Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs buggies fold up easily and are easy to carry. They are usually easy to fold with one hand and take up less space when folded than full size buggies. They're a good option if you don't have much space in your home, or if you're worried about space restrictions when traveling.

Some have a tiny footprint when they are closed, making them ideal for tight spaces. They are the ideal choice for those who live in apartments, or want something lightweight and nimble for everyday walking. They can be uncomfortable for older children who have to extend their legs in order to move around.

There are a range of different fold types on the market that are one-handed and others requiring an extra effort or two hands to complete. Some are designed to be as small as they are able to be, which means they can be tucked away in the cabin baggage allowances on many flights or be carried on your back using a strap or handle.

In terms of a very light pushchair, our top pick is the Silver Cross Dune. The Silver Cross Dune is a compact running pushchair that comes with all the features and thoughtful design that you would expect from this heritage brand. It features an easy-to-use fold and, like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled inside the box. It's a great choice for parents who plan to travel extensively with their baby and can be tucked away in most car boots and small trunk spaces.

Another good option is an alternative is Cybex Mios, which straddles both categories of pushchair as an all-purpose travel system that has agility and a compact fold. It can be used in parent-facing mode from birth and then switched to a world-facing position when your child grows older. It also has a decent recline feature that's nap-friendly. It's not as compact as the Libelle however it's a bit smaller and easier to use on flat surfaces. It is not suitable for rough terrain. The price is affordable and the durability tests are very good.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel stroller, folding up so small that it can be tucked away in an overhead compartment for luggage, and it weighs so little that you'll not even feel it in your car boot. It's also a great day-to-day stroller and our test driver Hollie found it easy to steer, even while juggling her one-year-old. She liked the adjustable handle as well as the lockable wheels and reclined seat. However, she did note that it was not particularly comfortable. However, she also likes the possibility to add additional features, such as the washable, reversible seat liner, rain cover, and an muff for the foot.

The Babyzen YoYO is a different, impressively compact fold pushchair. It's not as sleek as the Cybex Libelle, but it's still a very neat foldable product that can be easily slotted in and out of trunks and boots. It has more options for newborns in comparison to other buggies for travel. You can add the bassinet or cot for newborns, as well as an individual ride on board for older kids and a tandem seat adapter.

The YOYO is not the most compact pushchair for driving on uneven or rough terrain. Its tiny wheels do not perform as well as other models that we have test. However, it's an extremely maneuverable pushchair and the YOYO is capable of maneuvering narrow shopping aisles and muddy pathways. It's an excellent option for a holiday or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 offers a remarkably streamlined list of features for its affordable price. It folds down to the size and weight of a large bag and is easy to carry on trains and planes. It's also very easy to use and our MFM reviewer Matt found it enjoyable to steer, even with a heavy toddler in the. The hood is also a benefit, since it can be adjusted to provide shade and protection from rain and sun. It's ideal for nap time. Its only drawback is that there's no storage under the seat and you'll have to carry or delicately hang your bag on the handlebars (against the advice of an expert!). You can also buy a separate changing bag holder to make it a perfect holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on small pushchairs might appear Small Pushchair, but they typically perform surprisingly well, navigating narrow shopping aisles or rough terrain effortlessly. The Micralite is a prime example - despite having very small wheels, it can handle rough roads with ease and is able to turn sharply on narrow roads and can handle some small gravels without a lot of difficulty. It also has a slick steering system that is a breeze to steer with just one hand. And it folds down into a very neat and compact package which fits snugly into its accompanying bag for transport.

The majority of compact pushchairs are designed for toddlers and older infants, but an increasing number offer a lie-flat seating or the option of adding an extra carrycot (or baby car seat) to ensure they are suitable from birth. These clever concertina or Z fold buggies are typically light at 6-8kg and can be cabin approved by a wide range of airlines, making them ideal for travel. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on numerous occasions and is able to use and store.

If you're looking for a compact fold, then the YOYO is an excellent choice. It was the first buggy to feature this feature. It is still a popular choice for parents who prefer it to its imitators because of its unique design and superior functionality. It's an excellent choice for frequent travelers, especially when they want to stay clear of the stress of waiting in lines at baggage collection by taking their stroller with them.

The YOYO also comes in a very compact size, which can be stuffed into its accompanying carrying bag with ease and even plenty of room. This makes it an ideal choice for frequent travellers and those who need to pack a lot in their luggage. It's also extremely adaptable - you can purchase various accessories for it including a newborn bassinet, bespoke ride-on board and twin travel bundle to turn it into an equilateral. You can also buy an umbrella and rain cover to give you added security.

Confortable

Hollie is our reviewer who recommends the Silver Cross model to parents looking for a lightweight compact pushchair. It's easy-to-use and fits into the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclining seat are among the top in our tests. It has a parent's tray as well as a storage basket that fits small backpacks, and excellent sun-cover options.

Some compact strollers fold so small that they're certified for use on planes by the cabin. This makes them perfect when you frequently travel or are limited in your car boot. They're typically lightweight to make them easy to carry and can be used in conjunction with a travel system, if you opt for a model that has a lie-flat seat or comes with an optional baby pod or one of two luxury folding carrycots.

One of the most important things to consider when looking for a travel buggy is that not all models are equal. Certain brands claim that their compact-folding pushchairs fold easily with just one hand. Others may require more effort or two hands to fold it. Examine if the seat reclines. Some are flat, whereas others have a slight recline. This is a good thing for toddlers, but not for younger babies.

Check that the model you pick is appropriate for your travel plans. For instance If you're going to a hot destination then you should choose one with mesh fabric that's vented to keep your child cool. If you're planning to travel somewhere that is windy or rainy, you should make sure that your pushchair comes with a cover designed for it. Covers that are generic won't fit and could let water in.
