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

A small pushchair is a buggy with wheels that allows your child to travel sitting down. They're typically used to hop into and out of public transport or put in the rear of your vehicle for day trips.

Most small pushchairs can be used starting at 6 months. However there are a growing number of them are suitable for use from birth if they have the option of a lie-flat seat or an optional carrycot. They also have a sturdy canopy and an adjustable handle bar to accommodate tall and short caregivers.

Size

The majority of parents choose larger pushchairs. However, if you have a growing child who doesn't want to travel in a buggy each time and there is limited space in your car or home boot and you're looking for something compact, an ultra-compact model could be the best option. They're usually less expensive than a larger travel system and can last your child until they no longer need one and you'll save in the long run, too.

Some of the tiniest pushchairs have clever Z folds or concertinas for a neat, square folded package and are super lightweight for such big wheels. They also come with surprisingly spacious seats considering their overall dimensions and are cabin-approved by many airlines to make it easier to travel. A majority of them have a flat seat (although some are classified as such even though they only have one small recline) and the option of a carrycot to newborns.

Folding

Some ultra-compact strollers fold down so small they are the size of handbags. This is a desirable feature, especially for parents with limited space in their car or live in cities and utilize public transportation often. A few of the most respected pushchair brands are making their own mark on this kind of model, with small models that can effortlessly take in and out of cafes, taxis, trains and planes. The Babyzen YOYO was the first to pioneer this type of super-smart buggy however, there are numerous other options available from UPPAbaby, Joolz and Cybex. These are usually concertina or folded in a z-fold to create a neat, squared folded package. They are quite light at 6-8 kg, and are usually cabin approved.

But it's important to remember that a tiny, folding collapsible Pushchair does not necessarily mean an unadorned buggy although it may be significantly cheaper than a full-size model. A lot of smaller models offer an acceptable degree of comfort, including a roomy seat that's comfortable and reclining enough for toddlers, and usually many extras such as a sun canopy as well as a footmuff and rain cover.

The Micralite from UPPAbaby is available in black and aqua, along with peppermint and toffee. It also has a super-slick, one-hand fold mechanism. It's also light at less than 6kg, and comes with a fantastic basket, large wheels (albeit with smaller ones) and a decent recline. It's only slight downside is the absence of 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 smart 360-degree seat rotation system and an excellent protective hood, as well as an adjustable seat that can transform into a parent-facing seat at birth. You can also add a newborn carrycot pack for the best in compact from-birth functionality however, the price is a bit steep at PS149.

Other options include the lighter UPPAbaby G-Luxe that has a smart one-hand recline but doesn't offer a fully flat position and doesn't have an adapter for car seats. The Babyzen YoYO Lite is a good option for parents looking for the smallest, most user-friendly buggy. It comes with a simple, but less-smart fold.

Weight

The newest ultra-compact pushchairs, with their clever concertina or Z folds to make a compact package, are impressively light at around the 6-8kg mark (and usually come with a strap for the shoulder to make them more comfortable to carry). They're also cabin approved for flying, which means you can carry them in planes without difficulty ideal if you plan to travel frequently.

Even if you don't intend to fly frequently, a compact buggy can be a great choice if you have a small 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 a great alternative to a larger budget second pushchair.

However, they are not designed to handle uneven terrain or grass that is muddy. However, they're a great alternative to a budget stroller that can be used all-terrain or an e-bike that will need air-filled tyres for the additional strength and traction. They'll also be less expensive than a larger model! You can also find an inexpensive Micralite second-hand at an affordable price. They're often in immaculate condition, but be sure to look for stains and missing features like a sun hood and cup holders prior to making a purchase.

Safety

It's likely that the pushchair parent facing will be one of the most used items for your infant So you must pay attention to the details that make it safe and comfortable for your child. Look for an ergonomic seat cushion that is comfortable and soft for your child. Also, ensure that the handlebar can be adjusted to your height. You might be thinking about whether you prefer a single handle or a linked handle, as this will impact how easy it is to push.

Wheels on your pushchair will also make a huge difference. Smaller wheels are usually designed for pavements and smooth paths while larger ones will better handle bumpy terrain, forest tracks or the beach. There are pushchairs that advertise as "all-terrain". But this is not true, as they will not perform as well as a buggie designed specifically for air-filled tires.

To ensure safety, the majority of small pushchairs will have a front and rear braking system to ensure you can determine the direction you're traveling. A majority of them will have a foot brake pedal that is easily accessible and an emergency handbrake in the event when you're not in motion. Some of the top models have a brake button which allows you to lock both wheels. This is especially helpful for pushchairs with joggers or those who stop and begin.

If you're purchasing a birth pushchair, choose one with a lie-flat seat option or one that has a carrycot. This will allow newborns to lay flat, which is crucial to their development of their spine. A carrycot lets you travel with your child from the start this is beneficial for those who plan to use public transportation or flying often.

If the fabric of the stroller can be machine washed, cleaning will be much easier. If it's not, it's possible to spot clean the fabric using a mixture of mild detergent and water. Some brands also offer replacement covers that are available in a variety of colors. You can also purchase an infant foot warmer to keep your baby warm in colder weather.
