Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs are a breeze to carry on public transport or fit in the back of your car. They also tend to be extremely compact and lightweight which makes them ideal for traveling by plane.

This UPPAbaby is one of the most compact folds that we've ever seen. However, it has some limitations, such as a small canopy and there is no storage.

Folding is easy

When choosing a fold up pushchair, you must think about where and how you'll be using it. If you're planning to travel with your baby on a plane, a compact, lightweight buggy is a good option as it can be tucked into the overhead compartments for luggage and is usually small enough to be carried on your shoulder when unfolded. Find a single-handed fold that is easy to operate while holding your baby and a handle that can be adjusted to height so parents and carers of different heights can comfortably use it. If you're planning on hiking with baby the swivel lock wheel is essential for manoeuvring over uneven terrain. Other features worth a look include a deep recline for comfortable naps on the go and a canopy that can be extended that provides extra sun protection.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to be folded in one-hand however, it's a good idea to test it before you buy to ensure it's actually possible while also being able to hold your child. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe was reviewed highly by our testers, thanks to its clever mechanism that concertinas into a package that is smaller than an umbrella. It comes with a pocket to keep phones and keys, and a seat recliner that can be adjusted with just a single click.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used starting at birth and offer a lie-flat seat or the option for an additional carrycot, which means they're ideal for young babies who want to sleep throughout the daytime. If you're planning to use your travel system from the beginning, a one click attachment system for an Infant Car Seat is essential.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and lightest of the group. It folds down even smaller than its counterpart, the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry at just 6kg. It is also very easy to use, with a one-hand fold and the seat can recline to allow for naps for toddlers. This model is a great option for hikers, as it comes with a large front swivel tire that can be able to handle any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

If you're taking a stroll in the park, whizzing around town on public transport or heading off to exotic shores with baby in tow, it pays to have a pushchair that folds effortlessly. It's not ideal to fold a complicated travel system while trying to manage a child and all of their essentials, like keys, shopping bags and other things. This is why pushchairs that are one-handed are the most preferred choice for parents.

As the name suggests, a one-handed fold pushchair can be collapsed with just the push of one or two buttons. Some models may require more effort, or two hands. However, the convenience of this process makes them easy to handle and store. They are also lighter, making them simpler to carry around and fit in small spaces.

The G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby is an excellent model. This model features one of the most simple one-handed folds we've seen in our round-up. It has an easy and smooth operation that requires just pulling on an incline at the base of the chassis. It stands in its own way when folded,, which makes it ideal to store in the corner of a cafe, or in a foyer.

Another model that features an easy, one-handed fold is the Bugaboo Bee. It's among the first pushchairs with a compact fold. While it's larger than other options the Bugaboo Bee still has an easy-to-use, sleek fold. It also has a number of great features, including an incredibly comfortable seat that reclines and an expandable UPF50+ canopy to ensure your child is protected on hot days.

Some of these pushchairs are only suitable for toddlers or older children However, there are numerous options that are designed to be used as early as birth. They have a complete 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 son in the Babyzen YOYO, which is among the first buggys of this type and still a favorite. It's slightly smaller fold than others, but it's extremely easy to maneuver and fits into the allowance for cabin luggage on most airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds down, it occupies a small space, and is often extremely light. This is especially true for umbrella-folded pushchairs that weigh less than 20 pounds. They're ideal for short strolls on flat surfaces and pavements and for a quick transfer between your vehicle and other people's houses. They're also a great option for those who don't want to buy an all-terrain buggy but are content with your pushchair on flat surfaces.

If you want to fold a compact pushchair on uneven ground, or on muddy or sandy surfaces, think about getting an air-filled tyre. They're a little heavier than regular tyres however they'll provide more traction and grip. It's important to note that the weight added will increase the size of your pushchair.

Many of the lightweight pushchairs were made for older toddlers and infants that can sit up independently however, more are suitable from birth. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have an area that can be laid flat and can be paired with a car seat for infants or additional carrycots (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers can be converted into double buggys by using an accompanying stroller and pushchair board. This is a great option for Grandma and Grandad.

Many of the best lightweight strollers are easy to use. Some are simply open or closed at the touch of a button, while others have more intricate mechanisms, but they all take up very little space. Some even have a strap on the wrist that allows you to hold of the pushchair while it's folded, and this could make a significant difference in how easy it is to move around.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is an excellent example of a compact stroller that's packed with features. There's also a substantial basket, lots of padding, adjustable handlebars (for parents who are tall or short), and a large protective canopy. It's also light and comes in a handy bag.

Compact

One of the primary things you need to consider when selecting the right pushchair is the size of the pushchair when folded. Some pushchairs are very compact fold, while others are more spacious based on the overall size and features.

It is also essential to be compact if you plan to travel with your pushchair. There are models that fold down to the smallest size, and even into a pouch, so they can be easily stashed away in the boot of a car or carried on an airplane as baggage in the cabin. If you plan to travel frequently or live in a place where you can't use a large stroller, this is the perfect option for you.

The most desirable pushchairs are those with easy, hassle-free folding process that can be completed with just one hand. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its type and has been imitated since, but it still stands apart thanks to its clever features and superior performance.

The Babyzen YOYO is ideal for travel as it has an extremely tiny and is only slightly bigger than the average allowance for hand luggage. It can be carried to the gate and used during the time between the boarding process and getting your flight.

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

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another great option for a day-to-day lightweight buggy that has an extremely compact fold that can be positioned up when not in use. It's not as user-friendly as other models, and it's able to create a lot more noise when you adjust its canopy. This could cause your baby to wake up.
