Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs make it simple to get on and off public transport or can be tucked away in the back of cars. They are also very compact and lightweight, making them perfect to travel with planes.

This UPPAbaby model has one of the most attractive compact folds we've seen. It has a few limitations including a small canopy, and no storage.

Ease of folding

When selecting a fold-up pushchair, it's important to think about where and how you're going to be using it. When you are travelling with your child on planes then a compact and light buggy is an ideal alternative. It will fit in the overhead compartments for luggage and is small enough to be carried over the shoulder. You should choose an infant stroller that can be folded with one hand while you hold your child. It should have a handle that is height-adjustable to ensure that caregivers and parents of different heights are able to use it comfortably. A swivel lock wheel is a must if you intend to take your baby on a hike. It will help you navigate the terrain that is uneven. Look for features like the ability to recline deep enough for comfortable naps while on the move, and an extendable sun canopy.

It is essential to test pushchairs before buying to make sure that they can be folded using one hand while holding your child. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe was rated highly by our reviewers, due to its clever mechanism which transforms into a compact unit that is smaller than an umbrella. It has a pocket to store phones and keys as well as a recliner seat which can be adjusted with just a single click.

Some of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used from birth, and include a flat seat that can be sat on or an option to add an additional carrycot, which means they're perfect for infants who need to rest during the day. If you plan to use your travel system right from the beginning, a simple click attachment system for an infant Car Seat is a must.

The smallest of the group, the Cybex Libelle, is an ideal choice for families who travel, as it folds even more compactly than its counterpart the YOYO2 (only 4cm smaller), and weighs less at under 6kg so is extremely light to carry. 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 large front swivel tire which can be able to handle any terrain.

One-Handed folding

If you're taking a stroll through the park, speeding around the city on public transport, or heading to distant shores with your baby it's a good idea to have a stroller that folds easily. It's not a good idea to fold a complex travel system and manage a child as well as all of their necessities, including keys, shopping bags and other items. This is why pushchairs and strollers that can be folded one hand are the most sought-after choice for parents.

Like the name suggests the pushchair that folds with one hand can be folded down with the push of one button or two. Certain models may require more effort, or even two hands. However, the convenience of this method makes them easy to maneuver and store. They are also lighter, making them simpler to carry around and fit into small spaces.

One of the best examples is the G-Luxe from UPPAbaby. This model has one of the easiest one-handed folds in our round-up, and features a quick and smooth operation that involves only pulling on the lever on the bottom of the chassis. It is also able to stand on its own, which makes it ideal for storing in the corner of a cafe or a foyer.

The Bugaboo Bee is another model which folds easily with one hand. It's among the first pushchairs that fold compactly. Although it is larger than other options, this model still has an easy and neat fold. It's got a variety of features, with a recline that is deep and an UPF 50+ canopy that is expandable that is designed to keep your little one protected on sunny days.

Some of these compact-folded pushchairs are designed specifically for toddlers and older infants. However, there are more options to use starting from birth. They come with a full or partial lie-flat seat and could include the option of adding an infant car seat. MFM's Gemma has travelled with her son in a Babyzen YoYO - one of the very first buggys of its kind. It is still a favorite. It's a little less compact than other buggy types, but is still easy to handle. It can be incorporated into the allowance for cabin baggage of the majority of airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds is typically extremely small and lightweight. This is especially true of umbrella-folding pushchairs that typically weigh less than 20 pounds. They're ideal for short strolls on pavements and flat surfaces and for a quick transfer between your car and homes of other people. These are also a good option if you don't wish to purchase an all-terrain stroller and prefer to use your pushchair only on flat surfaces.

Consider getting air-filled tyres if you plan to use your compact fold-up pushchair suitable from birth on rough terrain, on sand or on muddy surfaces. They're a bit heavier than regular tyres however they'll offer better grip and traction. The extra weight does add to the overall size of the pushchair though it's important to keep that in mind.

Many lightweight pushchairs were designed for older toddlers and infants that could sit up on their own however, more are suitable for babies from the age of. These include models like the Mamas & Papas Airo, which has a lie-flat seat and the option of incorporating an additional carrycot pack (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 them into a double buggy - great for taking Grandma or Grandad along.

Many of the best lightweight pushchairs are simple to use. Some pushchairs can be opened and closed by pressing one button. Some have more complicated mechanisms, but they take up little space. Some have a wrist strap that lets you keep the pushchair in place even when it's folded, and this can make a huge difference in how easy it is to move around.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is a great example of a compact stroller that's packed with features. There's also a decently-sized basket, plenty of padding and adjustable handlebars (for parents who are tall or short) and a huge canopy that protects. It's also very lightweight and comes with a convenient bag.

Compact

One of the main things you will need to be aware of when choosing a pushchair is the size of the Hauck Rapid 4D Pushchair - Compact All-round Stroller when folded. Some models have a tiny fold, while others are larger, depending on their overall dimensions and the features they come with.

The compactness of a pushchair could be an important factor when you plan to travel with it. There are models that fold to a very small size and can even be folded into a pouch, so they can be tucked away in the back of a car, or taken on an airplane as cabin baggage. If you're planning to travel often or live in a place where you can't use a large stroller, this is the perfect solution for you.

The most effective pushchairs are those that have an easy and simple folding process. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its type and has been a model of imitation since, but it still stands apart thanks to its unique features and superior design.

The Babyzen YOYO is ideal for travel because it has folds that are incredibly small and just a little larger than most hand luggage allowances. It can be utilized at the gate between the flight's departure and landing it on the way back.

For a more spacious and compact pushchair, consider the Mamas and Papas Airo. It has a comfortable seat that can recline fully and offers a good amount of padding to keep your child comfortable. It can be used from birth, with the addition a newborn cocoon pack or carrycot (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ can also be used as a lightweight stroller that can be used for daily use. It features a compact fold that can be placed upright when not in use. It's not as easy-to-use as other models, and it can create a lot more noise when you adjust its canopy. This can make your baby scream.
