Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

Fold-up pushchairs are easy to carry on public transport or even fit into the back of your car. They are also extremely compact and lightweight making them ideal for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby model is one of the most attractive compact folds we've seen. It does have some limitations including a small canopy and there is no storage.

Ease of Folding

Think about where and how you'll use the pushchair prior to deciding on one. If you're traveling with baby by plane, a compact, lightweight buggy is a good option as it can be tucked in the overhead luggage compartments, and is usually small enough to be carried on the shoulder when unfolded. You should choose an infant stroller that can fold with one hand while you hold your child. It should also include a handle that is adjustable in height so that caregivers and parents of different heights are able to use it comfortably. A swivel lock wheel is essential if are planning to hike with your baby. It will assist you to navigate uneven terrain. Other handy features to check include a deep recline for easy naps on the go and an extendable canopy that offers sun protection.

Many pushchairs pushchairs claim to be folded in one-hand, but it's best to test this before purchasing to confirm it's actually possible while also being able to hold your child. Our testers found the UPPAbaby G-Luxe to be particularly impressive, with its clever mechanism that folds down into a slimline package smaller than an umbrella. It has a pocket that can keep phones and keys, and a seat recliner that can be adjusted by one touch.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used right from birth and offer an easy-to-leap seat or the option for an additional carrycot, so they're perfect for infants who want to sleep throughout the day. If you intend to use your travel system right from the beginning the one-click attachment system for an infant car seat is a must.

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

One-Handed folding

It's always an ideal idea to have a foldable pushchair up to 25kg, whether you are walking around or using public transport or flying to a different country with your child. The pressure of managing the child keys, shopping bags, keys and other essentials of everyday life while trying to fold a complicated travel system isn't ideal therefore pushchairs that can be folded with one hand strollers are often the most preferred choices for parents.

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

A good example is the G-Luxe from UPPAbaby. This model features one of the most simple one-handed folds in our round-up, and features an easy and smooth operation that requires just pulling a lever at the base of the chassis. It can also stand up on its own, making it ideal for storing in a corner of a café or a foyer.

Another model with an easy, one-handed fold is the Bugaboo Bee. It is one of the first pushchairs with a compact fold. Despite being larger than other options the Bugaboo Bee still has an easy and sleek fold. It has a great range of features, such as a deep recline and an expandable UPF 50+ canopy designed to keep your little one covered on sunny days.

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

Lightweight

A pushchair that folds is usually extremely compact and light. This is particularly the case for umbrella-folded pushchairs which weigh less than 20 pounds. They're great for short walks on flat surfaces and pavements and for a quick transfer between your vehicle and other people's houses. These are also a good option if you don't wish to purchase an all-terrain stroller but prefer to use your pushchair easy fold on flat surfaces.

If you're looking to use a compact folding pushchair on uneven ground, or on muddy or sand surfaces, consider getting an air-filled tyre. They're a little heavier than normal tyres, but they'll provide better traction and grip. It's important to keep in mind that the weight added will increase the size of your jogging pushchair.

Many of the lightweight pushchairs are made for older children and toddlers who can sit up on their own, but many are now suitable for babies from the time of birth. Models like the Mamas & Papas Airo have an area that can be laid flat and can be paired with an infant car seat or additional carrycots (sold separately). Some compact-fold strollers can be transformed into double buggys with the help of a stroller board. This is a great option for Grandma and Grandad.

Many of the best lightweight pushchairs are easy to use. Some are simply open or closed with the push of a button, while others feature more complicated mechanisms, but they require very little space. Some pushchairs have a wrist band that allows you to hold the pushchair even when folded. This can make it easier to move.

While some lightweight pushchairs are very stripped down and uninspiring, the 3D Lite from Contours is a fantastic example of how a tiny stroller can be packed full of features. It also has a large basket, lots of padding, adjustable handlebars (for parents who are tall or short) and a huge protective canopy. Additionally, it's extremely light and comes with a handy carry bag.

Compact

When selecting a stroller, you should think about how compact it is when folded. Some pushchairs have a very compact fold, while others are bigger based on the overall size and features.

Compactness is also important if you plan to travel with your baby. Some models can fold down to a compact size or even into bags, making them a breeze to put in the boot of your car or carry on a plane. If you are planning to travel often or live in a place where you aren't able to use a large stroller This is the ideal solution for you.

The most effective pushchairs are those that have a simple, easy-to-fold process. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its kind and has been a model of imitation since, but it is a standout due to its innovative features and superior design.

The Babyzen YOYO has an impressively tiny fold and is only slightly larger than the size of most hand luggage allowances, making it ideal for travelling with. It can be utilized at the gate between taking off and catching it.

The Ergobaby Metro+ is another ideal choice for a day-today lightweight buggy that has a very compact fold and can be positioned upright when it's not in use. However, it's not as easy to use as some models and can make lots of noise when you adjust the canopy, which could cause your baby to wake up.
