A Small Pushchair Is a Buggy on Wheels That Allows Your Child to Travel in a Sitting Position

A small pushchair is a buggy on wheels that allows your child to sit in a comfortable position. They're often used to hop in and out of public transport or to keep in the back of your car for day trips.

The majority of small pushchairs are suitable for use from 6 months. However there are a growing number of them are suitable for use from birth, if they come with the option of a lie-flat seat or an optional carrycot. The majority of them have a sturdy canopy and a handlebar that can be adjusted to fit tall or short caregivers.

Size

The majority of parents choose larger pushchairs, but if have a growing child who doesn't like to travel in a buggy each time and has limited space in your car or home boot, then an ultra-compact may be the best option. They're often cheaper than a full-size travel system and will last until your child no longer need one and you'll save in the long run too.

Some of the tiniest pushchairs have clever concertina or Z folds for a neat, square folded package. They are also extremely light for wheels that are this big. They also have surprisingly large seats for their size and are cabin approved on the majority of airlines to allow for a more comfortable holiday. Some also come with a lie-flat seat (although some are categorised as such if they only have a small recline) and the option of adding a carrycot for newborns.

folding pushchair

Some ultra-compact pushchairs fold down so small that they're about the size of the size of a handbag. This can be a big selling point, especially for parents who don't have much space in their car boot or reside in a city and use public transport often. A handful of the most well-known pushchair buggy brands are now creating their own versions of this kind of model, with compact models that you can easily pop into and out of taxis, cafes trains, planes and trains. The Babyzen YOYO was among the first to pioneer this type of super-smart buggy, but there are now numerous other options available from UPPAbaby, Joolz and Cybex. They are typically concertina or z-folded to create a neat, square folded package. They are extremely light at 6-8 kg, and are usually are cabin-approved.

It's important to keep in mind that a compact fold-up pushchair isn't always an unadorned model, even if it's a lot smaller than the larger version. Many compact models offer the best level of comfort. They have a comfy seat that can be reclined for toddlers. They also come with additional features like a footmuff sun canopy, and rain cover.

The Micralite from UPPAbaby is available in black and aqua, along with peppermint and toffee. It also comes with an extremely smooth, one-hand folding mechanism. It's also light at less than 6kg and comes with a large basket, large wheels (albeit with small ones) and a decent recline. It's only slight downside is that it doesn't have a lock, which might annoy some parents, and the hood doesn't appear to be larger than other UPPAbaby products.

Mamas & Papas Airo is another compact model with a clever 360-degree rotation system, as well as a great protective hood, plus a lie-flat seat that you can transform into a parent-facing seat at birth. You can also add an infant carrycot for the best in compact from-birth functionality however the price is a bit steep at PS149.

The UPPAbaby's lightweight G-Luxe is another alternative. It has a one-hand recline that is smart, but it does not offer the flat position. Also, it lacks an adapter for cars. The Babyzen YoYO Lite is a good option for parents who want the smallest, most user-friendly buggy. It comes with a simple, but less-smart, fold.

Weight

The newest ultra-compact pushchair pushchairs, with their clever Z folds or concertinas to create a tiny space, are impressively lightweight, weighing around the 6-8kg mark (and often have a shoulder strap to make them more comfortable to carry). They're also certified for cabin flying, so you can take them into planes easily which is ideal if you're planning to travel often.

Even if you don't plan to fly often, a small buggy can be a good option in the event that you only have a tiny car boot or have difficulty climbing stairs or rely on buses, trains and the Underground. They're also designed to last from birth to school age so are an excellent alternative to a bigger budget second pushchair.

But they're not designed to deal with uneven terrain or grass that is muddy. However, they're a great alternative to an all-terrain stroller or an e-bike that will need air-filled tyres for the additional strength and traction. They'll also be cheaper than a full-sized model! You can also pick up an inexpensive Micralite second-hand for an affordable price. These are often in excellent condition, but make sure to look for stains or missing components such as the cup holder or sun hood before you buy.

Safety

A small pushchair will likely be among your most used baby toys and it's worth looking at the finer details that will make it comfortable and safe for your child. Choose a seat with soft padding that will be comfy for your child and an adjustable handlebar to suit your height. You may also want to think about whether a single or linked handle is the best for you, as it will affect how easy it is to new born push chair.

The wheels on your pushchair could also make a difference. Smaller wheels are usually made for smooth pavements and roads, while larger ones better handle rough terrain, forest tracks or the beach. There are pushchairs that advertise as "all-terrain". However, this is not true because they do not be as effective as a buggie designed specifically for air-filled tires.

The majority of small pushchairs and buggies come with the front- and rear-braking system for security. This allows you to determine the direction you travel in. A lot of them have a foot-operated brake that is easy to reach and a handbrake when not moving. Some of the most expensive models have a brake lever which allows you to lock both wheels, which is particularly useful for pushchairs that are jogger-style or those who frequently stop and start.

When buying a pushchair for newborns, look for one with a flat-seating option or one that includes a carrycot. This will allow newborns to lie flat, which is essential for their development of their spine. A carrycot also allows you to travel with your baby from the very beginning, which is ideal if you are planning on using public transport or flying often.

If the fabric of the stroller can be washed by machine it will make cleaning simpler. If it is not, you can spot clean the fabric using a mixture of mild detergent and water. Certain brands also offer covers for replacement that come in a variety of colours. You can also purchase an infant foot warmer to keep your baby warm in colder weather.
