Compact pushchair suitable from birth Reviews

A compact stroller that is lightweight will be a great choice for those who often travel by car or public transport. These strollers are easy to fold and store, and less likely to be damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers are light and convenient and easy to maneuver over cobblestones. Plus, they can be easily stored in the overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs fold up easily and are easy to carry. They are usually easy to fold in one hand and take up less space when folded than full size buggies. This makes them an excellent option for those with limited storage space in your home or you are worried about space limitations when travelling, especially by plane.

Some also have a very small footprint when closed which makes it easier to maneuver through tight spaces. They are the best choice if you reside in an apartment, or just want something nimble and light for walking around the day. However, they can be uncomfortable for older children if you require them to extend their legs to get around.

There are a myriad of types of folds available, some can be done with one hand, while others require two hands or a bit more effort. Some are designed to fit in the baggage allowance for cabins on many flights, and can be carried on your shoulder with straps or handles.

Silver Cross Dune is our most loved lightweight pushchair. The Silver Cross Dune is a compact pushchair that comes with all the features and thoughtful design that you would expect from a brand with a long history. It also features an easy to fold, and, similar to the Contours Itsy, it comes in the box fully assembled. It's a great option for parents who are planning to travel extensively with their baby and can be tucked away in most car boots and small pushchair (new content from Plantsg) trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It bridges the two types of pushchairs as a fully-functioning system with nimbleness. It can be utilized from birth in a parent-facing mode and then switched to world-facing as your child gets older. It also comes with a comfortable recline that is nap-worthy. It's not as compact as the Libelle however it's smaller and more comfortable to use on flat surfaces. It's not ideal for rough terrain, however. The other benefit is the low cost and outstanding tests of durability.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel buggy, folding down so small that it fits into an overhead luggage compartment and is so light that you'll barely feel it in your car boot. It's also a great stroller to use for everyday use. Our tester Hollie discovered that it was easy to steer, even when trying to manage a toddler. She loved the adjustable handle, lockable wheels and the reclined seat. However, she did note that it was not particularly comfortable. She also likes the fact that you can add additional features such as a reversible and washable seat cover, rain cover and the foot muff.

The Babyzen YoYO is a different, impressively compact foldable pushchair. It's not as sleek as the Cybex Libelle, but it's nonetheless a great pack when folded. It can easily be inserted into and out of trunks and boots. It also has more newborn pushchair options than some other travel buggies, with the option to add an infant cot or bassinet, plus a bespoke ride-on board for older kids and a tandem double seat adapter.

It's not the smallest buggy for driving on uneven or rough terrain, and its tinier wheels don't perform as well as the other models we have tested. However, it's a very manoeuvrable pushchair and the YOYO does an excellent job of navigating narrow shopping aisles and muddy pathways. It's an excellent choice for a city break or holiday.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that offers many features at surprisingly low prices. It folds down to the size of a large backpack and weighs just 6kg, so it's an ideal travel buggy to transport on trains and planes. It is also very easy to steer, and our MFM test rider Matt found it an absolute joy to steer even with a toddler who was heavy was riding along. The hood is another benefit, since it can be raised to provide shade and protection from sun and rain. It's perfect for nap time. The only downside is that it has no under-seat storage, and you'll have to carry or delicately drape a bag on the handlebar (against our expert advice!). You can also purchase an additional changing bag holder to make it a fantastic holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on small pushchairs might look small, but they often are surprisingly efficient, navigating narrow shopping aisles or rough terrain with ease. The Micralite is a great example. Despite having small wheels, it can navigate bumpy roads easily and sharply turn on narrow roads and even handle light gravel with little problem. It also has a smooth steering system that is easy to steer with just one hand. And it folds down into a very neat and compact size that is easily fit into its carrying bag.

The majority of compact pushchairs and strollers were created for older babies or toddlers. However increasing numbers of them offer an option to lie flat or the option to add a carrycot (or car seat) to allow them to be used from the moment of birth. These Z fold buggies are typically light, weighing only 6-8kg. They are also accepted for use in cabins by a number of airlines. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on many occasions and has found it easy to use and store.

If you're looking for a compact fold then the YOYO is a fantastic choice. It was the first buggy that offered this feature. It's still a popular choice for parents, with many choosing it over its competitors thanks to its clever details and its superior performance. It's the ideal choice for frequent travellers particularly if you wish to avoid the stress of waiting at baggage collection and instead take your stroller with you on the plane.

The YOYO also comes in a very compact size, which can be stuffed into the bag with ease, and even plenty of room. It's a great choice for frequent travelers, especially those who have to pack lots of things into their suitcase. It's also extremely adaptable - you can purchase a range of optional accessories to it like baby bassinets, a bespoke ride-on board, and a twin travel bundle to turn it into a tandem. Additionally, you can purchase a hood and rain cover for added security.

Confortable

Hollie Our reviewer, Hollie, recommends the Silver Cross model to parents seeking a light and compact pushchair up to 25kg. It's easy-to-use and fits into the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclining seat are among the best we've seen in our tests. It has a parent's tray as well as the storage basket which can be used to fit a small backpack and great sun-cover options.

Some compact strollers fold so small that they're cabin approved for air travel. This makes them perfect when you frequently travel or are limited in your car boot. They are usually lightweight so they're easy for you to carry. They are also able to be used in conjunction with a travel system, when you choose a model that has a lie-flat seating option or an infant 'pod'.

A key thing to note when looking for a travel buggy is that not all models are created in the same way. Some brands boast that their compact fold pushchairs from birth can fold with just one hand, while others require more of an involvement or a couple of hands to figure out how to get it folded. Examine if the seat reclines. Some are completely flat, while others have a slight recline. This could be okay for toddlers, but not suitable for younger children.

Check that the model you select is suitable for your travel plans. For example when your destination is hot, you should look for a model with a mesh fabric that's vented to keep your child cool. If you're heading somewhere that's wet or windy it is important to ensure that the pushchair is equipped with an appropriate cover. Generic covers will not fit and could let water in.
