What to look for in a travel stroller
Portability and easy folding
When you're travelling with a baby or toddler, convenience is everything. Look for a stroller that's quick to fold, easy to manoeuvre and simple to transport through busy airports, train stations and city streets.
A self-standing fold and pull-along design can make travelling easier, especially when your hands are already full.
Compact size and weight
A compact travel stroller is ideal for families who are short on space, whether that's in the car boot, hotel room or airport.
If you're planning to fly, consider the stroller's folded dimensions and check your airline's cabin baggage requirements before departure.
Comfort from newborn to toddler
A good travel stroller should keep your little one comfortable throughout the journey. Look for a reclining seat, adjustable calf support, a protective sun hood and secure harness.
For newborns, choose a stroller specifically designed for use from birth.
Everyday practicality
The best travel strollers aren't just for holidays. Features such as accessible storage, durable wheels, easy-to-use brakes and car seat compatibility can make a compact stroller just as useful for everyday outings.

Can you take a travel stroller on a plane?
A cabin-compatible stroller can make flying with little ones more convenient, allowing you to keep your stroller close during your journey where airline rules permit.
Jet 5 has a compact, cabin-size fold designed for convenient storage when travelling. However, cabin baggage allowances vary between airlines, aircraft and ticket types, so always confirm the requirements with your airline before flying.
If your stroller cannot be taken into the cabin, your airline may offer gate-checking or checked-baggage options.
Why choose a compact stroller for everyday adventures?
A travel stroller can be just as useful at home as it is on holiday. Compact designs are ideal for navigating shopping centres, taking public transport, fitting into smaller car boots and storing away between outings.
With its lie-flat seat, adjustable calf support, practical storage basket and compact fold, Jet 5 is designed to transition effortlessly between everyday outings and family holidays.
