Top 5 Folding Strollers

A stroller is an essential piece of baby equipment that provides comfort and value during a child's precious first year. It is also an excellent investment that will last parents through multiple babies.

To choose the best stroller, take into account how easily it folds. Most modern pushchairs fold in only one pull. However, the process varies from brand to brand.

Easy to fold

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is the ideal stroller for parents who are looking for a stroller that is easy to fold and put away. It features a one-hand fold that's extremely compact. It's also light and can easily fit into the trunk of your car.

The stroller's one-hand folding mechanism is facilitated by an lever on the handle as well as an ring on the rear. To ensure a smooth one-hand fold, the handle and ring must be precisely timed. The majority of strollers require you to fold them before going through security, so always check your particular model's instructions for more specific instructions regarding folding your stroller. Be aware that you might need to check larger strollers by hand at some airports. If this is the case, you should take a carry-on bag with you to protect your stroller while traveling.

Easy to store

It's not the smallest or lightest stroller on our list but it's easy to fold and move around and comes with loads of features you might think you'd only find in more expensive strollers.

It can also be converted into a 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 for sale. It's also smooth on the majority of terrain and comes with plenty of extra storage space.

UPPAbaby's larger prams have always been known for their massive shopping baskets, but with the G-Luxe, they've managed incorporate this functionality into a compact design. It's a challenge to fold due to the tricky handle/ring combination that must be precisely timed. It's still a great choice, though, especially because it can easily convert into a twin pushchair with the YOYO Connect seat.

Easy to manoeuvre

It is a joy to drive, and gets even more maneuverable after you turn on the front swivel locks. It's extremely easy to collapse.

Easy to clean

A deep clean is necessary in the event that your buggy is used a lot. After all, a dirty stroller can be a breeding ground for germs and can be suitable for your infant. If you're thinking of using your stroller for more children or selling it later on, a clean stroller will be at its best for as long as is possible.

Most prams come with the manual that includes cleaning instructions. The manual will typically include specific directions on how to wash and maintain various components. If it doesn't provide such a guideline, you can look online for suggestions.

The first step to cleaning a pram is usually to remove all fabric components (seat, canopy, baskets and so on) and wash them as instructed by the manufacturer. Washing these items in soapy, warm water is essential since cold or hot water can damage the fabric. After washing, it is recommended to allow the fabric to dry completely before reattaching it, ideally in a bright sunny spot.

In addition to washing your hands, it's also an excellent idea to check your pushchair regularly for signs of wear or loose screws. This will stop the triple pushchair from becoming damaged or unstable, which could pose the risk of injury to your child. A quick inspection of the locking mechanisms, brakes and harness will ensure they're well-maintained and in good working order. It's also a good idea, to give your frames and wheels an oil spray to keep them running smoothly.

It is also worth purchasing a liner or cover for your pram which can be an additional layer of protection to your stroller from stains and spills. They can be easily removed and cleaned and will ensure that your stroller is in top condition for longer. You can also update your pram by adding new seats, wheels or sun canopy. This makes it appear more fashionable and complement your child's outfit. It's also worth thinking about using a touch-up pen for your pram to cover up any scratches or scrapes on the frame, especially prams with black paint, which can show dirt very quickly.
