As the summer arrives, many parents with growing babies like to switch from a bulky travel system or combi pushchair, to a lightweight model, especially if they are about to go on holiday, when lugging extra weight can be expensive and is always a hassle. You only have to check out our Buyer's Guide to Lightweight Buggies to see how wide the choice is.
The Red Castle Mini Red
We especially like the new Red Castle Mini Red in the lightweight category, because it really IS light! Weighing just 5.4kg, you wouldn't expect it to be suitable for the youngest traveller, but the Mini Red is indeed suitable from birth. This is because, whilst its design is simple and light, it does have one recline position - suitable from birth.
The Mini Red also folds flat easily, it has a foot brake and front wheels which are lockable or can be used in swivel mode.
In this category, there are rarely little extras, but the Mini Red has a sun-protecting hood which can be tied back when you don't need it, and has a good-sized basket underneath, which takes loads up to 3kg.
The Red Castle Mini Red is available in black, turquoise and fuchsia, plus it comes with its own carrybag. It has an RRP of £85.
