A Small Pushchair Is a Buggy on Wheels That Allows Your Child to Travel in a Sitting Position

A small pushchair is a small buggy on wheels that lets your child travel in a seated position. They're typically used to hop into and out of public transport or to keep in the rear of your vehicle for day trips.

Most small pushchairs can be used from 6 months. However there are a growing number of can be used from birth, if they come with a seat that is flat and/or an optional carrycot. Many also come with a great canopy and a handle bar that adjusts to accommodate tall or short caregivers.

Size

Many parents gravitate towards larger pushchairs from the beginning but for an expanding toddler who doesn't want to spend every journey in a buggy and has space issues at home or in your car boot, a compact may be the solution. These are often cheaper than larger travel systems and will last until your child no longer requires one.

A few of the smaller pushchairs have clever concertina or Z folds for a neat, square-folded package and are super light for wheels that are this big. These pushchairs are also surprisingly spacious for their size and can be taken on board the majority of airlines. Many of them have a flat seating (although some are classified as such even though they have one small recline) and the option of adding a carrycot to newborns.

Folding

Some ultra-compact pushchairs fold up so small that they're as small as the size of a handbag. This is an appealing feature, particularly for parents who are limited in their cars or who live in cities and utilize public transportation regularly. Some of the most respected brands of pushchairs are offering compact models that you can easily transport into and out of taxis and cafes. They also have models that can be taken on planes, trains and even into public transportation. Babyzen YOYO, one the first to introduce this super-smart stroller, is now joined by UPPAbaby Joolz and Cybex. They are typically concertina or folded z-folded to form a neat, square folded package. They are quite light at 6-8kg, and often cabin approved.

However, it's important to note that a tiny, folding pushchair doesn't necessarily mean an unadorned buggy even though it could be significantly cheaper than a full-size model. Many of the smaller models still provide an adequate degree of comfort, including an ample seat that is comfortable and has enough recline for toddlers, and usually many extras such as the sun canopy, footmuff and rain cover.

The Micralite by UPPAbaby, for example, features a super-slick one-hand fold, and comes in ginger, peppermint, black, or toffee. It's also super-light at under 6kg and comes with a large basket, large wheels (albeit with small ones) and a decent recline. The only downside is that there is no lock, which could be a problem for 037810 some parents. Also, the hood doesn't appear to be as big as other UPPAbaby products.

Mamas & Papas Airo is another compact model that features an innovative 360-degree seat rotation system and a fantastic protective hood. It also has a lie-flat seat that you can convert to parent-facing from birth. The newborn carrycot is priced at PS149, however it's a bit expensive.

The lightweight UPPAbaby G-Luxe is another alternative. It features a one-hand smart recline, but doesn't have the flat position. Also, it lacks a car adapter. The Babyzen YoYO Lite, which has a simpler but less-smart fold, is another good option for parents looking for an easy-to-use, super-compact buggy for city-based use.

Weight

The latest ultra-compact strollers are incredibly light, weighing only 6-8kg. They often come with a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry. They are also approved for use in cabins which means you can take them onboard planes, especially if you plan to travel frequently.

Even the case that your plans do not include frequent flights, a small stroller can be an excellent alternative if your car's boot is small, you have trouble with stairs or depend on public transportation such as trains, buses, and the Underground. These compact strollers are built to be used from birth until the time your child is at school age and are an excellent alternative to a larger, more expensive pushchair.

However, they're not made to handle rough terrain or grass that is muddy. They're a great alternative to an all-terrain travel system or budget stroller that requires air-filled tires for additional grip and durability. And they'll be a lot cheaper than a larger model! You can even pick up an affordable Micralite second-hand at a bargain price. They're often in immaculate condition, but do check for stains and missing features like a sun hood and cup holders prior to making a buy.

Safety

It's likely that the pushchair will be one of the most frequently used items for your baby Therefore, you must be attentive to the features that will make it safe and 037810 comfortable for your child. Choose a seat cushion that is comfortable and soft for your child. Also, ensure the handlebar can be adjusted to your height. You may be thinking about whether you prefer a single or linked handle, since this will affect how easy it is for you to push.

The wheels on your pushchair will also make a big difference. Smaller wheels are usually made for smooth pavements and paths while larger ones will be able to handle bumpy terrain such as trails through forests or at the beach. You may also see pushchairs marketed as 'all terrain', but this could be an overstatement because they aren't able to handle like a dedicated buggy with air-filled tyres.

For safety, most small pushchairs have an braking front and rear system to ensure you can control the direction in which you're traveling. A lot of them have a foot-operated brake that is easy to reach and a handbrake for when you're not moving. Some of the top models come with a brake button which locks both wheels. This is particularly useful for those who have jogger-style pushchairs or who frequently stop and start.

When buying a pushchair for infants from birth choose one with a flat-seating option or one that includes the carrycot. This allows newborns to lay flat, which is crucial for their spinal development. Carrycots also allow you to travel with your baby from the very beginning, which is great for those who plan to use public transport or flying frequently.

Check if the pushchair fabric can be washed by machine as it will make cleaning much simpler. If it's not, it's possible to spot clean the fabric with the combination of water and mild detergent. Some brands also offer replacement covers that come in a variety of colors. You can also purchase a footmuff to keep your baby warm in the colder winter months.
