Frequently asked questions

Can these pushchairs go in the aeroplane cabin?

These ultra-compact pushchairs — such as the Stokke YOYO, the Bugaboo Butterfly or the Joolz Aer2 — are designed to fold into a very small shape, fitting, in most cases, into the cabin luggage allowance of most airlines. As accepted dimensions vary from airline to airline, it's recommended to always check the limits with the airline before travelling.

From what age can these compact pushchairs be used?

Most of these models can be used from 6 months, when your baby can already sit with support, or from birth if combined with a compatible carrycot or infant carrier, where available for that model. We recommend checking the minimum age and the accessories needed on each pushchair's product page.

Do these pushchairs recline enough for your baby to sleep?

Yes. Despite being compact, models such as the UPPAbaby Minu V2 or the Inglesina Quid offer a reclining backrest, allowing a flatter position for rest time. The recline angle varies between models, so we recommend checking this detail on the product page.

Are they easy to fold and carry?

Yes. These pushchairs stand out precisely for their simple, compact fold, many with a one-handed close and a carry strap or handle. They're ideal for holidays, getting around the city and for storing in small spaces, such as the boot of a small car.

Which of these pushchairs is best suited to my holiday?

The choice depends on your priorities: the Stokke YOYO and the Joolz Aer2 stand out for their light weight and cabin-friendly size; the Bugaboo Butterfly and UPPAbaby Minu combine compactness with comfort; and the Inglesina Quid is a very light, practical option. If you're unsure, the Bonabebe team can help you compare.

Are they suitable as an everyday single pushchair, or just for travel?

Although designed to save space and make travel easier, many of these models offer enough comfort and sturdiness for daily city use. For very uneven or off-road routes, a pushchair with larger wheels may be preferable; the Bonabebe team can advise based on your intended use.
