Easy to fold

The way in which pushchairs fold can be an important factor when you are buying one. It's not just about how easy they are to carry and fold, but also the amount of space they take up when folded. Some brands focus on compactness, while others are more focused on speed or ease of usage. If you're looking to purchase a pushchair that is easy to fold choose one with a scissor or concertina type of fold. These are known for their ability to fold flat, and are great when you are planning to use public transportation or traveling with your child.

These types of pushchairs typically feature a seat that faces both the parent and the child (for bonding, reassurance, and to allow them to explore the world around them). These pushchairs are suitable for babies at a young age of 6 months. Some of them feature a decent recline position (though not flat like an infant car seats) and can be used with other accessories such as buggie bag or seat liners. They also come with a fitted moses basket/pram sheet.

It is important to take into consideration other factors when choosing the right buggy, including the fabric and whether it is machine washable. Quick-release wheels are crucial because they let you easily clean any mud or sand.

Some pushchairs fold in a scissor-like manner that is, the buggy folds like a pair of scissors, and then folded into a rectangle. This kind of pushchair may be the easiest to fold, as you only have to lift the handle, then close the seat. However, it is difficult to store in tight spaces and isn't suitable for public transport since it might not fit in smaller car booties.

There are also pushchairs, such as concertina that fold into three or more sections. These pushchairs are the most compact when folded, but they can be difficult to handle and require two arms. When folded they can be difficult to keep in storage due to their long rectangular shape. They are however, lightweight and often small enough to be used as cabin baggage on flights and make a great option for families that travel.

Lightweight

Finding the right pushchair with car seat for you can be a challenge. The terminology and folding mechanisms can be confusing. The type of folding you select will determine the ease of transport and store the pushchair.

A compact pushchair is a great option for those with little storage space. There are a myriad of types of pushchairs available, from compact umbrella-folds to multifunctional systems that come with carrycots and adapters to car seats. Some of them can be used from birth with a newborn carrycot, although it is essential to check the specifications for lying flat of any model that is designed to be used with a newborn.

An umbrella-fold pushchair is an easy and practical option that occupies little room. They are named for the fact they fold in a similar manner as an umbrella. This allows them to fit easily into most storage spaces and boot spaces. They are typically light and many models come with a raincover to safeguard your child.

A concertina-styled pushchair is an alternative option that folds in three or more parts, with the frame and seat over each other and then collapsing into itself. They are typically the most compact and easy to store, however they require two hands to open and close.

Many pushchairs will come with a footmuff, a reversible (and washable) seat liner with a carry strap, and a secure pouch attached to the hood that will help keep your children warm, dry and comfortable in colder temperatures. Some brands include these as part of a bundle, whereas others sell them separately.

Always check whether the fabric used for the pushchair is machine washable. This allows for faster and easier cleaning. It is also important to check that the brakes are working properly and to clean any mud that has accumulated on the wheels using a hosepipe or pressure washer.

There are many different brands of folding pushchairs, and the way that they fold may differ. Some are designed for speed and convenience and others are smaller and fold with two hands or even just one hand. The Cybex Libelle is an eye-catching model because it doesn't only fold down, but it folds in, and the entire buggy transforms into a neat square package smaller than most hand luggage allowances making it ideal for travel.

The choice of brakes for pushchairs is a different factor to consider - there are foot pedal brakes, handle brakes or a combination of both. Foot brakes are the most commonly used and operate by pressing a single foot pedal which locks both rear wheels. This is an excellent option for parents who need to stop or slow down often. Handle brakes can be found on three-wheeled pushchairs as well as jogger style strollers. They are more sensitive than foot brakes and can be used to alter the speed of a run, for example. City pushchairs usually come with combination brakes that combine a foot brake with an lever that triggers the opposite brake for maximum control.

You may want to select a pushchair with a lie-flat feature or one that is compatible with a travel system so you can put the carrycot on it. Some pushchairs fold quickly leaving the carrycot on the frame. You can also opt for a lightweight carrycot that is folded flat on the chassis.

It's a good idea to check the website of the airline to ensure that the dimensions and weight of the pushchair fall within the allowance for carry-on baggage. Verify that the stroller can fit through an airport standard doorway, and that it can be lifted up and down stairs. If you plan to take your pushchair on holiday it's a good idea to bring a rain cover with you to protect it from showers and puddles.

Some pushchairs fold in three or four sections. These are known as concertina, fold in half, or 3D styles. They are less cumbersome to carry, but they require both hands to fold and unfold. They can also be quite large when folded, making them suitable for cars with smaller dimensions.

Other models fold in a scissor fashion, where the seatback folds towards the front of the buggy, and the frame is collapsed into a flat, square-ish shape.

Make sure you read the directions of the manufacturer prior to washing your pushchair. Some fabrics cannot be machine washed. If there's a lot of mud on the wheels, try using a hose or pressure washer to rinse off the dirt. If this isn't working, try a mild sterilising liquid and dry the fabric outside. If your pushchair remains in a wet, damp or stale for too long, it may cause damage to the fabric and result in mildew and rot. If this happens, you should first scrub off any mildew or mould with a soft bristled brush. Then wash and rinse according to the instructions.
