Choosing a Fold Up Pushchair

fold up pushchair-up pushchairs are a breeze to take on public transportation or fit in the back of your car. They are also extremely light and compact, making them ideal for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby model is among the most appealing compact folds we've seen. However, it has some limitations, such as a tiny canopy and lack of storage.

Folding is easy

When you're choosing a fold-up pushchair, you need to think about where and how you'll be using it. If you'll be travelling with baby by plane an incredibly compact and lightweight buggy is a great option since it can be placed into the overhead compartments for luggage, and is usually small enough to be carried on the shoulder when unfolded. Find a single-handed fold that is easy to operate while holding your baby and a handle that can be adjusted to height to ensure that parents and caregivers with different heights can use it comfortably. If you're going to be hiking with your baby it is essential to maneuver over uneven terrain. Check for features such as an extended recline that allows the baby to sleep comfortably while on the move and an extended sun canopy.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to be folded in one-hand, but it's best to test this out prior to purchasing to make sure it's feasible while being able to hold your child. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe was rated highly by our reviewers, due to its clever mechanism that concertinas into a package that is smaller than an umbrella. It has a pocket to store phones and keys and a recliner for the seat which can be adjusted with just a single click.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used right from birth, and include an easy-to-leap seat or the option of an additional carrycot, which means they're ideal for young babies who need to sleep during the day. If you're planning to use your travel system from the start the one-click attachment system for an infant car seat is also essential.

The Cybex Libelle is the smallest and lightest of the bunch. It folds even smaller than its counterpart, the YOYO2, (only 4cm thicker) and is easy to carry with only 6kg. It's also super-easy to use, with a straightforward fold with one hand and a reclined seat which is perfect for naps with toddlers. This model is also a good choice for hikers, as it has an oversized front swivel that can handle any terrain.

One-Handed Folding

It's always a good idea to have a folding pushchair, whether you're walking around or taking public transport or flying to a foreign land with your baby. The pressure of managing a child bags, keys, shopping bags and other essentials of everyday life while trying to fold a complicated travel system isn't a good idea therefore pushchairs that can be folded with one hand strollers are often the most preferred choices for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be collapsed by pressing one or more buttons. Some models require more effort, or even two hands, but the convenience of the process means that they are still a breeze to carry and put away. They are also lightweight and easy to transport or store in small spaces.

The G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby is an excellent example. This model is one of the most simple to fold using one hand in our roundup. It's all it takes is pulling a lever on the chassis. It can also stand up on its own, which makes it ideal to store in the corner of a cafe or a foyer.

Another model that features simple, one-handed folding is the Bugaboo Bee. It's one of the original compact-fold pushchairs, and despite being larger than others it has a simple, easy to fold. It has a great range of features, too, including a deep recline and an UPF 50+ canopy that is expandable that is designed to keep your child protected on sunny days.

Some of these compact-folded pushchairs are specifically designed for older babies and toddlers. However there are other options that can be used starting from birth. They have a complete or partial lie-flat seat and may come with the option of an infant car seat. MFM's Gemma has traveled with her son in a Babyzen YoYO - one of the first buggys of its kind. It is still a favourite. It has a slightly less compact fold than some others, but it's still very easy to handle and fits in the cabin luggage allowance on most airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds down, it takes up a tiny space, and is usually very light as well. It's especially applicable to umbrella-folded pushchairs that weigh less than 20 pounds. They're great for short walks on pavements and flat surfaces, and for easy transport between your car and other people's houses. They're also a good choice when you don't wish to purchase an all-terrain pushchair and are comfortable with your pushchair on flat surfaces.

Think about getting tyres that are air-filled if you plan to use your compact fold-up pushchair on difficult terrain, on sand, or on muddy surfaces. These tyres weigh more however they offer greater grip and traction. It's important to note that the extra weight will add to the size of your pushchair.

A majority of pushchairs that are lightweight are designed for older babies and toddlers who are able to sit on their own, but a growing number are suitable for babies from birth. This includes models like the Mamas & Papas Airo, which has a lie-flat seat and the option of incorporating an additional carrycot (sold separately) or an infant car seat to create an entire travel system. Some compact-fold strollers are able to be converted into double buggys by using a stroller board. This is great for Grandma and Grandad.

A lot of the top lightweight pushchairs are very simple to use. Some pushchairs can be opened and closed with the press of one button. Some have more complicated mechanisms, yet they require little space. Some come with a strap for your wrist that lets you keep your grip on the collapsible pushchair even when it's folded, and this could make a significant difference in how easy it is to move around.

The 3D Lite stroller from Contours is a great example of a compact stroller that's packed with features. There's a decent-sized storage basket with plenty of padding, adjustable handlebar height (for parents who are tall and short) and a reclining seating and a large protective canopy. It's also light and comes in a handy bag.

Compact

One of the primary things you will need to take into consideration when choosing a pushchair is how compact it will be when folded. Some pushchairs are very compact fold, while others are more spacious based on the overall size and features.

The compactness is essential if you plan to travel with your stroller. There are models that fold to an extremely compact size and can even be folded into a pouch, which means they can be tucked in the trunk of a car or taken on an airplane as cabin baggage. This is ideal for those who travel frequently or reside in a city area where you can't use a larger stroller daily.

The best pushchairs to consider are those that feature an easy, effortless folding process that can be completed using just one hand. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its type and has been imitated since, but it still is unique due to its clever features and superior performance.

The Babyzen YOYO has an impressively small fold that is slightly bigger than the average hand luggage allowances, making it ideal for travel. It can be utilized at the gate between taking off and catching it.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is a compact holiday pushchair which offers more space. The seat reclines completely, and there is plenty of padding to make your child comfortable. It can be used at birth, if you want to, with the addition a baby cocoon pack or carrycot (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ can also be used as a light stroller for everyday use. It is compact in fold that can be positioned upright when not in use. It's not as easy-to-use as other models, and can produce a lot of noise when you adjust its canopy. This could wake your baby.
