The most compact pushchairs fold up easily and are easy to carry. They are usually easy to fold with one hand and take up less space when folded than larger buggies.

It comes with all the innovative design and thoughtful features that you would expect from the storied brand however, it comes in a more compact package. It also comes with an easy to fold, and, similar to the Contours Itsy, it comes in a box that is fully assembled. It's a great option for parents who will be traveling frequently with their child.

Another option is another option is the Cybex Mios, which straddles both types of pushchairs to provide a fully-functioning travel system with nimbleness and a small fold. It can be used from birth in parent-facing mode, but then switched to a world-facing mode as your child grows older. It also has a comfortable recline that's nap-friendly. It's not as compact as the Libelle however it's a bit smaller and is more suitable for use on flat surfaces. It is not suitable for rough terrain. The price is affordable and the durability tests are top-notch.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro makes the perfect travel buggy. It folds down so small it can fit into an overhead luggage compartment and weighs so little that you'll barely be able to tell it's there in your trunk. It's also a great stroller for everyday use. Our test subject Hollie discovered that it was easy to steer even when carrying a baby of just one year old. She liked the adjustable handle with lockable wheels, as well as the reclined seat. However, she said that it was not very comfortable. However, she also likes the ability to add extras, including the washable, reversible seat liner, rain cover and an muff for the foot.

The Babyzen YOYO is another impressively compact foldable egg pushchair sale. It isn't as streamlined as the Cybex Libelle, but it's nonetheless a great package when folded and it can easily be inserted into and out of trunks and boots. It also has more options for newborns than other buggies, including the option to add the bassinet or cot for newborns as well as a custom ride-on board designed for older children and a tandem double seat adapter.

It isn't the most compact buggy for driving on rough or uneven terrain, and its small wheels aren't as efficient as the other models we've tried. But, it's an extremely maneuverable pushchair and the YOYO does an excellent job of navigating narrow aisles and muddy trails. It's a great option for a holiday pushchair or city break.

The Cosatto Bee6 is a compact travel buggy that comes with a host of features for a price that is surprisingly low. It folds down to the size of a backpack and weighs just 6kg, so it's an easy travel buggy to cart on planes and trains. It is also very easy to steer and our MFM test driver Matt found it an absolute joy to steer even with a large toddler was aboard. He also loved the hood that slides down low enough to shield from sun and showers and facilitate napping. The only downside is that it lacks under-seat storage and you'll need to carry or gently drape a bag on the handlebar (against our advice!). You can also buy a separate changing bag holder for this buggy to make it a great holiday buggy.

Easy to manoeuvre

The wheels on small pushchairs might look small, but they often do surprisingly well, and can navigate narrow aisles for shopping or rough terrain effortlessly. The Micralite is a great example. Despite having small wheels, it is able to handle bumpy roads easily and turn swiftly on narrow roads, and tackle some light gravel without much difficulty. It has an easy-to-use steering system that is easy to operate with only one hand. It folds down into an attractive and compact box that fits snugly in its accompanying carrying case.

If you're looking for a truly compact fold one, the YOYO is the pinnacle of the compact category and was the first strollers of this type. It's still a popular option, with a lot of parents preferring it over its rivals because of its unique features and superior performance. It's a great option for frequent travelers, particularly when they want to stay clear of the stress of waiting in lines at baggage pickup by bringing their stroller along.

The YOYO is also available in an extremely compact size, fitting into its carry bag with ease, and even some space to spare. This makes it an ideal option for frequent travelers and those who need to carry a lot of stuff in their luggage. It's also extremely versatile. You can purchase a variety of optional accessories, such as a newborn bassinet for your baby, a custom riding boards and twin travel bundles to turn it into a tandem. Additionally, you can purchase a hood and rain cover for extra peace of mind.

Confortable

Hollie, our reviewer, recommends the Silver Cross model to parents seeking a light and compact black pushchair. It's simple to use and fits in the trunk of your car. Its maneuverability and reclining seat are among the best in our tests. It also boasts a useful parent's tray and storage basket that can accommodate small pushchair (https://www.cowgirlboss.com/groups/the-10-worst-pushchair-egg-Errors-of-all-time-could-have-been-prevented/) backpacks, and it has great sun cover options (including a one-piece hood) and straps that are cushioned to help your child to feel comfortable.

Some compact-fold pushchairs fold to a size that makes them cabin approved for air travel and are ideal for when you're travelling often or have a limited car space in the boot. They're typically lightweight so they're easy to carry and can be used in conjunction with a travel system, if you select a model that features a lie-flat seating or comes with an optional newborn pod or one of two luxurious folding carrycots.

A key thing to note when searching for a travel buggy is that not all models are in the same way. Some brands claim their compact fold pushchairs can fold in one hand, but others might require more involvement or even a couple of hands to work out how to get it folded. Check if the buggy's seat reclines. Some are flat, whereas others have some slight recline. This might be fine for toddlers, but not for younger children.

Make sure the model you choose is suitable for your travel plans. For instance If your destination is hot, you should look for one with mesh fabric that's vented to keep your child cool. Likewise, if you're heading somewhere that is windy or rainy ensure that the stroller you buy comes with an appropriate cover designed to go with it - generic covers won't fit properly and can let water in.
