How to Choose the Best Travel Pushchair

If you are planning a trip to another country with your child, you'll require a stroller for travel that folds up easily and stand on its own when closed. You'll also want to look for one that has an adequate-sized basket as well as a fully-reclining GYMAX Double Seat Stroller: Adjustable Handle Grey.

It's also worth ensuring that your travel pushchair is cabin-approved and has a suitable handle height for parents of all sizes.

Folds easily and folds away

If you're planning to travel with your child it is essential to select a pushchair that folds quickly and easily. This will make it much easier for you to carry the stroller out and in of your car boot or carry up the stairs. It must be small enough to fit in the overhead storage compartment on a plane, too.

If you're in search of a light travel pushchair or a larger model, there are plenty of options to choose from. The best ones come with a one-handed fold and are freestanding when closed. Find a compact stroller with large baskets which can accommodate your luggage.

Mountain Buggy Colugo is another stroller that's smaller and lighter. It's more expensive but still has a wide range of features, including an easy fold that can be folded with one hand, as well as a spacious storage basket. However, it does not offer the same smooth maneuverability as the Yoyo and may not be able to fit in overhead storage on some flights.

It features a dual-sided lock on the wheels that makes it more stable and durable than other strollers. This is a great option if you plan to spend a lot of time outside or in areas with rough terrain.

Lightweight

The ideal stroller for traveling is one that you can easily move and carry. This is the case regardless of whether you're climbing stairs on public transportation or trying to fit it into an overhead baggage compartment in an airplane. It also has to be small enough to fit in a car boot that isn't taking up all the space, and freestanding when folded. Some brands have gone a step further, creating strollers that fold so compactly that they can fit in the corner of your seat!

The disadvantage of light travel pushchairs is that they tend to be less durable than other models. Designers have to sacrifice features like basket space to keep them light. However, they are durable enough for daily use and can handle uneven pavements - and some have the added benefit of being cabin-friendly so that you can carry them on flights.

If you're planning on using your new travel pushchair on holiday trips, check that it comes with a sunshade and rain cover. It is recommended to spend the extra money for an item specifically designed for your model, rather than a generic cover. It will fit better and keep water out.
