It will also be easier to maneuver on a plane, train or bus. You'll need a stroller with a large capacity basket to fit all the clothes and other essentials. It should also come with locks that allow swivel wheels to be used on rough and smooth terrain.

One of the best lightweight holiday pushchairs buggies we've tested is Babyzen Yoyo2. It is a compact curvaceous frame that is made of high-end monochrome fabric. It comes with a thick hooded hood that protects your child from the sun, as well as a cup holder for drinks. It can also fold with just one hand. It is available in black, grey, toffee or red and is priced at a reasonable price.

The Joie Tourist is another great lightweight pushchair easy fold ideal for holiday trips. It is a stylish-looking stroller that comes in a stunning shade of grey. It is also very light, with a weight of just 6kg. It folds into a size that is comparable to that of a suitcase. It's perfect for parents who need a pushchair that's easy to transport. It can also be used as a pram with its seat reclined!

If you're planning to travel with a twin infant think about a light dual stroller like the Mountain Buggy Nano duo. It's the smallest, most lightweight and affordable double pushchair available. It's easy to fold and unfold and it comes with a large storage basket for your items. It also has a large hood and locking swivel wheels that can be used on rough terrain.

A good lightweight forward facing pushchair will also come with a compact folding mechanism, and should be easy to carry on your shoulders. This will make it easier to transport in taxis or buses, trains and trains and to travel up and down steps and escalators while carrying your baby in tow. The Joie Tourist is a great option, as it has a simple one-handed folding mechanism and can be placed into an overhead locker on flights. It also has a large hood to protect your child from the sun's rays and a comfortable adjustable handlebar.

Easy to manoeuvre

A compact travel buggy is perfect for those who are traveling or simply need something light to carry in the home and when visiting family. There are many choices, including those which come with a variety of accessories, like an infant bassinet, a rain cover, or a toddler legrest so their legs don't dangle. They may feel flimsy because they have a shorter frame and a simpler suspension than full-sized buggies. However, our MFM testers found that all of them were manageable.

A good quality lightweight holiday pushchair will be easy to manoeuvre and come with large storage space so you can take lots of necessities with you. It should be able of standing on its own when folded, so that it can be moved through airports and into the trunk of a car without taking up luggage space. It's a big plus for those who travel on their own to be capable of folding and unfolding the stroller using just one hand. You'll also want to find a stroller that's able to go up and down stairs and on and off the escalators.

The MFM reviews found that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to navigate and, even fully loaded, it was sturdy enough to handle cobblestones and uneven roads. It's also easy to use on public transportation and can be tucked away in the last racks of train cars (with its seat still attached). It's suitable for infants from birth. It's available in various colors and comes with a range of accessories, such as a newborn bassinet. It's also available in a twin travel bundle.

The Britax Holiday is lightweight and compact - it's great for travelling as a light pushchair since it folds down to a small size that can fit into overhead storage, or even the car boot. It's also cabin-friendly for air travel, and you can carry it over your shoulder using an strap with an integrated. It's a little difficult to use at first, but once you've mastered the use of it, it's a great stroller for trips out and about on the go.

It was simple to fold and carry, and is very easy to maneuver in any environment. It has a large shopping basket, a full-coverage hood to protect from rain and an integrated cup holder that can fit a travel mug. This pushchair is ideal for toddlers and babies from birth to four years old.

We love that this is so easy to open and close, regardless of whether you're on the go or if your hands are full with kids. It is also a smooth pushchair, and the recline feature is suitable for infants and children. It does not provide the extra support that a carrycot or bassinet provides for newborns and isn't suitable for use as a baby travel buggy.

We've narrowed down our list of strollers to include ones that weigh less than 7kg, can be folded down in a compact manner and are suitable for vacation use. We also have selected items that are available at various price points to accommodate a variety of budgets. This lets you find a travel pushchair that is suitable for your needs.

Easy to store

When you travel with a baby, you're often going between taxis, trains and tubes, and up and down stairs or escalators so it's important to pick an infant stroller that is light and can easily maneuver and store. Look for one that folds down to the size of a small space and stands up when open or folds into an incredibly compact flat fold, so it takes up less room in your accommodation. A freestanding storage basket is also handy if you need to stow the pushchair away when it's not being used.

The Graco EeZeFold can be a great option if you're looking for a stroller that is suitable for babies from birth. It features an easy fold, a hood that can protect your child from sun and a rain-cover. It is also compatible with car seats so you can use it from infant to toddler. There are a variety of accessories like a bassinet or a wheeled board for tired toddlers.

In our testing, it was easy to manoeuvre and tackled cobbles and bumpy roads as well as some large kerbs with ease. It was surprisingly robust for a light and small buggy. The only drawback was that the seat did not recline, but as it's designed to travel, this isn't a huge deal. The handle bar is fixed at quite high levels and isn't much adjustable, but it was comfortable for both tall and short adults during our test.
