Rank #1 in Best Lightweight Strollers 2026: 10 Ranked, Weights Fact-Checked
Maxi-Cosi Lara2 Pushchair, 0-22 kg, Auto-Fold
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
When the headline number on a pushchair is its weight, the useful question is which part of it is being weighed. The Maxi-Cosi Lara2 takes the top spot in this guide at £174.95, rated 4.1 out of 5 from 675 ratings, and it is sold as a lightweight, compact stroller for 0-4 years with an automatic fold, a lie-flat position and three recline settings.
Its own listing does not answer that question. The same 6.4 kg turns up in three separate specification fields — Item Weight, Frame Weight and Car Seat Weight — so the figure on its own does not tell you whether it covers the frame or everything you lift, and a 'car seat weight' has no obvious meaning on a stroller that is not a car seat. The fold measurement is no cleaner: the bullet text gives 51 x 50 x 26 cm (HxWxD) while the specification field reads '51 x 50 26 cm', missing one of the separators, against an open size of 70 x 50 x 104 cm — which leaves the width at 50 cm in both states and only height and depth changing. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Great travel buggy. Much better than a lot of other ones out there. Folds nice and neatly, easy to use, looks good too. Feels like a quality product. We use it for our nine month old and occasionally for the three year old, and it suits both kids easily.”
Verified purchase“The Maxi-Cosi Lara2 Pushchair is a fantastic stroller; lightweight, easy to fold, and perfect for everyday use. It's comfortable for my child and very convenient when on the go. My only wish is that it came with a cup holder, but overall, it's a great buy!”

Questions people ask
How much does the Maxi-Cosi Lara2 weigh?
The listing gives 6.4 kg three times — as Item Weight, Frame Weight and Car Seat Weight — and never says which of those covers the whole pushchair.
What is the folded size of the Maxi-Cosi Lara2?
The bullet text says 51 x 50 x 26 cm (HxWxD). The specification field says '51 x 50 26 cm', which is missing one of the separators, so the listing does not state the three folded dimensions in the same way twice.
Does the Maxi-Cosi Lara2 fold by itself?
The listing says pushing the push bar folds the Lara2 'in just a flash', after which it folds automatically. One reviewer describes it as easy to fold.
What ages and weights is the Maxi-Cosi Lara2 sold for?
From birth up to 4 years, and up to 22 kg — the same 22 kg that appears again in a separate 'Car Seat Weight Capacity Maximum' field on the listing.
What is included with the Maxi-Cosi Lara2?
The listing names a raincover, a shoulder strap and two shopping baskets with easy access to you and your baby's belongings.
How do buyers rate the Maxi-Cosi Lara2?
The listing shows 4.1 out of 5 from 675 ratings, and the breakdown is heavily five-star: 63 against 37 across all four other scores combined.
