If you're using public transport or are frequently traveling by car, a light compact stroller is a good option. These strollers are simple to fold and store and less likely to be damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers that are lightweight are convenient and easy to maneuver over cobblestones. They can also be easily stored in the overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs are easy to carry, and more importantly, they are easy to fold. Most of them have a one-handed fold and take up less space when folded than full-size buggies. This makes them a great option for those with limited storage in your home or are worried about space limitations when travelling particularly by plane.

Some also have a very Small Pushchair footprint when closed, which allows you to walk through tight spaces. They are the best option if you reside in an apartment or just want something nimble and light for walking around the day. However, they can be uncomfortable for older children if you require them to extend their legs to move around.

There are many different types of folds to choose from, some can be accomplished with just one hand and others require two hands or a bit more effort. Some are designed to fit within the baggage allowances for cabin baggage on many flights, or can be carried over your shoulder with a strap or handle.

Silver Cross Dune is our most loved lightweight pushchair. The Silver Cross Dune is a compact pushchair that offers all the thoughtful features and smart design that you would expect from this heritage brand. It also has a very easy-to-use fold, and similar to the Contours Itsy, it comes in a box that is fully assembled. It's a great choice for parents who will be travelling a lot with their baby. It fits in most car trunks and smaller trunk spaces.

Another good option is another option is the Cybex Mios, which straddles the two categories of pushchairs as a fully-functional travel system with agility and a compact fold. It can be used in parent-facing mode from birth, and switched to world-facing mode as your child ages. It also has an adequate reclining feature that is nap-worthy. It's not as compact as the Libelle but it is smaller and more comfortable to use on flat surfaces. It is not suitable for rough terrain. The price is very affordable and the durability tests are excellent.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel buggy, which folds into a size that fits into an overhead luggage compartment, and weighing so little you'll not even feel it in your car boot. It's also a great day-to-day stroller and our test driver Hollie found it easy to steer even while juggling her one-year-old. She loved the adjustable handle, lockable wheels and the reclining seat. However, she said that it was not very comfortable. She also likes that you can add extras such as a reversible and washable seat cover, rain cover, and a foot muff.

The Babyzen Fold pushchair from YOYO is another compact folding stroller. It isn't as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle, but it's nonetheless a great package when folded and it can be easily slotted in and out of trunks and car boots. It has more options for newborns compared to other travel buggies. You can add the bassinet or cot for newborns and a customized ride-on-board for older children and a tandem seat adapter.

It's not the smallest buggy for driving on rough or uneven terrain, and its small wheels don't work as well as the other models we've tried. But, it's an extremely maneuverable pushchair and the YOYO does an excellent job of navigating narrow aisles and muddy paths. It's a great option for a vacation or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 offers a remarkably simple list of features at its competitive price. It can be folded down to the size and weight of a huge bag and is simple to transport on planes and trains. It's also very easy to steer, and our MFM test rider Matt found it enjoyable to steer, even with a large toddler was aboard. He also loved the hood that slides low enough to shield from rain and sun and facilitate naps. Its only downside is that there's no storage under the seat and you'll have to carry or hang your bag over the handlebars (against expert advice!). You can also purchase a separate changing bag holder to make it a fantastic holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on small pushchairs might look small, but they typically are surprisingly efficient, navigating narrow shopping aisles or rough terrain easily. The Micralite is an excellent example, despite having small wheels it handles bumpy pavements with ease and is able to turn sharply on narrow streets and even can handle some small gravels without much of a problem. It has an easy-to-use steering system that is easy to operate using just one hand. It folds down into a very neat and compact box that fits snugly into its accompanying bag for transport.

The majority of compact pushchairs were created for toddlers and older children. However increasing numbers of them come with a lie-flat option or the option to add a carrycot (or car seat) to allow them to be used from the time of birth. These Z fold buggies are usually very lightweight, weighing only 6-8kg. They are also accepted for use in cabins by many airlines. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on a number of occasions and has found it easy to use and store.

If you're looking for a truly tiny fold one, the YOYO is the pinnacle of the compact category and was one of the first buggy of this type. It's still a popular choice for parents, with many favouring it over its imitators due to its innovative features and its superior performance. It's an ideal option for frequent travellers particularly if you want to avoid the hassle of waiting in line at baggage checkpoints and instead bring your stroller with you on the plane.

The YOYO is also extremely compact and can fit into the bag with ease and having plenty of room. It's a great choice for frequent travelers, especially those who need to carry many things in their suitcase. It's also extremely versatile - you can buy a range of optional accessories to it like a newborn bassinet, bespoke ride-on board and twin travel bundle to turn it into the form of a tandem. You can also purchase an umbrella and rain cover to ensure your safety.

Confortable

Hollie, our reviewer, recommends the Silver Cross model to parents seeking a light and compact pushchair. It's easy-to-use and fits into the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclined seat are among the best we've seen in our tests. It has a parent's tray and the storage basket which can be used to fit small backpacks, and excellent sun-cover options.

Some compact-folding pushchairs fold down so tiny that they're cabin approved for air travel and are ideal for when you frequently travel or have a limited car boot space. They're usually very light and compact, making them easy to carry around and can be used with a travel system if you select a model with a lie-flat seat unit or comes with an optional newborn pod or one of two luxurious foldable carrycots.

When looking for a trip, it's crucial to remember that not all models of buggy are created equal. Some brands claim their compact fold pushchairs can be folded with one hand, whereas others might require more of an involvement or two hands to work out how to get it into the folded position. Examine if the seat reclines. Some are completely flat, while others have some slight recline. This might be fine for toddlers, but not for younger babies.

You should also check whether your chosen model is specifically designed for the kind of travel you're planning on doing, such as when you're heading to a hot destination you should look for one that has a vented mesh fabric to keep your little one cool. Likewise, if you're heading somewhere that is windy or rainy ensure that the pushchair you buy comes with an appropriate cover to fit it. generic covers aren't suited to the conditions and could let water in.
