Lightweight

If you're traveling with children it is essential to have a light pushchair cheap. It will be easier to transport and take up less room in your home. You'll also find it easier to maneuver in a plane or train. You'll need a pushchair with a large capacity basket to hold all the clothing and other necessities. It should also come with locking swivel wheels that are able to be used on rough and smooth terrain.

One of the most lightweight holiday cheap pushchairs we've tried is the Babyzen Yoyo2. It has a slim curved frame and high-quality mono-colored fabric. It has a thick cover that protects your child from sun and a handy cup holder to hold drinks. It can also fold with just one hand. It is available in grey, black, toffee or red and is priced at a reasonable price.

Another great lightweight holiday pushchair is the Joie Tourist. It's a stylish stroller that is available in a gorgeous shade of grey. It's also lightweight, weighing just 6kg, and folds down to the size of a suitcase. It's ideal for parents who are always moving and require a pushchair that is suitable for travel. It can be used as a stroller with the seat reclined.

If you're planning to travel with twins, consider a lightweight double stroller, such as the Mountain Buggy nano duo. It's the lightest and most compact double pushchair on the market and is also affordable. It is easy to fold and unfold, and comes with a large storage basket. It has a big canopy, locking swivels wheels and can handle more rough terrain.

A great lightweight pushchair will also come with a compact folding mechanism and should be easy to carry on your shoulders. This allows you to easily transport your baby in taxis, trains, buses, and up and down escalators or stairs. The Joie Tourist is a great option, as it has a simple one-handed folding mechanism and can be placed inside an overhead locker for flights. It has a big hood that shields your child from the sunlight and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to maneuver

If you're planning to travel for a holiday or you're looking for an easy-to-use buggy to use around home and when visiting with friends, a light travel pushchair ticks the box. There are plenty of options, including ones that come with a variety of extras, including a newborn bassinet and rain cover, or a toddler legrest so that their legs don't hang. Often with a slightly shorter frame and simpler suspension than other buggies of the same size they may be a bit flimsy, however our MFM reviewers found them to be manageable.

A good quality lightweight holiday pushchair will be easy to manoeuvre and come with large storage space to allow you to take plenty of essentials with you. It should also be able to stand on its own when folded, so it takes up less space in your home and is easily pushed through busy airports or put in the car boot without sacrificing luggage space. It's a big plus when you're traveling alone to be in a position to fold and unfold the stroller using just one hand. You'll need a stroller you can use on and off escalators as well as going up and down stairs.

The MFM reviews revealed that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to move and, even fully loaded, it was solid enough to withstand cobblestones and uneven roads. It's also super-easy to use on public transport and can be easily tucked away in the racks at the end of trains (it can be stored with its seat still attached). It's suitable for babies as young as birth. It is available in a variety of colors and comes with a range of accessories, like a newborn bassinet. It's also available in twin travel bundles.

The Britax Holiday is extremely lightweight and compact and is ideal for use as a compact pushchair because it folds down to a compact size that can be tucked away in overhead storage or even in the car boot. It's also suitable for cabin use to make air travel easy and you can carry it over your shoulder with an strap that is integrated. It's a little difficult to use at first but once you get the hang of it, it's an excellent small stroller to take on excursions on the go.

Our test subjects put it to the test on daily outings, from quick dashes to the shops, to park strolls and longer trips visiting relatives and friends abroad. It was easy to fold and carry and was very maneuverable in any setting. It has a roomy shopping basket, a spacious hood that protects against rain, and a stylish cup holder that's a great choice for a travel cup. This pushchair is ideal for babies and toddlers aged from birth to four years.

It's simple to open and close, even when you are in a hurry or have a lot of hands to do. It's also a very smooth pushchair to drive and recline feature is simple for children to use. However, it does lack the additional support that a bassinet or carrycot provides for infants and is not suitable as a travel buggy.

We have a rigorous testing process that combines the expert knowledge of our panel along with our research with consumers to produce a robust buying guide. We've narrowed our selection of strollers by not including those that weigh more than 7kg and cannot be folded compactly. We also have selected items that are available at various price points to accommodate various budgets. This will allow you to find the perfect travel pushchair to meet your needs.

Easy to store

You'll be hopping in and out of taxis and trains and hopping up and down escalators and steps with your child. It's therefore important to choose a lightweight pushchair you can easily store and move. Look for one that folds to a small size and is able to stand when opened or folds into a compact flat fold so it takes up less space in your accommodation. If you want to store your pushchair when not in use, a basket that is freestanding is a good option.

If you're seeking a travel stroller that is suitable for babies from birth, the EeZeFold stroller by Graco is a fantastic choice. It comes with the compact fold, a hood to protect your child from the sun, and a rain cover. It's also compatible with car seats so you can use it from infant to toddler. There are many accessories such as a bassinet or a wheeled board for tired toddlers.

During testing, it was easy to steer and navigate cobbles and bumpy roads easily. It was quite sturdy for a lightweight and small buggy. The only drawback is that the seat doesn't recline. However, considering it's designed to move it's not a big issue. The handle bar was fixed at a high height, and not extremely adjustable. However, it was comfortable for both tall and short adults during our tests.
