12 lightest wheelchairs

The dimensions and weight of the stroller, in which you are going to move your baby along the street, directly affect the ease of use, and are often one of the main criteria for choosing this first vehicle. A stroller can be considered lightweight if the weight of the empty product is in the range from 3 to 15 kg. At the same time, it must retain all the basic functions - the model must remain stable, maneuverable, adapted to any weather conditions and be comfortable for the child. And if earlier only folding walking options (the so-called “canes” and “books”) could boast of super-light weight, now some manufacturers offer classic cradles for newborns and universal 2 in 1 and 3 in 1 modular systems, which are also compact and small weight.

By compiling our ranking of the best lightweight wheelchairs, we tried to cover the most interesting market innovations, which earned the greatest number of positive ratings, not only according to experts, but also from reviews of ordinary buyers. Also in the allocation of seats were taken into account such important criteria as:

• construction safety;
• availability of additional options;
• design and ergonomics;
• affordability.

The best light cane strollers

Models that when folded resemble a cane are considered to be the lightest and most compact. It is the similarity with this accessory that gave the name to this type of stroller. Experts recommend purchasing "canes" for children after six months, when the baby has learned to sit on its own. Such designs are especially convenient to take with you on a trip by public transport - due to their small dimensions, they can be easily located even on the smallest part of the free space.

3 Everflo E-100 Simple

The most inexpensive and unassuming model of our rating can be conveniently used for summer walks in the fresh air and traveling. This simple and reliable design for transporting children from six months to 3 years weighs less than 4 kg and has a very compact size, which makes it easy to carry it in your hands when folded. The back of the product does not take a horizontal position, so this model is hardly suitable for long walks, implying the daytime sleep of the baby on the road. But in order to go shopping, in the kindergarten or just walk through the park, Everflo E-100 Simple is the best option. It is also worth noting maneuverable swivel front wheels with the possibility of fixation, a protective bumper and two-point seat belts.
