Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.

Redsbaby skip 3 for which we bought the handle bar separately or I would recommend baby bee’s travel pram but you’ll have to buy the carry bag separately
Get the travel pram! We have the Skip 3, we bought it to take interstate and it was so good. Now we keep it in our car to use when we go out
No idea on the seat but for travel pram I went with the Redsbaby Skip3 after extensive research. Biggest basket, one of the lightest ones, sturdy, easy to manoeuvre and comfortable. Comes with its own travel bag and it’s excellent for the price
I have always travelled with a vista an a Cruz. They aren’t too bad to travel with and you can just put it in a travel bag and gate check it. With that said, I recently got the Skip3 because I am flying long haul solo with 4 kids and I love it. It’s also not ridiculously expensive and has a 20% off right now. Tips for travel - plenty of food for baby and a few toys they like, a portable changing mat and 2 change of clothes. It’s not an easy flight going there but it’s manageable. Good luck!
We went to Melbourne before Christmas and were able to fit our Redsbaby Skip 3 in the overhead compartment. Baby is not the biggest fan of the carrier and 99th percentile for weight so having a pram that could fit on the plane really suited us! Now I use the skip more than our big pram.
I took the skip3 overseas recently and honestly can’t fault it. It went on 6 different planes, was gate checked for some and carried on for others. The hood also folds down very far for when Bub is napping. Make sure you get the bar accessory. Very helpful for feeling more secure with younger Bub in the pram + it’s somewhere to loop a fan if you’re going somewhere warm (baby was also 6 months when we went on holidays). Let me know if you have any questions!
The seat sits all the way up. There’s a strap in the back that you pull to tighten to sit up and can slowly release to recline to whatever angle you want. Very simple and very easy system!
The skip3 is one handed fold though. I got one for $400 on sale the other week from their website. It’s pretty good. Small basket etc but totally doable. I think I’ll start using as the main pram for my 11 month old now.
