Meet the Britax Rio: A Compact Travel System

Meet the Britax Rio: A Compact Travel System

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
  • Tiny Fold – 78 x 32cm – Ideal for car boots, hallway storage, or travel
  • Freestanding When Folded – Saves space and keeps fabric clean
  • One-Handed Fold & Carry – Perfect for parents juggling babies and bags
  • Full Travel System – Use with carrycot, infant car seat, or seat unit (adapters included!)
  • Reversible Seat Unit – Switch easily between parent- and forward-facing
  • Full Lie-Flat Recline – Great for newborns or naptime on the go
  • Extendable Hood with Ventilation Windows – Protection and airflow
  • All-Terrain ReadyPuncture-free tyres and all-wheel suspension
  • Telescopic Handle – Adjusts to suit all parent heights
  • 5kg Basket Capacity – Roomy enough for essentials

Included Accessories

Every Britax Rio travel system will include a thoughtful selection of accessories as standard:

  • ✔️ Cup Holder – Always handy on the go
  • ✔️ Adapters – For both infant carrier and carrycot
  • ✔️ Bumper Bar – For added comfort and security

Colour Options

The Rio will be available in four stunning colours to match every taste:

  • Soft Taupe – Neutral and elegant
  • Urban Olive – Stylish with an earthy tone
  • Teak – Warm, woody, and on-trend
  • Carbon Black – Sleek and timeless

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.
