Top 5 Folding Strollers
Strollers are essential equipment for babies that offer comfort and value in the first years of a child. It's an investment that will last for many years and multiple children.
When you are deciding which stroller for your child, you should consider the ease with which it can fold. Modern pushchairs fold in one pull, but the method varies from brand to brand.
Easy to fold
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is the ideal pram for parents-to-be looking for a stroller that is easy to fold and store. This pushchair newborn has a compact one-hand folding pram system. It is also lightweight and can easily fit into the trunk of your car.
The stroller's one-hand folding mechanism is facilitated by a lever on the handle as well as an ring on the rear. To ensure a smooth one-hand fold, the handle and ring need to be perfectly timed. Most strollers must be folded prior to stepping through security. Always read the directions included with your model to get more specifics. Be aware that you might need to check larger strollers by hand at certain airports. If so, make sure you have an extra bag to secure the stroller when traveling.
Easy to store
If you're looking to find a light pram that feels just as premium as bigger models but takes up less space you can try the Triv from Nuna Baby. It's not our lightest or smallest stroller, but it's easy to fold and move and comes with plenty of features that you would expect to only find in more expensive strollers.
It can also be converted into an ideal travel system by adding a carrycot (which is suitable from birth) or a baby's moses' basket. This lets you make use of it for longer periods than other compact prams. Additionally, it's smooth over most terrain and has lots of storage space.
UPPAbaby's larger prams have always been known for their huge shopping baskets. However, with the G-Luxe, they've managed combine all of this functionality into a compact design. It's a challenge to fold due to the finicky handle/ring combination that has to be timed perfectly. It's still a great choice, though, especially because it can easily expand to a twin pushchair by using the YOYO Connect seat.
Easy to manoeuvre
Silver Cross's pram is not the lightest or the smallest, but it is still surprisingly easy for a parent to steer. It's great for growing families since it can be used from birth to toddler, with baby's bassinet, a pack or a car seat, and even comes with a buggy board for older children. It is also more robust and sluggish on most terrains than other smaller compact prams. This premium pram is loved by A-list celebrities and has numerous features that are suitable for parents. It's a joy to drive and is especially manoeuvrable when you activate the front swivel lock wheels. It's also incredibly easy to fold.
Easy to clean
A thorough clean is essential when your buggy has been used a lot. A dirty pram can harbour germs and it's also not suitable for your infant. If you're thinking of using your stroller for more children or selling it in the future, a clean stroller will keep it looking its best for as long as it is possible.
Most prams come with the manual that includes cleaning instructions. This will often contain specific instructions on how to clean and maintain various components. If yours doesn't then you should look online for recommendations.
The first step to cleaning a pram is usually to remove all fabric elements (seat and canopy, baskets, and so on) and wash them as directed by the manufacturer. It is important to wash these items with warm soapy water, as hot or cold water could harm the fabric. After washing, it is recommended to let the fabric dry fully before reattaching, ideally in a bright sunny spot.
It is important to inspect your pram regularly for signs of wear and loose screws. This will help prevent the pushchair from becoming damaged or unstable which could pose a threat to your child's safety. Check the brakes, locking mechanisms, and harness to make sure they are in good working order. It's also a good idea to give your wheels and frames an oil spray to ensure they're running smoothly.
You should also consider investing in a liner or cover for your pram that will provide an additional layer to shield your stroller from spills and stains. They can be easily cleaned and removed to ensure that your stroller remains in great condition for longer. You can also upgrade your stroller with new seats, wheels or sun canopy to refresh it and match it with your little one's outfit. You can also use a touch-up pen to cover any scratches or scrapes on the frame of your pram and travel system, especially prams that are black, which show dirt very quickly.
