Buying a Travel Pushchair

When buying a travel pushchair look at things such as the fold and recline, storage space, and canopy. Also, look for extras such as a footmuff, cup holder, and rain cover.

If you're frequently traveling make sure you choose a model which is cabin-approved and folds compactly. Our tester for parents says the Joie Tourist does this perfectly. Its one-handed mechanism makes it easy to fold while you are juggling the toddler.

Lightweight

A travel pushchair is a compact, lightweight stroller that folds easily and compactly to be put in luggage for a flight or put in the boot of a car. They are designed to be used with a baby at birth and are often equipped with the option to attach a car seat to them but adaptors are required. Some are also suitable for toddlers, making them a good option for family holidays and day trips.

There are a myriad of types of travel pushchairs available on the market, so it's essential to decide which one is suitable for your family. For instance, if you have a toddler, you might prefer a buggy with a leg rest to ensure that the child's feet won't hang. It is also important to think about the amount of storage space you will need, as this can be a big factor when choosing a pushchair.

If you're frequently traveling and want a compact buggy that fits within the allowance for cabin baggage Look for one that folds to around 48cm x43cm and 21.5 cm - which is less than the typical size of hand luggage. A model that has an intelligent, dynamic fold is even easier to pack away, as it will be able to snap into itself as an ordinary book.

A car seat bundle is a different alternative. This can save you money and time by making it easier to concentrate on the components that are compatible. Brand bundles usually include a pushchair sale along with a car seat that are specifically designed to fit in terms of style and comfort. Some brands provide additional features such as a cup holder or parent organizers, which can be helpful when traveling.

Certain brands also offer various accessories, including baby bassinets and a rain cover, which allows you to convert your travel pushchair into a double buggy, or twin travel pushchair. These are particularly helpful for families with older children and would like them to have an area to sit comfortably while traveling.

Easy to fold

A travel pushchair must be simple to fold and maneuver - especially if you'll need to fold it into tight spaces, like the cabin of a train or plane. The Joie Pact Pro, which is a one-handed fold mechanism that our parent test discovered to be extremely simple to use, is a fantastic example. This makes it ideal for parents who want to take their baby on day trips, Triple Stroller local excursions and even on air travel.

Another good prams option is a travel bundle that combines the pushchair and the infant car seat from the same brand. You can be sure the car seat will fit into your pushchair, and work with the chassis you've selected for your child. The bundles can be less expensive than purchasing each piece separately. However, it's important to make sure that the components work together before you buy.

If you're planning to take your pushchair to travel on rough terrain, look for something that has a solid base with large and wide wheels that can withstand bumps and lumps. Smaller wheels are difficult to control on anything except smooth pavements. Reversible seats are beneficial, as your baby can face you initially and then pivot to look around as they grow older.

You'll need to decide if your pushchair can provide the protection you require based on the time of year you're planning to travel. A sunshade to help protect your baby's skin from harmful UV rays, and a rain cover to stop snow or water from getting in the pushchair are crucial features. Be sure to buy the right rain cover specifically for your model of pushchair, not a generic one.

The final requirement is that the pushchair should be lightweight and compact. This is especially true for travel pushchairs which must be able to fold down to a smaller size. The Bugaboo Butterfly is one of the most compact pushchairs on the market. It can also be stored in the overhead luggage compartments (but not all) of certain airlines. Our parent tester found it really comfortable to ride in with her toddler, with a large and high-quality seat that reclines to provide a comfortable nap.

Easy to maneuver

It is essential to be able to fold and move the pushchair quickly and easily in busy train or bus stations with a child sleeping. This will allow you to get in and out of the vehicle without disturbing your child. Look for models that have smooth swivel wheels at the front, which makes it easier to move and turn your buggy.

Travel pushchairs usually have smaller wheels to make them smaller and lighter. However should you be looking for a product to take on rougher terrain or to cross the beach, then opt for a model with larger, more robust wheels.

Some brands and retailers offer travel system bundles which include the pushchair, car seat and any other accessories you might need. This is a great option for those who know what you want but don't want to spend hours searching for parts that are compatible. Be sure to ensure that the components you purchase are compatible prior to purchasing a travel bundle. You can find this information on the websites of a few brands or consult a retailer.

Easy to store

A travel pushchair that folds down small and Compact Pushchair is essential if you're looking to find something to pop in the back of your car or fit into an overhead bin on a plane. It's also helpful if your pushchair comes with a shoulder harness to allow you to hold it with one hand - especially if your child falls asleep!

Consider how often you will use the pushchair and the terrain you will be covering when choosing one. Some travel buggies, for instance are best suited for city walks on smooth pavements. They're not suited for use on the beach or off-road. If you're planning on going off-road and need a more sturdy buggy, check that it has a suspension system and larger wheels that can handle rougher surfaces.

Another thing to take into consideration is whether you'll be using it from birth - if so, you should look for a buggy that has baby's pack or bassinet. The Babyzen Yoyo2 has a brilliant one-hand folding and many add-ons, including a newborn's bassinet as well as a rain cover and an extremely comfortable foot muff.

If you're certain you'll only use it for holidays and short shopping trips, go for a travel pushchair that comes with an adaptor for carseats that is attached to the chassis, so you can keep your baby in their snug car seat for most of the journey. A lot of travel system bundles come with a car seat already fitted however, you can assemble your own customised bundle if you prefer.

When you're choosing a travel system, bear in your mind that it's likely to cost more than if you buy the separate items separately, so consider how much use you'll get from each piece. It is also important to consider the cost of a base for your car seat, as well as any adaptors you may require to connect it to a pushchair. They can be purchased online or in pram stores near me Some brands offer bundles which include all of them, making it easy to design your perfect travel system!
