Compact Pushchair Reviews

A compact stroller that is lightweight will be an ideal option for you if you travel frequently on public transportation or in a car. They are easy to fold and store, and they're also less likely to get damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers that are lightweight are convenient and easy to navigate over cobblestones. They also fit in overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The best pushchair for newborn compact pushchairs are easy to carry, and even more importantly, easy to fold. Often they have a simple one-handed fold and occupy less space when folded than full-size buggies. This makes them a good option if you have limited storage space in your home or are concerned about space restrictions when traveling particularly by plane.

Some have a tiny footprint when they are closed, which makes them perfect for small spaces. They are the best option if you reside in an apartment or just want something nimble and lightweight for your daily walking. They aren't ideal for older children who have to extend their legs in order to move around.

There are a variety of different fold types available on the market that are one-handed, while others require a little more effort or two hands to complete. Some are designed to fit within the baggage allowance for cabins on many flights, and can be carried on your shoulder with a strap or handle.

Silver Cross Dune is our most loved lightweight pushchair. The Silver Cross Dune is a compact pushchair that comes with all the features and thoughtful design that you would expect from a brand with a long history. It features an easy-to-use fold and, like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled in the box. It's a great option for parents who will be traveling a lot with their child. It can be tucked away in the majority of car trunks and small trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It is a bridge between the two categories of pushchairs and is a fully-functional system with nimbleness. It can be used from birth in parent-facing mode and then switched to a world-facing mode as your child gets older, and it also has a comfortable recline that's suitable for napping. It isn't quite as compact as the Libelle however, it comes in smaller size and is easier to operate on flat surfaces. It's not suitable for rough terrain. The price is very affordable and the durability tests are very good.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro makes the perfect travel buggy. It folds down so small it can fit into an overhead luggage compartment and weighs so light that you'll barely feel it in your car. It's also a great day-to-day stroller and our tester Hollie found it easy to steer even while carrying her toddler. She was impressed by the adjustable handle as well as the lockable wheels and reclined seat. However, she noted that it was not very comfortable. She also likes the fact that you can add extras such as a reversible and washable seat cover, rain cover and an ear muff for feet.

The Babyzen YoYO fold pushchair is a similar stroller that folds compactly. It isn't as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle, but it's nevertheless a fantastic pack when folded. It can be easily slotted in and out of trunks and car boots. It also has more newborn options than some other buggies, including the option of adding an infant cot or bassinet as well as a custom ride-on board for older children and a tandem double seat adapter.

The YOYO isn't the most compact pushchair for driving on rough or uneven terrain. Its small wheels also do not perform as well as other models we've evaluated. It's still a easily maneuverable pushchair, and YOYO is great at of navigating narrow aisles and muddy paths. It's a good option for a family vacation or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that offers a host of features for a price that is surprisingly low. It can be folded down to the size and weight of a big bag and is simple to carry on trains and planes. It's also easy to steer, and our MFM test driver Matt found it an absolute joy to steer even with a large toddler was aboard. He also liked the hood that slides down low enough to protect from sun and showers and facilitate napping. The only drawback is that there's no storage under the seat and you'll have to carry or hang your bag over the handlebars (against expert advice!). Alternately, you can buy a separately sold changing bag holder to make this an ideal holiday buggy.

Easy to maneuver

The wheels on compact pushchairs may appear small, but they often are surprisingly efficient, navigating narrow shopping aisles or rough terrain with ease. The Micralite is an excellent example. Despite having tiny wheels, it is able to handle bumpy pavements easily, turn sharply on narrow roads, and tackle some light gravel with ease. It has an easy-to-use steering system that is easy to operate using just one hand. It folds down into a sleek and compact box that is easily fit into its bag for transport.

Most compact pushchairs are designed for toddlers and older children however, an increasing number offer a lie-flat seat or the option of adding an additional carrycot (or baby car seat) to ensure they are suitable from the time of birth. These clever concertina or Z-fold buggies are typically lightweight at around 6-8kg and can be cabin approved by a wide range of airlines, making them perfect for travel. MFM Editor Gemma has used hers on many occasions and says it's extremely simple to use and pack away.

If you're in search of a truly tiny fold one, the YOYO is the ultimate model in the compact category and was one of the first buggy of this kind. It is still a popular choice for parents who prefer it over its competitors due to its unique design and superior performance. 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 an extremely compact size, which can be stuffed into its carry bag easily and with some space to spare. It is a great option for frequent travelers, especially those who need to carry lots of things into their suitcase. It's also extremely adaptable - you can purchase various accessories for it including a newborn bassinet, bespoke ride-on boards and a twin travel bundles to transform it into a tandem. You can also purchase rain covers and hoods to ensure your safety.

Comfortable

For parents wanting a lightweight, compact pushchair that's easy to operate and fits into the trunk of their car, our reviewer, Hollie, recommends this Silver Cross model. The Silver Cross model's maneuverability as well as its reclined chair were among the best of our tests. It comes with a tray for parents, the storage basket which can be used to fit the size of a backpack, and fantastic sun shade options.

Some compact-fold pushchairs fold down so tiny that they're certified for use in air travel and are ideal for when you travel frequently or have a tight car boot space. They're usually light to make them easy for you to carry. They can also be used as an air travel system, if you select a version with a lie-flat seat, or a newborn "pod".

A key thing to note when searching for a travel buggy is that not all models are to be the same. Certain brands claim that their compact-folding pushchairs fold easily using just one hand. Others may require more effort or two hands to fold it. It's also worth checking whether the seat has a recline. Some are flat, while others have only a slight recline that could be suitable for toddlers, but not for infants.

You'll also want to check whether the model you're looking at is specifically designed for the type of travel you're planning on doing, such as if you're going somewhere hot you should look for one with a vented mesh fabric to keep your child cool. Also, if you're planning to go to a place that is windy or rainy, ensure that the stroller you buy comes with an appropriate cover to go with it - generic covers will not fit and could let water in.
