Easy to fold and unfold
Folding pushchairs can be an ideal option for parents who travel frequently, as they are easy to fold and put away in smaller vehicles or the trunk of a vehicle. They are also great for those who frequently take public transport but struggle to travel with a full-size buggy. We offer a variety of pushchairs that are easy to fold, whether you’re a seasoned parent who is adept at it or are a novice looking for a stroller.
The way that a pushchair unfolds and folds can have a huge impact on the way you live your life, so it is important to take into account your lifestyle when selecting one. Some models are essentially one-handed, simply needing the press of a button, but others require a bit more effort and two hands. This directly affects how compact the pushchair is and the overall portability.
Scissor-folded pushchairs are among the most popular. They are typically lightweight and are named after the way they fold into a long rectangular shape like closing a pair of scissors. They are easy to use, however they can be difficult to fit into small car boot space. They might also not be suitable for infants because they don’t lie flat.
In contrast, umbrella-fold pushchairs can be typically smaller as they fold in a similar fashion to brolly. These are usually easier to use and can be done with just one hand. However removal of the seat unit from the chassis can be a bit fiddly. Some brands, such as UPPAbaby also have the G-Luxe model, which can fold and unfold with one hand and is a major benefit for parents who are busy.
The way a pushchair locks in place when folded can also have an impact on its practicality. Some lock into place automatically, whereas others have a clip that needs to be fastened. If you plan to take your stroller with you on the road, look for models that can be locked when it is in its folded position.
Multi-faceted
Even if you do not want to add a car seat or carrycot, a quality folding pushchair offers plenty of flexibility. Many are compatible with the iSize infant car seats and can be switched off or on in few seconds. This means you can leave your car at home, and use the stroller to move around.
Some fold down to create a tiny footprint, allowing you to put it in the trunk of your car or a cupboard at home. This makes them suitable for commutes and travel by bus or train. If you intend to use your buggy as a means of travel, make sure that it has been accepted by airlines for use in the cabin and fits into the space that is specified.
A pushchair can be more versatile by adding a parasol, for instance. These parasols are ideal to shield your child from the sun, particularly in the event of going out on a hot summer day. Some are fixed to the frame while others utilize a clamp that’s sold separately.
Another method that a pushchair can be more versatile is through the type of handle. Some pushchairs come with linked handles that make it easier to use one hand to push, while others have height-adjustable handles that are suited to parents of all age groups. You might also consider an infant foot-muff that adds an extra layer to keep them warm on winter walks.
The most recent advancements in fold technology have seen an increase in the number of pushchairs that can fold themselves, without any involvement from the parent. The umbrella-fold buggy is named because it folds like an umbrella. Some models fold down with a single button press some require two hands and a bit more elbow grease.
Lightweight
The most important factor in a pushchair that can be used anywhere is a light frame and puncture-proof tyres. You can easily navigate any surface, from grass to bumpy roads. An all-terrain pushchair is a bit like an SUV and will typically be designed to deal with rough terrain but will work equally well in urban areas too.
If you’re looking for a light stroller, make sure you choose one with a compact folding design and brake system that is easy to use. Some models have brake pedals on the rear axle that you can press down with your foot to cause the wheels to lock. This is a nice feature if you are a mother-to-be planning to travel with your child.
A good lightweight stroller will also come with large baskets and a comfortable reclined chair with an insulated hood. Some brands even include infant carrycots that allows you to use the pushchair from birth. Verify that the fold is sleek and does not have any unnecessary features. Also, ensure that the handles are adjusted to suit different sizes.
Some pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe are extremely light. It weighs less than six kilograms and folds up incredibly small. It also has a great list of extras, such as an ample basket, a padded seat and a reclining seat that’s not completely flat, so it’s only suitable for toddlers. The Mamas & Papas Airo is an alternative if you are looking for a light pushchair with lots of features. It’s not as light, but it has a good recline and an ample basket for parents of all heights.
An umbrella fold pushchair is an ideal option as it can be collapsed one-handed at the touch of a button and then stand upright when not in use. It can be folded and put in the trunk or back of the car. It is also able to be transported on public transport, or used at airports.
An umbrella pushchair may require more maintenance than a full-size pushchair because the fabric is less durable. Always follow the instructions on how to care for it. Check if your pushchair can be washed by machine and whether it requires special cleaning products or agents. If you notice mould or mildew on your pushchair, the best thing to do is to scrub it off and soak it in soapy, cool water. Then dry it thoroughly outside.
Easy to transport
When you’re choosing a pushchair there’s a lot to consider. Size, design, and features like three-wheeled, compatibility for multiple kids and auto-folding are important factors. The folding mechanism can also be important, as it will impact how your buggy is integrated into your lifestyle.
If you’re looking for an umbrella fold pushchair or a scissor folding, the way that your buggy folds can make a big impact on your daily life. Umbrella-folded pushchairs, which are usually lightweight strollers, get their name because they collapse in a similar manner to a brolly. The buggy folds itself by lifting a lever in the rear. The top part is folded onto the lower part. This allows them to be folded one-handed, ideal if you’re holding your baby or juggling shopping bags.
Another option is a pushchair with scissor folds such as the Le Clerc Influencer XL. These pushchairs fold in a scissor like way, creating an elongated, square-ish form. The pushchairs are simple to fold but tend to be wider when folded than umbrella-folded pushchairs which means they won’t fit in smaller car boot sizes.
If you are planning to use your pushchair with the carrycot for a travel system, it’s important to check that the seat reclines flat. A pushchair with a non-lie-flat recline might not be suitable for newborns. This is due to the fact that they must lie flat to ensure proper spinal and lung development.
You’ll also need to consider how easy your pushchair is to wash. You can either machine-wash it or spot-clean it using warm soapy water and detergent, depending on the fabric. If the hood is removed and removed, it makes it easier to get rid of mildew and lightweight strollers mold. Then you can dry it outside. Similarly, if the pram wheels are removable you can easily rinse them with soapy water to ensure they are in good condition and functioning properly. This is also true for any raincovers you might have attached to your pushchair. it’s important to make sure they aren’t damp or covered in mud since this can cause corrosion.
