How to Choose the Best Travel Pushchair

If you're planning to travel abroad with your baby or toddler, you'll need a travel pushchair that is easy to fold and also freestanding when closed. It is also important to choose one with an ample basket and a seat that is fully reclined.

It's also worth ensuring that your travel pushchair is approved by the cabin and has a suitable handle height for parents of all sizes.
