Choosing a Travel Pushchair

A travel pushchair is likely to be designed for slightly older children. (Usually between six and eight months). They are compact, light and ideal for trips.

The car seat can be removed and put back on by one hand, which is perfect for parents who are constantly on the move. Our test subject found that the Graco EeZeFold stroller light and compact is easy to fold and can be placed in car boots or overhead luggage compartments on planes.

Lightweight

There are many compact-folding pushchairs on the market. These pushchairs fold extremely compactly and some can fit in an overhead compartment for baggage when folded with the seats on. They can be carried with a handle or shoulder strap. They're an excellent choice for travel pushchairs for trains, planes and buses. They are also ideal if your car boot is small or you reside in an apartment.

A travel system bundle is an alternative. It includes a primary pushchair walker, a bassinet, or carrycot and the main pushchair. These are designed for infants and newborns and permit you to keep the baby in a carrycot or a bassinet until they are big enough to move to an adult seat facing you. Some of these systems include a car adaptor that makes it easy to connect the car seat for your baby when you are travelling.

A final type of travel buggy is a stroller which is best used for older toddlers and children who aren't walking for long distances. Some of these buggies are suitable for babies, based on whether they offer the option of a lie-flat seat, or be upgraded to one.

The GB Pockit+ stroller is a stylish, light stroller that folds down to a smaller size. It is extremely easy to maneuver and has a comfortable handlebar that is adjusted to suit the height of taller adults. It does not have a cup holder or an organizer for parents, however it has an enormous storage bag as well as a rear storage pocket.

Folding is easy

A key consideration when selecting a travel pushchair makes is how simple it is to fold and maneuver. The method in which a pushchair folds and unfolds can vary greatly between models, with some offering a simple one-handed operation whilst others require a little more involvement or the use of both hands. This is important, as it could mean that the buggy will be more suitable for travel, particularly by plane.

Many compact folding pushchairs target older toddlers and babies that can sit up. However, a growing number of pushchairs are suitable for infants. It's because they usually have the option of a lie-flat seat or the option to include a carrying cot for newborns. Some are travel system compatible. This means they can accept an infant car safety seat and connect it to the chassis.

Having the right pushchair accessories can make life on the road as a parent a much easier. For instance, a sock can help keep baby warm during cold days and if it is removable, it can also protect them from sun. Make sure that the fabric of the stroller can be machine-washed. This will make cleaning them easier.

For parents looking for a truly light, portable travel pushchair that comes with a lot of features The Bugaboo Bee is a good option. It's one of the smallest pushchairs when folded and is approved for cabin baggage on many airlines. It also has a convenient under-seat storage area for other essentials for travel. It's not as compact as the YOYO or Munchkin Sparrow, but it performs well on rough terrain and narrow shopping aisles and is ideal for travel.

Easy to maneuver

Depending on your location or your travel plans, you may require a collapsible pushchair that is able to handle different terrains. Choose a stroller that has big, sturdy wheels that are able to easily move over grass, pavements, or sandy beaches. They are typically constructed of PU or EVA which is a material that's durable and gives the feel of an air tyre but without the danger of punctures.

If you want a simple to use pram that's easy to manoeuvre, choose one that has a single brake pedal which activates both rear wheels. This can be on the right or left side of the chassis, or in the middle. It allows you to stop your pushchair when you're in the middle of a crowd. Parents who tested this feature found it particularly useful when out and about with their older children. It also prevents you from having to juggle the handbrake and pedal for your feet which is great for those who don't wish to leave their seat too often!

It is much more solid than a typical lightweight stroller.
