Silver Cross is a trusted brand beloved for generations and its Jet model is designed for holidaying and beyond. Similarly, certain brands are particularly covetable, so if that matters to you, or you want to buy a lightweight buggy to match other items in your baby equipment ecosystem, we think we’ve got most bases covered in our pick of the best below. So whether you want a fun one for a holiday vibe or have a favourite colour, you may as well pick one you like the look of as you’ll probably be using it a lot. Some buggies look better than others and come in a rainbow of colours. Vanity: Like with cars, sometimes looks matter almost as much as practicality. If you can, we recommend trying before you buy. Similarly, folding mechanisms vary massively, and you need to find one that’s easy for you and suitable for your needs. This is great if you’re a frequent flier, use public transport or have a small car, but this feature can make some models more expensive, so if you’re not bothered, you might want to pass. Size: As well as being light, some buggies are designed to fold up incredibly small. If these are wrong, they will drive you mad and you’ll regret skimping and saving £20…but if you’re just going on holiday for a week you’ll be keen to make do and save more pennies for ice cream. If it’s going to be in use a lot, you’ll want to check all the little extras like covers/hoods, the size of a shopping basket and reclining options. Of course, you don’t want to over-spend, but if you’re going to use your lightweight buggy very frequently, it’s worth spending a little more and reading reviews about durability really carefully. Parental extras: Lightweight buggies seldom come with extras like cup holders but you might want to check the size and sturdiness of a buggy’s shopping basket as this can be a curse or saviour if you use a buggy frequently.Ĭost: Budget is key to most parents. So if you’re shopping for a light buggy for a holiday in the sun, this is a factor that you’ll want to look at carefully. Similarly, the very lightest designs can sometimes have no hood or sun canopy, or one that’s incredibly small. Not all buggies, especially the lightweight ones, come with rain covers, and they can cost quite a lot, so it’s worth noticing whether they come fitted as standard when budgeting. The weather: If you’re buying a light buggy for use in the UK, you’re going to want a rain cover and a sun cover (well, if you’re feeling optimistic). Some with less padding are only designed for babies aged six months or one or over, for example. If your child likes a little nap on the go, you will not want a buggy that doesn’t recline!Īge: It sounds obvious, but it’s important to consider whether lightweight buggies are suitable for the age of your baby. So consider how much padding your little one likes (especially if they’re a light sleeper) as well as features like whether the pushchair is parent or world-facing (not all buggies are both) and whether they have multiple reclining positions.
