Travel strollers make leaving home with your little one a little bit easier and a lot more convenient. Most modern travel strollers have many of the same high-end features as traditional strollers all rolled into a compact, portable package. 

Deciding on a travel stroller? Here are top 5 Tips to look out for when choosing one…

1. Weigh it up! Is it a burden or a boon?
When traveling with a baby you’ll have your hands full with your luggage & the works, so try to invest in a stroller that is light-weight & easy to juggle around!

2. Check airline restrictions...

Some airlines will ask you to check larger strollers at the check-in counter, but many will allow strollers through to gate check.

If you have a compact stroller you may be able to take it all the way to your seat. (Which also means you won't have to wait for it when you reach your destination). 

When selecting a travel stroller, make sure you check the dimensions of how small it folds up. If it comes with accessories like a bag or handy strap it'll also be easier to carry around.

3. Sun Protection! Does it fully shade your ray of sunshine? ☀️

It's all well and good to buy a travel stroller that folds up into a tiny bundle, but with some models, this usually means you sacrifice things such as a generous canopy shade. Not great news if you're going to be out and about in the sunshine a lot on your trip. 

This is also important if you live in the UAE and use your stroller for staycations. Look out for a shade that protects your little one from the summer sun, and still allows them to see the world!

Mom Tip: Models like the Babyzen Yoyo also come with a parasol with an adjustable handle that enables you to tilt the shade in any direction depending on the sunlight. 

4. Does it Recline? Check if it's comfortable enough for your cutie to catch some Zzz's

5. Safety first! Are they strapped in place and ready to roll?

Look for a sturdy seatbelt harness that will keep your child safe and secure while they're jetsetting around the world... ✈️

A compact stroller is convenient, but make sure it can recline if you want your little one to be able to nap comfortably. This is particularly helpful if you plan on long days of sightseeing.
