Choosing a Travel Pushchair

A travel pushchair will typically be designed for slightly older babies. (Usually starting around six months). They are compact, light and ideal for trips.

The best part is that the car seat can be fitted and removed from the frame with one hand - perfect for parents on the go. Our test-driver found that the EeZeFold stroller lightweight is easy to fold and can be placed in car booties or overhead luggage compartments on planes.

Lightweight

If you're looking to travel light, there are a lot of compact-folding pushchairs near me available on the market. These pushchairs fold very small and some can fit in an overhead baggage compartment when folded with the seats on. They can also be carried using an arm or shoulder strap, making them a good option for a travel pushchair for a train, plane or bus. They're also ideal if you don't have much space in your car boot or if you live in an apartment.

Another alternative is a travel bundle that includes a main pushchair as well as an infant bassinet or carrycot. These are designed specifically for infants and newborns and allow you to keep the baby in a carrycot or bassinet until they're big enough to move into an adult seat facing you. Some of these systems include an adaptor for carseats, making it easy to attach your baby's car seat while you travel.

The stroller is the final type of travel buggy. It is best suited for older toddlers or children who do not travel long distances. Some of these buggies are also suitable from birth, depending on whether they offer the option of a lie-flat seat, or be upgraded to a one.

The GB Pockit+ is a stroller that is stylish and lightweight. It folds down to an impressively small size when folded. It is extremely maneuverable and has a cushioned handlebar that can be adjusted to suit the height of taller adults. Although it does not have an organizer for parents or a cup holder, it does include large storage baskets and a storage pockets on the rear and is well priced.

Folding is simple

When deciding on a stroller for your travels it is essential to think about how easily it will fold and maneuver. The method by the way that a pushchair folds and unfolds can vary widely between models, with certain that can be folded with just one hand whilst others require a little more effort or use of both hands. This is important as it may mean that the buggy will be more suitable for travelling, particularly by plane.

A large majority of compact folding pushchair pushchairs are designed for older infants and toddlers that can sit up, however more and more are suitable for babies from birth. This is because they feature a lie-flat seat or have the option to add a carrycot for newborns. Some are also travel system-compatible, meaning that they will accept an infant car seat and connect to the chassis.

The right pushchair accessories can make life as a parent lot more comfortable. For example, a footmuff can keep your baby warm on cold days and if it is reversible will also protect them from sun. It's worth checking whether the fabric of the pushchair can be washed by machine to make cleaning them easier.

The Bugaboo Bee is an excellent option for parents seeking a light, portable travel pushchair with a variety of features. It is among the smallest strollers that fold and a lot of airlines accept it as cabin baggage. It also has a convenient under-seat storage compartment to store other essentials for travel. It's not as compact as the YOYO or Munchkin Sparrow, but it can handle rough terrain and narrow shopping aisles and is ideal for travel.

Easy to maneuver

You may need an infant stroller with large and thick wheels that can easily traverse grass, pavements, or sandy beaches, based on where you live. Look for a pushchair with large and thick wheels which can easily maneuver over grass, pavements or sandy beaches. The wheels are typically composed of EVA or PU, a material that's both durable and gives the feel of an air tyre without the risk of punctures.

Choose a pram with a single pedal that activates both the rear wheels if you're looking for an easy to use, easy to maneuver pram. This can be placed on the left or right side of the chassis, or in the middle. It makes it easy to stop your pram even when you're busy or in a crowd. This feature was particularly useful for parents out with their older children. It also prevents you from having to juggle the handbrake and foot pedal which is great for those who don't want to take a step out of their seats too often!

Confortable

This pushchair is designed to be used from birth. It can be fitted with a Doona infant seat and chassis, which are ideal for those who travel frequently. It is constructed of top-quality materials and is available in a variety of colors. It features a fixed bar that doesn't adjust, however it was still at an ideal height in our tests for parents with larger feet. It feels much more sturdy than the average stroller, which is light in weight.

The seats are extremely comfortable, with lots of padding and adjustable straps. They can recline to provide the perfect nap. The hood is ideal to keep the sun off little heads, and it fits a cup holder and small bag behind the seats. It's also easy to fold and packs up tiny - much smaller than a laptop. It's also a great choice for people who don't drive or who want to make use of public transport frequently.

From birth

A pushchair for travel is a great option for newborns from 6 months to 6 years old. It has a seat facing both towards the parent to help bond and reassure them and away from them for them to explore their surroundings. It also often features a recline option to help baby rest in the seat.

Many parents choose to purchase a car seat as a set or as part of an entire travel system. It is possible to start your child in a carrycot and then move them to a seat unit once they are ready. This is great for flying with your child as you can move around quickly and easily.
