Lightweight

A travel pushchair folds easily and compactly to fit into luggage or the car's boot. These strollers are designed to be used by babies from birth.

There are many travel pushchairs, so you need to choose the right one for your family. If you have a child, you might want to consider a buggy with a removable foot rest to prevent the legs of the child from hanging. When you are choosing a stroller travel it is crucial to think about the amount of storage you will require.

If you frequently travel and require a compact buggy that can fit in the cabin baggage allowance Look for models that fold down to around 48cm x43cm in size 21.5 cm - which is less than the typical size of hand luggage. A model that has an intelligent, dynamic fold is even easier to pack away, as it will be able to snap into itself as a paperback book.

A vehicle seat bundle is a different alternative. This will save you time and money by allowing you to focus on the components that are compatible. Brand bundles usually include a pushchair and a car seat that are specifically designed to be compatible in terms of design and fit. Some brands provide additional features like cup holders or a parent organizers, which are helpful when traveling.

Some brands sell additional accessories such as a newborn baby bassinet or rain cover to convert your travel pushchair to Twin pushchair pushchairs or a double buggy. These are especially useful if you have older siblings and want to ensure that they both have somewhere comfortable to sit while travelling.

Easy to fold

Travel pushchairs must be easy to fold, particularly in small spaces like the cabin of a train or airplane. The Joie Pact Pro, which features a one-handed folding mechanism that our parents test found to be extremely easy to use, is an excellent example. This makes it ideal for parents who wish to take their child on day trips, local excursions and air travel.

A travel system bundle is a different option. It combines an infant car seat with a pushchair from the same manufacturer. You can be sure the car seat will fit in your pushchair and work with the chassis you've selected for your child. These kinds of bundles can be cheaper than purchasing the items separately, but it's crucial to confirm whether the items you're looking to buy work together before making the purchase.

If you intend to use your travel stroller on rough terrain, you should choose a model with a solid base and wheels that are large enough for handling bumps and bumps. Smaller wheels can be difficult to maneuver on anything other than smooth roads. Reversible seats are useful, as your baby can face you to start with, and then turn around to look around as they get older.

Depending on the time of year you plan to travel, you'll also have to consider whether your pushchair will provide the protection against weather you require. A sunshade will protect your baby from harmful UV rays. Likewise, raincovers can stop water or snow from entering the pushchair. You should purchase a raincover that is specifically designed for the model of pushchair, not an ordinary one.

The last requirement is that the pushchair should be lightweight and compact. This is especially true for travel pushchairs which must be able to fold down to a small size. The Bugaboo Butterfly has one of the smallest folds available on the market and can be stored in overhead luggage compartments of some airlines (although not all). The Bugaboo Butterfly was a pleasant ride for our tester's parents and her toddler. It offers reclining seats that are spacious and of top quality.

Easy to Manoeuvre

If you're navigating busy bus or train stations with a sleeping baby, being able to fold and maneuver your pushchair with ease so that you can get off and on without causing any disturbance to your child is essential. Choose models that have smooth front wheels that swivel to allow you to turn and move your pushchair effortlessly.

Typically the travel pushchairs car seats have smaller wheels than other kinds of strollers to keep their weight and size down, but if you want something to take on rough terrain or a trip across the beach, choose one that has bigger wheels that are more durable to handle this kind of challenge.

Some retailers and brands offer travel systems that include car seats, pushchairs, and other items you might need. This is a great option if you already know what you want and don't want to spend hours looking for the right parts. Make sure that the components you purchase work together before purchasing any travel bundle. Some brands make this information available online or you can ask an agent for assistance.

Easy to store

If you want to fit a pushchair for travel in the boot of your car or in the overhead bin of an airplane, it must be compact and foldable. It's also beneficial when it comes with an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it with one hand. This is especially useful if your child is asleep!

Think about how often you'll use the pushchair and what terrain you will be covering when selecting one. Some travel buggies, for example are designed for city walks on smooth roads. They're not suited for use on the beach or off-road. If you're planning to travel off-road and need a more rugged buggy, ensure it is equipped with a suspension and larger wheels that can handle rough terrain.

If you are planning to use it from the time of birth, then you should consider a stroller that comes with a newborn bag. The Babyzen Yoyo2 is a great example, with a genius one-hand fold and plenty of add-ons including a newborn bassinet with a rain cover as well as the most comfortable foot muff.

Alternatively, if you know you'll use it only for holidays and short shopping trips, opt for a travel pushchair that comes with an adaptor for carseats that is attached to the chassis, so you can keep your baby in their car seat for most of the trip. A lot of travel system bundles come with car seats, but you can create your own custom bundle if you'd prefer.

Think about how often you'll make use of each item when you choose the travel set. You'll need to consider the cost of a base to attach your car seat to your pushchair and any adaptors you may need. They can be purchased online or 3 in 1 pram stores - some brands offer bundles which include all of them, making it easier to create your ideal travel system!
