Looking for a compact travel system that does it all – without taking over your hallway or boot space? Enter the all-new Britax Rio, launching later this year. It’s the most compact pushchair Britax has ever made, but don’t let its small size fool you – it’s full of features, flexibility, and thoughtful design.
Unveiled at the Britax Summer Event at Silverstone, the Rio is the ultimate go-anywhere stroller, ready to grow with your child from day one.
Why the Britax Rio Stands Out
The Britax Rio has been carefully designed for modern, space-conscious families who still want full travel system functionality. At just 55cm wide and weighing only 10kg, it’s small enough to handle the tightest spaces – but big enough on features to support your growing baby.
When folded, it’s a compact 78 x 32cm, and best of all? It’s freestanding – perfect for cafes, storage cupboards or boots.
Key Features at a Glance:
- ✅ Only 55cm wide & 10kg light – Ultra-nimble and perfect for everyday use

How Much Will It Cost?
The Britax Rio is expected to retail at around £299, offering fantastic value for a full-featured compact travel system with key accessories included.
For those wanting a cosy newborn setup, the carrycot will be available separately for approximately £170 – perfect for those first few months. Additionally, rain covers (sold separately) are expected to retail for around £30.
