Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs make it simple to get on and off public transportation or can be tucked away in the back of the car. They are also extremely compact and lightweight which makes them ideal for traveling by plane.

This UPPAbaby has one of the smallest folds we've seen. But it comes with some limitations, including a small canopy and lack of storage.

Easy folding

Consider where and how you will use the collapsible pushchair prior to deciding on one. If you're taking your child on a plane, a compact and lightweight buggy is an ideal alternative. It can fit into the overhead luggage compartments and is small enough to be able to be carried over the shoulder. Find a single-handed fold that is easy to operate while holding your baby and a handle that is height-adjustable so that carers and parents of different heights can comfortably use it. If you're going to be hiking with your baby it is essential to maneuver over uneven terrain. Other useful features to consider include a deep recline for easy naps on the go and a canopy that can be extended that offers sun protection.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to fold with one hand but it's important to test this out prior to purchasing to make sure it's actually possible while also holding your child. Our test subjects found the UPPAbaby G-Luxe to be particularly good with its clever mechanism that combines into a slimline package smaller than an umbrella. It comes with a pocket to store keys and phones, and a seat recliner which can be adjusted with one touch.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used from birth and offer a flat seat that can be sat on or the option of an additional carrycot, which means they're perfect for infants who prefer to rest during the day. If you're planning to use your travel system from the start, a one-click attachment system for an infant car seat is also an essential feature.

The tiniest of the group is the Cybex Libelle, is an outstanding option for jet-setting families because it folds smaller than the YOYO2 (only 4cm less) and weighs less than 6kg, making it extremely light to carry around. It's also super-easy to use, with a simple one-hand fold and recline that is ideal for toddler napping. This model is a great choice for hikers, since it has a large front swivel tire that is able to take on any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

It is always recommended to have a folding pushchair, whether you are out on a stroll or using public transport or flying to a distant country with your child. It's not ideal to have to fold a complicated travel system and manage the child and all their essentials, such as keys, shopping bags and other things. This is why pushchairs that are one-handed are the most preferred option for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be collapsed by pressing one or more buttons. Some models might require more effort, or even two hands. However, the convenience of this method makes them easy to maneuver and to store. They are also lightweight and easy to transport or store in tight space.

A good example is the G-Luxe from UPPAbaby. This model is one of the easiest to fold with one hand in our roundup. It only requires pulling a lever on the chassis. It is also able to stand on its own, making it ideal to store in the corner of a cafe or foyer.

Another model with simple, one-handed folding is the Bugaboo Bee. It's one of the original compact-fold pushchairs and despite being bigger than some other options, it still has an elegant, simple to use fold. It comes with a wide array of features, too such as a deep recline and an UPF 50+ canopy that can be expanded that is designed to keep your little one safe on hot days.

Some of these compact-folded pushchairs are only designed for toddlers and older infants. However there are many options to use starting from the time of birth. These pushchairs come with seats that can be completely or partially lie-flat and some even come with an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her young son in the Babyzen YOYO, which is among the original buggys of this type and still a firm favourite. It's a little less compact than other buggy types but it's still very easy to maneuver. It can be incorporated into the baggage allowances for cabin baggage on many airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds down is often extremely small and lightweight. This is especially true for umbrella-folded pushchairs that weigh less than 20 pounds. They are ideal for short walks on flat surfaces and pavements as well as for a simple way to get between your vehicle and homes of other people. They're also a good choice if you don't want to invest in a proper all-terrain pushchair and are comfortable with your pushchair on flat surfaces.

You should consider buying tyres with air If you intend to use your compact folding pushchair easy fold in uneven terrain, on sand or on slippery surfaces. These are a bit heavier than regular tyres however they'll provide more grip and traction. It's important to keep in mind that the extra weight will add to the size of your buy pushchair.

Many lightweight pushchairs were designed for toddlers and older infants who can sit independently, but more are now suitable from the age of. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have a lie-flat seating area and can be paired with an infant car seat or a carrycot (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers can be converted into double buggys with the help of a stroller board. This is a great option for Grandma and Grandad.

A lot of the top strollers that are lightweight are simple to use. Some are open and closed with the push chair of a button, while others have more intricate mechanisms but they still take up very little space. Some pushchairs have wristbands that allow you to hold the pushchair even when it's folded. This makes it easier to maneuver.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is an excellent example of a compact stroller 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 massive protective canopy. Additionally, it's extremely light and comes with a handy carry bag.

Compact

When choosing a stroller, you should think about the size of the stroller when folded. Certain pushchairs come with a compact fold, while others are bigger based on the overall dimensions and features.

It is also essential to be compact for those who plan to travel with your baby. There are models that fold down to a very small size and can even be folded into a bag, so they can be easily stashed in the trunk of a car, or taken on an airplane as cabin baggage. This is a great option when you plan to travel frequently or reside in a city area where you can't use a larger stroller daily.

Some of the most effective pushchairs to consider are those that have a smooth, fuss-free folding process that can be performed by using only one hand. The Babyzen YOYO was the first of its kind and has since been copied however it is unique due to its clever details and superior performance.

The Babyzen YOYO features an impressively small pushchair fold that is slightly larger than the average hand luggage allowances, making it perfect for travel. It can even be taken to the airport and used during the time between the boarding process and getting your flight.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is a compact pushchair which offers more space. This is a fantastic seat that can recline fully and offers a good amount of padding to ensure your child is comfortable. It can be used at birth, if you want to, with the addition a baby cocoon pack or carrycot (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another great option for a day-to-day lightweight buggy that has a very compact fold and can be set upright when it's not in use. However it's not as simple to operate as some other models and can produce quite a bit of noise when you adjust the canopy, which can wake up your baby.
