Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs are simple to carry on public transport or to fit in the back of your car. They are also extremely lightweight and compact which makes them ideal for travel by plane.

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

Folding is easy

Think about the location and how you'll use the pushchair before deciding one. If you're planning to travel with your infant on planes an incredibly compact and lightweight buggy is an excellent option since it can be placed in the overhead luggage compartments and is usually small enough to be carried on your shoulder when folded. Find an easy-to-use fold that's simple to operate while holding your child and a handle that is height-adjustable so that carers and parents with different heights can enjoy it comfortably. If you're going to be hiking with baby the swivel lock wheel is essential to maneuver over uneven terrain. Other features worth a look include a deep recline to ensure comfortable naps on the go and a canopy that can be extended that provides extra sun protection.

It is important to test the cheap pushchairs prior to purchasing them to be sure they can be folded with one hand while holding your child. Our test subjects found the UPPAbaby GLUXE to be especially good thanks to its innovative mechanism that concertinas down to a slimmer, sleeker package than an umbrella. It has a pocket to store keys and phones, and a seat recliner which can be adjusted with one touch.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used from birth, and include a lie-flat seat or an option to add an additional carrycot, which means they're perfect for infants who need to rest during the day. If you intend to use your travel system from the start using a one-click attachment method for a car seat for infants is a must.

The smallest of the bunch, the Cybex Libelle, is an ideal choice for families who travel, as it folds even smaller than the YOYO2 (only 4cm thinner) and weighs than 6kg, making it extremely easy to carry. It's also extremely easy to use, with a simple one-hand fold and recline that is ideal for toddler napping. This model is also a great option for hikers as it has an oversized front swivel that can handle any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

If you're taking a stroll in the park, or cruising around town on public transport or jetting off to foreign shores with a baby it's a good idea to have a stroller that folds up easily. Having to manage a child bags, keys, shopping bags and other everyday necessities while attempting to fold a complicated travel system isn't ideal, so one-handed pushchairs and strollers are usually the most popular choices for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be folded by pressing the button or buttons. Certain models may require more effort, or two hands. However, the ease of this process makes them easy to maneuver and to store. They also tend to be lighter, making them simpler to transport around or fitting in small spaces.

One of the best examples is the G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby. It is one of the easiest one-handed folds that we have seen in our round-up, and features the speedy and smooth operation that involves only pulling on the lever on the bottom of the chassis. It can also stand up on its own, which makes it ideal for storing in the corner of a café or a foyer.

Another model with an easy, one-handed fold is the Bugaboo Bee. This is one of the first compact-fold pushchairs, and despite being bigger than others it still features an elegant, simple to use fold. It comes with a wide array of features, with a recline that is deep and an UPF 50+ canopy that is expandable that's designed to keep your little one protected on sunny days.

Some of these compact-folded pushchairs are specifically designed for toddlers and older children. However, there are more options to use right 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 editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her young son in the Babyzen YOYO which is one of the first buggys of this kind and is remains a popular choice. It's slightly smaller fold than others, but it's still very easy to handle and fits into the allowance for cabin luggage on the majority of airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds is often extremely compact and light. This is especially applicable to umbrella-folded pushchairs that weigh less than 20 pounds. They're great for short walks on pavements and flat surfaces as well as for a simple way to get between your vehicle and other people's houses. They're also a good choice if you do not wish to purchase an all-terrain stroller but prefer to use your stroller only on flat surfaces.

Consider getting air-filled tyres for use with your compact pushchair on rough terrain, on sand or on slippery surfaces. These tyres weigh more, but they provide better grip and traction. The extra weight adds to the overall pushchair size though, so it's important to be aware of that.

A variety of lightweight pushchairs were created for toddlers and older infants that can sit up independently however, more are suitable from the age of. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have an area that can be laid flat and can be paired with an infant car seat or a carrycots (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers can be converted into double buggys using an accompanying stroller board. This is a great option for Grandma and Grandad.

A lot of the top lightweight strollers are simple to use. Some pushchairs can be opened and closed with one button. Others have more complex mechanisms, yet they require little space. Some pushchairs have wristbands that allow users to hold the pushchair even when it's folded. This makes it easier to maneuver.

While some lightweight pushchairs are quite basic however, the 3D Lite from Contours is an excellent example of how a super-compact stroller can come with a wealth of features. There's a decent-sized basket, plenty of padding, adjustable height of the handlebar (for parents who are tall and short) and a reclining seating and a huge canopy to protect. It's also extremely light and comes with a handy bag.

Compact

When you are choosing a stroller you must consider how compact it is when folded. Certain pushchairs come with a compact fold, while others are more spacious based on the overall size and features.

The compactness is essential for those who plan to travel with your baby. There are models that fold to the smallest size and even into a bag, so they can be easily tucked away in the back of a car or taken on a plane as baggage for cabin use. If you're planning to travel frequently or live in a city that can't use a large stroller every day, this is the perfect solution for you.

The most effective pushchairs from birth are those with a simple, easy-to-fold process. The Babyzen YOYO was the first of its kind and has since been copied but stands out due to its unique design and superior functionality.

The Babyzen YOYO has an impressively compact fold and is slightly bigger than the average hand luggage allowances, which makes it perfect for travel. It can be used at the gate between taking off and catching it on the way back.

For a more spacious and compact pushchair deals, consider the Mamas and Papas Airo. It has a comfortable seat that can recline fully and offers a good amount of padding to ensure your child is comfortable. It can be used from birth with the addition of the carrycot or newborn cocoon pack (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ can also be used as a light 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 it can make a lot more noise when you adjust its canopy. This could wake your baby.
