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 into and out of public transportation or to keep in the back of your car for day trips.

Many small pushchairs can be used from 6 months, but an increasing number are suitable for use from birth with a lie-flat chair or an optional carrycot. Most also offer a good canopy and a handle bar that adjusts to accommodate tall or short caregivers.

Size

The majority of parents choose larger pushchairs, but if have a growing child who doesn't enjoy traveling in a buggy all the time and there is only a small space in your car or at home boot, then an ultra-compact may be the best option. They're often cheaper than a larger travel system and can keep your child safe until they are no longer in need of one and you'll save in the long term too.

A few of the smaller pushchairs feature clever Z folds or concertinas to create an elegant, square folded package and are super light for wheels that are this big. These pushchairs are also large for their size and can be taken on board most airlines. Many of them have a flat seating (although some are classified as flat even though they have one small reclining) and the option of the carrycot for infants.

Folding

Some ultra-compact pushchairs fold up so small that they're about the size of a handbag. This can be a big selling point, particularly for parents who don't have a lot of space in their car's boot or live in a city and frequent public transport. A few of the most well-known brands of pushchairs are offering compact models you can easily carry in and out of cafes and taxis. They also offer models that can be taken on planes, trains and even into public transport. The Babyzen YOYO was among the first to pioneer this kind of super-smart buggy however, there are numerous other options available from UPPAbaby, Joolz and Cybex. These typically have clever concertina or Z folds to create a neat, square-shaped package. They weigh in at 6-8 kilos and are often cabin pushchair approved for easier holiday travel.

It's important to remember that a small-sized folding pushchair isn't necessarily a stripped-back model, even if it's considerably cheaper than the full-size version. A lot of smaller models offer a decent level of comfort, with an ample seat that is comfortable and has enough recline for toddlers, and often many extras such as a sun canopy, footmuff and rain cover.

The Micralite by UPPAbaby, for example, offers a very smooth one-hand fold, and comes in peppermint, ginger black, or toffee. It's also extremely light at just under 6kg, has a great basket and good-sized wheels with small ones. It also offers a decent recline. The only issue is that there is no lock, which may frustrate some parents. Also, the hood isn't as big as other UPPAbaby products.

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

Other options include the lightweight UPPAbaby G-Luxe that comes with a clever one-hand recline feature, but does not have a flat seat and lacks a car seat adapter. The Babyzen YoYO Lite, which has a simpler but less-smart fold, is a great option for parents wanting an easy-to-use, super-compact buggy that can be used for everyday city use.

Weight

The newest ultra-compact pushchairs, with their clever Z folds or concertinas that create a tiny space, are impressively lightweight, weighing around the 6-8kg mark (and typically come with a strap for the shoulder to make them more comfortable to carry). The pushchairs are also approved for use in cabins which means you can use them on planes if you plan to travel often.

Even if you don't plan to fly often, a compact buggy can be a good option for those with a small car boot or struggle with stairs, or if you regularly rely on buses, trains and the Underground. These strollers are made to last from the moment you get them until your child is in school and are an excellent alternative to a larger, more expensive pushchair.

However, they're not designed to deal with uneven terrain or muddy lawns. However, they're a great alternative to a budget stroller for all-terrain use or an e-bike that will need air-filled tyres for the additional traction and durability. And they'll be a lot cheaper than a larger model too! Second-hand Micralites can be found for sale at a reasonable price. They're typically in perfect condition, but make sure to look for stains and missing features like a sun hood and cup holders before you purchase.

Safety

It's likely that the pushchair will be among the most frequently used items for your baby So you must be attentive to the features that ensure it is safe and comfortable for your child. Find a seat with soft padding that will be comfy for your child, as well as an adjustable handlebar to fit your height. It is also advisable to think about whether a single or linked handle is the best for you since it will affect the ease of pushing new born push chair.

The wheels on your pushchair will also make a huge difference. The wheels on your pushchair could also have an impact. Smaller wheels are better for smooth pavements and smooth surfaces, while larger wheels will take on bumpy terrains such as forest tracks or beaches. You might also see pushchairs that advertise as 'all terrain' but this could be an overstatement since they don't perform with the same terrain as a specialized buggy fitted with air-filled tyres.

The majority of small pushchairs come with the front- and rear-braking system for safety. This allows you to regulate the direction you travel. Many have a foot-operated brake that is easy to reach and a handbrake for when you're not moving. Certain models come with a brake button which locks 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 option or one that includes the carrycot. This allows newborns to lie flat, which is vital for their spinal development. A carrycot allows you to travel with your child from the start and is ideal if you plan on using public transportation or flying regularly.

Make sure the fabric for your pushchair up to 25kg is machine washable as this will make cleaning it much more simple. If not, you can spot clean the fabric with an aqueous solution 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.
