Choosing a Lightweight Holiday Pushchair

If you're traveling or are replacing your buggy, the right lightweight travel stroller will make your journey effortless. Our test group searched for a stroller that was light and easy to fold but also sturdy enough for everyday use.

They also wanted something that would fit in the limited space of planes, trains and boats.

Lightweight

It is important to travel with children and use a compact pushchair. It's easier to transport and take up less space in your accommodation. It will also be easier to maneuver on the train or plane. It is essential to have a pushchair that has a large basket that can hold all your clothing and other necessities. It should also have locking swivel wheels that are able to tackle smooth and rough terrain.

One of the lightest holiday pushchairs we've tested is the Babyzen Yoyo2. It has a slim frame that is curved and a high-quality mono-colour fabric. It comes with a thick, hooded hood to shield your child from the sun, as well as a cup holder for drinks. It can be folded using one hand. It is available in black, red or toffee. It is also available in grey, and is extremely affordable.

Another great lightweight holiday pushchair is the Joie Tourist. This stylish stroller is available in a beautiful shade of gray. It's also extremely lightweight, weighing just 6kg, and folds down to the size of an average suitcase. It's ideal for parents who require a pushchair that's easy to travel with. It can also be used as a stroller with the seat reclined.

If you're planning to travel with twins, consider a lightweight double stroller, such as the Mountain Buggy nano duo. It's the smallest, most lightweight and affordable double pushchair that is available. It's easy to fold and unfold, and comes with a large storage basket. It has a large hood, locking swivel wheels and can handle more rough terrain.

A well-designed, lightweight pushchair should also feature a compact folding mechanism, and should be easy to carry on your shoulders. This will make it easier to carry in taxis or buses, trains and trains and to travel up and down stairs and escalators with your child in tow. The Joie Tourist is an excellent alternative because it can fold into one hand and then tucked into the overhead lockers of planes. It also has a huge hood to shield your child from the sun and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A compact travel buggy is perfect for those who are traveling or simply want something light to use in the home and when visiting family. There are plenty of options, including those which come with a variety of accessories, like an infant bassinet, a rain cover, or toddler legrest so that their legs don't hang. A lot of them have a smaller frame and a simpler suspension than other full-sized pushchairs buggies They can appear a bit fragile, however our MFM reviewers found them all to be easy to handle.

A compact pushchair that is easily maneuverable will have a large storage basket so you can bring all your essentials with you. It must be able to stand on its own when folded, so it can be moved through airports and into the car's boot without taking up space for luggage. The ability to fold and unfold using one hand is an enormous advantage, especially for those traveling on your own. You'll need a stroller you can use on and off escalators as well as up and down the stairs.

The MFM reviews found that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to navigate and, even fully loaded, it felt solid enough to stand up to cobblestones and roads that are uneven. It's also very easy to use on public transport and easily fits in the racks at the end of trains (it can be stored with the seat still attached). It is suitable for babies as young as and is available in a variety colors and a variety of accessories, including a newborn bassinet as well as a raincover and a footmuff. It's also available as a twin travel bundle.

Folding is simple

The Britax Holiday is a lightweight and compact pushchair that folds down to fit into the overhead storage area or in the trunk of a car. It's also cabin-friendly for easy air travel and you can carry it on your shoulder using a handy strap that is integrated. It's not easy to get used to initially but once you get the hang of it it's an ideal stroller for short trips.

Our test participants tested it on a daily basis, from quick dashes to the shops to park walks and longer trips to visit friends and family abroad. They loved how manoeuvrable it was in any environment and how easy it was to fold and carry. It has a huge shopping basket, a full-coverage hood that protects against rain and a cup holder that fits a travel mug. It's a great pushchair to toddlers and infants from birth until 4 years older.

We love that it's so simple to open and close, even if you're in a rush or have hands full with kids. It's also a comfortable pushchair to drive and recline feature is simple for children to use. However, it does lack the additional support that a bassinet or carrycot offers newborns and is not suitable for use as a buggy for travel.

Our rigorous testing process combines the knowledge of our panel and our research on consumers to provide a comprehensive buyer's guide. We have narrowed down our list of strollers not including those that weigh more than 7kg, and that can't be folded compactly. We have also selected products that are available at different price points to accommodate various budgets. This lets you find a travel pushchair that meets your needs.

Easy to store

When travelling with baby you're often going into and out of taxis, trains and tubes and up and down escalators or pushchairs stairs so it's crucial to choose an infant stroller that is light and can easily maneuver and store. Choose one that folds down to a small size and is able to stand when opened, or pops into an easy flat fold so that it takes up less space in your home. If you have to store the pushchair when it's not in use, a freestanding storage basket is a good option.

The Graco EeZeFold can be a great option if you're looking for a stroller to travel with that's suitable from birth. It has a smart compact fold and hood as well as a rain cover that protects your little one from the sun. It's also compatible with car seats which means you can use it as part of a travel set-up from newborn to toddler, and there are many accessories like a bassinet or a wheelsed boards, or leg rests for tired toddlers.

In our testing, it was easy to maneuver and tackled cobbles as well as bumpy roads, and some large kerbs with ease. It didn't feel heavy at all, which is an achievement for a buggy this small and lightweight. The only drawback is that the seat does not recline. However, as it's intended to travel it's not a big deal. The handle bar was fixed at a very high height and wasn't much adjustable. However it was comfortable for both tall and short adults in our tests.
