If you’re looking to buy a buggy, you’ll come across plenty of similar promises: extra lightweight, folds down compactly, suitable from birth or designed for all terrains. In practice, though, it’s not the marketing that matters, but the combination of age recommendation, weight limit, folded dimensions, seating position and safety features.
As Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I take an objective look at the product details that matter. This can help you avoid common buying mistakes and compare models for city life, travel or more than one child.
A buggy isn’t automatically suitable for newborns. What matters is whether the manufacturer specifies a suitable lie-flat position or a separate carrycot. A reclining backrest alone doesn’t mean a model is suitable for newborns.
So, check the following:
According to their product details, models such as the Kikka Boo Autofolding Stroller Eden and the Chicco Travel Stroller WE are suitable from birth up to 22 kg. Even so, parents should follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when using them from birth.
A folding buggy can be compact without meeting every airline’s requirements. This is especially worth bearing in mind when a buggy is described as cabin-baggage-friendly. Airlines have different size and weight limits.
Before you fly, make sure you:
For example, the CYBEX Gold LIBELLE is listed with folded dimensions of 20 × 32 × 48 cm and a weight of 6 kg. The Chicco Travel Stroller WE measures 59 × 21,5 × 46,5 cm when folded and weighs 5,5 kg. However, it’s up to each airline to decide whether you can take it into the cabin.
A lightweight buggy is easier to carry, but it may have less storage space, less suspension or smaller wheels. These details matter on cobbled streets, when tackling kerbs and on longer walks around town.
Look out for:
Many current models are designed as buggies up to 22 kg. This often means they can be used until around the age of four, but it depends on your child’s development and the manufacturer’s guidance. Never exceed the maximum weight limit. The shopping basket will usually have its own weight limit too.
According to the product details, the CYBEX Gazelle S can carry up to 22 kg with one child, or 2 × 22 kg when used as a double buggy. Its two storage areas can hold up to 23 kg in total, although each area has its own individual weight limit.
A 5-point harness should be adjustable and fit snugly against your child’s body without digging in. A bumper bar can make it easier to get your child in and out, but it doesn’t replace the harness. Before each use, make sure the frame is fully locked into place.
For prams and buggies, the EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022 standard is also a useful indication that a product has been tested against requirements for wheeled child conveyances. A reference to a standard doesn’t replace your own checks of the fastenings, harness, brakes and wheels.
A reclining backrest is useful in town and when travelling, so your child can rest along the way. An extendable hood, ventilation panels and a rain cover can all make a buggy more practical for everyday use. UPF 50+ describes the material’s UV protection; it doesn’t replace other precautions in strong sunshine.

Fully adjustable backrest, a 22 kg weight limit and compatibility with the Chicco Kory i-Size infant car seat.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
Many compact travel buggies and city models are designed for babies from around 6 months. Some prams suitable from birth have a suitable lie-flat position or can be used with an infant car seat or carrycot. Always follow the guidance from the individual manufacturer.
A buggy with a 22 kg weight limit is often designed for use until around the age of four. The actual length of use depends on your child’s height and weight, how comfortable the seat is, and whether your child can sit safely in the harness.
As well as the purchase price, you may need to pay for a rain cover, transport bag, adapters, replacement wheels or an infant car seat. It’s worth checking what’s included and what the buggy is compatible with before you buy. Regularly checking the brakes, harness, wheels and folding mechanism can help you spot wear and tear early.
