Choosing a Lightweight Holiday Pushchair

If you're traveling or are replacing your buggy, the right lightweight travel stroller will make your journey effortless. Our test subjects were looking for a stroller which was lightweight and easy to fold, as well as robust enough to be used for everyday use.

They also wanted something that would fit into the small space of planes, trains and boats.

Lightweight

It is important to travel with children and to have an easy-to-use pushchair. This means it will be lightweight to carry and will take up less space in your home. You'll also find it easier to maneuver in trains or on a plane. You'll need a stroller with a large capacity basket to fit all the clothes and other essentials. It should also have locks that allow swivel wheels to be used on rough and smooth terrain.

One of the best lightweight holiday pushchairs we've tried is the Babyzen Yoyo2. It has a small curvaceous frame and top-quality mono-color fabric. It has a cover that protects your child from sun and a handy cup holder to hold drinks. It can be folded with one hand. It is available in black, Grey Melange Babyco Arc Stroller Pram Pushchair or red, and is priced very affordably.

Another great lightweight holiday pushchair is the Joie Tourist. It's a stylish stroller that is available in a stunning shade of grey. It's also extremely light, with a weight of just 6kg. It can be folded down to size of the size of a suitcase. It's perfect for parents who require a pushchair that's easy to transport. It can even be used as a pram with its seat that can recline!

If you're planning to travel with a twin baby you should consider a lightweight dual stroller like the Mountain Buggy Nano duo. It is the smallest, most lightweight and affordable double pushchair that is available. It's easy to fold and unfold, and comes with a decent-sized storage basket for your items. It has a big hood, locking swivels wheels and can withstand rough terrain.

A well-designed, lightweight pushchair should also feature a compact folding mechanism, and should be easy to carry on your shoulders. This allows you to easily transport your baby in taxis trains, buses and up and down stairs or escalators. The Joie Tourist is a great option, as it features an easy one-hand folding mechanism that can be tucked away into an overhead locker on flights. It also has a huge hood that protects your child from the sun and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to manoeuvre

A compact travel buggy is perfect for those who are on holiday or just need something lightweight to use in the home and when visiting relatives. There are many options, including ones that come with a range of accessories, like a newborn bassinet and rain cover, or toddler legrest so that their legs don't dangle. A lot of them have a smaller frame and a simpler suspension than other buggies of the same size, they can feel a little flimsy however our MFM reviewers found them all to be easy to handle.

A high-quality, lightweight holiday pushchair will be easy to maneuver and have a large storage basket so you can carry a lot of essentials with you. It should also be able to stand on its own when folded, which means it takes up less space in your home and can easily be pushed through busy airports or put into the car boot without sacrificing luggage space. The ability to fold and unfold using one hand is a huge advantage, especially for those traveling by yourself. You'll need a stroller that you can use on and off escalators, as well as to climb and descend stairs.

The MFM reviews revealed that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to maneuver and, even when fully loaded, it felt solid enough to stand up to cobblestones and bumpy roads. It is also simple to use on public transportation and fits into the end racks of train cars (with the seat still attached). It's suitable for infants as young as. It comes in several colors and comes with a range of accessories, like bassinets for newborns. It's also available in twin travel bundles.

Easy to fold

The Britax Holiday is a lightweight and compact pushchair that folds down to fit inside overhead storage or the boot of a car. It's also cabin friendly for easy air travel and you can put it on your shoulder with an strap that is integrated. It's not easy to use initially but once you get the hang of it, it's an excellent stroller for on-the-go trips.

Our testers tested it on a daily basis from quick trips to the shops to park strolls, and more extended trips to visit relatives and friends abroad. They were impressed by how maneuverable it was in all kinds of environments and how easy to fold and carry. It comes with a large shopping basket, a spacious hood that protects against rain, and a neat cup holder that's a good option for a travel-sized cup. This pushchair is great for toddlers and infants from birth to four years.

It's so easy to open and shut even when you're in a rush or have a lot on your hands. It's also a comfortable pushchair, and the recline feature is easy to use for young children. It does not provide the extra support that a carrycot or a bassinet can provide for infants and is not suitable as an infant travel buggy.

Our rigorous testing process combines the experience of our panel as well as our consumer research in order to produce a thorough buyer's guide. We have narrowed down our list of strollers by not including those that weigh more than 7kg and can't fold up into a compact size. We also have selected items that are available at different prices, to meet various budgets. This allows you to choose a pushchair for travel that is suitable for your requirements.

Easy to store

You'll be hopping in and out of trains and taxis as well as going up and down escalators and steps with your child. It's therefore important to select a lightweight pushchair that you can easily transport and store. Find one that folds down to a small size and is able to stand when opened, or pops into a compact flat fold so it occupies less space in your home. If you need to store your pushchair when not in use, a freestanding storage basket is a good option.

If you're seeking a travel stroller that is suitable for babies from birth the EeZeFold stroller from Graco is a great choice. It has an easy fold, a hood to protect your child from the sun, and a rain cover. It's also compatible with a car seat and can be used as part of a travel set-up from newborn to toddler. And there are plenty of add-ons like a bassinet, wheeled board or leg rests for tired toddlers.

In our testing, it was easy to manoeuvre and tackled cobbles, bumpy roads and even some massive kerbs. It was extremely sturdy for a lightweight and small buggy. The only drawback was that the seat couldn't recline, but considering it's designed for travelling it's not a big issue. The handle bar is fixed at quite high levels and isn't very adjustable, but it still felt comfortable for tall and short adults during our test.
