Easy folding

When you're choosing a fold-up pushchair, you need to take into consideration where and how you'll use it. If you're planning to travel with baby by plane, a compact, lightweight buggy pushchair is a good choice as it can fit in the overhead luggage compartments and is usually small enough to be carried on the shoulder when unfolded. It is recommended to choose buggy that can fold with one hand while you hold your child.

A swivel lock wheel is a must if you plan to take your baby on a hike. It will help you navigate the terrain that is uneven. Be sure to look for features like the ability to recline deep enough for a comfortable nap while you're moving, and an extendable sun canopy.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to be folded in one-hand but it's important to test this out prior to purchasing to make sure it really is feasible while being able to hold your child. Our test subjects found the UPPAbaby GLUXE to be especially good, with its clever mechanism that concertinas down into a compact size that is smaller than an umbrella. It has a pocket to store phones and keys as well as a recliner seat which can be adjusted with a single touch.

One-Handed Folding

When you're going for a stroll through the park, speeding around the city on public transport, or jetting off to foreign shores with baby in tow, it pays to have a stroller that folds easily. It's not a good idea to fold a complicated travel system while trying to manage a child and all of their essentials, such as shopping bags, keys, and other items. This is the reason why pushchairs that are one-handed are the most popular option for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be folded by pressing a button or buttons. Some models require a bit more effort or even two hands, but the ease of the process makes them nevertheless easy to maneuver and store away. They are also light and easy to carry around or store in tight space.

An excellent example is the G-Luxe from UPPAbaby. This model is one of the most simple to fold using one hand in our roundup. It's all it takes is pulling a lever on the chassis. It is also able to stand on its own, making it ideal to store in the corner of a café or in a foyer.

Another model that has an easy, one-handed fold is the Bugaboo Bee. It's one of the first compact-fold pushchairs and despite being larger than others, it still has an elegant, simple to use fold. It has a great range of features, too, including a deep recline and an UPF 50+ canopy that is expandable designed to keep your little one safe on hot days.

Some of these pushchairs are designed for toddlers or older children, but there are many models that are designed to be used from birth. These pushchairs come with a seat that can be fully or partially lied-flat, and some even include an infant car seat.

It's smaller than other buggy models, but is still easy to maneuver. It can be incorporated into the cabin baggage allowance of the majority of airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds, it occupies a small space, and it's often extremely light. This is especially true of umbrella-folding pushchairs, which typically weigh less than 20 pounds. They are perfect for short walks on pavements or flat surfaces and also for transporting between your car and others homes. They're also a good option if you don't want to purchase an all-terrain buggy and are happy with your pushchair cheap on flat surfaces.

You should consider buying tyres with air for use with your compact folding pushchair in uneven terrain, on sand or on rough surfaces. These tyres are more heavy however they offer more grip and traction. It's important to note that the extra weight will add to the size of your pushchair.

A variety of lightweight pushchairs were created for older infants and toddlers that could sit up on their own, but more are now suitable for babies from the time of birth. This includes models like the Mamas & Papas Airo, with a lie-flat seat and the option of adding an additional carrycot pack (sold separately) or an infant car seat to create a travel system. Some compact-fold strollers are able to be converted into double buggys using a stroller board. This is great for Grandma and Grandad.

A lot of the top lightweight pushchairs are easy to use. Some are simply open or closed at the touch of a button, whereas others have more complex mechanisms, but they take up a small amount of space. Some even have a strap on the wrist that lets you your grip on the pushchair even when it's folded, and this could make a significant difference in how easy it is to maneuver.

While some lightweight pushchairs are very stripped down, the 3D Lite from Contours is a fantastic illustration of how a small stroller can be packed full of features. There's a decent-sized storage basket, plenty of padding, adjustable handlebar height (for parents who are tall and short) and a reclining seating and a huge canopy to protect. It's also very light and comes with a handy carry bag.

The compactness is essential for those who plan to travel with your stroller. There are models that fold to the smallest size, and even into a pouch, so they can be easily tucked away in the back of a car or taken on the plane as cabin baggage. This is a great option when you plan to travel frequently or live in an urban area where you aren't able to take a larger stroller with you all the time.

The best pushchairs are those with an easy, simple fold process. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its kind and has been a model of imitation since, but it stands apart thanks to its clever features and superior functionality.

The Babyzen YOYO is a tiny fold and is only slightly bigger than the average hand luggage allowances, making it perfect to travel with. It can even be taken to the airport and used in between boarding and catching your flight.

If you are looking for a larger, compact pushchair, look at the Mamas and Papas Airo. The seat reclines completely, and it has plenty of padding to make your child comfortable. It can be used as early as birth with the addition of the carrycot or newborn cocoon pack (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ can also be used as a lightweight stroller for everyday use. It has a compact fold that can be positioned upright when not in use. It's not as easy-to-use as other models, and it's able to make a lot more noise when you adjust its canopy. This could wake your baby.
