Folding pushchairs are the ideal choice for parents who frequently travel because they are easy to fold and put away in smaller vehicles or the boot of a vehicle.

The way a folding or unfolding pushchair can have a huge impact on your daily life, so it is crucial to consider your lifestyle when choosing one. Some models can be folded with just a touch of a button, whereas others need two hands and more effort. This directly affects how compact the pushchair is and how easily it can be moved around.
One of the most well-known kinds of folding pushchairs is those with a scissor fold. They are light and get their names from the folding method they use to create the shape of a long rectangle like a pair scissors is closed. They are easy to use, but they aren't always easy to fit into small car boot space. They may also not be suitable for infants because they don't lie flat.
The umbrella-folded pushchairs, however are smaller as they fold similarly to a brolly. They are often more accessible and can be operated with a single hand, although they can be a little fiddly when trying to remove the seat unit from the chassis. Some brands, such as UPPAbaby also have a unique G-Luxe model that can be folded and unfolded using just one hand, which is a huge bonus for busy parents.
The method by which a pushchair locks in place when folded can influence its practicality. Some lock automatically, while others may have a clip that has to be fastened. If you're planning to travel with your triple stroller, it's worth looking for one that can be locked into its folded position and is safe to transport on planes.
Versatile
Even if you don't need to buy a car seat or carrycot, a great folding pushchair offers plenty of flexibility. Many are compatible with the iSize infant car seats and can be clicked off or on in a few seconds. This means you can leave your car at home and use the babiie stroller to move around.

If you are planning to use your buggy as a means of travel, make sure that it has been approved by airlines to be used in the cabin and can fit into the space specified.
A pushchair can become more flexible by adding a shade, for instance. These parasols are great to shield your child from the sun, especially if you are going out on a hot day. Some are attached to the frame, while others use a clamp that's sold separately.
Another way to make a pushchair be more flexible is through the kind of handle. Some pushchairs come with linked handles to allow one hand to push while others have height adjustable handles to fit parents of all different ages. You may also think about an infant foot-muff that adds an extra layer of warmth on winter walks.
The latest advancements in fold technology have resulted in an increase in the number of pushchairs which can fold themselves, without any involvement from the parent. This kind of self-standing buggy is called an umbrella-fold pushchair. Its name comes because it folds similarly as an umbrella. Some models are completely automated that require just a single press on one button to fold the fold, whereas others require a little more elbow grease and two hands, however they'll still be smaller and lighter than traditional pushchairs.
Lightweight
The most important factor in a pushchair that can be used everywhere is a light frame and puncture-proof tyres. You can easily navigate any surface, from grass to bumpy roads. All-terrain pushchairs are like SUVs and are often designed to deal with rough terrain, but they will also be able to work in urban areas.
When shopping for a lightweight pushchair, make sure you choose one with a compact fold and an easy braking system that is simple to use. Some models include brake pedals at the rear axle that you can press down to stop the wheels from moving. This feature is great for parents who plan to travel with their baby.
A quality stroller that is light in weight comes with large baskets and an ergonomically reclined seat that has a protective cover. Some brands offer a baby carrycot that lets you use the pushchair right from birth. Make sure the fold is slim and doesn't have any unnecessary features. Also, ensure that the handles are adjusted to fit different sizes.
Some pushchairs are very light, such as the UPPAbaby G-Luxe that weighs less than 6kg and features an extremely compact fold. It also comes with a comprehensive list of extras including an ample basket with a comfortable seat, as well as an adjustable seat that is not completely flat, so it's ideal for toddlers. The Mamas & Papas Airo is another great option if you are looking for a light pushchair that has plenty of features. It's not as light, but it has a great recline, a large basket and a taller handlebar for parents who are not very tall or short.
An umbrella fold pushchair is an ideal choice because it can be folded at the push of a button and stand upright when not in use. It can be folded and put in the trunk or Double stroller back of a car. It is also able to be transported on public transport, or used at airports.
A full-size stroller will require more maintenance due to its fabric is less durable. Always follow the care guidelines provided. Check if your pushchair can machine wash and whether it requires any special cleaning products or agents. If you find mould or mildew on your pushchair, the most effective thing to do is scrub it off and soak it in soapy, cool water. Dry it thoroughly outside.
Easy to transport
There are many things to take into consideration when selecting the best pushchair. The design, size and other features such as three-wheeled, suitable for multiple children or auto-folding can be key factors. However, the folding mechanism is also important as this can affect how well your buggy will fit into your lifestyle.
Whether you're looking to purchase an umbrella fold pushchair or a scissor fold, the way your buggy collapses can make a huge difference to your everyday life. Umbrella-folded pushchairs, which are generally lightweight strollers, get their name because they fold in a similar way to brolly. You simply pull the lever or switch on the back of the buggy, and it folds in on itself, with the top half folding over the lower half. They can be folded with one hand, which is great for holding your child and bags for juggling.
A scissor fold pushchair, such as the Le Clerc Influencer XL, is another great choice. These pushchairs fold in a scissorlike manner, resulting in an elongated, square-ish form. They are easy to fold, but they do tend to be larger than umbrella-fold pushchairs so may not fit into smaller car boot.
If you're using your pushchair for a travel system with the carrycot, you should be making sure that the seat has a lie-flat recline. A pushchair with car seat with a non-lie-flat recline may not be suitable for newborns. This is because they need to lie flat to ensure proper spinal and lung development.
You'll also need to consider how easy it is for your pushchair to clean. Depending on the fabric, you can either machine wash it or spot clean it with warm water and a little detergent. If the hood is removed, it will make it easier to get rid of mould and mildew. Then you can dry it outside. If the wheels of your pushchair are movable they can be washed with warm soapy tap water to keep them clean. Raincovers attached to the pram should be checked to ensure they aren't soaked or covered in mud since this could lead to corrosion.
