Compact Pushchair Reviews

If you're taking public transportation or frequently travelling by car, a lightweight compact stroller is a good choice. They are easy to fold and store, and they're less likely to get damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers that are lightweight provide modern convenience and are easy to navigate on cobblestones. Plus, they can be easily stored in the overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs are lightweight to carry and, more importantly, they are easy to fold. Often they have a simple one-handed fold and occupy less space when folded than larger buggies. They are a good choice if you don't have much space in your home, or if you're worried about space restrictions when traveling.

Some also have a very small footprint when closed which helps you to navigate tight spaces. These are the best choice for those who live in apartments or you want something light and nimble for everyday walking. They can be uncomfortable for older children who need to extend their legs to move around.

There are many different types of folds available, some can be completed with just one hand and others require two hands or more effort. Some are designed to be as small as they are able to be, which means they can fit in the cabin baggage allowance of a variety of flights, or be carried on your shoulders with a strap or handle.

In terms of a very lightweight pushchair, our favourite is the Silver Cross Dune. It has all the sophisticated design and thoughtful features that you would expect from this renowned brand, but in a much smaller size. It also comes with an user-friendly fold, and just similar to the Contours Itsy, it comes in the box fully assembled. It's a great option for parents who are traveling a lot with their child. It can fit in most car trunks and small trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It bridges the two categories of pushchairs as a fully-functioning system that is agile. It can be used in a parent-facing mode from birth and then changed to world-facing as your child gets older. It also comes with an excellent reclining feature that is nap-worthy. It's not as compact as the Libelle however it's smaller and more comfortable to use on flat surfaces. It's not the best choice for rough terrain, however. The other benefit is the low price tag and excellent durability tests.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel stroller, folding up so small that it can be tucked away in an overhead luggage compartment and is so light that you'll not even feel it in your car boot. It is also a good stroller for everyday use. Our test-driver Hollie found it easy to steer, even when carrying a baby of just one year old. She loved the adjustable handle with lockable wheels, as well as the reclining seat. However, she did note that it wasn't particularly comfortable. She also likes that you can add additional features like a reversible, washable seat cover, rain cover and a foot muff.

The Babyzen YOYO is a similarly compact fold pushchair. It's not as sleek as the Cybex Libelle, but it's nonetheless a great pack when folded. It is easy to slot in and out of trunks and boots. It also offers more options for newborns than other travel buggies, with the option of adding the bassinet or cot for newborns, plus a bespoke ride-on board for older kids and a tandem COSTWAY Double Seat Twin Tandem Pushchair Sale seat adapter.

It isn't the most compact buggy for driving on rough or uneven terrain, and its small wheels don't work as well as the other models we've tested. However, it is still an extremely maneuverable pushchair sale and the YOYO is capable of maneuvering narrow shopping aisles and muddy paths. It's an excellent option for a family vacation or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 offers a remarkably simplified list of features for its competitive price. It can be folded down to the size of a large backpack and weighs just 6kg, making it an easy travel buggy to transport on planes and trains. It's also easy to steer and our MFM test driver Matt found it to be a joy to steer, even with a toddler who was heavy was aboard. The hood is a plus, as it can be adjusted to provide shade and protection from rain and sun. It's ideal for napping. The only downside is that it has no under-seat storage and you'll need to carry or gently drape a bag on the handlebar (against our expert advice!). You can also buy an additional changing bag holder to make it a great holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on small pushchairs might appear small, but they often perform surprisingly well, navigating narrow aisles for shopping or rough terrain easily. The Micralite is a prime example, despite having tiny wheels, it navigates bumpy pavements with ease and is able to turn sharply on narrow streets and even is able to handle light gravel without a lot of difficulty. It features an easy-to-use steering system that is easy to operate with only one hand. It folds into a neat and compact package which fits perfectly in its accompanying carrying case.

The majority of compact pushchairs are made for toddlers and older infants however, an increasing number offer a lie-flat seat or the option to add an extra carrycot (or baby car seat) to make them suitable from the time of birth. These Z fold buggies or concertinas are typically light and weigh between 6 and 8 kg. They can also be accepted for use in cabins by many airlines. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on many occasions and finds it easy to use and store.

If you are looking for a compact fold, then the YOYO is an excellent option. It was the first buggy to offer this feature. It's still a popular choice among parents who prefer it over its imitators because of its innovative design and superior function. It's the ideal option for frequent travellers, especially if you want to avoid the stress of waiting at baggage pickup and instead bring your stroller onboard with you.

The YOYO is also extremely compact and fits into the carrying bag easily and with some room to spare. This makes it a great option for frequent travellers and those who need to pack a lot in their luggage. It's also extremely versatile. You can buy a variety of optional accessories, such as a newborn baby bassinet, bespoke riding board, and twin travel bundles to transform it into a tandem. You can also buy a rain cover and hood to give you added security.

Comfortable

Parents who want a light, compact pushchair that's easy to use and fits in the trunk of their vehicle, our review expert, Hollie, recommends this Silver Cross model. The Silver Cross model's maneuverability and reclined chair were among the best in our tests. It comes with a tray for parents, an storage basket that can fit small backpacks, and excellent sun-cover options.

Some compact-fold pushchairs fold so tiny that they're cabin approved for air travel, making them ideal if you're travelling often or have a tight car storage space. They're usually very light to make them easy to carry around and can be used with a travel system, if you choose a version with a lie-flat seat unit or comes with an optional newborn pod or one of two luxurious foldable carrycots.

One of the most important things to consider when looking for a travel buggy is that not all models are to be the same. Some brands claim that their compact-folding pushchairs are able to fold with one hand. Others might require more effort or two hands to fold it. Examine if the seat reclines. Some are flat, while others only have an occasional recline. This might be fine for toddlers, but not suitable for younger children.

Make sure the model you select is suitable for your travel plans. For instance when you're going to a hot destination then you should choose one with mesh fabric vented to keep your child cool. Likewise, if you're heading to a place that is windy or rainy, make sure the pushchair you buy has an appropriate cover designed specifically for it. generic covers aren't suited to the conditions and can let water in.
