Versatile and reliable, it's the ideal buggy for both day-to-day use and travel thanks to it small footprint and cabin-approved size for flights. With a weight limit that makes it suitable for kids up to around five years, you could get quite a lot of use out of it both on your travels and day-to-day. Buggies can also be useful for public transport if you live in the city, ideal for family holidays when you’re trying to minimise luggage, and a lifesaver for those moments when your toddler just wants to rest their tired legs.

You’ll appreciate the importance of the best travel strollers, if you’ve ever tried to cram a large pram into a car boot or stash a pushchair on a plane. Many parents reach for a lightweight buggy when preparing to go on holiday so you may be looking for something that can fit inside the locker of a plane as hand luggage. With an extendable handle and swivel wheels, the Dragonfly is a comfortable ride that steers well, although it does struggle going up kerbs.The expanding UPF 50 sun canopy gives good coverage, but you’ll need to cover your child’s legs on sunnier days. Similarly, the very lightest designs can sometimes have no hood or sun canopy, or one that’s incredibly small.

The only criticism is that the gold colour is very orange/bronze which it didn’t look in the product description and it does make it look cheaper. The brake is very easy to engage - one of the easiest we've come across in fact - and the five-point harness is simple to adjust. It has an ergonomic seat for better baby comfort, with wider front wheels and improved suspension providing the best ride yet. They’re compact, easy to manoeuvre and are ideal to use on public transport, which makes getting around big cities or urban areas a breeze.

The flip-flop-friendly brakes are easy to use, while the lockable front swivel wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride for baby.

The seat does, however, have a lovely, cushioned leatherette bumper bar to give parents extra peace of mind. Often touted as a great travel option, the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 works equally well as a day-to-day buggy. Weight: Weight can vary wildly between strollers, with some even coming with handles for carrying around while others require a lot more effort. Didofy has designed the brake to be flip-flop-friendly and it's very easy to engage and holds the pram securely, but our tester did feel the bar was set quite far back so may get in the way for parents with a longer stride. The compact frame easily wheels through small or tight spaces, and the stroller can be folded down with just one hand, although it took our parent tester, Laura, some time to master.Compared to other budget options, this buggy shows attention to detail, with an embroidered seat and ritzy wheels as well as a fully reclining backrest with four options and an adjustable leg rest to make sure your bundle of joy is comfortable. and costing not-too-much, it’s a good middle-of-the-road package an folds to a dinky 45 x 55 x 25cm, making it easy to stash in overhead lockers on planes and trains. The ergonomic, padded seat was loved by our tester’s two-year-old who slept soundly when out and about, but the near-flat recline, adjustable leg rest and built-in newborn flaps also allow you to use the Metro+ from day one. An upgrade to the ever-popular Babyzen YOYO+, the Babyzen YOYO² boasts improved suspension, a higher weight limit, a new faux leather handlebar and compatibility with even more infant car seats than its predecessor.
