There are a variety of compact travel pushchairs available, but you should read reviews before buying to determine which one is ideal for your family.

A compact pushchair is a great option for urban families who reside in smaller apartments or who use public transport. The majority of these models are light enough to be able to be carried over the shoulder, or placed flat in the back of your car boot or in a hallway. And thanks to their super-compact, one-hand folding mechanisms they're simple to carry out and fold when you're ready to go out and explore.

Of course it is true that not all compact fold pushchairs are with the same features. Some have more features and functions than others, so do ensure you review reviews thoroughly before you make an investment. For example the Contours Itsy is one of our top picks since it comes nearly fully assembled right out of the box and folds to a compact size with two presses of a button. The model is also stripped down. It doesn't have additional features like an holder for cups or a large basket that would make it more heavy and less useful.

The Ergobaby Go, on the other hand, is a compact stroller that was designed with more thought. It has a large basket and plenty padding to ensure your baby stroller's comfort. It also has a wrist strap normally only found on jogging strollers which makes it feel more secure while being driven. And despite its more utilitarian style, it comes with a comfortable-sized seat that reclines to lie flat and a sunshade to protect your baby.

The Babyzen YOYO, though not as compact as other options – and you may need to apply a bit more elbow grease to unfold it - is a fantastic model of a pushchair that folds in one hand. This model is also incredibly light and has been deemed suitable for use as cabin baggage on flights making it a great choice for those who travel frequently with your child.

They're great for older babies.

A compact pushchair could be useful for parents who have children who are not in the infant stage. Many parents discover that when their toddler is spending a lot of time walking, they are usually happier to use a nimble lightweight pushchair for travel and local excursions, rather than a large heavy full-size stroller that comes with all the accessories. The smaller, lighter strollers are also easier to maneuver on stairs and fit into car boot spaces.

There are now many small, light pushchairs that are suitable for babies right from birth, whether by providing a lie-flat seat or with the option to add an infant car seat. The UPPAbaby Mini for instance, can be used with the UPPAbaby Carrycot, which is positioned over the seat fabric, allowing baby to be able to sleep in a comfortable position from the pushchair during daytime naps or overnight naps. The Aer one, which is a little more expensive than the Minu is the same solution by affixing an canopy to the front of the seat and offering a large and comfortable lay-flat for babies.

Some of the smaller pushchairs are also available with a variety of add-ons to make them even more useful, such as shopping bags, footmuffs and parasols. These accessories can keep both parents and baby stroller safe from the sun during colder weather. While these extras could increase the cost of a lightweight, small pushchair, they're cheaper than an entire, brand-name travel system, and therefore can be worth the investment for many families.

For those who are looking for a stroller that folds down as small as it can be The Summer Infant 3D Lite is a great choice. It can be folded down to the size and weight of a small bag. While it does not have a parent's pocket (you might be able to put a few dollars in there, but not much else) It does come with an extendable footrest and an enormous canopy that blocks out the sun.

They're a great choice for toddlers

While many parents won't consider the compact pushchair as their infant's first stroller, it could still be a viable option when they're older. They're particularly helpful for those who reside in the city and rely on public transportation and can easily fit through narrow spaces and tight doors. Even if you do not live in an urban area, a compact stroller can be an excellent option when your child 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 compact folding pushchairs suitable for babies from birth. It has a 360-degree seat rotation system, meaning it can be used in a world-facing or parent-facing pram based on what your child's preference is. It comes with a lie-flat seat and can hold children as young as of four. It's easy to maneuver, especially in tight spaces or on muddy roads, thanks to its compact wheels, slim design, and one-hand folding.

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a different alternative. It can be used with a variety of popular infant car seats, and it has a large canopy that provides ample sun protection (although it doesn't have the option of a peekaboo). The cushioning on the seat is comfortable and easy to clean. It's a little difficult to fold, as the ring and handle has to be timed perfectly, but once you have the hang of it the ring is easy to fold on the go.

There are other compact pushchairs which can be used right from birth. They include the Chicco Liteway, and the Babyzen YOYO. The YOYO was one of the first strollers that were light to offer the compact fold. The Liteway is more expensive than the YOYO but it comes with better features and is suitable for kids up to the age of 4. It can be converted into a double stroller by adding an infant bassinet or a twin travel bundle and comes in a variety of colors including ginger, peppermint, toffee, grey, black, red or Air France blue.
