What is a lightweight buggy?

A lightweight buggy is a pushchair that’s low in weight - generally anything under the 8kg- or 9kg-mark. To put this into perspective, there are some truly lightweight buggies around that come in under 6kg.

Often called ‘strollers’, lightweight buggies are perfect for nipping to the shops and taking on holiday. They should be easy to steer, fold and store and not break your back like the bulkier options. Compactness is also a big feature.
