A compact pushchair is an ideal alternative for urban families that reside in smaller apartments or use public transportation. Many of these models can be stored in a hallway or car boot. They are light enough to be carried on the shoulder. They're also easy to unfold and bring out thanks to their compact, one-hand fold mechanisms.
Of course there are exceptions to this rule. Not all compact fold pushchairs are made equal - some have more features and functionality than others, so do make sure to go through reviews before making an investment. Contours Itsy, for example is among our top picks because it is almost assembled and folds to smaller dimensions with just two buttons to press. The model is also minimalist, which means that there aren't any extras such as a cup holder or oversized basket to add weight and make it less practical.
The Ergobaby Go takes a more considered approach to this kind of compact stroller, with a good-sized basket and plenty of padding for baby's comfort. It also comes with an adjustable wrist strap, which is usually only found on jogging strollers so it feels more secure while being carried. It is also more practical, despite its design, it still has a decent sized seat that reclines to lie flat and has a shade to keep baby protected.
The Babyzen YOYO, although not as compact as other options – and you may have to apply a bit more elbow grease to fold it - is an excellent model of a pushchair that folds easily with just one hand. This model is also incredibly lightweight and has been approved to be used as baggage on flights which makes it a great choice if you're often travelling with your child.
They're a great option for older babies
For parents whose child is no longer in the newborn stage, a compact stroller could remain a good option. Many parents notice that once their toddler is spending a lot of time walking, they're often more comfortable with a compact, lightweight pushchair for travel and local excursions instead of a large and bulky stroller with all the other accessories. The smaller strollers are also easier to maneuver on stairs and fit into car boot spaces.
Many small lightweight pushchairs are ideal for infants from birth. They can either come with a lie-flat seat, or the option of adding a car seat for infants. The UPPAbaby Mini, for example, can accept the UPPAbaby Carycot that slides over the seat fabric to allow baby to be able to sleep in a comfortable position from the pushchair during their daytime naps or overnight naps. The Aer is a little more expensive than the Minu however it offers the same solution. It is a hood that can be stowed to the front of the seat and provides a spacious and comfortable area for babies to lay in a flat position.
Some of the smaller pushchairs are now also equipped with a range of accessories to make them even more useful, including shopping bags, footmuffs, and parasols. These accessories can keep both parents and baby warm and protected from the sun's rays in colder weather. These extras can add to the cost of a lightweight pushchair but they are nonetheless cheaper than a full travel system.
If you're seeking a pushchair that folds down as small as possible, the Summer Infant 3D Lite is an excellent choice. It can fold down to the size of a backpack, and weighs in at just a little over six pounds, which makes it very easy to get into and out of taxis and cafes. While it does not have an adult pocket (you might be able fit a few dollar bills, but not much else), it does have an extendable footrest and an enormous canopy that blocks out the sun.
They're good for toddlers
Although many parents will not consider a compact stroller as their baby's first stroller, it could still be a good option when they're older. They're particularly useful for those who reside in the city and rely on public transportation because they can easily squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doors. Even if you don't live in the city, a compact stroller is an ideal option for your child if he no longer needs a travel system and you're only able to squeeze it into a small space in your home or car.
The Silver Cross Dune 2022 foldable pushchair is a prime example of a compact folding pushchair suitable for infants from birth. It features a 360-degree seat rotation system, so you can use it either as a parent-facing or 'world-facing' pram and travel system depending on the preference of your toddler. It also has a lie-flat seat and can accommodate children from age 4 to. And because of its small, compact wheels and fold-down one-hand, it's a breeze to maneuver through tight spaces or along dirt paths.
Another option is an alternative is the UPPAbaby G-Luxe, which is compatible with all popular infant car seats. It has a large canopy that gives ample sun protection (although it does not offer a peekaboo window). It's easy to clean, and the seat cushion is comfortable for even a taller toddler. It's a little tricky to fold since the ring and handle must be perfectly timed. However, once you get the hang of it, the stroller becomes simple to use.
There are several other compact pushchairs that can be used from the time of birth. These include the Chicco Liteway, and the Babyzen YOYO. The YOYO was one of the first strollers that were light to have the compact fold. The Liteway is more expensive than the YOYO, but it has better features and is suitable for children from birth to the age of 4. It can be transformed into a double buggy by using a bassinet or twin stroller travel bundles and is available in a variety of colors, such as peppermint, ginger toffee grey, black, red, or Air France blue.
