Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs make it simple to hop on and off public transport, or fit in the back of a car. They also tend to be extremely light and compact, making them ideal for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby model has one of the most appealing compact folds we've seen. But it comes with some limitations, such as a tiny canopy and a lack of storage.

Folding is easy

Think about where and how you will use the pushchair prior to deciding on one. If you'll be travelling with your baby on a plane, a compact, lightweight buggy is a great choice as it can fit in the overhead luggage compartments and is usually small enough to be carried on your shoulder when unfolded. Look out for a single-handed fold that is easy to operate while holding your baby and a height-adjustable handle to ensure that parents and caregivers of different heights can enjoy it comfortably. If you're planning to go walking with your baby, a swivel-lock wheel is essential for manoeuvring over uneven terrain. Be sure to look for features like an extended recline that allows for a comfortable nap while on the move, and an extendable sun canopy.

It's important to test the pushchairs before buying to make sure that they can be folded with 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 also has a handy pocket for stashing keys and phone and a one-touch seat recline that's ideal for children who prefer to nap in the middle of the road.

Some of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used from birth and offer an easy-to-leap seat or the option of an additional carrycot, so they're great for babies who prefer to sleep throughout the day. If you're planning to use your travel system from the start using a one-click attachment method for a car seat for infants is also an essential feature.

The smallest of the group, the Cybex Libelle, is an excellent choice for families with a tendency to travel, as it folds even smaller than the YOYO2 (only 4cm smaller) and weighs than 6kg, making it extremely light to carry. It is also simple to use with a one-hand fold and the seat reclines for toddler naps. This model is also a good choice for hikers as it has an oversized front swivel that can handle any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

It is always a good idea to have a folding pushchair, whether you're out on a stroll or taking public transport or flying to a foreign land with your baby. It's not a good idea to fold a complex travel system and manage a child and all of their necessities, including keys, shopping bags and other things. This is why pushchairs and strollers that can be folded one hand are the most sought-after option for parents.

Like the name suggests it is a pushchair that folds one hand. can be folded down with the touch of one button or two. Some models require more effort or even two hands, but the ease of the process means that they are still easy to handle and store away. They are also light which makes them easier to transport or store in small spaces.

A good example is the G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby. This model has one of the easiest one-handed folds in our round-up. It has an easy and smooth operation that involves just pulling on a lever at the base of the chassis. It stands up in its own way when folded, too making it perfect to store in the corner of a cafe, or in a foyer.

The Bugaboo Bee is another model that can be folded by one hand. It's among the first pushchairs with a compact fold. Although it is larger than other options the Bugaboo Bee still has an easy-to-use, sleek fold. It also comes with a variety of great features, including an incredibly comfortable seat that reclines and an UPF50+ canopy that can be expanded to keep your child covered on sunny days.

Some of these pushchairs are specifically designed for toddlers and older infants. However there are other options to use starting from the time of birth. These have a full or partial lie-flat seat, and may come with the option of incorporating an infant car seat. MFM's Gemma has travelled with her son in a Babyzen YOYO - one of the very first buggys of its kind. It is still a favorite. It's a little less compact fold than some others, but it's still extremely easy to maneuver and fits into the cabin luggage allowance on a majority of airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds down is typically extremely small and light. It's especially applicable to umbrella-folded pushchairs that weigh less than 20 pounds. They're great for short walks on flat surfaces and pavements as well as for a simple way to get between your car and homes of other people. These are also a good choice if you do not want to invest in an all-terrain stroller and prefer to use your stroller only on flat surfaces.

If you want to use a compact folding pushchair on uneven ground, or on muddy or sandy surfaces, think about getting an air-filled tyre. These tyres are heavier, but they provide greater grip and traction. The extra weight does add to the overall size of the pushchair though it's crucial to think about this.

A variety of lightweight pushchairs were created for toddlers and older infants that could sit up on their own, but more are now suitable from birth. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have an area that can be laid flat and can be used in conjunction with a car seat for infants or a carrycot (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers can be converted into double buggys by using a stroller board. This is ideal for Grandma and Grandad.

Many of the best lightweight strollers are simple to use. Some are simply open or closed with the push of a button. others have more intricate mechanisms, but they all require very little space. Some pushchairs feature a wrist band that allows users to hold the pushchair near me even when folded. This can make it easier to move.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is a fantastic example of a compact stroller that's packed with features. It also has a large basket, lots of padding and adjustable handlebars (for tall or short parents) and a huge canopy that protects. It's also very light and comes with a handy carry bag.

Compact

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

The compactness of a pushchair could be a factor to consider in the event that you are planning to travel with it. There are models that fold to a very small size, and even into a bag, so they can be easily stashed in the trunk of a car, or taken on an airplane as cabin baggage. This is perfect if you plan to travel frequently or live in an urban area, where you can't take a larger stroller with you every day.

The most effective pushchairs have an easy and simple folding process. The Babyzen YOYO was the first of its kind and has since been imitated but stands out thanks to its clever details and superior functionality.

The Babyzen YOYO is a tiny fold and is only slightly bigger than the size of most hand luggage allowances, making it perfect for travelling with. It can even be taken to the airport and used during the time between the boarding process and getting your flight.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is a compact holiday pushchair that offers more space. The seat reclines fully and it has plenty of padding to keep your child feel comfortable. It can be used from birth, with the addition a baby cocoon pack or carrycot (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another ideal choice for a day-today lightweight stroller that folds into a very compact fold and can be stood up when not in use. It's not as easy-to-use as other models, and it can produce a lot of noise when you adjust its canopy. This can wake your baby.
