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.
