Compact Pushchair Reviews

Whether you're taking public transport or frequently travelling by car, a light compact stroller is an excellent option. These strollers are simpler to fold and store, and they're less likely to be damaged by baggage handlers.

These strollers are light and convenient and easy to navigate over cobblestones. They can also be easily stored in the overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The most compact pushchairs are easy to carry and, more importantly, simple to fold. Often they have a simple one-handed fold and occupy less space when folded than full-size buggies. This makes them a good option if you have limited storage space in your home or you are worried about the space you have when traveling on planes, for example.

Some also have a very small footprint when closed, which helps you to navigate tight spaces. These are the best option if you have an apartment or you want something light and easy to walk around in. However, they can be less comfortable for older children if you have to stretch their legs to move around.

There are many different types of folds to choose from, some can be accomplished with just one hand, while others require two hands or more effort. Some are designed to fit into the baggage allowances for cabin pushchair baggage on many flights, and can be carried on your shoulder using straps or handles.

Silver Cross Dune is our preferred lightweight pushchair. The Silver Cross Dune is a compact pushchair that offers all the features and thoughtful design you'd expect from this brand of the past. It has an easy-to use fold and, like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled in the box. It's an excellent choice for parents who are travelling a lot with their baby. It fits in most car trunks and smaller trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It bridges the two types of pushchairs and is a fully-functional system that is nimble. It can be used in a parent-facing mode right from birth and switched to a world-facing position as your child gets older. It also comes with a decent recline feature that's nap-friendly. It's not as compact as the Libelle, but it does come in smaller dimensions and is much easier to use on flat surfaces. It's not suited for rough terrain. The price is reasonable and the durability tests are top-notch.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel buggy, which folds down so small that it fits into an overhead luggage compartment and it weighs so little that you'll not even feel it in your car boot. It's also a great day-today stroller and our tester Hollie found it easy to steer, even while juggling her one-year-old. She appreciated the adjustable handle and lockable wheels but noted that it isn't an extremely comfortable seat. She also likes the fact that you can add other features like a reversible and washable seat cover, rain cover and an ear muff for feet.

The Babyzen YOYO is another impressively compact foldable pushchair. It isn't as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle, but it's nonetheless a great package when folded and it is easy to slot in and out of trunks and boots. It offers more newborn options in comparison to other buggies for travel. It can be equipped with the bassinet or cot for newborns as well as a bespoke ride on board for older children and an adapter for tandem seats.

The YOYO isn't the most compact pushchair for driving on uneven or rough terrain. Its tiny wheels aren't as efficient as other models we've evaluated. It's still a mobile pushchair, and the YOYO does a great job in narrow aisles and muddy paths. It's an excellent option for a family holiday pushchair or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that comes with many features for a price that is surprisingly low. It can fold down to the size of a large backpack and weighs only 6kg, so it's an ideal travel buggy to transport on planes and trains. It's also easy to steer, and our MFM test driver Matt found it enjoyable to steer, even with a toddler who was heavy was on board. He also loved the hood, which is down low enough to protect from rain and sun and facilitate naps. Its only drawback is that there isn't a storage space under the seat and you'll have to carry or hang your bag over the handlebars (against the advice of an expert!). Alternately, you can buy an additional changing bag holder to make this an ideal holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The wheels on compact pushchairs may appear small, but they often do surprisingly well, and can navigate narrow aisles for shopping or rough terrain effortlessly. The Micralite is an excellent example. Although it has small wheels, it can navigate rough pavements with ease, turn sharply on narrow roads, and handle light gravel with little problem. It also has a smooth steering system that is easy to steer with just one hand. It folds into a neat and compact box that can be easily tucked away into its bag for transport.

Most compact pushchairs are designed for toddlers and older children however, an increasing number offer a lie-flat seating or the option to add an additional carrycot (or baby car seat) to ensure they are suitable from birth. These concertina or Z fold buggies are typically light with a weight of 6-8kg. They can also be approved for cabin use by a number of airlines. MFM Editor Gemma has used hers numerous occasions and says it's extremely simple to use and pack away.

If you are looking for a compact fold then the YOYO is a fantastic choice. It was the first buggy to offer this feature. It is still a popular choice for parents who prefer it over its imitators because of its clever details and superior performance. It's the ideal option for frequent travellers particularly if you wish to avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage checkpoints and instead bring your stroller onboard with you.

The YOYO is also extremely compact and can fit into the bag with ease and having some room to spare. This makes it an ideal option for frequent travelers and those who need to fit a lot into their suitcase. It's also extremely adaptable. You can buy various accessories, including a newborn bassinet for babies, a bespoke riding board and twin travel bundles to transform it into tandem. You can also purchase a rain cover and hood to give you extra security.

Confortable

For parents wanting a lightweight, compact pushchair that's easy to operate and fits into the trunk of their car, our review expert, Hollie, recommends this Silver Cross model. The Silver Cross model's maneuverability as well as its reclined seat were among the top of our tests. It also comes with a tray for parents and a storage basket that can accommodate the size of a backpack, and it has great sun cover options (including an hood) and padded straps that help your child feel comfy.

Some compact-fold pushchairs fold so small that they're certified for use in air travel, making them ideal if you're travelling often or have a small car space in the boot. They're typically lightweight so they're easy to carry. They can also be used with an air travel system, when you choose a model that has a lie-flat seating option or a baby 'pod'.

A key thing to note when looking for a travel buggy is that not all models are in the same way. Some manufacturers claim that their compact folding pushchairs fold easily using just one hand. Others may require more effort or two hands to fold it. It is also worth checking if the seat has a recline. Some are flat and others have a slight recline that could be suitable for toddlers but not younger babies.

Make sure the model you choose is suitable for your travel plans. For instance when your destination is hot, you should look for models with mesh fabric that's vented to keep your child cool. If you're heading somewhere that's windy or rainy it is essential to ensure that your pushchair comes with a cover designed for it. Generic covers will not fit and may let water in.
