It’s extremely light at 6kg, and can fit into bags that are similar to a backpack. It’s also available with a bassinet for babies and an adapter for car seats and can be used from birth.
There are many other travel-friendly compact pushchairs on the market However, make sure to go through reviews to decide which one is best for your family’s requirements. The most important aspects to consider are the fold, storage space, weight limit and recline. Also, you should consider the height of your handlebars as some might be uncomfortable for taller or smaller parents.
Another option that is great for travel is the Joolz Micralite, which has an innovative one-handed folding mechanism that weighs only 6kg. It has a compact footprint, with the folded dimensions being slightly smaller than the Cybex Libelle. It has a decent recline, and is suitable for children from 4 to 5 years old.

They’re easy to store
A compact pushchair is a great option for urban families who live in small apartments or who use public transportation. Most of these models are lightweight enough to be carried over the shoulder, or stored flat in the back of your car’s trunk or inside a hallway. They’re also easy to unfold and pull out thanks to their compact, one-hand-folding mechanisms.
Of course, not all compact fold pushchairs are alike. Some come with more features and functions than others, so take the time to go through reviews before making a purchase. For example the Contours Itsy is one of our top choices because it is almost fully assembled right out of the box and folds to a tiny size with just two quick presses of a button. This model is also fairly stripped down. It doesn’t have extras such as an holder for cups or a basket that is too large which would make it heavier and less convenient.
The Ergobaby Go, on the other hand, is a small pushchair that was created with more thought. It has an ample basket and plenty of padding for your baby’s comfort. It also has a wrist strap, which is typically only found on jogging walkers. This makes it feel more secure when being push-chaired. And despite its more utilitarian style, it comes with a decent sized seat that reclines to lie-flat and has a sunshade to ensure that baby is protected.
The Babyzen YOYO, though not as compact as some other options – and you might have to use a bit of elbow grease to fold it – is an excellent example of a pushchair that folds with one hand. It’s also extremely lightweight and has been approved for use as cabin baggage on flights which makes it a great choice if you’re often travelling with your child.
They’re good for older babies
A compact pushchair can be useful for parents who have children who are no longer in the newborn stage. Many parents notice that once their child is spending a lot of time walking, they are often happier to use a nimble lightweight pushchair for their travels and local trips, rather than a large, bulky full-size stroller with all the extra accessories. The smaller, lighter pushchairs are also easier to move up and down stairs, pushchairs and fit better into car boot spaces.
There are many small, light pushchairs that are suitable for babies right from birth, either by offering a lie-flat seat or with the option to add an infant car seat. The UPPAbaby Mini for example, can accept the UPPAbaby Carrycot that pops over the fabric of the seat to allow baby to sleep comfortably away from the pushchair during their daytime naps or for naps during the night. The Aer is a bit more expensive than the Minu however it offers an equivalent solution. It has a hood that is attached to the front of the seat and offers a large and comfortable space for baby to lie on their backs.
Some of the smaller pushchairs are now also equipped with a range of accessories that can make them more useful, such as shopping bags, footmuffs and parasols. These accessories can help keep baby and parent at ease during colder weather and also protect them from sun. These extras can add to the cost of a lightweight pushchair, but they’re nonetheless less expensive than a complete travel system.
For those who are looking for a stroller that folds down as small as it can be The Summer Infant 3D Lite is a great option. It can fold down to the size of a small backpack and weighs at just a little over six pounds, which makes it very easy to lift in and out of taxis or cafes. It does not have a pocket for parents (you could put a few dollars in it, but not much more) however, it does come with a footrest that can be widened and an umbrella that blocks out the sun.
They’re a good option for toddlers.
Although many parents will not consider a compact stroller as their infant’s first stroller, it might still be a good option once they’re a bit older. They’re particularly helpful if you reside in the city and rely on public transportation because they can easily squeeze through narrow spaces and tight doors. Even if you do not live in an urban area, a compact stroller can be a great option if your child does not require a travel system and you’re only able to squeeze it into a small space in your home or car.
The Silver Cross Dune 2022 foldable pushchair is an example compact, foldable pushchairs that are suitable for babies as young as. It features a 360-degree seat rotation system, so you can use it as a parent-facing or ‘world-facing’ pram depending on your toddler’s preferences. It also has an adjustable seat that can accommodate children from age 4 to. With its small, compact wheels and fold-down one-hand, it’s a breeze to maneuver through tight spaces and on dirt paths.
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is another good option. It can be used with many popular infant car seats, and it comes with a huge canopy that offers ample sun protection (although it doesn’t come with an open window). The cushioning on the seat is comfortable and easy to clean. It’s a little difficult to fold due to the fact that the handle and ring combination needs to be perfectly timed but once you get the hang of it you can use it on the go.
There are other compact pushchairs that can be used from birth, such as the Chicco Liteway and the Babyzen YOYO. The YOYO is one of the first pushchairs to feature a true compact fold and has raised the bar for other lightweight strollers. The Liteway is more expensive than the YOYO but it comes with better features and is suitable for kids up to age 4. It can be transformed into a double stroller using a bassinet and twin travel bundle. It is available in a variety of colors like grey, black, red or Air France blue.
