Why Buy a Travel Pushchair?

If you're traveling with children, a travel stroller (or pram as the Brits call them) can make your life much easier. These lightweight pushchairs pack up flat and fit into car boots and overhead storage compartments.

They also come with features such as an adult pocket, a reclining seat and extendable footrest. They are an excellent choice for long-distance trips, especially in foreign countries.

They're great for travel

A travel pushchair is designed to fold quickly and easily into a compact size. They are perfect for parents who are constantly on the move, especially when they travel by plane. They are also perfect for strolls in the morning or on a day trip in the park. These strollers are equipped with numerous features that ensure your child is happy and comfortable on the road. They are also easy to move and can be used on all types of terrain.

If you're looking for a small light travel buggy, think about the Babyzen Yoyo. It's an award-winning choice, with a smooth one-handed fold that requires only the press of one button. It's very light, weighing only 6kg. It can be folded into a bag that's about the size of a backpack. It's also available with a bassinet for newborn babies, and a car adapter, so it can be used from the moment of the time of birth.

There are numerous other compact travel pushchairs on the market however you should read reviews before buying to determine which one is the best for your family. The fold storage space, weight limit and limit are important factors to consider. It is important to consider the height of the handlebar, as some may be more uncomfortable for tall or petite parents.

Another option that is great for travel is the Joolz Micralite, which has a unique, one-handed folding mechanism and weighs just 6kg. It has a compact footprint and the folded dimensions being slightly smaller than the Cybex Libelle. It offers a decent recline and is suitable for kids up to four years old. It comes with a bag for travel and a shoulder strap.

The new GB Pockit Nano has a elegant, stylish design and a remarkably compact fold. It measures 21 x 12 x 20 inches when fully unfolded and is smaller than its predecessor. It also has a higher recline position as well as a sun shade that flips out visor. The new version has an elongated frame, a slimmer wheels, and is available in black, Air France blue, ginger, peppermint and toffee.

You can store them easily

If you're an urban family living in a cramped apartment or using public transport, a small triple pushchair might be the perfect option for you. Many of these models can be tucked away in the hallway or in the car boot. They're light enough to be carried on the shoulders. Thanks to their ultra-compact, one-hand folding mechanisms they're easy to bring out and fold when you're looking to get out and explore.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule. Not all compact fold pushchairs are with the same features. Some have more features and functions than others, so do ensure you read reviews carefully before you make a purchase. For example the Contours Itsy is one of our top choices because it is almost fully assembled right out of the box, and folds down to a tiny size with just two quick clicks. This model is also fairly stripped down. It doesn't have extras like a cup holder, or an oversized basket that would make it heavier and less practical.

The Ergobaby Go takes a more thoughtful approach to this type of compact pushchair, with an ample-sized basket and plenty of padding for baby stroller's comfort. It also comes with an adjustable wrist strap, which is usually only found on jogging strollers making it more secure when driven. And despite its more utilitarian design, it still has a decent sized seat that reclines for lying flat and has a sunshade to ensure that baby is protected.

The Babyzen YOYO, although not as compact as some other options – and you may have to use a bit more elbow grease to fold it – is a great example of a pushchair that folds with one hand. It's also extremely lightweight and is approved for use as baggage for flights making it a great choice for those who travel frequently with your child.

They're suitable for older children.

For parents whose child has moved out of the infant stage, a compact stroller could continue to be a useful option. When their toddlers are able to walk, many parents prefer to use a lightweight, compact pushchair over a large, bulky stroller travel. The smaller and lighter pushchairs are more maneuverable up and down stairs, and fit better into car boot spaces.

A variety of smaller lightweight pushchairs are suitable for infants from birth. They can either come with an adjustable seat that can be slid down, or the option of adding a car seat for infants. For example the UPPAbaby Minu is able to take the UPPAbaby carrycot that pops over the fabric of the seat, allowing baby to lie comfortably in the pushchair during overnight naps or for naps during the day. The Aer is a bit more expensive than the Minu but provides the same solution. It attaches a hood on the front of the seat and provides a spacious and comfortable space for baby to lay on their backs.

Some smaller pushchairs come equipped with different accessories that make them more practical. They include footmuffs as well as shopping bags. These accessories can help keep the baby and parents snug during colder months and also shield them from sun. These additional accessories can increase the cost of a lightweight pushchair, but they're nevertheless cheaper than a full travel system.

If you're seeking a pushchair that folds as compactly as it can be and is as compact as possible, the Summer Infant 3D Lite is a fantastic option. It can be folded to the size and weight of a compact bag. While it does not have an adult pocket (you might be able to put a few dollars in there, but not much else), it does have an extendable footrest and a giant canopy that blocks the sun.

They're an excellent choice for toddlers

While a lot of parents don't think of a compact stroller as their child's first stroller, it could still be a good option once they're a bit older. They're particularly useful when your family is located in a city, and you depend on public transport. They are able to pass through doors that are narrow and small spaces. Even if you don't reside in a city, a compact stroller is a great option when your child no longer needs a travel system and you have limited space in your car or home.

The Silver Cross Dune 2022 foldable pushchair is an example a compact folding pushchair suitable for infants from birth. It features a 360-degree seat rotation system, meaning it can be used as a parent-facing or world-facing pram, based on the style your toddler prefers. It also comes with an adjustable seat that is capable of holding kids up to age four. With its slim, compact wheels and one-hand fold it's easy to maneuver through tight spaces or along dirt paths.

Another good alternative is the UPPAbaby G-Luxe that is compatible with all popular infant car seats. It has a large canopy that gives plenty of sun protection (although it doesn't include a peekaboo window). The padding on the seat is comfortable and easy to clean. It is slightly tricky to fold, as the ring and handle combination must be precisely timed however once you get grasped the concept the ring is easy to fold on the go.

There are other compact pushchairs that can be used right from birth. They include the Chicco Liteway, and the Babyzen YOYO. The YOYO is among the first to provide an actual compact fold and has set the standard for other light strollers. The Liteway stroller is more expensive, but it has better features. It is also suitable for children under four years old. It can be converted into a double buggy with an infant bassinet or a twin travel bundle and comes in several colors, including peppermint, ginger, toffee, grey, black, red, or Air France blue.
