The price is very affordable and the durability tests are excellent.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro makes the perfect travel buggy. It folds up so compactly that it can fit into an overhead compartment for luggage and weighs so little that you won't even be able to tell it's there in your trunk. It's also a great stroller for everyday use. Our tester Hollie discovered that it was easy to steer, even when carrying a baby of just one year old. She liked the adjustable handle as well as the lockable wheels and reclining seat. However, she said that it wasn't particularly 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 nonetheless a great foldable product that can be easily slotted in and out of trunks and boots.

It isn't the most compact buggy to drive on rough or uneven terrain, and its small Pushchair wheels aren't as efficient as other models we've tested. It is still a very mobile pushchair, and the YOYO is great at navigating narrow aisles and muddy paths. It's ideal for a holiday or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 offers a remarkably simplified list of features for its competitive price.

It's also a breeze to operate and our MFM reviewer Matt was a joy to steer, even with a heavy toddler in the. He also loved the hood, which comes down low enough to shield from sun and showers and aid naps. Its only drawback is that there's no storage under the seat and you'll have to carry or drape your bag on the handlebars (against the advice of a professional!). You can also buy an additional changing bag holder for this buggy to make it a great holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on small pushchairs might appear small, but they typically perform surprisingly well, navigating narrow aisles of shopping or rough terrain easily. The Micralite is an excellent example. Although it has small wheels, it is able to handle bumpy roads easily and turn swiftly on narrow roads and even tackle some light gravel with ease. It also has a smooth steering system that is easy to steer with just one hand. It folds down into an attractive and compact box which fits perfectly in its accompanying carrying case.

Confortable

Parents who want a light, compact pushchair that's easy to operate and fits into the trunk of their car, our review expert, Hollie, recommends this Silver Cross model.

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

When you are looking for a good excursion, it's important to keep in mind that not all models of buggy are made equal. Some manufacturers claim that their compact folding pushchairs can easily be folded using just one hand. Others may require more effort or two hands to fold it. It's also worth determining if the buggy comes with a seat recline. Some are completely flat with a slight recline, while others have a slight recline that could be fine for toddlers but not for infants.

Make sure the model you select is suitable for your travel plans. For example, if your destination is hot then you should choose models with mesh fabric that is vented to keep your child cool. If you're planning to travel somewhere that is wet or windy it is important to ensure that the pushchair is equipped with a cover designed for it. Generic covers will not fit and could let water in.
