Questions to ask yourself before buying a pushchair for your globetrotting baby

Buying a pushchair for a globetrotting baby is an important step for parents who love to travel and explore the world with their child. Between urban escapades, outdoor adventures and air travel, it’s essential to choose a model that’s comfortable, practical and suitable for different types of terrain. But with so many options on the market, it’s easy to feel lost. Before making your choice, it’s crucial to ask yourself the right questions to find the right pushchair for your specific needs. Here are the main questions to consider in order to make an informed purchase, while ensuring your baby’s comfort and safety, wherever your adventures may take you.

The main factors in choosing a pushchair are the age of the passenger and their body shape. Other aspects also come into play, such as the way you travel, the features you need and the budget you have. When travelling, it’s best to opt for an ultra-light, compact pushchair so you can take it everywhere. You also need to think about manoeuvrability: there’s nothing more cumbersome than a pushchair that’s unsuitable for walking. Comfort is also a fundamental criterion when choosing a small vehicle.

Yes, if the pushchair is cabin-approved, you can take it on the plane without having to put it in the hold. There are many cabin-approved pushchairs that fold up in a jiffy and can be stowed with your hand luggage. These are essentially pushchairs known as ‘walking sticks’ or ‘umbrellas’. The pushchair counts as 1 piece of cabin baggage (in addition to your hand bag). As well as being practical for boarding the plane, the ‘cabin pushchair’ has the advantage of being more versatile for the rest of the journey. The world’s smallest pushchair is the Pockit from gb. Listed in the Guinness World Book, it is just 35 cm high, 30 cm wide and 18 cm deep, weighing just 4.6 kg. Suitable for babies from 6 months to around 3 years, it’s ideal for travellers of around 10 months. And don’t forget that some hotels (around a third of Little Guest hotels) offer pushchairs to make life easier during your trip!

According to parents who have experienced travelling with young children, having a pushchair makes holidays much more enjoyable. Even if use is restricted in some places, a pushchair will always be useful: for journeys to the airport, getting around the hotel, a nap on the beach sheltered from the sun or enjoying the mild evenings while keeping baby protected from mosquitoes! Choose a lightweight, compact pushchair to make travelling easier. According to Maman globetrotteuse, the best choice is an umbrella pushchair with a horizontal position so that baby can rest during visits or fight jet lag peacefully. What’s more, pushchair accessories such as mosquito nets and UV protection can be invaluable allies on holiday. A baby carrier is also very useful, as it allows greater mobility and leaves the hands free, but it remains a nice addition to a pushchair when travelling.
