Choosing a Lightweight Holiday Pushchair

Whether you're jet-setting or just changing your old stroller to take on a trip, picking the right lightweight travel pushchair will ensure your trip is a smooth one. Our test group were looking for a stroller which was lightweight and easy to fold. It was also durable enough for daily use.

They also wanted to find something that was cabin-friendly and would fit in the limited space on planes, trains and boats.

Lightweight

It's important to travel with children and have an easy-to-use pushchair. It's more convenient to transport and take up less space in your accommodation. You will also find it easier to maneuver on the train or plane. You'll need a stroller with a large capacity basket to hold all the clothes and other essentials. It should also have lockable swivel wheels that can tackle smooth and rough terrain.

The Babyzen Yoyo2 is one of the best lightweight pushchairs for holiday use that we've tested. It features a compact and curved frame, with a high-quality monochrome fabric. It has a sturdy, hooded hood to shield your child from the sun, as well as a cup holder for drinks. It can be folded using one hand. It is available in grey, black red, toffee or toffee and is very affordable.

Another great lightweight holiday pushchair is the Joie Tourist. It is a stylish-looking stroller that is available in a stunning shade of grey. It's also incredibly light at just 6kg and can fold down to the size of an average suitcase. It's ideal for parents who require a pushchair that's easy to travel with. It can even be used as a pram with its seat that can recline!

If you're planning to travel with twins, consider a lightweight double stroller, such as the Mountain Buggy nano duo. It's the lightest and smallest double pushchair on the market, and it's also very affordable. It is easy to fold and unfold and has a large storage bin. It has a large hood, locking swivel wheels and can handle more rough terrain.

A well-designed, lightweight pushchair should also feature an easy folding mechanism and should be easy to carry on your shoulders. This makes it easier to carry your child in taxis, trains, buses and up and down stairs or escalators. The Joie Tourist is an excellent option because it folds in one hand and fits into the overhead lockers of planes. It comes with a large hood that shields your child from direct sunlight and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to maneuver

Whether you're jet-setting for holidays or just want an easy-to-use Hauck Runner: All-Terrain Buggy with XL Wheels (mouse click on Pushchairsandprams) that you can use for home use and when visiting family, a lightweight travel pushchair is a must. There are plenty of options, including those that come with a variety of extras, such as baby bassinets and a rain cover, or toddler legrest so their legs don't dangle. They may feel a little flimsy because they have a shorter frame and a less complicated suspension than buggies of the full size. However our MFM testers discovered that all were manageable.

A compact, lightweight pushchair that's easy to maneuver will have a large storage basket so you can bring everything you need with you. It should be able of standing on its own when folded, so that it can be easily carried through airports and in the trunk of a car without taking up space for luggage. It's a huge benefit when you're traveling alone to be capable of folding and unfolding the stroller with just one hand. You'll need a stroller you can use on and off escalators, as well as to climb and descend stairs.

The MFM reviews revealed that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to navigate and, even fully loaded, it felt sturdy enough to handle cobblestones and roads that are uneven. It is also easy to use on public transportation and can be tucked away in the last racks of train cars (with its seat still attached). Ideal for babies starting at birth and is available in a variety colours as well as various accessories such as a bassinet for newborns with a footmuff, raincover and raincover. It's also available as twin travel bundles.

Folding is simple

The Britax Holiday is a super lightweight and compact jogging pushchair that folds down to fit in the overhead storage area or in the trunk of a car. It's also cabin-friendly and makes it easy to travel via air. You can carry it on your shoulders using the strap that comes with it. It's a bit difficult to get used to initially, but once you've got the hang of it it's an excellent stroller for on-the-go trips.

Our testers tried it out on a daily basis, from quick trips to the shops to strolls through the park, and even longer trips to visit family and friends abroad. They were impressed by how maneuverable it was in any environment and how easy to fold and carry. It comes with a spacious shopping basket, a full hood that protects against rain, and a handy cup holder that's a good option for a travel-sized mug. This pushchair is great for babies and toddlers aged from birth to four years.

We love that it's so simple to open and close, regardless of whether you're in a rush or if your hands are full with kids. It's also a very comfortable pushchair to drive and recline feature is easy for toddlers to use. However, it lacks the extra support that a bassinet or carrycot offers infants and is not suitable for use as a buggy for travel.

We have a thorough testing process that blends the expertise of our panel along with our consumer research to create a robust buying guide. We've narrowed our selection of strollers by eliminating those that weigh more than 7kg, and that can't fold up in a compact manner. We've also ensured that the items we've chosen are priced in a variety of prices to meet all budgets. This lets you choose a travel pushchair that meets your requirements.

Easy to store

When you travel with a baby, you'll be frequently into and out of trains, taxis and tubes, as well as up and down escalators or steps so it's important to pick an infant stroller that is light and can easily maneuver and store. It's best to select a stroller that folds down and rise up when opened, or folded into flat foldable so that it doesn't take up too much space in your living space. A freestanding storage basket is also useful when you need to store the pushchair away when not in use.

If you're looking for a stroller that is suitable for babies from birth, the EeZeFold stroller by Graco is a great option. It comes with the compact fold, a hood to protect your child from the sun and a rain cover. It's also compatible with a car seat which means you can use it as part of a travel set-up from newborn to toddler. And there are many accessories like a bassinet, wheeled board or leg rests for tired toddlers.

In our testing, it was easy to maneuver and tackled cobbles, bumpy roads and even some massive kerbs. It didn't feel flimsy at all which is quite impressive for a buggy that is this small and light. The only issue was that the seat did not recline, but considering it's designed to travel, this shouldn't be a problem. The handle bar is fixed at quite a high height and wasn't extremely adjustable, however it was still comfortable for short and tall adults during our test.
