What Is It That Makes Holiday Pushchair So Popular?

Choosing a Lightweight Holiday Pushchair

If you're planning to jet off or replacing your old buggy for a trip, selecting the ideal lightweight travel pushchair will ensure that your journey is smooth. Our testers looked for a stroller that was light and easy to fold. It was also sturdy enough for everyday use.

They also wanted something that was cabin-friendly and would fit in the limited space on trains, planes and boats.

Lightweight

If you're traveling with children it's essential to have a lightweight pushchair. It's easier to transport and take up less room in your hotel. You'll also find it easier to maneuver in the train or plane. It is recommended to have a pushchair with an ample basket that can hold plenty of clothes as well as other essentials. It should come with lockable swivel casters that can be able to handle rough and smooth terrain.

The Babyzen Yoyo2 is one of the most lightweight pushchairs suitable for holiday use that we've test. It has a slim curvaceous frame and top-quality mono-color fabric. It has a sturdy hooded hood that protects your child from sun and a cup holder for drinks. It folds easily with one hand. It is available in black pushchair, red or toffee. You can also choose grey, and is very affordable.

Another great lightweight holiday pushchair is the Joie Tourist. It is a stylish-looking stroller that is available in a stunning shade of grey. It is also very light, with a weight of just 6kg. It can be folded down to size of a suitcase. It's perfect for parents who require an easy pushchair to transport. It can also be used as a pram, with its seat reclined!

If you're planning to travel with twins think about a light double stroller such as the Mountain Buggy Nano duo. It's the lightest and smallest double pushchair that is available and is also affordable. It's easy to fold and unfold and comes with a large storage basket. It comes with a large hood, locking swivels wheels, and is able to handle rough terrain.

A lightweight pushchair must include an easy fold mechanism and be easy to carry. This makes it easier to carry your child in taxis, trains, buses and up and down stairs or escalators. The Joie Tourist is a great option, as it has an easy one-hand folding mechanism that can be tucked away in an overhead locker on flights. It comes with a large hood that shields your child from direct sunlight and a comfortable, adjustable handlebar.

Easy to maneuver

If you're planning to travel for a holiday or you're looking for a light buggy that can be used around home and when visiting family, a lightweight travel pushchair will meet your needs. There are a variety of options, including those that come with a range of accessories, like baby bassinets and a rain cover, or a toddler legrest so their legs don't dangle. A lot of them have a smaller frame and a simpler suspension than other buggies of the same size, they can be a bit flimsy, but our MFM reviewers found them to be manageable.

A compact pushchair that is easy to move will come with an ample storage basket so you can bring all your essentials with you. It should be able to stand on its own when folded so that it can be easily moved through airports and into the trunk of a car without taking up luggage space. It's a big plus for those who travel on their own to be in a position to fold and unfold the stroller using just one hand. You'll also want to find a stroller that can go up and down stairs and on and off escalators.

Our MFM reviews found the Graco Eezefold pushchair to be extremely easy to move and even with a full load, it feels sturdy enough to stand up to cobbles and bumpy roads. It's also incredibly easy to use on public transport and can be easily tucked away into the racks at the ends of trains (it can be stored with the seat still attached). Suitable for babies from birth and comes in a selection of colors and a variety of accessories such as a bassinet for newborns as well as a raincover and a footmuff. Also available as a twin travel package.

Easy to fold

The Britax Holiday is extremely compact and light - it's great for travelling as a compact pushchair because it folds down to a small size that can be tucked away in overhead storage, or even the car boot. It's also a cabin-friendly, making it easy to travel by air. It can be carried on your shoulder with the integrated strap. It's a bit tricky to use initially, but once you've got the hang of it, it's a fantastic little stroller for trips out and about in the city.

Our testers tried it out during their daily excursions from quick trips to the shops, to park strolls and longer trips visiting friends and family abroad. It was easy to fold and carry and was very maneuverable in any situation. It has a roomy shopping basket, a large hood that protects against rain, and a handy cup holder that's a great option for a travel-sized mug. This pushchair newborn is ideal for toddlers and babies 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 is also a smooth pushchair stroller that reclines and is easy to use for young children. However, it does lack the extra support that a bassinet or carrycot provides for infants and is not suitable for use as a buggy for travel.

Our rigorous testing process brings together the knowledge of our panel with our consumer research in order to create a robust buyer's guide. We've narrowed our list of strollers pushchairs by not including those that weigh more than 7kg and can't fold up into a compact size. We have also picked products that are available at different prices, to meet a variety of budgets. This allows you to discover the ideal travel pushchair that meets your requirements.

Easy to store

You'll be in and out of trains and taxis and hopping up and down escalators and steps with your child. It's therefore important to choose a lightweight pushchair that you can easily transport and store. Find one that folds down to the size of a small space and is able to stand when opened or collapses into a compact flat fold so it takes up less room in your accommodation. A freestanding storage basket is also handy if you need to stow the pushchair away when not in use.

The Graco EeZeFold can be a ideal choice for a stroller that is suitable from birth. It has an easy fold up pushchair, a hood that can protect your child from the sun and a rain-cover. It's also compatible with car seats so you can use it as part of a travel system from newborn to toddler. And there are many accessories like a bassinet, wheeled board or leg rests for tired toddlers.

During our tests it was a breeze to maneuver and navigate cobbles and bumpy roads easily. It didn't feel flimsy at all which is quite impressive for a buggy that is this light and compact. The only drawback is that the seat doesn't recline. However, as it's designed to move, this isn’t a big issue. The handle bar was fixed at a high level, and was not much adjustable. However it was comfortable for tall and short adults during our tests.
