Compact-folding pushchairs

Like the name suggests compact-fold pushchairs are compact when folded, and can be easily carried using an arm or shoulder strap. They are a great option if you don't have much space in your car or at home, or are looking for a travel buggy that will fit into cabin baggage on air flights. This category of pushchair has really expanded over the last few years, with certain models designed to work from birth, while others featuring a reclining seat that can accommodate the infant.

This compact folding pushchair is well designed, simple and is ideal to travel with your baby. It's easy to manoeuvre and comes with a decent-sized basket, and the handlebar is a nice height for the majority of people. It does have a slightly difficult - and a bit finicky - way of folding, with the ring and button that needs to be timed just right to work, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite simple. It also comes with a complete recline, although the head support isn't particularly cushioned and could be uncomfortable for bigger children.

Another big plus point is the foot brake that's highly efficient, as well as a huge canopy that offers additional shade. It's a bit on expensive end, but it's an excellent option when you're looking for a travel buggy that doesn't take up too much space in your car.

The iCandy Pebble is one of the best-selling compact-folding pushchairs on the market, and for good reason. It's a lightweight, stylish buggy with a superb suspension and a fast turning circle.

For just a few dollars more you can get a bigger iCandy pebble but it's a great choice when you're looking for an easy stroller that is compact.
