Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs are easy to hop on and off public transportation or fit in the back of cars. They are also very lightweight and compact which makes them perfect for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby model is one of the most eye-catching compact folds we've seen. It has a few limitations including a small canopy and there is no storage.

Folding is easy

When you're choosing a fold-up pushchair, it's important to think about where and how you're going to be using it. If you're taking your baby on a plane or train, a lightweight and compact buggy will be a great choice. It will fit in the overhead compartments for luggage and is small enough to be carried over the shoulder. You should look for a buggy that can be folded with one hand while you hold your child. It should also have a handle that's adjustable in height, to ensure that caregivers and parents with different heights are able to use it comfortably. A lock wheel that swivels is a must if you plan to hike with your baby. It will help you navigate the terrain that is uneven. Other handy features to check include a deep recline to ensure comfortable naps on the go, and an extendable canopy that provides extra sun protection.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to fold with one hand but it's important to test it before purchasing to confirm it really is possible while holding your child. Our test subjects found the UPPAbaby GLUXE to be especially good, with its clever mechanism that folds down to a slimmer, sleeker package than an umbrella. It comes with a pocket to store phones and keys and a recliner for the seat that can be adjusted with just a single click.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used from birth and come with an easy-to-leap seat or the option of an additional carrycot, which means they're perfect for infants who want to sleep throughout the day. If you're planning to use your travel system from the start, a one-click attachment system for a car seat for infants is an essential feature.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and lightest of the bunch. It folds down even smaller than its YOYO2 counterpart the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry at only 6kg. It's also incredibly easy to use, with a straightforward one-hand fold and seat recline which is perfect for naps with toddlers. This model is a great choice for hikers, since it comes with a huge front swivel tire that is able to handle any terrain.

One-Handed folding

When you're going for a stroll in the park, whizzing around the city on public transport, or heading off to exotic shores with baby in tow, it pays to have a pushchair that folds easily. It's not a good idea to fold a complicated travel system and manage a child and all of their necessities, including keys, shopping bags, and other items. This is the reason why one-handed strollers and pushchairs are the most preferred option for parents.

As the name implies, a one-handed fold pushchair can be folded with the touch of one or two buttons. Some models require more effort, or even two hands, but the ease of the process means they are still easy to handle and put away. They are also lightweight which makes them easier to carry or store in small space.

The G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby is an excellent model. This model is among the easiest to fold with one hand in our roundup. It's as simple as pulling a lever on the chassis. It also stands on its own, making it perfect to store in the corner of a cafe or in a foyer.

The Bugaboo Bee is another model which folds easily with one hand. It's one of the first pushchairs that fold compactly. Despite being larger than the other models the Bugaboo Bee still has an easy-to-use, neat fold. It also has a range of great features, including the deep reclining seat as well as an expanded UPF50+ canopy to keep your child covered on hot days.

Some of these compact-fold pushchairs are not suitable for toddlers or older infants However, there are many models that are designed to be used from the time of birth. They come with a full or partial lie-flat seat, and can come with the option of adding an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her young son in the Babyzen YOYO which is among the original buggys of this kind and is still a favorite. It's slightly less compact fold than some other models, but it's extremely easy to maneuver and fits into the allowance for cabin luggage on a majority of airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds down is often extremely compact and light. This is especially true of umbrella-folding pushchairs, which typically weigh under 20 pounds. They're ideal for short strolls on flat surfaces and pavements as well as for a simple way to get between your car and other people's houses. They're also a good choice when you don't wish to buy an all-terrain pushchair and are comfortable with using your pushchair on flat surfaces.

Think about getting tyres that are air-filled for use with your compact folding pushchair in difficult terrain, on sand, or on muddy surfaces. They're a bit heavier than normal tyres, but they'll provide better grip and traction. It's important to keep in mind that the weight added will increase the size of your pushchair.

A majority of pushchairs that are lightweight are made for older children and toddlers who are able to sit up on their own, however there are a growing number that can be used from birth. This includes models like the Mamas & Papas Airo, which has a lie-flat seat and the option of incorporating an additional carrycot (sold separately) or an infant car seat to create an entire travel system. Some compact-folding pushchairs are designed to be used in conjunction with a stroller board to transform into a double-buggy - great for taking Grandma or Grandad along.

A lot of the top lightweight strollers are easy to use. Some are simply open or closed with the push of a button. others feature more complicated mechanisms but they still require very little space. Some pushchairs feature wrist bands that allow you to hold the chair even when it's folded. This can make it easier to maneuver.

While some lightweight pushchairs can be quite basic, the 3D Lite from Contours is a fantastic example of how a tiny stroller can be packed full of features. There's a decent-sized basket with plenty of padding, adjustable handlebar height (for parents who are tall and short) as well as a reclining seat and a huge canopy to protect. It's also light and comes in a handy bag.

Compact

One of the main things you should consider when selecting a pushchair is the size of the pushchair makes when folded. Certain pushchairs come with a compact fold, whereas others are bigger based on the overall size and features.

The compactness of a pushchair could be an important factor when you plan to travel with it. Some models can fold down to a smaller size or even a bag making them ideal for storage in the trunk of your car or carry on an airplane. This is ideal for those who travel frequently or reside in an urban area where you aren't able to carry a stroller that is larger every day.

Some of the best pushchairs to consider are those that feature a smooth, fuss-free folding process that can be completed using just one hand. The Babyzen YOYO was the first of its kind and has since been copied however it is unique due to its innovative design and its superior performance.

The Babyzen YOYO is a tiny fold and is only slightly larger than the average hand luggage allowances, which makes it perfect to travel with. It can be utilized at the gate between the flight's departure and landing it.

If you are looking for a larger, compact pushchair, look at the Mamas and Papas Airo. The seat reclines completely, and it has plenty of padding to keep your child comfortable. It can be used from birth, with the addition of the carrycot or newborn cocoon pack (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another ideal choice for a day-today light buggy that folds down to a very compact fold and can be positioned up when not in use. However, it's not as easy to operate as some other models and it can create lots of noise when you adjust the canopy, which could wake up your baby.
