Even though the stroller comes with you on the plane, I still much prefer to keep my stroller neatly packaged in its own bag when not in use on the plane – or in case overhead bins are full, flight attendants may still ask you to stow it. Storage Bag – Not all brands we reviewed came with the travel bag and carrying straps included. The manufacturers specifically warn you not to, but I know most will try anyway, at your peril!! Lighter models are more susceptible to tipping so do be careful on attempting to hook larger bags of the handlebars. We all know your diaper bag/day pack needs to go somewhere still, bottles, blankets, nursing cover, sling – you name it! We have used our stroller organiser still on ones we’ve personally reviewed without issue, but still having good access to a decent-sized storage basket underneath is essential while travelling. Check that the folding mechanism really is as simple as they say it is!!īasket space – Compact size can mean compact everything. I think we’ve all been there, child on hip, bags dropping off our shoulders. That said, Mr Globetrotter is 6 foot and has had no issue with the Nano, and taller friends have used the Yoyo – the tallest we look at without complaint.įolding mechanism – the time tested art of one-handed metal origami. Handlebars – None we have reviewed come with adjustable handles so may not suit extra tall parents. Many of the brands we looked at had somewhat compromised on the sun cover to get smaller and lighter, but we still think the sun canopy is an essential travel feature. Suncover – Likewise, getting them to nap is easier when the sun is not glaring in their eyes. See also our guide to COMPACT DOUBLE STROLLERS if you’re also planning for future needs. Travel systems – Although we are reviewing these strollers for toddlers, we have noted for each brand when they come with a travel system so, with adaptors, the product can be used with a car seat attachment from newborn. It’s likely you still want your tot to be able to nap on the move though, so watch out as some cheaper models lack the recline function. It can add a little more bulk but a necessary additional feature.

Seated position – Due to their design, compact brands are only designed for 6 months plus when you’re child can independently sit upright.
Smaller children can easily fit most models through to 4 years+ but larger children do struggle with this type of stroller, mostly on the seat width and depth. Make sure they still have decent head clearance and bottom wiggling room. Height and width – Another concern many parents have with a compact is that your taller toddler can quickly outgrow them. They’re not designed to off-road but you shoulds till get a smooth ride.
Check that the wheels still have good manoeuvrability and suspension. You do lose some of the ride comfort and ability to glide over rough surfaces that you do get with a bigger stroller, especially with pneumatic wheels. Wheels – You will notice the big difference between the ultra-lightweight models and what we’d call your everyday models is the wheel size. In order to be so compact and convenient, wheels are not removable and tend to be hard rubber, 6″ wide or less.
