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 cars. They are also extremely light and compact, making them perfect to travel with planes.

This UPPAbaby is one of the smallest folds we've ever seen. However, it has some limitations including a small canopy and no storage.

Ease of Folding

When selecting a fold-up pushchair, it's important to take into consideration where and how you'll use it. If you'll be travelling with baby by plane, a compact, lightweight buggy is a great choice as it can fit into the overhead compartments for luggage, and is usually small enough to be carried on the shoulder when folded. Look out for a single-handed fold that is easy to operate while holding your baby and a handle that can be adjusted to height to ensure that parents and caregivers of different heights can comfortably use it. If you're planning to go hiking with baby it is essential for maneuvering over uneven terrain. Check for features such as a deep recline to allow for a comfortable nap when you're on the move and an extended sun canopy.

Many pushchairs claim to be folded in one-hand, but it's best pushchair to test this before purchasing to confirm it really is possible while holding your child. Our testers found the UPPAbaby GLUXE to be especially good, with its clever mechanism that combines to a slimmer, sleeker package than an umbrella. It also has a convenient pocket to store keys and phone and a one-touch seat recline that's ideal for children who prefer to nap on the move.

The smallest fold-up pushchairs are able to be used from birth. They offer an easy-to-leap seat, or carrying cots. This is ideal for babies who like to sleep during the day.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and lightest of the group. It folds smaller than its YOYO2 counterpart the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry at only 6kg. It's also super-easy to use, using a simple one-hand fold and recline which is perfect for naps with toddlers. This model is a great option for hikers since it comes with a large front swivel tire which can be able to handle any terrain.

One-Handed folding

When you're going for an afternoon stroll in the park, speeding around town on public transport or jetting off to foreign shores with baby in tow, it pays to have a pushchair that folds easily. It's not ideal to have to fold a complicated travel system while trying to manage a child and all of their essentials, such as keys, shopping bags and other items. This is why pushchairs and strollers that can be folded one hand are the most popular choice for parents.

As the name implies, a one-handed fold pushchair can be folded with the press of a button or two. Certain models may require more effort, or two hands. However, the convenience of this process makes them easy to handle and put away. They also tend to be lighter, making them simpler to carry around or fit into small spaces.

An excellent example is the G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby. This model is one of the most simple to fold using one hand in our roundup. It only requires pulling a lever on the chassis. It also stands on its own, making it perfect to store in the corner of a café or in a foyer.

The Bugaboo Bee is another model that folds with one hand. It's one of the first compact-fold pushchairs and despite being larger than some other options, it still has an elegant, simple to use fold. It's got a variety of features, too such as a deep recline and an UPF 50+ canopy that is expandable that is designed to keep your little one protected on sunny days.

Some of these compact-fold pushchairs are only suitable for toddlers or older children However, there are many models that are designed to be used from the time of birth. They come with a full or partial lie-flat seat, and could include the option of adding an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her son in the Babyzen YOYO, which is one of the original buggys of this kind and is remains a popular choice. It's smaller than some other buggys, but is still easy to carry. It fits in the baggage allowances for cabin baggage on many airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds down is often very compact and lightweight. This is particularly true of umbrella-folding pushchairs that typically weigh under 20 pounds. They are perfect for short walks on flat surfaces or pushchairs and strollers pavements and also for transporting between your car and others' houses. They're also a good choice when you don't wish to purchase an all-terrain pushchair shop near me and are comfortable with using your pushchair on flat surfaces.

If you're planning to use a compact fold-away pushchair when you're walking on muddy or sand surfaces, think about getting an air-filled tyre. These are a bit heavier than regular tyres however they'll provide better traction and grip. It's important to note that the weight added will increase the size of your pushchair.

Many of the lightweight pushchairs are made for older infants and toddlers who are able to sit on their own, however there are a growing number that can be used from the time of birth. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have a lie-flat seating area and can be used in conjunction with an infant car seat or a carrycots (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers can be transformed into double buggys by using a stroller board. This is great for Grandma and Grandad.

A lot of the top lightweight pushchairs are easy to operate. Some are simply open or closed with the push of a button, while others have more intricate mechanisms, but they all require very little space. Some pushchairs feature wristbands that allow you to hold the pushchair even when it's folded. This makes it easier to maneuver.

While some lightweight pushchairs can be quite basic however, the 3D Lite from Contours is a fantastic illustration of how a small stroller can be packed full of features. It also has a large basket, lots of padding and adjustable handlebars (for tall or short parents) and a massive protective canopy. Plus, it's very lightweight and comes with a handy carry bag.

Compact

When choosing a stroller, you should think about how compact it is when folded. Some have a very small fold while others are larger, depending on their overall size and the features they include.

Compactness is also important for those who plan to travel with your stroller. There are models that fold down to the smallest size and even into a pouch, which means they can be easily stashed in the trunk of a car, or taken on the plane as cabin baggage. This is ideal when you plan to travel frequently or live in an urban area where you can't take a larger stroller with you all the time.

The most effective pushchairs are those with an easy, simple fold process. The Babyzen YOYO was the first of its kind and has since been imitated but is unique due to its innovative design and superior performance.

The Babyzen YOYO is a compact fold and is slightly larger than most hand luggage allowances, making it ideal for travel. It can be carried to the gate and used between taking off and catching your flight.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is an ultra-compact pushchair that provides more space. This has a great seat that reclines completely and offers a good amount of padding to keep your child comfy. It can be used at birth, if you want to, with the addition of a baby cocoon pack or carrycot (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another ideal choice for a day-today light buggy that folds down to an extremely compact fold and can be positioned up when not in use. It's not as easy-to-use as other models, and it can make a lot more noise when you adjust its canopy. This could make your baby scream.
