Lightweight strollers – compact strollers for town and travel - page 4
Lightweight strollers (pushchairs) have only a seat unit, without a carrycot or car seat. They are lighter and smaller than combination strollers, and sturdier and more comfortable than umbrella strollers – a common choice for town, public transport and travel once the baby outgrows the carrycot.
Our range includes Inglesina Quid 3 and Zippy Light, Hauck Travel N Care, Fly N Care, Lite N Care, Sport and Viper, Peg Perego Booklet, Volo and Pliko P3, Graco Evo Mini and Lorelli Sport. All stroller types are in Strollers.
Types of lightweight strollers
| Type | Features | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-compact (travel) | Folds into a small package, often cabin-size | Travel, flights, small car boots |
| Classic pushchair | Larger seat and wheels, multi-position backrest, shopping basket | Everyday walks in town and the park |
| From birth | Reclines almost flat, extra newborn insert | One stroller from the start (check the age in the description) |
How to choose a lightweight stroller
- Fold: one-handed, with an automatic lock and the ability to stand when folded.
- Weight: important if you carry it often – most models weigh between 6 and 10 kg.
- Backrest and footrest: several positions allow comfortable naps on walks.
- Wheels and suspension: for cobbles and parks choose larger wheels with suspension.
- Canopy and basket: UV protection and enough space for a bag.
Pharmacist's tipBefore buying, measure your car boot and check the folded dimensions in the product description. For sun and rain, a parasol and rain cover from Stroller accessories are practical. |

Frequently asked questions
From what age are lightweight strollers used?
Usually from about 6 months, when the baby sits steadily. Some models have a lie-flat position suitable from birth – this is stated in the product description.
What is the difference between a lightweight and an umbrella stroller?
Umbrella strollers fold lengthwise and are the lightest; lightweight strollers have a sturdier frame, a larger seat and more recline positions.
Can a lightweight stroller go in the aircraft cabin?
Some ultra-compact models allow this, but rules depend on the airline – check the dimensions before you travel.
