If you're traveling with kids, a travel double stroller (site) (or pram as the Brits refer to them) can make your life much easier. These lightweight pushchairs can be folded flat to store in car boot and overhead storage compartments.

They also have features like the parent pocket, a reclined seat, and an extendable footrest. They're a great choice for long-distance trips, particularly in foreign countries.

Babyzen Yoyo is a lightweight, compact travel buggy. This pushchair is an award-winning option, and features a smooth one-handed fold that requires only the press of one button. It is very lightweight and weighs just 6kg. It folds into a bag that's about the size of a backpack.

There are many other compact pushchairs for travel, but you should go through reviews prior to purchasing to determine which is best for your family. The most important factors to consider are fold storage space as well as the weight limit and recline. You should also consider the handlebar height as some might be uncomfortable for parents who are taller or smaller.

The Joolz Micralite is another great alternative for travel. It comes with an innovative one-handed folding system and weighs just 6kg. It's a compact size, and the dimensions folded are smaller than the Cybex Libell. It also has a decent recline, and is suitable for children from to 4 years old.

A compact pushchair is a great option for urban families who reside in apartments that are small or take public transport. Many of these models can be tucked away in the hallway or in the car boot. They are light enough to be carried on the shoulders. They're also simple to unfold and bring out thanks to their compact travel stroller, one-hand folding mechanisms.

Of course it is true that not all compact fold pushchairs are equal - some have more features and capabilities than others, so do ensure you review reviews thoroughly before making the purchase. Contours Itsy, for example is among our top picks since it is almost assembled and folds to a small size with only two buttons. This model is also relatively stripped down, meaning there are no extras like cups holder or an over-sized basket to add weight and make it less convenient.

In contrast, the Ergobaby Go takes a more thoughtful approach to this type of compact pushchair, featuring a large basket and plenty of padding for baby's comfort. It also comes with a wrist strap, which is normally only found on jogging strollers. This makes it feel more secure when being pushed. It also has a spacious seat that reclines to lie flat and a sunshade for protection for babies.

Although it doesn't have the same compact fold as other models - and you may need to use a some elbow grease when unfolding - the Babyzen YOYO is a great model of a compact pushchair that can be folded using just one hand. This model is lightweight and approved for use on flights. It's an excellent choice if you travel with your child frequently.

They're great for older babies.

A compact pushchair is useful for parents with children that are no longer in the infant stage. Once their toddlers can walk, many parents choose to use a light, compact pushchair instead of a bulky, full-size stroller. The smaller and lighter pushchairs are easier to maneuver up and down stairs and are more easily incorporated into car boot spaces.

There are a variety of small light pushchairs suitable for babies right from birth, either with the option of a lie-flat seat, or the option of incorporating an infant car seat. For instance, the UPPAbaby Minu can take the UPPAbaby carrycot that can be positioned on top of the seat fabric and allows baby to sleep comfortably off the pushchair for naps during the night or daytime naps. The Aer is a bit more expensive than the Minu however it offers a similar solution. It is a hood that can be stowed on the front of seat and provides a spacious and comfortable place for baby to lay in a flat position.

Some of the smaller pushchairs are also available with a variety of accessories to make them more useful, such as shopping bags, footmuffs and parasols. These can help to keep baby and parent facing pushchair comfortable during colder weather and also protect them from the sun. These additional accessories can increase the cost of a small lightweight pushchair but they are still less expensive than a complete travel system.

For those who are seeking a pushchair that folds as small as is possible, the Summer Infant 3D Lite is an excellent choice. It folds down to the size of a small backpack, and weighs in at just over six kilograms, which makes it very easy to carry into and out of taxis and cafes. It doesn't have a pocket for parents (you might be able to fit a few dollars bills but not much more), but it does have an adjustable footrest which can be extended, as well as an umbrella that blocks out the sun.

They're ideal for toddlers.

Although many parents will not think of a compact stroller as their infant's first stroller, they can still be an excellent option once your child is an older child. They are especially useful if your family lives in a city and you depend on public transport. They can easily fit through narrow doors and narrow spaces. Even if you don't live in an urban area, a compact pushchair is an excellent option for your child if they don't require a travel system anymore and you don't have the space in your car's trunk or at home to accommodate a larger model.

The Silver Cross Dune 2022 is an excellent example of an ultra-compact folding pushchair that can be used from the time of birth. It has a 360-degree seat rotation system, so you can use it as a parent-facing or world-facing pram depending on what your child prefers. It also has an adjustable seat that can accommodate children until age four. It's easy to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces or on paths that are muddy due to its compact wheels, slim design, and one-hand folding.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a different alternative. It can be used with a wide range of popular infant car seats and it comes with a huge canopy to provide ample sun protection (although it doesn't have an open window). The cushioning on the seat is comfortable and easy to clean. It is slightly tricky to fold because the ring and handle must be precisely timed, but once you have grasped the concept you can use it when you're on the move.

There are also several other compact pushchairs that can be used from birth, including the Chicco Liteway and the Babyzen YOYO. The YOYO was among the first lightweight strollers to offer the compact fold. The Liteway stroller is more expensive, but it has better features. It's also suitable for children under four years old. It can be converted into a double pushchair stroller by adding a bassinet or twin pushchairs travel bundles. It comes in a variety of colors such as peppermint, ginger toffee grey, black, red or Air France blue.
