Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs are easy to get on and off public transport or fit in the back of the car. They are also extremely light and compact which makes them perfect for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby model is among the most eye-catching compact folds we've seen. But it comes with some limitations, like a small canopy and a lack of storage.

Folding is easy

When choosing a fold up pushchair, you need to take into consideration where and how you're going to be using it. When you are travelling with your child on planes, a compact and lightweight buggy is an ideal choice. It can fit into the overhead luggage compartments and is small enough to be able to be carried over the shoulder. You should choose a buggy that can be folded using one hand while holding your child. It must have a handle that's height-adjustable so that caregivers and parents with different heights are able to use it comfortably. If you're planning to go walking with your baby the swivel lock wheel is essential to maneuver over uneven terrain. Other useful features to consider include a deep recline for easy naps on the go and an extendable canopy that provides extra sun protection.

It is important to test the pushchairs prior to purchasing them to be sure that they fold easily with one hand while holding your child. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe was reviewed highly by our reviewers, due to its innovative mechanism that creates a compact package that is smaller than an umbrella. It also has a handy compartment for keys and phone and a one-touch seat recline that's ideal for kids who prefer to nap in the middle of the road.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used right from birth and come with a flat seat that can be sat on or the option for an additional carrycot, which means they're ideal for young babies who prefer to sleep during the day. If you're planning to use your travel system right from the beginning, a single click attachment system for an infant Car Seat is a must.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and lightest of the bunch. It folds even smaller than its rival, the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry with just 6kg. It is also very easy to use with a one-hand fold, and the seat reclines to accommodate toddler napping. This model is a great option for hikers, as it has a large front swivel tire that can be able to handle any terrain.

One-Handed folding

Whether you're out for a stroll in the park, or cruising around town on public transport or heading to distant shores with your baby it's important to have a stroller that folds easily. It can be difficult to manage children bags, keys, shopping bags and other essentials of everyday life while attempting to fold a complex travel system isn't ideal, so one-handed pushchairs and strollers are typically the most preferred choices for pushchairs for tall Parents parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be collapsed by pressing a button or buttons. Some models require a bit more effort or even two hands, but the ease of the process means that they are still easy to handle and put away. They are also lightweight, making them easier to carry around and fit in small spaces.

An excellent example is the G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby. This model has one of the easiest one-handed folds we've seen in our round up, with a quick and smooth operation that involves only pulling on an incline at the base of the chassis. It can stand on its own when folded, too making it perfect for stowing in the corner of a cafe or in the foyer.

Another model that features simple, one-handed folding is the Bugaboo Bee. It's among the first pushchairs with a compact fold. While it's larger than other options, this model still has an easy-to-use, sleek fold. It also has a number of excellent features, such as the deep reclining seat as well as an expanded UPF50+ canopy to protect your child on hot days.

Some of these pushchairs are specifically designed for toddlers and older children. However there are other options that can be used right from birth. They come with a full or partial lie-flat seat and may come with the option of adding an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her son in the Babyzen YOYO which is among the first buggys of this kind and still a favorite. It's a little smaller fold than others, but it's very easy to handle and fits in the allowance for cabin luggage on the majority of airlines.

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds is usually very small and lightweight. This is particularly true of umbrella-folding pushchairs that typically weigh under 20 pounds. They're ideal for short strolls on pavements and flat surfaces as well as for a simple way to get between your vehicle and the homes of others. They're also a good choice when you don't wish to buy an all-terrain buggy but are content with using your pushchair on flat surfaces.

If you're looking to fold a compact 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 more grip and traction. It's important to keep in mind that the extra weight will add to the size of your pushchair.

A majority of pushchairs that are lightweight are made for older infants and toddlers that can sit up on their own, but many are now suitable from birth. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have a seating area that is flat and can be used in conjunction with a car seat for infants or additional carrycot (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers are able to be converted into double buggys using a stroller board. This is great for Grandma and Grandad.

Many of the best lightweight pushchairs are easy to operate. Some pushchairs can be opened and closed with a single button. Some have more complicated mechanisms, but they take up a small amount of space. Some even come with a strap for your wrist that allows you to the pushchair stroller in place even when it's folded, and this could make a significant difference to the ease of move around.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is a great example of a compact stroller that's packed with features. It also has a large basket, lots of padding, adjustable handlebars (for tall or short parents) and a huge protective canopy. It's also extremely light and comes with a convenient bag.

Compact

One of the most important aspects you should take into consideration when choosing the right rear facing pushchair is the size of the pushchair when folded. Some have a very small fold while others are more spacious dependent on their overall size and the features they have.

Compactness is also important if you plan to travel with your pushchair. There are models that fold to a very small size, and even into a bag, so they can be easily tucked in the trunk of a car or carried on the plane as cabin baggage. If you plan to travel frequently or live in a city where you aren't able to use a large stroller on a daily basis, this is the perfect option for you.

The most effective pushchairs have an easy, simple fold process. The Babyzen YOYO is the first in its class and has been copied since then, but it is a standout due to its clever features and superior performance.

The Babyzen YOYO is perfect for travel as it has an extremely small and just a little larger than the majority of hand luggage allowances. It can be carried to the airport and used during the time between taking off and catching your flight.

For a more spacious and compact pushchair, look at the Mamas and Papas Airo. This has a great seat that can recline fully and offers a good amount of padding to ensure your child is comfortable. It can be used from birth with an infant cocoon or carrycot pack (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another excellent option for a day-to-day lightweight stroller that folds into an extremely compact fold that can be positioned up straight when not in use. However it's not as simple to operate as some other models and can make quite a bit of noise when you adjust the canopy, which could wake up your baby.
