Choosing a Lightweight Holiday Pushchair

If you're planning to jet off or replacing your existing buggy to take on a trip, picking the best travel pushchair (Going Listed here) that is lightweight will ensure that your trip is enjoyable. Our reviewers were looking for a stroller which was lightweight and easy to fold but also durable enough for daily use.

They also wanted something that was cabin friendly and would fit in the limited space on trains, planes and boats.

Lightweight

It is important to travel with children and to have a lightweight pushchair. This means it's easy to carry around and will take up less space in your accommodations. It will also be easier to maneuver on the train or plane. It is essential to have a pushchair with a large capacity basket to hold all the clothes and other essentials. It should have locks that allow swivel wheels to handle both smooth and rough terrain.

One of the most lightweight holiday pushchairs we've tried is the Babyzen Yoyo2. It has a small, curved frame with high-quality monochrome fabric. It comes with a thick hood that can shield your child from the sun and a handy cup holder to hold drinks. It can also be folded using just one hand. It is available in black, red or toffee. It is also available in grey, and is affordable.

Another excellent lightweight pushchair for holiday use is the Joie Tourist. It is a stylish-looking stroller that is available in a gorgeous shade of grey. It's also extremely light, weighing only 6kg. It can be folded into a size that is comparable to a suitcase. It's ideal for parents who need an easy pushchair to travel with. It can even be used as a pram with its seat that reclines!

If you're planning to travel with twins, you should consider a light double stroller such as the Mountain Buggy nano duo. It is the smallest, lightest, and cheapest double pushchair on the market. It is easy to fold and unfold, and comes with a large storage bin. It also has a large hood and locking swivel wheels to handle rougher terrain.

A lightweight pushchair should also come with an easy fold mechanism and be easy to carry. This allows you to easily transport your baby in taxis buses, trains and up and down escalators or stairs. 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 comes with a large hood that protects your child from the sun and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to Manoeuvre

If you're traveling for a holiday or just want an easy-to-use buggy that can be used for home use and when visiting friends, a light travel pushchair ticks the box. There are a variety of options, including ones that come with a variety of extras, such as baby bassinets and a rain cover, or a toddler legrest so that their legs don't dangle. Most often, they have a smaller frame and a simpler suspension than the other buggies, they can be a bit flimsy, however our MFM reviewers found them to be manageable.

A high-quality, lightweight pushchair for your holiday will be easy to maneuver and come with an ample storage basket so you can take lots of necessities with you. It should be able to stand on its own when folded so that it can be easily carried through airports and in the trunk of a car without taking up space for luggage. The ability to fold and unfold with one hand is a major advantage, especially for those travelling alone. You'll also want to find a stroller that's able to go up and down stairs and on and off the escalators.

The MFM reviews found that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to maneuver and, even when fully loaded, it was solid enough to withstand cobblestones and uneven roads. It's also very easy to use on public transport and fits easily in the racks at the end of trains (it can be stored with its seat still attached). It is suitable for babies as young as it comes in a selection of colors and a range of add-ons including a baby bassinet as well as a raincover and a footmuff. Also available as a twin travel bundle.

Easy to fold

The Britax Holiday is extremely light and super compact and is ideal for use as a light pushchair since it folds down to a small size that can be tucked away in overhead storage, or even the car boot. It's also cabin-friendly to make air travel easy and you can put it on your shoulder with an strap that is integrated. It's not easy to use initially but once you've gotten the hang of it it's an ideal stroller for those on-the-go trips.

Our testers put it to the test on daily outings from quick trips to the shops to park strolls and longer trips visiting relatives and friends abroad. It was easy to fold and carry and was able to be moved around in any environment. It comes with a large shopping basket, a spacious hood for rain protection and a handy cup holder that's a good fit for a travel mug. This pushchair is perfect for toddlers and infants from birth to four years.

We love the fact that it's so simple to open and close, even if you're in a hurry or your hands are filled with children. It's also a easy pushchair to operate and the recline function is easy for toddlers to use. It does not provide the additional support that a carrycot or bassinet offers for infants, and it is not suitable as an infant travel buggy.

We have a thorough testing process that blends the expert knowledge of our panel with our consumer research to create an exhaustive buying guide. We have narrowed down our list of strollers by excluding those that are heavier than 7kg, and that can't fold down in a compact manner. We've also ensured that the items we've chosen are priced in a variety of prices that will suit all budgets. This allows you to choose the ideal travel pushchair that meets your requirements.

Easy to store

You'll be hopping in and out of trains and taxis, and going up and down escalators and stairs with your baby. It's therefore important to choose a lightweight pushchair you can easily transport and store. Find one that folds to an incredibly small size and then stands up when open, or pops into an incredibly compact flat fold, so it takes up less space in your living space. A freestanding storage basket is useful when you need to store the folding pushchair away when it's not in use.

The Graco EeZeFold is great option if you're looking for a stroller that is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with an easy fold, a hood that can protect your child from sun and a rain cover. It also works with car seats, so you can use it from infant to toddler. There are many add-ons like a bassinet, or an adjustable board with wheels for tired toddlers.

During our tests, it was incredibly easy to steer and stomp through cobbles and bumpy roads as well as some large kerbs with ease. It was quite sturdy for a lightweight and compact buggy. The only drawback was that the seat didn't recline, but considering it's designed to travel, this shouldn't be a problem. The handle bar was fixed at a high level, and was not very adjustable. However it was comfortable for tall and short adults in our tests.
