Choosing a Lightweight Holiday Pushchair

Whether you're jet-setting or just changing your old stroller for a trip, selecting the best travel pushchair that is lightweight will ensure your trip is enjoyable. Our test subjects were looking for a stroller that was lightweight, easy to fold and sturdy enough for daily use.

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

Lightweight

It is essential to travel with children and have an easy-to-use pushchair. It's easier to transport and take up less space in your hotel. It will also be easier to maneuver on a plane, train or bus. It is recommended to have a pushchair with an ample basket that can fit plenty of clothes and other necessities. It should be equipped with locks that allow swivel wheels to be able to handle rough and smooth terrain.

One of the lightest holiday pushchairs and buggies we've tested is the Babyzen Yoyo2. It features a compact curvaceous frame and top-quality mono-color fabric. It comes with a thick, hooded hood to shield your child from the sun, as well as the cup holder to hold drinks. It can also be folded using only one hand. It comes in black, red, toffee, or grey, and is extremely affordable.

Another great lightweight holiday pushchair is the Joie Tourist. It is a stylish-looking stroller that is available in a stunning shade of grey. It's also extremely light at just 6kg and folds down to the size of a suitcase. It's ideal for parents who are constantly in motion and require a travel-friendly pushchair. It can also be used as a stroller with the seat that reclines.

If you're planning to travel with twins, you should consider a lightweight double stroller, such as the Mountain Buggy nano duo. It is the smallest, lightest and most affordable double pushchair available. It's easy to fold and unfold and comes with a decent-sized storage basket to store your equipment. It has a big hood, locking swivels wheels, and is able to handle rougher terrain.

A light pushchair should come with an easy fold mechanism and be easy to carry. This will make it easy to transport your baby in taxis buses, trains and trains as well as to climb pushchairs and buggies descend the stairs and escalators with your baby in the stroller. The Joie Tourist is an excellent alternative because it folds into one hand and then tucked into the overhead locker of a plane. It also comes with a large hood that protects your child from sun and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to Manoeuvre

If you're traveling for a holiday or you just want a light buggy to use for home use and when visiting family, a lightweight travel pushchair up to 25kg ticks the box. There are a variety to pick from, including ones with a wide range of extras like baby bassinets, a rain cover and an infant leg rest to ensure they don't have legs hanging. They may feel fragile due to their shorter frame and a simpler suspension than full-sized buggies. However our MFM testers found that all were manageable.

A high-quality, lightweight holiday pushchair will be easy to manoeuvre and will have a large storage basket so you can carry a lot of essentials with you. It must also be freestanding when folded so it occupies less space in your accommodations and is easily pushed through busy airports or popped in the car boot without sacrificing luggage space. It's a big plus if you travel alone to be in a position to fold and unfold the stroller with only one hand. You'll also want to find a stroller that can go up and down stairs, and also on and off the escalators.

The MFM reviews found that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to move and, even fully loaded, it was solid enough to withstand cobblestones and uneven roads. It's also very easy to use on public transport and can be easily tucked away into the racks at the ends of trains (it can be stored with the seat still attached). It is suitable for babies as young as. It's available in various colors and comes with a variety of accessories, like a newborn bassinet. It's also available in a twin travel bundle.

Folding is simple

The Britax Holiday is a lightweight and compact pushchair that folds down to fit in the overhead storage area or in the trunk of a car. It is also cabin friendly, making it easy to travel by air. It can be carried on your shoulders using the included strap. It's a little difficult where to buy pushchairs use at first, but once you've mastered the use of it, it's a fantastic stroller for excursions on the go.

Our testers tried it out on a daily basis, from quick trips to the shops to strolls through the park, as well as longer trips to visit family and friends in other countries. They loved how easily it was in any environment and how easy it was to fold and carry. It comes with a spacious shopping basket, a spacious hood for rain protection and a neat cup holder that's a great fit for a travel cup. It's a great stroller for babies and toddlers from birth to 4 years old.

It's easy to open and shut, even when you are in a rush or have your hands full. It's also a smooth pushchair to drive and the recline function is simple for children to use. It does not provide the extra support that a bassinet or carrycot can provide for infants, and it is not suitable as an infant travel buggy.

Easy to store

You'll be jumping into and out of trains and taxis and hopping up and down escalators and steps with your baby. Therefore, it's important to choose a lightweight pushchair you can easily transport and store. It's best to select a stroller that folds down and stand up when opened, or folded into flat foldable so that it doesn't take up too much space in your living space. A freestanding storage basket is useful if you have to store your pushchair away when you're not being used.

If you are seeking a travel stroller that is suitable from birth, the Graco EeZeFold stroller is a fantastic choice. It has a smart compact fold, hood, and rain cover to shield your baby from the sun. It's also compatible with car seats which means you can use it as part of a travel system from newborn to toddler. And there are many accessories such as a bassinet, a wheeled board or leg rests for tired toddlers.

During our tests, it was incredibly easy to manoeuvre and tackled cobbles, bumpy roads and even some big kerbs. It didn't feel flimsy at all and is a huge feat for a vehicle this small and lightweight. The only downside was that the seat did not recline, but as it's designed for travelling this isn't a huge deal. The handle bar was fixed at a high height and wasn't very adjustable. However, it was comfortable for both tall and short adults during our tests.
