Hello,

Would you be able to recommend Lightweight umbrella-type strollers that will also allow me to face my baby but will also allow me to get face the other way when she gets a bit older?

I’d like to face her and talk to her while pushing her around as it makes me feel so much more connected with her.

Thank you!

Hi Ivana,

I love your self-description there!

Here’s a list of Baby Pushchairs that folds umbrella-style and have reversible seat units so you can have the option you want. I agree that reversible seat units are ideal – it will also allow your child to face the other way when they reach that age when they get sick of looking at you (and how soon that happens is downright shocking!)

Now with regards to “lightweight” – well, that one is relative I think, as what may be considered as lightweight doesn’t necessarily feel light to some people so I think it can be a bit misleading. So I’ve indicated the actual weight of each model. I hope it helps!

Chicco Trio For Me Travel System – weighs 10.4 kg (23 lbs)

Bebe Confort Loola Up Travel System - weighs 13.6 kg

Bebe Confort Loola Travel System – weighs 13.1 kg

Inglesina Ottuto Travel System – weighs 13.2 kg

Again, note that these are umbrella-folding pushchairs only. There are many other lighter pushchairs that have reversible seat units but they fold concertina or scissor -style, NOT umbrella-style.

make sure to read our reviews first of the pushchairs mentioned before buying it so you can make an informed decision.

Good luck with your shopping and happy parenting!
