If you're looking for a light pushchair, our favorite is the Silver Cross Dune. It has all the sophisticated design and thoughtful features that you would expect from this renowned brand however, it comes in a smaller size. It has an easy-to use fold, and like the Contours Itsy comes fully assembled in the box. It's a great choice for parents who intend to do lots of travelling with their infant and can fit into the majority of car boot spaces and trunk spaces.

The Cybex Mios is another option. It is a bridge between the two categories of pushchairs and is a fully-functional system with nimbleness. It can be used from birth in a parent-facing mode, but then switched to world-facing as your child gets older, and it also has a decent recline that's nap-friendly. It's not as compact as the Libelle however it's a bit smaller and easier to use on flat surfaces. It's not the ideal choice for rocky terrain, however. Another benefit is a very affordable price tag and excellent durability tests.

Easy to store

The Joie Pact Pro is the ideal travel buggy, which folds into a size that can be tucked away in an overhead luggage compartment, and it weighs so little that you'll not even feel it in your car boot.

She was impressed by the adjustable handle, lockable wheels and the reclined seat. However, she noted that it wasn't particularly comfortable.

The Babyzen YoYO is a different, impressively compact fold pushchair. It's not as sleek as the Cybex Libelle but it's still an attractive package that can easily slide into trunks and car boot.

It's also a breeze to use and our MFM reviewer Matt found it a pleasure to steer, even with a heavy toddler in the. He also loved the hood, which comes down low enough to protect from rain and sun and facilitate naps. The only drawbacks are that it lacks under-seat storage, and you'll have to carry or gently hang a bag over the handlebar (against our advice!). You can also purchase a separately sold changing bag holder to make it an ideal buggy for the holidays.

You'll also want to check whether the model you're looking at is designed specifically for the kind of travel you're doing, for example, if you're going somewhere hot, look out for one with an air-ventilated mesh fabric to keep your child cool.
