There are plenty to choose from, including those that come with a array of extras such as baby bassinets, a rain cover, and even a leg rest for toddlers so they don't have their legs hanging. They may feel a little flimsy because they have a shorter frame and a simpler suspension than full-sized buggies. However our MFM testers found that all were manageable.

A compact pushchair egg that is easily maneuverable will have a large basket for storage so that you can carry all your essentials with you.

The ability to fold and unfold using one hand is an enormous plus, especially if you're travelling alone.
