It has a few limitations, such as a small canopy, and there's no storage.

Folding Ease

Consider where and how you will use the pushchair before choosing one. If you're traveling with your baby on a plane then a compact and light buggy is a good choice. It can be tucked away in the overhead luggage compartments and is small enough to be able to be carried over the shoulder. Look out for a one-handed fold that's easy to operate while holding your little one and a handle that is height-adjustable so parents and carers of different heights can enjoy it comfortably. A lock wheel that swivels is essential if you intend to hike with your baby. It will assist you to navigate uneven terrain. Be sure to look for features like a deep recline to allow the baby to sleep comfortably while you're moving and an extendable sun canopy.

It's important to test the pushchairs before purchasing to make sure that they can be folded using one hand while holding your child. Our test subjects found the UPPAbaby G-Luxe to be particularly impressive with its clever mechanism that combines to a slimmer, sleeker package than an umbrella. It also has a convenient pocket for stashing keys and phones, as well as an easy recline seat that's ideal for children who prefer to nap while on the move.

A few of the smallest fold-up pushchairs can be used as early as the time of birth. They have an easy-to-leap seat or an option for carrying cots. This is ideal for babies who like to sleep throughout the daytime. If you're planning to use your travel system from the beginning the one-click attachment system for an infant car seat is also essential.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and most lightweight of the bunch. It folds smaller than its counterpart, the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry with just 6kg. It's also super-easy to use, using a simple fold with one hand and a reclined seat that's perfect for toddler naps. This model is also a great option for hikers since it comes with an oversized front swivel wheel that can handle any terrain.

One-Handed folding

It is always a good idea to have a folding pushchair, whether you're walking around or taking public transport or flying to a distant destination with your infant. It's not a good idea to fold a complicated travel system while trying to manage a child and all of their necessities, including shopping bags, keys, and other items. This is why pushchairs that are one-handed are the most preferred choice for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be folded by pressing a button or buttons. Some models require more effort, or even two hands, but the ease of the process means that they are nevertheless easy to maneuver and stow away. They are also light, making it easier to transport or to store in small space.

A good example is the G-Luxe from UPPAbaby. It is one of the easiest one-handed folds that we have seen in our round up, with the speedy and smooth operation that requires only pulling on the lever on the bottom of the chassis. It can stand in its own way when folded, too and is ideal for storing in the corner of a cafe or in the foyer.

Another model that features simple, one-handed folding is the Bugaboo Bee. This is one of the original compact-fold pushchairs and despite being bigger than others it has a neat, easy to use fold. It also has a number of fantastic features, including an incredibly comfortable seat that reclines and an expanded UPF50+ canopy to keep your child covered during sunny days.

Some of these pushchairs are designed specifically for older babies and toddlers. However, there are more options that can be used from the time of the time of birth. These pushchairs come with a seat that can be fully or partially lie-flat and some even include an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has travelled extensively with her son in the Babyzen YOYO which is among the first buggys of this type and still a firm favourite. It's slightly smaller fold than other models, but it's extremely easy to maneuver and fits into the allowance for cabin luggage on a majority of airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair deals folds, it takes up very little space, and is often extremely light. This is particularly true of umbrella-fold pushchairs, which usually weigh less than 20 pounds. They're great for short walks on flat surfaces and pavements and for a quick transfer between your car and the homes of others. They're also a good option if you don't want to buy an all-terrain buggy but are content with your Pushchair With car seat on flat surfaces.

If you're planning to use a compact fold-away jogging pushchair on uneven ground or on sand or muddy surfaces, think about getting an air-filled tyre. They're a bit heavier than normal tyres, but they'll offer better traction and grip. It's important to keep in mind that the weight added will increase the size of your pushchair.

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

Many of the best strollers that are lightweight are simple to use. Some pushchairs can be opened or closed with the press of one button. Some have more complicated mechanisms, but still require little space. Some even have a wrist strap that lets you keep hold of the pushchair while it's folded, and this can make a huge difference in how easy it is to maneuver.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is an excellent example of a compact stroller packed with features. There's a decent-sized storage basket, plenty of padding, adjustable handlebar height (for tall and short parents) and a reclining seating and a large protective canopy. It's also extremely light and comes with a handy bag.

Compact

When selecting a stroller, you should think about the size of the stroller when folded. Some have a very small fold while others are larger, according to their overall dimensions and the features they have.

The compactness of a pushchair can 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 can even be folded into a pouch, so they can be tucked away in the back of a car or taken on the plane as baggage for cabin use. If you're planning to travel frequently or in a city that don't have a stroller every day it is the best solution for you.

Some of the best pushchairs to consider are those that feature an easy, effortless folding process that can be performed with just one hand. The Babyzen YOYO is the first in its class and has been imitated since then, but it is unique due to its unique features and superior functionality.

The Babyzen YOYO is ideal for travel because it has a fold that is incredibly small and just a little larger than most hand luggage allowances. It can be used at the airport between taking off and catching it on the way back.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is a compact pushchair that offers more space. It has a comfortable seat that reclines completely and offers a good amount of padding to keep your child comfortable. It can be used as early as birth with the carrycot or newborn cocoon pack (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another excellent option for a day-to-day light buggy that folds down to an extremely compact fold and can be set upright when it's not in use. However, it's not as easy to use as other models and can produce lots of noise when you adjust the canopy, which can awake your baby.
