Easy to fold and then unfold

Folding pushchairs are the ideal choice for parents who frequently travel because they are easy to fold and put away in smaller vehicles or in the boot of a vehicle. These pushchairs are perfect for parents who travel extensively and find it difficult to carry a large triple stroller on public transport.

The way that a pushchair folds or unfolds will have a big impact on your day-to-day routine, so it's important to consider your lifestyle when choosing one. Certain models can be folded by simply turning a switch, while others require two hands and more effort. This will have a direct effect on how compact a pushchair can be and affect its overall portability and accessibility.

One of the most popular types of folding pushchairs are those with a scissor fold. They are typically light and get their name from the way they fold into a long rectangle similar to closing the scissors. They are easy and quick to use, but they can be tricky to fit into smaller car boots and might not be suitable for newborns as they don't lie flat.

In contrast, umbrella-fold pushchairs can be usually more compact as they fold in a similar way as a brolly. They are usually simpler to use and can be operated using only one hand. However, removing the seat unit from the chassis can be a bit fiddly. Certain brands, such as UPPAbaby offer a unique G Luxe model that can also fold and unfold with just one hand. This is a huge benefit for parents who are busy.

The way that the pushchair locks into place when folded can also impact its usefulness. Some lock into place automatically, while others may have a clip that has to be secured. If you intend to take your stroller with you on the road, look for models that can be locked when it is in its folded position.

Some can be folded down to a compact footprint. This lets you keep them in the back of your vehicle or in the cfolding design and brake system that's simple to use. Some models feature a brake pedal on the rear axle, which you press down using your foot to cause the wheels lock. This is a great feature for a mother-to-be planning to travel with your child.

A great lightweight pushchair will also have a large basket and comfortable seat recline that is accompanied by a protective cover. Some brands even come with the newborn carrycot which allows you to use the pushchair right from birth. You should also make sure that the fold is simple without unnecessary features, and that the handles are adjustable for different sizes of parents.

It's not as lightweight but has an excellent recline, a huge basket and a taller handlebar for parents who aren't particularly tall or short.

An umbrella fold pushchair is a convenient choice because it can be collapsed one-handed at the touch of a button and stand upright when not in use. This makes it easy to fit into the boot or trunk of a car. It can be utilized on public transport as well as in airports.

An umbrella pushchair may require more maintenance than a full-size pushchair because the fabric is less durable. Always follow the maintenance instructions that are provided. Check if the pushchair can be machine washed and whether it requires any special cleaning agents or products. If you spot mould or mildew on your pushchair, the best way to do is scrub it off and soak it in soapy, cool water. Dry it completely outside.

Easy to transport

There are numerous aspects to consider when choosing a pushchair. The size, design and extra features such as three-wheeled, suited with multiple children, or auto-folding can be key aspects. However, the mechanism for folding is also important as this will affect how your buggy fits into your daily routine.

Whether you're looking to purchase an umbrella fold pushchair or a scissor fold, the way your stroller collapses can make a big impact on your daily life. Umbrella-folded pushchairs, which are typically lightweight strollers, are named because they collapse in a similar way to a brolly. The buggy folds up by lifting a lever at the rear. The top prams portion is folded over the lower half. This makes them easy to collapse one-handed, ideal if you're holding your baby or carrying shopping bags.

Another option is a pushchair with a scissor fold like the Le Clerc Influencer XL. These pushchairs feature a scissor-like fold, which means they fold down into a flat square-ish shape. The pushchairs are simple to fold, however they tend to be larger when folded than umbrella-folded pushchairs so they may not fit into smaller car boot dimensions.

If you're using your stroller as an alternative to the carrycot, you should be checking whether the seat features a recline that is lie-flat. A pushchair with a non-lie-flat recline might not be suitable for newborns. This is because they need to lie flat to ensure proper lung and spine development.

You'll also need to think about how easy it is for your pushchair to clean. Based on the fabric, you can either machine wash it or spot clean it with warm water and a little detergent. If the hood can be removed this will make it easier to eliminate mould and mildew. Then you can dry it outside. If the wheels of your pram are removable, you can wash them with soapy water to ensure they are in good condition and functioning properly. The same is true for raincovers you might have attached to your pushchair. it's important to make sure they're not damp or covered in mud, as this can cause corrosion.
