How to Choose the Best Travel Pushchair

If you're planning a trip to another country with your child, you will need a travel stroller that folds easily and can stand alone when closed. Look for a travel pushchair with a large storage basket and a fully reclining seat.

Also, make sure that your stroller is approved for cabin use, and has a handle height that is suitable for parents of all heights.

Folds easily and folds away

If you're travelling with your child, it's important to choose a stroller that can be folded easily and quickly. It's much easier to put the stroller in your car boot or to carry it up a flight steps. It should also be small enough to fit into the overhead storage compartment of a plane, too.

There are a variety of options to choose from, whether you're searching for a light travel pushchair or one that is large enough. The most effective models fold with one hand and stand on their own when closed. You should also choose a stroller which is compact and has a large basket to store your luggage.

The Joolz Aer premium travel pushchair is extremely lightweight, compact and can be operated with only one hand. The Joolz Aer is purchased in an assortment that includes a bassinet for babies with leg rests, as well as rain cover.

Mountain Buggy Colugo is another stroller for travelers that is smaller and lighter. It's more expensive but still provides a variety of features, such as an easy fold that can be folded with one hand, as well as an ample storage basket. However, it does not have the same slick maneuverability as the Yoyo and might not fit in overhead storage on some flights. Despite this it is a great stroller. Colugo is an excellent choice for those looking for lightweight, compact strollers that can be taken on all airlines. It also comes with an exclusive dual-sided wheel lock that makes it more sturdy and more stable than other strollers. This is a great choice for those who plan to spend much time outdoors or traveling to countries with rough terrain.

Lightweight

The ideal stroller for travel is one that is easy to lift and carry. This is true whether you are navigating stairs on public transportation or trying to get it into an overhead baggage compartment in an airplane. It should also be compact enough to fit in the small car's boot without taking up too much space. It should also be freestanding when folded. Some brands have even gone a step further, making strollers that fold so compactly that they can be tucked away in the corner of the seat!

The downside to lightweight travel pushchairs is that they are less robust than other models. Designers must sacrifice features such as basket space to keep them lightweight. Most are durable enough to be used for a long time and are able to handle uneven pavements. Some even come with the added benefit of being cabin-friendly so that you can bring them along on flights.

If you're planning to use your new pushchair for holidays, make sure it has an umbrella and a rain cover. It is recommended to spend the extra cash on an item specifically made for your particular model, rather than a generic cover. It will fit better and stop water from getting in.

The Joie Pact Pro is our favorite lightweight travel pushchair up to 25kg. It's simple to fold, and opens with just one hand. It's the smallest model in our list and can fit Ickle Bubba Venus Max Jogger in Black/Space Grey small car boot spaces. However, it's still a maneuverable pushchair that's suitable for toddlers and infants from birth up to a few year old. It's also suitable for use in cabins as it weighs less than 15kg. This means you can take it on the plane with your hand luggage.

Compact

A compact travel stroller can easily be tucked away in the trunk of your car or the overhead compartments of trains, planes, and boats. A small and lightweight travel stroller will also be much easier to lift in and out of the car, and carry up a flight of steps, which is especially crucial if you're going to old European cities with cobbled streets.

It is recommended to look for a single-handed folding mechanism that allows you to fold the pushchair while holding your child or other luggage. You should also consider the weight limit of your travel pushchair, as well as whether you want a recline, deep canopy, or footmuff (depending on the location you're traveling to).

The Gb Pockit stroller for example, is super lightweight and compact. It folds so compactly that it can be tucked away in the cup holders of a café seat. Its smaller wheels make it more difficult to maneuver on rough terrain, however it's still capable of doing the job. If you're planning to go on an excursion to the beach or on an off-road excursion, you should look for an outdoor stroller that has thicker and larger wheels.

Another top pick for families is the Joie Tourist stroller. It weighs only 6kg when folded and it is certified for cabin use. This means it can be put on a plane in the overhead compartment. It's a stylish and affordable alternative too. We love the smart magnetic buckle, and the possibility of it being suitable from birth to four years (as long as you buy a car seat and carry cot adapters).

Easy to manoeuvre

It is essential to choose a model with a smooth steering system as well as a chassis that is lightweight to help you navigate the airport and narrow shopping aisles. Look for an easy-to-use steering system and a chassis that's light to aid you in navigating the airport and tight aisles for shopping. Also, you should make sure that the travel pushchair is small enough to fit into the overhead storage compartment of a plane when not in use.

Our test subjects discovered that the Babyzen YOYO2 is a great choice for this, with its sleek design and premium feel. Its hood comes with UPF 50 sun protection and is wide enough to cover your baby while the handlebar features a sturdy, leather feel that our testers felt was superior to the handles on other pushchairs with lightweights. Our testers were amazed by how easy it was to move around different terrains, but they did notice that the wheels were smaller and didn't provide enough grip.

It's suitable from birth and has a compact fold that makes it easy to put in your car boot or in an overhead compartment on a flight.
