For parents whose child has moved out of the infant stage A compact pushchair could remain a good option. Many parents find that once their toddler is spending a lot of time walking, they're often more comfortable with a compact, lightweight pushchair for their travels and local excursions, rather than a large heavy full-size stroller that comes with all the other accessories. The smaller, lighter strollers are also easier to maneuver on stairs and can fit into car boot spaces.

There are many small, light pushchairs that are suitable for babies from birth, either by offering an inflatable seat or the option to add an infant car seat. For example the UPPAbaby Miniu can be used with the UPPAbaby Carrycot, which can be positioned onto the fabric of the seat, allowing baby to lie comfortably in the pushchair for naps during the night or daytime naps. The Aer is a bit more expensive than the Minu but provides a similar solution. It is a hood that can be stowed on the front of the seat and offers a large and comfortable area for babies to lie on their backs.

Some of the smaller pushchairs are also equipped with a range of add-ons to make them even more useful, such as shopping bags, footmuffs, and parasols. These accessories can keep parents and baby warm and protected from the sun's rays in colder temperatures. While these extras can increase the cost of a compact, lightweight pushchair, they are still significantly less expensive than a complete, branded travel system, and could be a good investment for many families.

For those who are looking for a stroller that folds down as small as is possible and is as compact as possible, the Summer Infant 3D Lite is an excellent option. It folds down to the size of a backpack, and weighs in at just a little over six pounds, which makes it very easy to carry into and out of taxis or cafes. While it does not have a parent's pocket (you may be able to put a few dollars in there however, there's nothing else) however, it does come with an extendable footrest as well as an enormous canopy that blocks the sun.

They're ideal for toddlers.
