Compact Pushchair Reviews

A compact and lightweight stroller can be an ideal option for you if you often travel by car or public transport. They are easy to fold and store and less likely to be damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers that are lightweight are comfortable and easy to maneuver over cobblestones. They can also be easily stored in overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The best compact pushchairs are lightweight to carry, and even more importantly, easy to fold. They typically have a one-handed fold, and take up less space when folded than full-size 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 also have a very small footprint when closed, which helps you to navigate tight spaces. They are a good choice if you reside in an apartment or just want something nimble and lightweight for your daily walking. They can be uncomfortable for older children who have to extend their legs to move around.

There are a variety of different fold types available on the market and some are truly one-handed and others needing some effort or two hands to complete. Some are designed to fit into the baggage allowances for cabin baggage on many flights, or can be carried over your shoulder using straps or handles.

If you're looking for a light pushchair, our top pick is the Silver Cross Dune. This offers all the smart design and thoughtful features you would expect from the storied brand however, it comes in a more compact package. It also has a very user-friendly fold, and just similar to the Contours Itsy, it comes in a box that is fully assembled. It's a great option for parents who will be traveling a lot with their baby. It can fit in most car trunks and tiny trunk spaces.

Another good option is an alternative is Cybex Mios, which straddles the two categories of cheap pushchairs for sale as a fully-functional travel system with mobility and a small fold. It can be used in parent-facing mode right from birth and switched to a world-forward facing pushchair position as your child ages. It also comes with a decent reclining feature that is nap-worthy. It's not as compact as the Libelle but it is smaller and more comfortable to use on flat surfaces. It is not suitable for rough terrain. Its other selling point is the low price tag and excellent tests of durability.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel stroller, folding up so small that it can be tucked away in an overhead compartment for luggage, and is so light that you'll not even feel it in your car boot. It's also a great day-today stroller and our tester Hollie found it easy to steer, even while juggling her one-year-old. She loved the adjustable handle with lockable wheels, as well as the reclined seat. However, she noted that it wasn't particularly comfortable. However, she also appreciates the fact that you can add additional features, such as the washable, reversible seat liner, rain cover and the foot muff.

The Babyzen YOYO is a similarly compact fold pushchair. It's not as sleek as the Cybex Libelle but it's still an attractive package that can be easily slid into car trunks and trunks. It also offers more options for newborns than other buggies, including the option of adding a bassinet or newborn cot as well as a custom ride-on board for older kids and a tandem double seat adapter.

It's not the smallest buggy for driving on uneven or rough terrain, and its small wheels don't perform as well as the other models we've tried. However, it's an extremely maneuverable pushchair up to 25kg (more info) and the YOYO is capable of navigating narrow aisles and muddy pathways. It's perfect for a city break or holiday.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that comes with numerous features at surprisingly low prices. It can be folded down to the size and weight of a big bag, and is easy to carry on trains and planes. It is also very easy to steer, and our MFM tester Matt found it a joy to steer, even with a large toddler was on board. The hood is a benefit, since it can be adjusted to provide shade and protection from rain and sun. It's ideal for nap time. The only downside is that it doesn't have storage under the seat and you'll have to carry or gently hang a bag over the handlebar (against our advice!). You can also buy an additional changing bag holder to make it a perfect holiday buggy.

Easy to manoeuvre

The wheels on compact pushchairs may appear small, but they usually do surprisingly well, and can navigate narrow aisles for shopping or rough terrain effortlessly. The Micralite is an excellent example, despite having small wheels it handles bumpy pavements with ease and turns swiftly on narrow roads and can handle some lightly sand without a lot of difficulty. It also has a smooth steering system that is a breeze to steer using just one hand. And it folds down into a neat and compact package which is easily fit into its carrying bag.

Most compact pushchairs are designed for toddlers and older children, but an increasing number offer a lie-flat seat or the option of adding an additional carrycot (or baby car seat) to ensure they are suitable from birth. These innovative concertina or Z-fold buggies are typically light at 6-8kg and are able to be cabin-approved by a wide range of airlines, making them perfect for travel pushchair. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on many occasions and has found it easy to use and to store.

If you're looking for a compact fold then the YOYO is an excellent choice. It was the first buggy to feature this feature. It's still a highly sought-after option, with a lot of parents favouring it over its imitators because of its unique features and its superior performance. It's the ideal option for frequent travelers particularly if you want to avoid the hassle of waiting for baggage pickup and instead bring your stroller onboard with you.

The YOYO is also available in an extremely compact size, fitting into the bag easily and with plenty of room. It's a great choice for frequent travelers, particularly those who have to pack a lot of things in their suitcase. Additionally, it's extremely versatile - you can buy an array of accessories to it like the bassinet for babies, a custom ride-on board, and a twin travel bundles to transform it into the form of a tandem. You can also buy a rain cover and hood to ensure your safety.

Confortable

Hollie Our reviewer, Hollie, recommends the Silver Cross model to parents looking for a lightweight compact pushchair. It's user-friendly and can be tucked away into the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclining seats are among the best we've seen in our tests. It comes with a tray for parents and a storage basket that fits small backpacks, and excellent sun-cover options.

Some compact-fold strollers fold so small that they're cabin approved for air travel. This makes them perfect when you frequently travel or have a limited space in your car boot. They're usually very light and compact, making them easy to carry and can be used in conjunction with a travel system if you choose a version that has a lie-flat seat unit, or has an optional baby 'pod' or one of two luxurious foldable carrycots.

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a travel buggy is that not all models are created equal. Certain manufacturers claim that their compact folding pushchairs can easily be folded using just one hand. Others may require more effort or two hands to fold it. It's also worth checking whether the seat has a recline. Some are completely flat and others have an incline that may be fine for toddlers but not for babies.

You'll also want to check whether the model you're looking at is specifically designed for the type of travel you're doing, for instance, in the event that you're going to a place that's hot you should look for one with a vented mesh fabric to keep your little one cool. If you're heading somewhere that's wet or windy, you should make sure that the pushchair is equipped with an appropriate cover. Covers that are generic won't fit and may let water in.
