travel where the fold has to be tiny.

For taller children, test the seat depth first. The maker lists 12.8 lb and a folded size of 15 × 14 × 6.25 inches, small enough for most overhead bins.

Because every umbrella stroller here met the same five criteria, a low column is a trade-off rather than a defect. Work out which column you would notice, then buy on that.
