You'll also find it easier to maneuver on trains or on a plane. You'll need a pushchair with a large capacity basket to fit all the clothing and other necessities.

It is available in grey, black red, toffee or toffee and is priced at a reasonable price.

The Joie Tourist is another great lightweight pushchair ideal for holiday trips. This stylish stroller comes in a beautiful shade of gray.

A lightweight pushchair must have a compact fold mechanism and be easy to carry.

The Joie Tourist is an excellent option as it folds in one hand and fit into the overhead locker of a plane. It comes with a large hood that shields your child from sun and an adjustable, comfortable handlebar.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Whether you're jet-setting for holidays or just want an easy-to-use buggy that you can use at home or when visiting with friends, a lightweight travel pushchair will meet your needs. There are plenty to pick from, including ones that come with a range of extras like a newborn bassinet, rain cover, and a leg rest for toddlers so they don't have their legs hanging. They may feel a little fragile because they have a shorter frame and a simpler suspension than buggies of the full size. However, our MFM testers found that all were manageable.

A well-constructed, lightweight pushchair for your holiday will be easy to manoeuvre and will have a large storage basket so you can take lots of necessities with you. It should be able of standing on its own when folded, so that it can be pushed through airports and into the car's boot without taking up space for luggage. The ability to fold and unfold using one hand is a huge benefit, especially if you're travelling alone. You'll need a stroller that you can use on and off escalators and going up and down stairs.

Our test subjects tried it out on a daily basis, from quick dashes to the shops to park strolls and longer trips visiting relatives and friends 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 fully-coverage hood to keep rain out and an integrated cup holder that can fit an insulated travel cup. It's a great pushchair for toddlers and babies from birth until 4 years old.

It's so easy to open and close, even when you are in a rush or have a lot on your hands. It's also a comfortable pushchair that reclines and is suitable for infants and children. However, it lacks the extra support that a carrycot or bassinet provides for infants and is not suitable for use as a travel buggy.

Our rigorous testing process blends the expertise of our panel and our consumer research to produce a thorough buyer's guide. We have narrowed down our list of strollers by not including those that weigh more than 7kg and cannot fold up in a compact manner. We've also made sure that the products we've selected are at a range of prices that will suit all budgets. This lets you choose the ideal travel pushchair that meets your needs.

Easy to store

You'll be into and out of trains and taxis and hopping up and down escalators and stairs with your child. Therefore, it's important to select a lightweight pushchair you can easily transport and store. It is recommended to choose a pushchair that folds down and rise up when opened, or collapsed into flat foldable so that it doesn't occupy a lot of space in your accommodation. If you have to store your parent facing pushchair when it's not in use, a basket that is freestanding can be useful.

The Graco EeZeFold is a great option if you're looking for a stroller to travel with that's suitable for babies 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 a car seat so you can use it as part of a travel set-up from newborn to toddler. And there are many accessories like a bassinet, wheeled boards or leg rests for tired toddlers.

During our tests it was easy to maneuver and navigate cobbles and bumpy roads effortlessly. It was extremely robust for a light and compact buggy. The only drawback was that the seat didn't recline, but considering it's intended for travel this isn't a huge deal. The handle bar was fixed at a very high height and wasn't very adjustable. However it was comfortable for tall and short adults during our tests.
