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 lets your child travel sitting down. They're typically 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 can be used beginning at 6 months. However there are a growing number of them are suitable for use from birth if they have a seat that is flat and/or an optional carrycot. Many also come with a great canopy and a handle bar that adjusts for tall or short caregivers.

Size

Many parents opt for larger pushchairs from the beginning but for a growing toddler who doesn't wish to be confined to a buggy pushchair, and you're faced with limited space at home or in your car boot, an ultra-compact might be the answer. They're usually cheaper than full-size travel systems and will last until your child is no longer in need of one.

Some of the smallest cheap pushchairs come with clever Z folds or concertinas to create a neat, square folded package. They're also light for such large wheels. These pushchairs are also surprisingly large for their dimensions and can be used onboard many airlines. Many also come with a lie-flat seating (although some are categorised as such because they have a slight recline) and the option of adding a carrycot for newborns.

Folding

Some ultra-compact strollers fold down to the size of handbags. This is a desirable feature, particularly for parents with limited space in their car or live in cities and utilize public transportation regularly. Many of the most reputable brands of pushchairs are now offering compact models you can easily carry in and out of cafes and taxis. They also have models that can be used on planes, trains and even on public transport. Babyzen YOYO is one of the first to introduce this super-smart stroller is now joined by UPPAbaby Joolz, and Cybex. These usually have clever concertina or Z folds that create a neat, square folded package. They weigh in at 6-8 kilos and are often designed to be cabin-approved for a more comfortable holiday travel.

But it's important to remember that a tiny, folding pushchair doesn't necessarily mean an unadorned buggy although it may be significantly cheaper than a full-size model. Many of the smaller models still provide a decent level of comfort, with large seats that are comfortable and reclining enough for toddlers, and often lots of additional features like a sun canopy footmuff, rain cover and sun canopy.

The Micralite by UPPAbaby is a good example. It features a super-slick one-hand fold that comes in ginger, peppermint, toffee, black or aqua. It's also light at less than 6kg, and comes with a fantastic basket, good-sized wheels (albeit with small ones) and a decent recline. It's only slight downside is that there is no lock, which could be a problem for some parents. The hood doesn't seem to be as big as other UPPAbaby products.

Mamas & Papas Airo is another compact model that features an innovative 360-degree seat rotation system, as well as a great protective hood, as well as a lie-flat seat that you can convert to parent-facing from birth. The newborn carrycot is available for PS149, however it's a bit expensive.

The lightweight UPPAbaby G-Luxe is another alternative. It has a one-hand smart recline, but doesn't have the flat position. It also does not have an adapter for cars. The Babyzen YoYO Lite is a great option for parents looking for a super-compact, easy-to use buggy. It has a basic, but not as smart, fold.

Weight

The newest ultra-compact strollers weigh a tonne, weighing only 6-8kg. They often come with a shoulder strap for easier carrying. The pushchairs are also certified for cabin use, so you can easily carry them on planes if you plan to travel often.

Even even if your plans don't include frequent flights, a compact stroller can be an excellent alternative if your car's trunk isn't big enough, you struggle with stairs, or rely on public transport, such as trains, buses and the Underground. They're also designed to last from birth until school age so are a great alternative to a larger budget second pushchair.

They're designed for smooth and smooth surfaces but don't expect them well with rough terrain or grass that is muddy. They're a great alternative for an all-terrain travel system or budget stroller that needs air-filled tires for additional traction and durability. They'll also be cheaper than a full-sized model! You can also find an inexpensive Micralite second-hand for an affordable price. They're often in immaculate condition, but be sure to look for stains and missing features such as sun hoods and cup holders prior to making a buy.

Safety

It's likely that your tiny pushchair will be one of the most used items for your infant Therefore, you must pay attention to the details that make it safe and comfortable for them. Look for an ergonomic seat cushion that is comfortable and soft for your child. Also, make sure the handlebar can be adjusted to your height. You may want to think about whether you would prefer a single or linked handle, since this will affect the ease it is to push.

The wheels on your pushchair could also make a difference. Smaller wheels are usually designed for smooth and pavement pathways, while larger ones cope better with rough terrain, trails through forests or at the beach. There are pushchairs that advertise as 'all-terrain'. But this is a misnomer because they do not perform as well as a buggie that is specifically designed with air-filled tires.

The majority of small pushchairs come with a front- and rear-braking system to ensure safety. This allows you to control the direction you travel. Most will come with an accelerator pedal for the foot that is easily accessible and a handbrake to use when you're not moving. Some of the premium models come with brake buttons that lock both wheels. This is especially beneficial for those who have the jogger style pushchair, or who stop and start often.

If you're buying a birth pushchair look for one with a lie-flat seat option or one that comes with a carrycot. This will allow newborns to sleep flat which is important for their spinal development. A carrycot also allows you to travel with your baby from the very beginning, which is ideal when you plan on using public transport or flying frequently.

If the fabric of the stroller can be washed by machine it will make cleaning easier. If you don't, it's possible to spot clean the fabric with a mixture of mild detergent and water. Some brands also offer covers for replacement that come in a variety of colors. You can also purchase a footmuff to keep your baby warm during colder weather.
