This makes it perfect for parents who want to take their baby along with them on flights as well as local excursions and day trips.

Another good alternative is a travel system bundle that incorporates a pushchair and infant car seats from the same brand.

If you plan to use your travel stroller on rough terrain, select a model with a solid base and wheels that are large enough for handling bumps and lumps. Smaller wheels are more difficult to maneuver on any other surface than smooth pavements. Reversible seats are also beneficial, as your baby can initially face their parent and then face the world when they get older.

Depending on the time of year you're planning to travel, you'll also need to consider whether your stroller will offer the protection against weather you require.

You should purchase a raincover specifically designed for your model of pushchair, not a generic one.
