Frequently asked questions
- Can lightweight pushchairs be used from birth?
- Some recline flat or accept a carrycot for newborn use, but many suit babies from around six months who can sit unaided. Always check the model's stated minimum age.
- Will a travel pushchair fit in aeroplane overhead lockers?
- Several fold small enough for cabin lockers, but airline allowances vary. Check both the folded dimensions and your specific airline's cabin baggage policy before flying.
- Are lightweight pushchairs suitable for everyday use?
- They handle pavements and shops well but typically have smaller wheels and less suspension, so they are less comfortable on rough terrain than a full-size pushchair.
