Any Recommendations for a good Pushchair for Travelling?

[Tico]

I will be travelling to the Caribbean alone with my 3 month-old in Jan and want to get an appropriate pushchair to take with me. Can anyone recommend a lightweight, easy to fold/push/use pushchair? Any other travelling tips for an 8 hour flight would be much appreciated too.

When we went to jamaica with our 2 mo. old ds we had a relatively bulky (but not heavy) carseat/pushchair combo as we had rented a car and needed the carseat. If you are planning on doing lots of walking on bad roads make sure you bring a pushchair with large wheels that can handle the rough terrain. The flight is super easy at that age, especially if you are bfing (make sure you are bfing on the way up and down to take the pressure off their ears). Though I thought our flight was 11 hours, not 8. The most difficult thing I found was that everyone felt they had to tell me how to parent (cover him up, uncover him now, feed him now, feed him less/more...etc.), this seemed to be a cultural thing as it happened with everyone all over the island. I don't know if it is the same all over the caribbean. Our ds spit up a lot and I brought enough clothes for a week figuring I would just do laundry once. However, all the clothes/bibs that I stuck in the plastic carrier bag for washing back in the uk started growing mold and stinking after about 3 days in the hot, humid jamaican weather. If your baby has light skin, don't forget that at that age their skin is so delicate that they can get sunburned from just reflected sun/
