Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs are easy to take on public transportation or even fit into the back of your car. They are also extremely lightweight and compact which makes them ideal for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby has one of the most compact folds we've ever seen. However, it has some limitations, including a tiny canopy, and no storage.

Ease of folding

When you're choosing a fold-up pushchair, it's important to consider how and where you'll use it. If you're traveling with baby by plane, a compact, lightweight buggy is a good choice as it can fit into the overhead compartments for luggage and is typically small enough to be carried on your shoulder when folded. You should choose an infant stroller that folds easily with one hand while holding your child. It should have a handle that is adjustable in height, so that caregivers and parents with different heights are able to use it comfortably. If you're planning to go walking with your baby it is essential to maneuver over uneven terrain. Be sure to look for features like an extended recline that allows the baby to sleep comfortably when you're on the move and an extendable sun canopy.

It is essential to test pushchairs before purchasing to make sure that they can be folded using one hand while holding your child. The UPPAbaby G Luxe was rated highly by our testers, thanks to its clever mechanism which transforms into a compact unit 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 one touch.

A few of the smallest fold-up pushchairs are made to be used starting at birth, and include a lie-flat seat or an option to add an additional carrycot, which means they're ideal for young babies who prefer to sleep throughout the day. If you plan on using your travel system right from the beginning the one-click attachment system for an infant car seat is essential.

The tiniest of the bunch that's the Cybex Libelle, is an excellent choice for families with a tendency to travel, as it folds even more compactly than its counterpart the YOYO2 (only 4cm smaller) and weighs less at under 6kg so is extremely light to carry. It is also easy to use, with a one-hand fold and the seat can recline to allow for naps for toddlers. This model is a great choice for hikers since it comes with a large front swivel tire that is able to be able to handle any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

If you're taking a stroll in the park, whizzing around town on public transport or heading to distant shores with your baby, it pays to have a pushchair newborn that folds easily. It's not ideal to have to fold a complicated travel system while trying to manage a child as well as all of their essentials, like keys, shopping bags, and other things. This is why pushchairs and strollers (this content) that can be folded one hand are the most preferred option for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be collapsed by pressing the button or buttons. Some models require more effort or even two hands, but the ease of the process means they are still easy to handle and store away. They are also light, making it easier to carry around or to store in small space.

A good example is the UPPAbaby G-Luxe. It is one of the easiest one-handed folds in our round-up. It has an easy and smooth operation that requires just pulling a lever at the base of the chassis. It stands up in its own way when folded, and is ideal for stowing in the corner of a cafe or the foyer.

The Bugaboo Bee is another model which folds easily using just one hand. It's one of the first compact-fold pushchairs, and despite being larger than others it has a simple, easy to use fold. It also has a number of excellent features, such as a deep reclining seat and an expanded UPF50+ canopy to keep your child covered during sunny days.

Some of these compact-fold pushchairs are designed for older babies or toddlers, but there are numerous models that are designed to be used from the time of birth. These have a full or partial lie-flat seat and can come with the option of an infant car seat. MFM's Gemma has traveled with her son in a Babyzen YOYO - one of the first strollers of its kind. It's still a favorite. It has a slightly smaller and less compact fold than others, but it's still very easy to carry and fits in the cabin luggage allowance on a majority of airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds down it takes up very little space, and it's often extremely light. This is especially the case for umbrella-folded pushchairs which weigh less than 20 pounds. They are ideal for short walks on pavements and flat surfaces and for a quick transfer between your car and the homes of others. They're also a good choice if you don't want to purchase an all-terrain buggy and are happy with your pushchair on flat surfaces.

Consider getting air-filled tyres If you intend to use your compact folding jogging pushchair in rough terrain, on sand, or on muddy surfaces. These tyres weigh more, but they provide greater grip and traction. The extra weight adds to the overall size of the pushchair though, so it's important to keep that in mind.

A lot of lightweight pushchairs are made for older children and toddlers that can sit on their own, but there are a growing number that can be used for babies from birth. They include models such as the Mamas & Papas Airo, which has a lie-flat seat and the option of adding an additional carrycot pack (sold separately) or an infant car seat to make an entire travel system. Some compact-fold pushchairs are even designed to be used in conjunction with a stroller board to transform them into a double-buggy - great for taking Grandma or Grandad along.

A lot of the top lightweight pushchairs are simple to use. Some pushchairs can be opened or closed by pressing a single button. Others feature more intricate mechanisms, but they require little space. Some have a strap on the wrist that lets you keep hold of the pushchair while it's folded. This could make a significant difference to the ease of move.

While some lightweight pushchairs can be very stripped down, the 3D Lite from Contours is an excellent example of how a tiny stroller pushchair can come with a wealth of features. There's also a substantial basket, lots of padding and adjustable handlebars (for parents who are tall or short) and a massive canopy that protects. It's also extremely light and comes with a handy bag.

Compact

When selecting a stroller, you should consider the size of the stroller when folded. Some pushchairs have a very compact fold, whereas others are more spacious based on the overall dimensions and features.

Compactness is also important for those who plan to travel with your baby. Some models fold down to a small size or even a bag, making them easy to store in the boot of your car or carry on the plane. If you're planning to travel often or live in a city that don't have a stroller it is the best option for you.

The best pushchairs are those that have an easy, simple fold process. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its kind and has been imitated since, Pushchair Near Me but it still is a standout due to its innovative features and superior design.

The Babyzen YOYO has an impressively compact fold and is slightly larger than the average hand luggage allowances, making it perfect for travelling with. It can be carried to the airport and used during the time between taking off and catching your flight.

For a more spacious compact pushchair, check out the Mamas and Papas Airo. This is a fantastic seat that can recline fully and has plenty of padding to keep your child comfy. It can be used from birth with the carrycot or newborn cocoon pack (not included).

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