Lightweight

The best compact pushchairs are lightweight to carry, and more importantly, they are easy to fold. Most of them have a one-handed fold and occupy less space when folded than full-size buggies. They’re a great option for those who don’t have a lot of space in your home, or if you’re concerned about space restrictions when traveling.

Some are designed to be as compact as possible, meaning they will fit into the cabin baggage allowance on many flights or be carried on your shoulders with a strap or handle.

In terms of a very light pushchair near me, our favorite is the Silver Cross Dune. It has all the sophisticated design and innovative features you would expect from the storied brand, but in a much smaller package. It comes with an easy-to-use fold and, like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled in the box. It’s a good choice for parents who intend to travel extensively with their infant, and fits into the majority of car boot spaces and trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It is a bridge between the two types of pushchairs and is a fully-functional system that is agile. It can be used in parent-facing mode from birth and then changed to world-facing when your child grows older. It also comes with an adequate recline feature that’s suitable for napping. It isn’t quite as compact as the Libelle however it comes in a smaller package and is easier to operate on flat surfaces. It’s not suitable for rough terrain. Another benefit is its low price tag and excellent tests of durability.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel buggy, folding into a size that can be tucked away in an overhead compartment for luggage, and is so light that you’ll not even feel it in your car boot. It’s also a good day-to-day stroller and our test driver Hollie found it easy to steer, even while carrying her toddler. She liked the adjustable handle with lockable wheels, as well as the reclining seat. However, she said that it was not very 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 parent facing. It’s not as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle but it’s still a neat package that can easily slide into car trunks and trunks.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that offers numerous features for a very low price. It folds down to the size of a large backpack and weighs only 6kg, so it’s an ideal travel buggy to cart on planes and trains. It is also very easy to steer and our MFM test rider Matt found it to be an absolute joy to steer even when a heavy toddler was riding along. He also liked the hood that slides down low enough to shield from rain and sun and aid napping. The only downside is that it has no under-seat storage and you’ll need to carry or hang a bag over the handlebar (against our expert advice!). You can also purchase a separate changing bag holder to make this an ideal buggy for the holidays.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on compact pushchairs may look small, but they usually are surprisingly efficient, navigating narrow aisles for shopping or rough terrain easily.

Comfortable

Hollie, our reviewer, recommends the Silver Cross model to parents looking for a lightweight compact pushchair. It’s easy-to-use and fits in the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclined seat are among the top in our tests.

Some compact-fold strollers pushchairs fold down so small that they’re certified for use on planes by the cabin. This makes them ideal if you travel often or have a limited space in your car boot. They’re usually light to make them easy for you to carry. They can also be used with a travel system, if you select a version with a lie-flat seat, or a newborn ‘pod’.

A key thing to note when searching for a travel buggy is that not all models are created to be the same. Some brands claim their compact-fold pushchairs can fold with just one hand, whereas others might require more involvement or two hands to figure out how to get it folded. Make sure the seat reclines. Some are flat, whereas others have an occasional recline. This could be okay for toddlers, but not for younger children.

It’s also important to determine whether the model you’re looking at is specifically designed for the kind of travel you’re planning on doing, for instance, when you’re heading to a hot destination make sure you choose one that has an air-ventilated mesh fabric to keep your child cool. If you’re heading somewhere that’s stormy or rainy it is important to ensure that your pushchair comes with a cover designed for it. Covers that are generic won’t fit and could let water in.
