Choosing a Travel Pushchair

A travel pushchair is typically targeted at slightly older children (usually from around 6 months). They are compact, light and ideal for trips.

A great feature is that the car seat can be fitted and removed from the frame using one hand, making it ideal for parents who are on the move. The EeZeFold stroller from Graco is light and easy to fold. It can also be tucked away in the car boot or overhead luggage compartments.

Lightweight

There are numerous compact-fold pushchairs that are available. They fold up very small and some of them can fit inside an overhead luggage compartment if folded with the seat in place. They can also be carried with an arm or shoulder strap, making them a good option for a pushchair that can be used for a plane, train or bus. They are also ideal if your car boot is small or you live in an apartment.

Another alternative is a travel bundle that includes a main pushchair as well as a carrycot or bassinet. These are designed specifically for infants and newborns and permit you to keep the baby in a carrycot or a bassinet until they're big enough to be able to move to a regular seat in front of you. Some of these systems also include an adaptor for carseats which makes it simple to attach your baby's car seat when you travel.

Folding is easy

A key consideration when selecting the best travel pushchair is how simple it will be to fold and manoeuvre.

Some are also travel system compatible, which means that they can take the infant car seat and attach to the chassis.

The appropriate accessories for your pushchair can make traveling with your child a lot simpler. For instance, a footmuff will keep baby warm on chilly days, and if removable, it can also protect them from the sun. Check if the fabrics of the pushchair can be machine-washed. This will help in cleaning them.
