Cabin strollers, or travel strollers, get you on and off the plane, through the airports and around on your holiday with ease. The strollers below all fit into the compact strollers category, they’re all designed with space-saving in mind, both when in use and folded up, they all boast the best manoeuvrability, they are an essential item for jet setting families. We know Singapore families love a vacation, so we’ve hand-picked the very best strollers for travel, to get you and your family on your way!
Choosing a stroller for air travel
In the travel stroller business, it’s all about weight and size. These babies are slimline, feather-light and compact. Ease of set up and pack down is almost as important as comfort and manoeuvrability. And thanks to superhuman feats of material technology and design they do all of these things remarkably well. They all fold up quickly and are small enough to carry on board the aeroplane. You can wheel your little one right to the gate and then be packed up and overhead-compartment-ready without holding up the queue. Some even hang over your shoulder or tuck into a backpack leaving your hands free for more important things - like your baby! In fact, we've made a comprehensive guide to travelling with strollers, it's a 3 minute read but well worth it.
The Mountain Buggy Nano V3 is super lightweight and folds down in an instant. The Bugaboo Ant wins in the customisation stakes as it can be either parent or world facing and has an adjustable height handlebar. The Nuna Trvl is self-folding and compatible with the Nuna Pipa car seat (a very popular choice for the newborn stage) and has some nice extra touches, like a click-on click-off brake and magnetic buckle.
We stand behind all the travel size strollers above, you could just choose by price, or better yet, book an appointment to come in and try them out.
Cabin strollers around town
Let’s face it, there are a select few of us who buy a stroller just for air travel alone. Cabin strollers need to be more than one-trick ponies that fit in the overhead locker. Some people invest in a travel stroller to complement their larger comfort stroller, while many of us here in Singapore appreciate the compact nature of a cabin-sized stroller in our everyday lives. After all, not all travel is by plane, a travel stroller is also great for whipping in and out of taxis, on the bus, or wherever you need to take it. Added bonus - they fold up small enough to tuck away into a cupboard or slide under the bed!
Any from the selection above will work excellently as a cabin stroller, but as they are all at the top of the range they are equally as good as (and in many cases a good deal better than) any leading single stroller. If you are considering a compact stroller, it makes sense to choose one that can double as a cabin stroller. Our stroller buying guide can help you sort out which category of stroller will be the best for your unique situation.
