Choosing a Travel Pushchair

A travel pushchair is usually designed for babies that are slightly older (usually from around 6 months). They are small, light and perfect for holidays.

One of the best features is that the car seat can be positioned and removed from the frame using one hand - perfect for parents on the go. Our tester found the Graco EeZeFold stroller light and compact is easy to fold and easily fits in car boots or overhead luggage compartments on planes.

Lightweight

There are many compact-folding pushchairs on the market. They fold up very small and some even fit into an overhead luggage compartment if folded with the seat in place. These buggys can be carried with a handle or shoulder strap. They're an excellent option for pushchairs used for travel on trains, planes, and buses. They are also great for cars with small or you live in an apartment.

A travel system bundle is another option. It includes a primary pushchair, a bassinet, or carrycot, as well as the main pushchair. These are usually designed for newborns and babies and let you keep your baby in the comfortable bassinet or carrycot until they're large enough to move to a normal seat facing you. Some of these systems include an adaptor for cars which makes it simple to attach the car seat to your baby when you are travelling.

Easy to fold

One of the primary factors to consider when choosing the right travel pushchair is how simple it is to fold and manoeuvre. The ease at which a travel pushchair can be folded and unfolded varies dramatically between models. Some require only one hand, while others may require both hands or a bit more effort. This is crucial because it could mean that the buggy is better suited for travel, especially via plane.

Many compact folding pushchairs cater to older toddlers and babies that can sit up. However, an increasing number of them are suitable for newborns. This is usually due to having an adjustable seat that can be sat on, or the option to include an infant carrying cot. Some are travel system compatible. This means they can take an infant car safety seat and connect it to the chassis.

The appropriate accessories for your pushchair will help make your journey with your child a lot more comfortable. A footmuff, as an example will keep your child warm during chilly days. If it's reversible, it will also protect him from the sun. Make sure that the fabric of the stroller can be machine-washed. This will make cleaning them easier.

Easy to manoeuvre

Depending on where you live and your travel plans, you may require a pushchair to be able to handle a variety of terrains. Look for a stroller with large, thick wheels that can easily move over pavements, grass, or sandy beaches. These wheels are made of EVA or PU. They are durable and provide the feel of an air tyre, but without the danger of punctures.

If you're looking for an easy to use pushchair that is easy to manoeuvre, choose one with a single brake pedal that turns on both rear wheels. It can be located on the right or left side of the chassis or in the middle. It allows you to stop your pushchair even when you're in the middle of a crowd. This feature is particularly helpful for parents traveling with their children who were older.
