If you're traveling with kids, a stroller for travel (or pram, as the Brits refer to them) can simplify your life. These lightweight pushchairs pack up flat and can be tucked away in car booties and overhead storage compartments.

They also have features such as a parent pocket, reclining seat and extendable footrest. They are an excellent choice for long journeys, especially in foreign countries.

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight travel buggy, look into the Babyzen Yoyo. This pushchair is an award-winning option, and features a smooth one-handed fold that is operated with the push of a button. It is very lightweight with a weight of just 6kg. It can be folded into a bag that's the size of a small backpack. It also comes with a baby bassinet as well as a car seat adapter which means it can be used from birth.

There are many other compact travel pushchairs available, but you should read reviews before buying to determine which is the best for your family. The fold, storage space and weight limit are crucial factors to consider. You should also think about the handlebar height as some might be uncomfortable for parents who are taller and smaller.

The Joolz Micralite is another great option for travelers. It features a unique one-handed folding mechanism and weighs only 6kg. It has a compact footprint and folds down to being less than the Cybex Libelle. It also has a decent recline, and is suitable for children ranging from to 4 years old.

They're easy to store

If you're a urban family living in a tiny apartment or using public transport, a compact pushchair could be the best choice for you. Most of these models are light enough to be carried over the shoulder, or placed flat in the back of your car's boot or inside the hallway. They're also simple to unfold and pull out thanks to their compact, one-hand folding mechanisms.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule. Not all compact fold pushchairs are made with the same features. Some have more features and functions than others, so make sure to read reviews carefully before you make the purchase. Contours Itsy, for example, is one of our top picks because it is nearly assembled and folds down to smaller dimensions with just two buttons pressed. This model is also fairly stripped down. It doesn't have extras like an holder for cups or a basket that is too large that could make it more heavy and less useful.

In contrast, the Ergobaby Go takes a more carefully-thought approach to this kind of compact pushchair, featuring a large basket and plenty of padding to ensure the baby's safety. It also has the wrist strap that is typically found on jogging strollers, making it more secure while being pushed along. It also has a spacious seat that can recline to lie flat and a sunshade for baby protection.

The Babyzen YOYO, although not as compact as some other options – and you may need to use a bit of elbow grease to unfold it - is an excellent example of a stroller that folds in one hand. It's light and approved for use on flights. It's an excellent choice for families who travel with their child often.

They're a good choice for older babies

A compact pushchair can be useful for parents who have children that are no longer in the newborn stage. Many parents find that once their toddler is doing a lot of walking, they're often more comfortable with a compact, lightweight pushchair for travel and local excursions instead of a large heavy full-size stroller that comes with all the extra accessories. The smaller strollers are also more maneuverable on stairs and can fit into car boot spaces.

A variety of small lightweight pushchairs are suitable for infants from birth. They either have an adjustable seat that can be slid down, or they can be fitted with a car seat for infants. For instance, the UPPAbaby Minu can be used with the UPPAbaby Carrycot, which can be positioned on top of the fabric of the seat and allows baby to lie comfortably in the pushchair for naps during the night or daytime naps. The Aer, which is a little more expensive than the Minu provides a similar solution by attaching an hood to the front of the seat, offering a generous and comfortable lie-flat space for babies.

Some smaller pushchairs come equipped with different accessories that make them more practical. These include footmuffs, and shopping bags. These accessories can keep the baby and the parent warm and protected from the sun's rays in colder weather. These additional accessories can increase the cost of a lightweight pushchair but they are still less expensive than a complete travel system.

Summer Infant 3D Light is a great option for those who are looking for a compact pushchair. It folds down to the size of a backpack and is very lightweight at just over 6 kilograms which makes it easy to lift in and out of taxis and cafes. It doesn't have pockets for parents (you could carry a few dollars but not much more) However, it does come with the option of a footrest which can be extended, as well as an umbrella that blocks out the sun.

They're a great choice for toddlers

Although many parents will not consider a compact pushchair as their infant's first stroller, it could still be a good option once they're a bit older. They're particularly helpful for those who reside in a city and rely on public transportation and can easily fit through narrow spaces and doors. Even if you don't live in a city A compact pushchair is an excellent option when your child doesn't require any more travel equipment and you don't have the space in your car's trunk or at home for a larger model.

The Silver Cross Dune 2022 foldable pushchair is a prime example of compact, foldable pushchairs that are suitable for babies from birth. It features a 360-degree seat rotation system, meaning it can be used as either parent-facing or world-facing pram based on what your child's preference is. It features a lie-flat seat that can be used by children as young as of four. And because of its small, compact wheels and fold-down one-hand, it's a breeze to maneuver around tight spaces or on slippery paths.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a different alternative. It is compatible with many popular infant car seats and it comes with a huge canopy to provide ample sun protection (although it doesn't come with an open window). The seat padding is comfortable and easy to clean. It is slightly tricky to fold, as the ring and handle must be precisely timed however once you get grasped the concept you can use it for travel.

There are also several other compact pushchairs that can be used from birth, such as the Chicco Liteway and the Babyzen YOYO. The YOYO was among the first strollers with a lightweight design to offer the compact fold. The Liteway stroller is more expensive, but it has better features. It is suitable for children as young as four years old. It can be converted into a double stroller by adding a bassinet or twin travel bundle and is available in a variety of colors, such as peppermint, ginger toffee black, red, grey, or Air France blue.
