A compact stroller that is lightweight will be the ideal choice for those who frequently travel via public transport or by car. These strollers are easy to fold and store, and less likely to be damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers that are lightweight provide modern convenience and are easy to navigate on cobblestones. Plus, they fit easily into overhead compartments on planes.

Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs are lightweight to carry and, more importantly, simple to fold. They are often simple to fold with just one hand and take up less space when folded than full size buggies. They're a great option when you don't have lots of space in your home, or you're concerned about space restrictions when traveling.

They also have a small footprint when closed, which allows you to walk through tight spaces. They are the ideal choice when you live in an apartment or you want something light and agile for walking around. However, they could be less comfortable for older children if you need to extend their legs to get around.

There are a variety of folds to choose from, some can be completed with just one hand and others require two hands or a bit more effort. Some are designed to fit into the baggage allowance for cabins on many flights, or can be carried over your shoulder with straps or handles.

Silver Cross Dune is our preferred lightweight pushchair. It has all the sophisticated design and innovative features you would expect from the storied brand however in a smaller size. It also comes with an easy-to-use fold, and similar to the Contours Itsy, it comes in the box fully assembled. It's an excellent choice for parents who are traveling frequently with their child. It fits into most car trunks as well as tiny trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It is a bridge between the two categories of fashionable pushchairs and is a fully-functional system that is nimble. It can be used from birth in parent-facing mode, and then changed to a world-facing mode as your child grows older, and it also has a decent recline that is nap-worthy. It's not as compact as the Libelle however it's a bit smaller and is more suitable for use on flat surfaces. It is not suitable for rough terrain. The price is very affordable and the durability tests are top-notch.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel buggy, which folds up so small that it fits into an overhead luggage compartment, and is so light that you'll barely notice it in your car boot. It's also a great day-today stroller and our test driver Hollie found it easy to steer even while carrying her toddler. She was impressed by the adjustable handle and lockable wheels but noted that it isn't the most comfortable seat. She also likes the fact that you can add extras like a reversible and washable seat cover, rain cover, and a foot muff.

The Babyzen YOYO is another impressively compact foldable pushchair. It isn't as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle, but it's still a very neat foldable product that can easily be inserted into and out of trunks and car boots. It also has more newborn options than some other buggies, including the option to add a bassinet or newborn cot as well as a custom ride-on board for older children and a double seat adapter.

It's not the smallest buggy to drive on uneven or rough terrain, and its tiny wheels aren't as efficient as the other models we've tried. However, it is still an extremely maneuverable pushchair, and the YOYO is capable of maneuvering narrow shopping aisles and muddy trails. It's perfect for a city break or holiday.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that comes with many features for a price that is surprisingly low. It can be folded down to the size of a large backpack and weighs only 6kg, so it's an easy travel buggy to transport on trains and planes. It's also a breeze to use and our MFM reviewer Matt found it a pleasure to steer even with a large toddler in the. He also liked the hood, which comes down low enough to protect from the sun and rain and facilitate napping. The only downside is that it lacks under-seat storage and you'll need to carry or delicately hang a bag on the handlebar (against our expert advice!). You can also purchase an additional changing bag holder to make it a fantastic holiday buggy.

Easy to maneuver

Wheels on compact pushchairs may look small, yet they're usually quite efficient at maneuvering narrow aisles and rough terrain. The Micralite is a great example. Despite having tiny wheels, it can handle bumpy pavements easily and turn swiftly on narrow roads, and tackle some light gravel with little problem. It features an easy-to-use steering system that is easy to operate using only one hand. It folds down into an elegant and compact package that is easily stored in its accompanying carrying case.

The majority of compact pushchairs are designed for toddlers and older infants, but an increasing number of them offer a lie-flat seat or the option to add an extra carrycot (or baby car seat) to ensure they are suitable from birth. These clever concertina or Z-fold buggies are usually lightweight at around 6-8kg and can be cabin approved on many airlines, making them perfect for travel. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on numerous occasions and finds it easy to use and store.

If you're looking for a truly small fold, the YOYO is the top of the compact category and was the first strollers of this type. It's still a preferred choice for Fashionable Pushchairs parents who prefer it over its competitors due to its innovative design and superior functionality.

The YOYO is also extremely compact and can fit into the carrying bag with ease and with some room to spare. It's a great choice for frequent travelers, especially those who need to carry lots of things into their luggage. Additionally, it's extremely adaptable - you can purchase a range of optional accessories to it like baby bassinets, a bespoke ride-on board, and a twin travel bundles that turn it into a tandem. Additionally, you can purchase a rain cover and hood for added security.

Confortable

For parents wanting a lightweight compact pushchair that is easy to operate and fits into the trunk of their vehicle, our review expert, Hollie, recommends this Silver Cross model. Its maneuverability and reclining seats are among the best travel pushchair we've seen in our tests. It also comes with a tray for parents and a storage basket that can accommodate the size of a backpack, and it's got great sun cover options (including an one-piece hood) and padded straps that help your child feel comfy.

Some compact-folding pushchair pushchairs fold down so tiny that they're cabin approved for air travel which is ideal if you're travelling often or have a tight car space in the boot. They're usually light so they're easy for you to carry. They are also able to be used in conjunction with an air travel system, when you choose a model with a lie-flat seat, or a newborn 'pod'.

The most important thing to remember when looking for a travel buggy is that not all models are in the same way. Some brands boast that their compact fold pushchairs can be folded with one hand, whereas others require more involvement or even a couple of hands to work out how to get it into the folded position. It's also worth checking whether the buggy comes with a seat recline - some are fully flat with a slight recline, while others have an incline that may be suitable for Fashionable pushchairs toddlers, but not younger babies.

Make sure the model you pick is appropriate for your travel plans. For instance, if your destination is hot it is recommended to choose one with mesh fabric vented to keep your child cool. If you're heading somewhere that's stormy or rainy it is essential to ensure that your pushchair comes with an appropriate cover. Generic covers will not fit and may let water in.
