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

A small pushchair lets your child to travel seated in a buggy. They are typically used to hop on and off public transport or to stay in your car for daytime travel.

Most small pushchairs are suitable for use from 6 months. However many of them are suitable for use from birth, if they come with a lie-flat seat and/or an optional carrycot. Most have a good canopy and a handlebar that is adjusted to fit tall or short caregivers.

Size

Many parents prefer larger pushchairs from the get-go but for an expanding toddler who doesn't wish to spend every trip in a buggy, and you're faced with space issues at home or in your car boot, a compact may be the solution. They're often cheaper than a large travel system and can last your child until they are no longer in need of one and you'll save in the long run, too.

Some of the smallest pushchairs come with clever concertina or Z folds for a neat, square folded package. They're also lightweight for such big wheels. They also come with surprisingly spacious seats for their overall dimensions and are cabin-approved on the majority of airlines to allow for a more comfortable holiday. Some also come with a lie-flat seating (although some are classified as such if they only have a small recline) and the option of adding the carrycot for infants.

Folding

Some ultra-compact pushchairs fold up so small that they're 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 live in a city and frequently use public transport. A few of the most respected pushchair brands are putting their own spin on this category, offering small folding pushchair models that can effortlessly take into and out of cafes, taxis, trains and planes. Babyzen YOYO is one of the first to introduce this super-smart stroller is now joined by UPPAbaby Joolz, and Cybex. These typically have clever concertina or Z folds to create an elegant, square folded package, are surprisingly light at about 6-8kg, and are usually designed to be cabin-approved for a more comfortable holiday travel.

It's important to keep in mind that a tiny folding pushchair isn't always an unrestricted buggy, even though it will be considerably less expensive than a larger model. Many of the smaller models still provide a decent level of comfort, with large seats that are comfortable and reclined enough for toddlers, and usually lots of additional features like an umbrella footmuff, rain cover and sun canopy.

The Micralite from UPPAbaby is available in black, aqua, peppermint or toffee. It also comes with an extremely smooth, one-hand folding mechanism. It's also light at less than 6kg and has a great basket, good-sized wheels (albeit with small ones) and a decent recline. The only issue is that it doesn't have a lock that some parents may find frustrating and the hood isn't nearly as big as other UPPAbaby models.

The Mamas & Papas Airo, another compact model, comes with 360-degree seat rotation as well as an excellent protective hood. It also features a lie-flat seat which can be turned into a parent-forward facing pushchair starting at the time of birth. It is possible to add a newborn carrycot pack for the ultimate in Compact Pushchair from-birth functionality however the price is a bit steep at PS149.

Other options include the lightweight UPPAbaby G-Luxe, which has a smart one-hand recline but does not have a flat seat and lacks an adapter for carseats. The Babyzen YoYO Lite is a ideal choice 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 Z folds or concertinas that give a tiny package They're incredibly lightweight pushchair, weighing around the 6-8kg mark (and usually come with an adjustable shoulder strap to make them easier to carry). They are also cabin approved which means you can carry them on planes if you intend to travel frequently.

Even if you don't intend to fly a lot, a compact buggy can be a great choice for those with a small car boot or struggle with stairs, or if you regularly depend on trains, buses and the Underground. These compact strollers are built to last from birth until your child is in school, so they're a great option to a larger, more expensive pushchair.

However, they are not designed to deal with uneven terrain or grass that is muddy. They're an excellent alternative to an all-terrain travel system or budget stroller that needs air-filled tires for extra grip and durability. They'll also be cheaper than a larger model too! You can also find an inexpensive Micralite second-hand at an affordable price. They're often in immaculate condition, but make sure to look for stains and missing features like sun hoods and cup holders prior to making a buy.

Safety

It's likely that your tiny pushchair will be among the most used things for your baby, so you should be attentive to the features that will make it safe and comfortable for your child. Find a seat cushion that is comfortable and soft for your child. Also, make sure the handlebar can be adjusted to your height. You might also want to think about whether a single or linked handle is the best for you as this will impact the ease of pushing push chair.

The wheels on your pushchair may also make a difference. Smaller wheels are typically designed for smooth and pavement paths while larger ones will cope better with rough terrain, forest tracks or the beach. You may see pushchairs advertised as "all-terrain". But this is a false claim, as they will not cope as well as a buggie that is specifically designed with air-filled tires.

The majority of small pushchairs have an braking front and rear system for security. This lets you control the direction you travel. Most will come with a foot brake pedal which is easily accessible, as well as a handbrake for those times when you're not in motion. Certain models have brake buttons that lock both wheels. This is especially useful for those who have the jogger style pushchair, or stop and start frequently.

If you are buying a pushchair for infants from birth, look for a model with a flat-seating feature or one that includes the carrycot. This allows newborns to lay flat, which is crucial for their spinal development. A carrycot also allows you to travel with your baby from the very beginning, which is great when you plan on using public transport or flying often.

Check if the collapsible pushchair fabric is machine washable as this will make cleaning it much more simple. If not, you can spot clean the fabric with the mixture of mild detergent and water. Additionally, certain brands offer replacement covers in a variety of colours. It's also an excellent idea to invest in a sock for colder days as it can help keep your baby dry and warm.
