Lifestyle Awards 2024 / 5 November 2024

Best Pushchair Design (Compact / Lightweight) | Junior Design Awards 2024

These lightweight and compact pushchair designs caught our judges eyes at the JDA24

Winner:GOLD Best Pushchair Design (Compact / Lightweight)

Who:Elodie

What:Morris & Co. x Elodie MONDO Stroller - Pimpernel

Why:

The Elodie Morris & Co. Pimpernel MONDO Stroller caused a real stir on our
judging days, standing out with its elegant top-to-toe William Morris print, subtle tan fixtures and stunning brushed brass frame. While our judges loved the styling of this model, details such as a fully reclining backrest and an extendable UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window impressed on a practical level. However, it was the impressive one-hand fold that turned this super lightweight buggy into a neat 54x42x18 cm package that fits into cars, on trains and overhead compartments of most airlines, that really gave it the advantage.

What’s not to love: a well-designed pushchair with a simple fold, combined with an iconic brand for a really stylish, eye-catching collab. I love William Morris designs for my home, and now I know they look just as good on a pushchair!

Just beautiful. The perfect meeting of function and form, fitting perfectly with the William Morris ethos.

I really love the marriage of high spec, contemporary buggy with 19th century print! The ease of use and compact fold will make this a great option for parents who love to travel or are short on storage space.

Winner:SILVER Best Pushchair Design (Compact / Lightweight)

Who:My Babiie

What:MBX7 Auto-Fold Stroller

Why:

The MBX7 is your ideal travel companion, designed for convenience and comfort. Its
revolutionary auto-fold system allows for a quick and easy fold and its compact, lightweight design makes stowing and going a breeze. The magnetic harness system and 360° swivel bumper ensure hassle-free transitions in and out of the stroller. Suitable from birth, it features a one-hand lie-flat recline, adjustable footrest, and XL UPF50+ canopy for protection from all the elements. All-terrain, puncture-proof wheels with all-round suspension, offer smooth rides on various surfaces. Perfect for adventures, no journey is too big for this little stroller.

This is a design we’ve seen a lot, but that’s because it works. The addition of fashion colours and premium trims at this price point is really impressive. Good little additions like the swivel bumper bar and one-handed fold make this really easy to use. The footrest is lovely, the hood is generous and overall this offers a lot of good details you sometimes don’t see on
pricier pushchairs.

A really well made and well thought out buggy at a great price. Impressive.

This buggy felt great to steer and I LOVED the forest green colourway. This would be my perfect choice for a cool, compact folding, run-around buggy.
