Compact Pushchair Reviews

A compact stroller that is lightweight will be the ideal choice for those who often travel by car or public transport. These strollers are simpler to fold and store, and they're less likely to get damaged by baggage handlers.

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

Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs are easy to carry and, more importantly, they are easy to fold. They are often easy to fold with one hand and take up less room when folded than larger buggies. They are a good choice if you don't have much space in your home, or if you're worried about space restrictions when traveling.

Some models have a smaller footprint when they are closed, which makes them perfect for spaces that are tight. These are the best pushchair for newborn choice when you live in an apartment or need something light and agile for walking around. However, they may be uncomfortable for older children if you require them to extend their legs in order to get around.

There are a range of different fold types available on the market and some are truly one-handed and others requiring a little more effort or two hands to complete. Some are designed to fit within the baggage allowances for cabin baggage on a variety of flights, or can be carried on your shoulder with straps or handles.

Silver Cross Dune is our favorite lightweight pushchair. It has all the sophisticated design and thoughtful features that you would expect from this heritage brand however, it comes in a more compact package. It comes with an easy-to-use fold, and like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled inside the box. It's a great choice for parents who are planning to travel extensively with their child and can be tucked away in the majority of car boot and trunk spaces.

Another good option is the Cybex Mios, which straddles both categories of pushchair as an all-purpose travel system that has agility and a compact fold. It can be used in parent-facing mode right from birth and switched to world-facing mode as your child gets older. It also has an excellent recline feature that's nap-friendly. It isn't quite as compact as the Libelle, but it's smaller dimensions and is much easier to use on flat surfaces. It's not suited for rough terrain. The other benefit is a very affordable cost and outstanding durability tests.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro makes the perfect travel buggy. It folds up so small it can fit into an overhead compartment for luggage and weighs so light that you won't even feel it in your car. It's also a good day-to-day stroller and our test driver Hollie found it easy to steer, even while juggling her one-year-old. She was impressed by the adjustable handle and lockable wheels however, she noted that it's not the most comfortable seat. She also likes that you can add other features like a reversible and washable seat cover, rain cover and the foot muff.

The Babyzen YOYO fold pushchair is another stroller that folds down compactly. It's not as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle but it's still a great product that can be easily slid into trunks and car boot. It offers more newborn options in comparison to other buggies for travel. It can be equipped with an infant cot or bassinet, as well as a bespoke ride on board for older children and a tandem seat adapter.

The YOYO is not the most compact buggy to drive on rough or uneven terrain. Its tiny wheels don't perform well compared to other models that we have test. It is still a very maneuverable pushchair, and the YOYO does a great job in narrow aisles and muddy pathways. It's a great option for a family city break or holiday.

The Cosatto Bee6 offers a remarkably simple list of features at its competitive price. It can be folded down to the size of a backpack and weighs only 6kg, making it an easy travel buggy to cart on trains and planes. It is also very easy to steer, and our MFM test driver Matt found it to be enjoyable to steer, even with a large toddler was riding along. He also loved the hood that slides low enough to shield from rain and sun and aid napping. Its only downside is that there's no under-seat storage and you must carry or hang your bag on the handlebars (against the advice of a professional!). You can also buy an additional changing bag holder to make it a great holiday buggy.

Easy to manoeuvre

The wheels on Small Pushchair pushchairs might look small, but they often perform surprisingly well, navigating narrow aisles for shopping or rough terrain effortlessly. The Micralite is a great example. Despite having tiny wheels, it can navigate bumpy pavements easily and turn swiftly on narrow roads and even take on a bit of gravel with little problem. It also has a slick steering system and is easy to steer using just one hand. It folds into an attractive and compact box that fits snugly in its accompanying carrying case.

Most compact pushchairs were made for toddlers and older children. However increasing numbers of them offer an option for lying flat or the option to add a carrycot (or car seat) so that they can be used from the time of birth. These Z fold buggies or concertinas are typically light, weighing only 6-8kg. They can also be certified for use in the cabin by many airlines. MFM Editor Gemma has used hers on numerous occasions and says it's incredibly easy to pack and use.

If you're looking for a tiny fold, the YOYO is the pinnacle of the compact category and was the first buggy of this kind. It's still a preferred choice among parents, who prefer it over its competitors due to its clever details and superior function. It's an ideal option for frequent travelers, especially if you want to get rid of the stress of waiting in line at baggage collection and instead take your stroller onboard with you.

The YOYO is extremely compact, fitting into the accompanying carrying bag easily and with plenty of room. It is a great option for frequent travelers, particularly those who have to pack a lot of things in their suitcase. It's also incredibly versatile. You can buy a variety of optional accessories, including a bassinet for your baby, a custom riding boards and twin travel bundles to transform it into tandem. You can also purchase a hood and rain cover to give you extra security.

Confortable

Hollie is our reviewer who recommends the Silver Cross model to parents who are looking for a compact, lightweight pushchair. It's simple to use and fits into the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclining seats are among the top in our tests. It comes with a tray for parents as well as an storage basket that can fit the size of a backpack, and fantastic sun cover options.

Some compact-folding pushchairs fold down so tiny that they're certified for use in air travel which is ideal if you travel frequently or have a tight car space in the boot. They're usually very light so they're easy to carry and can be used with a travel system if you choose a version that features a lie-flat seating unit or comes with an optional newborn 'pod' or one of two luxurious foldable carrycots.

When you are looking for a good trip, it's crucial to remember that not all buggy models are made equal. Certain brands claim that their compact-folding pushchairs and strollers can easily be folded with just one hand. Others may require more effort or two hands to fold it. Examine if the seat reclines. Some are completely flat, whereas others have an occasional recline. This could be okay for toddlers, but not for younger children.

It's also important to determine whether the model you're looking at is designed specifically for the kind of travel you're planning on doing, such as if you're going somewhere hot, look out for one with a mesh that is vented to keep your child cool. If you're going somewhere stormy or rainy it is essential to ensure that your pushchair comes with an appropriate cover. The covers that come with generic ones won't fit and could let water in.
