Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs make it easy to get on and off public transportation or fit into the back of a car. They are also extremely compact and lightweight, making them ideal for plane travel.

This UPPAbaby model has one of the most appealing compact folds we've seen. However, it has some limitations, including a small canopy and a lack of storage.

Ease of Folding

Consider where and how you'll use the pushchair before choosing one. If you're taking your baby on planes or train, a lightweight and compact buggy will be a great option. It can fit into the overhead compartments for luggage and is small enough to be carried on the shoulder. You should look for a buggy that folds easily with one hand while you hold your child. It must have a handle that's adjustable in height so that caregivers and parents of different heights are able to use it comfortably. A lock that can swivel is essential if you are planning to hike with your child. It will assist you to navigate through uneven terrain. Look for features like a deep recline to allow for comfortable naps while you're moving and an extendable sun canopy.

It is important to test the pushchairs prior to purchasing them to be sure they can be folded with 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 that can keep phones and keys as well as a recliner seat that can be adjusted by one touch.

The smallest fold-up pushchairs can be used as early as birth. They come with an easy-to-leap seat or carrying cots. This is perfect for babies who like to sleep throughout the day. If you plan to utilize your travel system from the beginning, a one click attachment system for your infant Car Seat is a must.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and lightest of the bunch. It folds smaller than its YOYO2 counterpart the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry at only 6kg. It is also easy to use with a one-hand fold, and the seat reclines for toddler naps. This model is also a good choice for hikers as it has an extra-large front swivel wheel that can tackle any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

If you're taking a stroll in the park, or cruising around the city on public transport, or heading off to exotic shores with your baby, it pays to have a stroller that folds easily. It's not a good idea to fold a complex travel system and manage a child and 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 preferred option for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be collapsed by pressing a button or buttons. Some models require more effort, or even two hands, but the convenience of the process makes them still easy to handle and put away. They are also light, making it easier to carry around or store in small space.

The G-Luxe from UPPAbaby is a great example. This model is one of the easiest to fold with one hand in our roundup. It's all it takes is pulling a lever on the chassis. It also stands on its own, making it ideal for storing in a corner of a café or foyer.

Another model with an easy, one-handed fold is the Bugaboo Bee. It is one of the first pushchairs with a compact fold. Although it is larger than the other models the Bugaboo Bee still has an easy and compact fold. It has a great range of features, such as a deep recline and an UPF 50+ canopy that can be expanded designed to keep your child covered on sunny days.

Some of these compact-fold pushchairs are only suitable for older babies or toddlers however, there is numerous models 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 incorporating an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her young son in the Babyzen YOYO which is one of the original buggys of this kind and still a favorite. It's a little smaller fold than others, but it's very easy to handle and fits in the cabin luggage allowance on the majority of airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds down it takes up a tiny space, and is usually very light as well. This is especially true for umbrella-folding pushchairs that typically weigh under 20 pounds. They are perfect for short walks on flat surfaces or pavements and for transporting between your vehicle and other' houses. They're also a good option when you don't wish to purchase an all-terrain pushchair and are comfortable with using your pushchair on flat surfaces.

You should consider buying tyres with air for use with your compact folding pushchair in rough terrain, on sand or on rough surfaces. These are a bit heavier than standard tyres but they'll provide better traction and grip. It's important to keep in mind that the extra weight will increase the size of your pushchair.

Many of the lightweight pushchairs were made for older infants and toddlers that could sit up on their own however, more are suitable from the time of birth. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have a seating area that is flat and can be combined with an infant car seat or an additional carrycot (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers are able to be converted into double buggys using an accompanying stroller board. This is great for Grandma and Grandad.

A lot of the top lightweight strollers are easy to use. Some are open and closed at the touch of a button. others have more intricate mechanisms but they still 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. This can make a huge difference to the ease of maneuver.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is a fantastic example of a compact stroller packed with features. There's also a decently-sized basket, plenty of padding and adjustable handlebars (for tall or short parents), and a large canopy that protects. It's also extremely light and comes in a handy bag.

Compact

One of the primary things you should consider when selecting a pushchair is how compact it will be when folded. Some pushchairs are very compact fold, whereas others are larger depending on their overall size and features.

The compactness of a pushchair can be a factor to consider when you plan to travel with it. There are models that fold to a very small size and can even be folded into a bag, so they can be easily tucked away in the boot of a car, or taken on the plane as baggage in the cabin. If you are planning to travel frequently or live in a city where you don't have a stroller every day it is the best solution for you.

The most effective pushchairs are those that have an easy, simple fold process. The Babyzen YOYO was the first of its kind and has since been copied, but it still stands out due to its unique design and superior functionality.

The Babyzen YOYO is a compact fold and is slightly bigger than most hand luggage allowances, making it perfect for travel. It can be used at the airport between taking off and catching it on the way back.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is a compact pushchair that offers more space. The seat reclines fully and it has plenty of padding to make your child comfortable. It can be used as early as birth, with the addition of the carrycot or newborn pushchair cocoon pack (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another ideal choice for a day-today lightweight buggy that has an extremely compact fold that can be positioned up when not in use. However, it's not as easy to use as some models and can make quite a bit of noise when you adjust the canopy, which could awake your baby.
