Buying a Travel Pushchair

When buying a travel pushchair, consider things like the fold as well as the recline, storage space, and canopy. Consider adding extras such as coffee cup or footmuff holder, as well as rain covers.

If you're often traveling pick a model that's cabin-approved and folds up compactly. Our test with parents says that the Joie Tourist does this perfectly. Its one-handed mechanism makes it easy to fold when juggling a toddler.

Lightweight

A travel pushchair can be folded quickly and compactly to fit into luggage or the trunk of a car. They are designed for use with babies from birth and often come with the option of securing an infant car seat, although adaptors will be required. Some are also suitable for toddlers which makes them a great option for day and holiday trips.

There are many travel pushchairs to choose from, so you need to pick the one that is suitable for your family. If you have a toddler you may prefer a buggy with a removable foot rest to stop your child's legs from hanging. When selecting a stroller, it is crucial to think about how much storage you will need.

If you are a frequent jetsetter and need a compact buggy to fit into your baggage allowance for cabin travel pick a model that folds down into a size of 48cm by 43cm by 21.5cm. This is smaller than most hand luggage. If you pick a model that has a clever, dynamic folding mechanism, it will be much easier to pack, as the buggy can be folded into itself, similar to a book.

Another alternative is to purchase an automobile seat bundle. This will save you time researching compatible components and money. A brand bundle usually includes a car seat that are designed to match each other in terms of style and comfort. Some brands provide additional features such as cup holders or a parent organizer, which are useful for traveling.

Certain brands also offer a variety of different accessories, including a newborn bassinet and rain cover, to allow you to convert your travel pushchair into a double buggy or twin travel pushchair. These are especially useful for families with older children and would like them to have an area to sit comfortably while traveling.

Easy to fold

Travel pushchairs should be easy to fold, particularly in smaller spaces such as the cabin of an airplane or train. The Joie Pact Pro, which features a one-handed folding mechanism that our test with parents discovered to be extremely simple to use, is an excellent example. This makes it ideal for parents who want to take their baby along with them on air travel as well as local excursions and day trips.

Another good alternative is a travel system bundle that incorporates a pushchair and infant car seat of the same manufacturer. This allows you to be sure that the car seat is compatible with your pushchair and will fit on the chassis you've chosen for your baby. These bundles can be cheaper than purchasing each item separately. However, it is essential to ensure that the components work together before purchasing.

If you plan to use your stroller on rough terrain, select one with a sturdy base and large wheels capable of handling bumps and bumps. Smaller wheels are difficult to maneuver on any other surface than smooth pavements. Reversible seats are also beneficial as they allow your baby to be seated with the parent for a while and then face the world once they get older.

Depending on the time of year you're planning to travel you'll also need to consider whether your pushchair will provide the protection against weather that you require. A sunshade to protect your baby's skin from harmful UV rays, and a rain cover to prevent snow or water from entering the pushchair are important features. You should buy a raincover that is specifically designed for your model of pushchair, not an ordinary one.

The final criteria is that the pushchair must be compact and lightweight. This is especially true for travel pushchairs which must be able to fold down to a compact size. The Bugaboo Butterfly has one of the smallest folds on the market and is able to be stored in overhead luggage compartments of some airlines (although not all). Our parent tester found it really comfortable to ride in with her toddler with a spacious and high-quality seat unit that reclines for comfortable naps.

Easy to manoeuvre

If you're navigating busy train or bus stations with a baby sleeping and need to fold and maneuver your pushchair easily to allow you to get on and off without causing any disturbance to your child is a must. Find models with smooth pivoting front wheels that allow you to turn and move your pushchair effortlessly.

Typically they have smaller wheels than other types of strollers to keep their weight and size to a minimum, but if you want something to take on rough terrain or a trek along the beach, pick one with larger, more robust wheels to take on this type of terrain.

Certain brands and retailers offer travel systems that include car seats, pushchairs, and any extras you may need. This is an excellent option if you have a clear idea of what you want and don't want to spend a lot of time searching for compatible parts. But, make sure the items you buy work together before purchasing a travel bundle. Some brands make this information available on the internet or you can contact the retailer for assistance.

Easy to store

If you're planning to put a travel pushchair in your car's boot or in the overhead bin of an airplane, it should be compact and foldable. It's also beneficial if the pushchair comes with a shoulder harness to allow you to hold it in one arm - especially if your child falls asleep!

Consider how often you will utilize the pushchair, and what terrain you will be covering when choosing one. Some travel buggies, like are designed for city walks on smooth pavements. They're not suited for use on the beach or off-road. If you're planning on going off-road and need a more sturdy buggy, check that it has a suspension system and more wheels that are able to handle rougher surfaces.

If you plan to use it from birth you should look for a travel stroller with a baby pack. The Babyzen Yoyo2 is a great model, featuring a brilliant one-hand fold and lots of add-ons including a newborn bassinet as well as a rain cover, and a seriously snuggly foot muff.

Alternatively, if you know you'll only use it for short shopping trips, opt for a pushchair that has a car seat adaptor that can be attached to the chassis, so you can keep your baby in their comfortable car seat throughout the trip. Many travel systems come with a car seat already fitted, but you can also build your own custom bundle if you prefer.

Think about how often you'll make use of each item when you choose a travel pram set. It is also important to take into account the cost of the base for your car seat as well as any adaptors you may require to connect it to your pushchair. They can be purchased online or in stores - some brands offer bundles which include all of them, making it easier to create your ideal travel system!
