Lightweight pushchair

These are pushchairs which are especially lightweight and simple to use. Perfect for shopping, travelling and holidays, those with a full lie-back can be used for newborn babies. They weigh less than 7kg (many weigh only 5kg) and can be folded up using only one hand. Some models offer almost every feature one would expect to find on a pushchair; others are so rudimentary they do not come with a hood or a shopping basket. Examples of good lightweight pushchairs are the Maclaren Quest and the Quinny Zapp.
