Lightweight/small pram suggestions

[Dee96]

Hi all, I'm a very petite 5ft new mum and looking for any good converting pram suggestions. It's really important that it is small so I can actually get around with it and easy to fold so I'm not tackling the thing away! Preferably affordable

This thread is a little old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you've landed here looking for lightweight strollers recommendations, we've recently updated our best lightweight strollers page with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users. We hope you find it useful. 💐MNHQ

We got a ZeTa double stroller for our twins. Very affordable, sturdy and lightweight.

bugaboo bee? suitable from birth, car seat compatible and more lightweight than the bigger travel systems. Also the baby jogger city mini GT gets really good reviews and is also suitable from birth I believe

I haven't tried it in person yet but I would look I'm the same build and live in a city so small, lightweight and easy to fold small are my top requirements. The Babyzen Yoyo has come up top on my searches for something similar. It comes as a regular buggy and you can buy a pack with a newborn bassinet.

I had a Bugaboo Bee and I loved it. It parent faces and faces away, can attach a car seat, has height adjustable handles and so easy to manoeuvre. It makes a great toddler pushchair too. Folds easily.

@JohnBarron which one did you have? There are so many types it's quite overwhelming

Also have the bugaboo bee and it's been great. I'm also petite so it was important that it was easy to carry. The wheels are small though so has been a bit of a pain on some grassy walks but then it's not an off road type of pram. Definitely a city pram. It's not cheap though.

Another vote for the Bee, it's light but not weedy, definitely a city/town pram though. The basket is smaller world facing and it's annoying there's no foot support parent facing but that's my biggest complaint atm (DD is a small 26 months)

I hate prams without a parent facing option, I want to see my baby and when they're older be able to communicate with them effectively (signing!).

We have a cheap knock off baby zen (infababy) and i hate it, the handle doesn't adjust and is too narrow and it's tippy.

Well I bought my Bee 8 years ago so it’s quite an old one now! It has the newborn insert rather than a carrycot but this was fine as it was snug and meant I could fold the pram down without taking it out. It lasted me through two children. Now it’s sitting in my garage I really need to crack on and sell it thinking about it.

Another vote for a bugaboo! Check marketplace I picked ours up second hands, it had quite a few extras and was hardly used/very well looked after and I got it for £130!

Bugaboo is fantastic

I have the bugaboo bee, I still carry my two year old up and down stairs with it.

I liked the yoyo but it doesn't parent face which was a deal breaker for me.
