Lightweight

If you're traveling with kids it's essential to have a lightweight pushchair. This means it's easy to carry around and will take up less space in your home. It will also be more maneuverable on a plane, train or bus. You'll want a pushchair with a large basket that can fit plenty of clothes and other necessities. It should be equipped with locking swivel casters with lockable swivels that can be able to handle rough and smooth terrain.

The Babyzen Yoyo2 is one of the best lightweight pushchairs for holidays that we have tried. It has a slim curved frame and high-quality mono-colour fabric. It has a hood that can shield your child from sun and a handy cup holder for drinks. It can be folded using one hand. It is available in black, red or toffee. You can also choose grey, and is very affordable.

The Joie Tourist is another great lightweight pushchair that is ideal for trips. This stylish stroller is available in a beautiful shade of gray. It's also extremely light, weighing only 6kg. It folds down to the size that of a suitcase. It's perfect for parents who are constantly moving and require a travel-friendly pushchair. It can also be used as a stroller with the seat reclined.

If you're planning to travel with twins you should consider a lightweight double stroller such as the Mountain Buggy Nano duo. It's the smallest and lightest double pushchair available, and it's also very affordable. It's easy to fold and unfold and comes with an enormous storage basket. It also has a big hood and locking swivel wheels to be used on rough terrain.

A lightweight pushchair should also have an efficient fold mechanism that can be folded in a compact manner and be easy to carry. This makes it easier to carry your baby in taxis, trains, buses, and up and down escalators or stairs. The Joie Tourist is a great option, as it has a simple one-handed folding mechanism that can be tucked away in an overhead locker on flights. It also comes with a large hood to shield your child from sun, and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to maneuver

A compact travel buggy is ideal for those who are on vacation or just need something light to carry in the home and when visiting relatives. There are a variety of options, including ones that come with a range of extras, such as baby bassinets and a rain cover, or toddler legrest so their legs don't dangle. Most often, they have a shorter frame and simpler suspension than other full-sized buggies they may feel a little flimsy however our MFM reviewers found them all to be manageable.

A compact pushchair that is easy to maneuver will have a large storage basket so that you can carry all your essentials with you. It should also be freestanding when folded, which means it takes up less space in your home and is able to be easily moved through busy airports, or put into the car boot without sacrificing space. The ability to fold and unfold using one hand is a major benefit, especially if you're travelling alone. You'll also need a stroller that's able to go up and down steps and switch on and off escalators.

The MFM reviews revealed that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to move and, even fully loaded, it was solid enough to stand up to cobblestones and uneven roads. It's also super-easy to use on public transport and easily fits in the racks at the end of trains (it can be stored with the seat still in place). Ideal for babies starting at birth and is available in a variety of colors and a range of add-ons including a baby bassinet, raincover and footmuff. Also available as a twin travel package.

The Britax Holiday is a super compact and lightweight pushchair that can be folded down to fit into the overhead storage space or the boot of a car. It's also cabin-friendly which makes it easy to travel via air. It can be carried on your shoulder with the included strap. It's a bit difficult to use initially, but once you've got the hang of it, it's an ideal stroller for those on-the-go trips.

Our testers tried it out on daily excursions, from quick dashes for the shops to strolls through the park, and even longer trips to visit friends and family in other countries. It was simple to fold and carry and was very maneuverable in any situation. It has a large shopping basket, a full-coverage hood that protects against rain and an integrated cup holder that can fit the size of a travel cup. This pushchair is perfect for toddlers and babies from birth to four years old.

We love that it's so simple to open and close, even if you're on the go or if your hands are full with kids. It's also a very smooth pushchair to drive and the recline function is easy for toddlers to use. However, it does lack the additional support that a carrycot or bassinet provides for infants and is not suitable for use as a travel buggy.

Easy to store

When you travel with a baby, you'll be frequently into and out of taxis, trains and tubes, as well as up and down stairs or escalators so it's important to pick a light pushchair that can easily maneuver and store. Find one that folds down to an incredibly small size and then is able to stand when opened or folds into an incredibly compact flat fold, so it takes up less space in your accommodation. If you need to store your pushchair when it is not in use, a basket that is freestanding is a good option.

The Graco EeZeFold is excellent choice if you're looking for a stroller that is suitable from birth. It features a clever compact fold and hood as well as a rain cover to protect your child from the sun. It's also compatible with a car seat so you can use it as part of a travel set-up from newborn to toddler. And there are many accessories like a bassinet or a wheeled boards or leg rests for tired toddlers.

During testing it was super easy to maneuver and tackled cobbles, bumpy roads and even some massive kerbs. It didn't feel heavy or flimsy and is a huge feat for a buggy that is this small and lightweight. The only drawback was that the seat didn't recline, but as it's designed for travelling it's not a big issue. The handle bar was fixed at a very high height, and not very adjustable. However, it was comfortable for both tall and short adults during our tests.
