If you're taking public transportation or are frequently traveling by car, a light compact stroller is a good choice. These strollers are simpler to fold and store, and they're also less likely to be damaged by baggage handlers.

These lightweight travel strollers are comfortable and easy to navigate over cobblestones. Additionally, they can be easily stored in the overhead compartments of planes.

Lightweight

The best compact pushchairs fold up easily and are easy to carry. They typically have a one-handed fold and take up less space when folded than full-size buggies. They are a good choice when you don't have lots of space in your home, or if you're concerned about space limitations when traveling.

Some have a tiny footprint when they are closed, making them ideal for small spaces. These are the best choice when you live in an apartment or need something light and easy to walk around in. They can be uncomfortable for older children who need to extend their legs in order to move around.

There are many different types of folds available, some can be completed with just one hand, while others require two hands or more effort. Some are designed to fit into the baggage allowance for cabins on a variety of flights, or can be carried over your shoulder using straps or handles.

In terms of a very lightweight pushchair, our favourite is the Silver Cross Dune. This offers all the smart design and innovative features you would expect from the storied brand however, it comes in a more compact package. It comes with an easy-to-use fold and, like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled inside the box. It's a great choice for parents who intend to travel extensively with their child and can fit into most car boots and small trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It is a bridge between the two categories of pushchairs to provide a fully functional system with nimbleness. It can be used in a parent-facing mode from birth, and changed to world-facing as your child gets older. It also comes with an adequate reclining feature that is nap-worthy. It's not as compact as the Libelle, but it's a smaller package and is easier to operate on flat surfaces. It's not ideal for rough terrain, but. Another benefit is a very affordable cost and outstanding durability tests.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro makes the perfect travel buggy. It folds up so small it can fit into an overhead compartment for luggage and weighs such a small amount that you won't even notice it in your boot. It's also a good day-to-day stroller, and our test-driver Hollie found it easy to steer, even while juggling her one-year-old. She liked the adjustable handle and lockable wheels however, she noted that it's not an extremely comfortable seat. However, she also appreciates the ability to add additional features, such as an reversible, washable seat liner, rain cover and a foot muff.

The Babyzen YOYO fold pushchair is another stroller that folds down compactly. It isn't as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle, but it's still a very neat foldable product that can be easily slotted in and out of trunks and boots. It also offers more newborn options than some other buggies, including the option of adding the bassinet or cot for newborns and a custom ride-on board designed for older children and a tandem double seat adapter.

It's not the most compact buggy for driving on uneven or rough terrain, and its tinier wheels don't perform as well as other models we have tested. It's still a maneuverable pushchair, and the YOYO is great at in narrow aisles and muddy paths. It's an excellent option for a holiday or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 offers a remarkably simple list of features at its affordable price. It folds down to the size and weight of a large bag and is easy to carry on trains and planes. It's also easy to steer, and our MFM tester Matt found it enjoyable to steer, even when a heavy toddler was on board. The hood is another advantage, as it can be adjusted to shade you and protect from rain and sun. It's perfect for napping. The only drawback is that there's no under-seat storage and you'll have to carry or drape your bag on the handlebars (against the advice of a professional!). Alternately, you can buy a separate changing bag holder, making this an ideal holiday buggy.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Wheels on compact pushchairs could look small, yet they are often surprisingly good in navigating narrow aisles and rough terrain. The Micralite is an excellent example. Despite having tiny wheels, it can handle bumpy pavements easily and sharply turn on narrow roads and even tackle some light gravel with little problem. It has a smooth steering system that is easy to use with just one hand. It folds down into an elegant and compact package which fits perfectly in its accompanying carrying case.

The majority of compact pushchairs are made for older babies and toddlers However, a growing number offer a lie-flat seating or the option to add an additional carrycot (or baby car seat) to make them suitable from the time of birth. These clever concertina or Z fold buggies are usually light at 6-8kg and can be cabin approved on many airlines, making them ideal for travel. MFM Editor Gemma says she has used it on many occasions and has found it easy to use and to store.

If you're looking for a truly compact fold, the YOYO is the top of the compact category and was the first strollers of this kind. It's still a preferred choice for parents who prefer it to its competitors due to its unique design and superior functionality. It's a great option for frequent travelers, especially if they want to avoid the frustration of waiting in line for baggage collection by bringing their stroller along.

The YOYO is also available in a compact size, which can be stuffed into the bag with ease and even some space to spare. This makes it a great option for frequent travellers and those who need to carry a lot of stuff in their suitcase. It's also extremely adaptable. You can buy a variety of optional accessories, such as a newborn bassinet for babies, a bespoke riding boards and twin travel bundles that turn it into tandem. You can also purchase an umbrella and rain cover to ensure your safety.

Confortable

If you're a parent looking for a light compact pushchair that is 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 reclining chair were among the top of our tests. It also has a handy parent's tray and storage basket that can fit a small backpack, plus it comes with great sun-cover options (including the one-piece hood) and padded straps that help your child to feel comfortable.

Some compact-fold pushchairs fold down so small that they're suitable for air travel in a cabin, making them ideal if you travel frequently or have a small car boot space. They're typically light and compact, making them easy to carry around, and can be used with a travel system, if you select a model with a lie-flat seat or comes with an optional baby pod or one of two luxury foldable carrycots.

When looking for a excursion, it's important to keep in mind that not all models of a buggy are made equal. Some brands claim that their compact-folding pushchairs are able to fold with just one hand. Others might require more effort or two hands to fold it. It's also worth determining if the buggy has a seat recline. Some are completely flat, while others have only an incline that may be suitable for toddlers, but not for infants.

Make sure the model you select is appropriate for your travel plans. For instance when your destination is hot it is recommended to choose models with mesh fabric vented to keep your child cool. Also, if you're planning to go somewhere that is windy or rainy ensure that the pushchair you buy has an appropriate cover designed specifically for it. generic covers will not fit and could let water in.
