Lightweight pushchairs with big hoods?

[jumperooo]

Apart from Maclarens, are there any buggies (umbrella style I guess) suitable for holidays/ taking on a plane that have big hoods? I hate parasols!

So far I have the Uppababy G-luxe, Silver Cross Pop, Zeta Vooom and Maclaren Quest on my list of buggies to go and look at.

Any thoughts on these or others suitable?

TIA

Hello,

We've noticed this thread is quite old and some of the product recommendations are a little out of date. We've spent weeks speaking to parents and testing out strollers and buggies. Here's our round up of the best lightweight buggies available to buy now

Hope that helps!

I would add a Kiddy City n Move, a Baby Jogger City Mini and a Britax B-Agile to your list. The latter aren't umbrella folds but should fly well.

the quest does not have a big hood, i had to buy a shade thingy for it as it was so useless. one of the bigger maclarens has an extending hood, XT i think.

Yes to baby jogger city mini. It's brilliant and v easy to take anywhere

Thanks will cross the Quest off the list then. I was told the BJCM is apparently as tall and wide as my Uppababy Vista, so probably not really what we want as we want something smaller than the vista for holiday and to take into the changing rooms at our leisure centre.

The bugaboo bee is great with the new snooze shade

The latest quest denim has an extending hood. It extends like the techno.
