Buying a Travel Pushchair

When purchasing a pushchair for travel look at things such as the fold, recline, storage space and canopy. You should also consider additional features like a footmuff, coffee cup holder and rain cover.

A travel pushchair folds quickly and compactly to fit into luggage or the boot of a car. They are made to be used with a baby from birth and usually come with the option to attach an infant car seat however adapters will be required. Some are also suitable for toddlers, making them a good option for family holidays and day trips.

There are a variety of travel pushchairs on the market, and it's crucial to determine which one is best for your family. For instance, if have a toddler, you might prefer a pushchair that has a removable leg rest to ensure that the child's feet don't dangle. When selecting a stroller, it is crucial to think about the amount of storage space you'll require.

If you're frequently traveling and require a compact buggy that fits within the cabin baggage allowance, look for models that fold down to around 48cm x43cm in size 21.5 cm - which is less than the typical size of hand luggage. A model that features a clever dynamic fold is much easier to pack away, since it will be able to snap into itself as the pages of a book.

Another good alternative is to purchase a travel pushchair and car seat bundle, which will help you save time searching for compatible components and money. A brand-name bundle typically includes a pushchair and a car seat that has been specially designed to be compatible in terms of style and comfort. Some brands offer extras such as cups holder or parent organizers, which can be useful for traveling.

Travel pushchairs must be easy to fold, especially in smaller spaces such as the cabin of a train or airplane. The Joie Pact Pro is a good example, with a one-handed mechanism that our parent tester found to be extremely simple to use. This makes it ideal for parents who want to take their child with them on air travel as well as local excursions and day excursions.

A travel system bundle is another option. It is a combination of the car seat and pushchair from the same manufacturer. This means you can be certain that the car seat is compatible with the pushchair you have chosen and will fit on the chassis you've selected for your baby. These types of bundles are usually cheaper than purchasing the components separately, however it is important to ensure that the items you're planning to purchase work together prior to making a purchase.

If you plan to use your travel pushchair on rough terrain, choose something that has a solid base with large and wide wheels that can handle bumps and snags. Smaller wheels can be difficult to maneuver on any other surface than smooth pavements. Reversible seats are also useful, as your baby can face you to start with, and then turn around to look around as they get older.

You'll need to decide if your pushchair can provide the protection you need according to the time of the year you're planning to travel. A sunshade will protect your baby from harmful UV rays. Likewise, a raincover will prevent water or snow from entering the pushchair. You should purchase a raincover specifically designed for your particular model of pushchair, not an ordinary one.

A lightweight and compact design are essential requirements for any pushchair - however, this is especially true of travel pushchairs, that need to fold down easily to a tiny size. The Bugaboo Butterfly is one of the most compact pushchairs on the market. It can also be tucked away in the overhead luggage compartments (but not all) of some airlines. Our testers with parents found it extremely comfortable to ride in with her toddler, with a large and well-constructed seat that reclines for comfy naps.

This allows you to get in and out of the vehicle without disturbing your baby. Look for models with smooth front wheels that swivel to allow you to pivot and move your pushchair effortlessly.

Typically, travel pushchairs have smaller wheels than other kinds of strollers to keep their weight and size down however, if you're looking for something to take on rough terrain or a trip across the beach, choose one that has bigger and more durable wheels to take on this type of terrain.

Some retailers and brands offer travel systems that include car seats, pushchairs and other items you might require. This is a great option for those who know what you want but do not want to spend a lot of time searching for parts that are compatible. But, make sure the elements you're buying are compatible prior to purchasing a travel bundle. Certain brands provide this information online, or you can ask a retailer for help.

A travel pushchair that folds down small and compact is crucial if you're looking for something to put into the boot or fit in an overhead bin on a plane. It's also beneficial to have an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can carry it in one hand - this is especially useful if your child is asleep!

When you're choosing a travel-friendly folding pushchair, take into account how often you'll use it and the type of terrain you'll have to cover. For instance, some buggies are only suitable for walking around town on smooth surfaces, and don't perform well off the road or on the beach. If you're planning on going off-road and require an extra sturdy buggy, check that it comes with suspension as well as a larger set of wheels that can handle rougher terrain.

If you are planning to use it from birth, then consider a stroller compact for travel with a newborn bag. The Babyzen Yoyo2 is a great example, featuring a clever one-hand fold and lots of add-ons including a newborn bassinet with a rain cover as well as an extremely comfortable foot muff.

If you're certain you'll only use it for holidays and short shopping trips, opt for a travel pushchair that comes with a car seat adaptor that can be attached to the chassis, so you can keep your little one in their comfortable car seat for the duration of the journey. A lot of travel system bundles come with the car seat, however you can create your own bundle if you'd like.
