Top 5 Folding Strollers

Strollers are a must-have baby item that can provide comfort and value during the priceless first few years of a child's life. It's a fantastic investment that will last many years and many children.

When choosing the best travel pram stroller, consider the ease of folding. Modern pushchairs fold with just one tug. However, the method varies from brand to brand.

Folding is easy

If you're expecting a child and are looking for a pram that's easy to fold and store take a look at the UPPAbaby G-Luxe. This pushchair boasts a one-hand fold that's extremely compact. It's also lightweight and easy to slip into the boot of your car.

Its one-hand fold is made possible by the lever in the handle and a ring at the back of the stroller. The handle and ring combination must be perfectly timed to allow for the smooth operation of one hand. The majority of strollers require you to fold them before going through security, so always check your particular model's instructions for more specific information about folding your stroller. You might also have to check large strollers at hand at some airports. If this is the case, it is recommended to take a carry-on bag with you to safeguard your stroller while traveling.

Easy to store

If you're looking to find a light pram that feels just like a premium model but is smaller in size, you could try the Triv from Nuna Baby. It's not the smallest or lightest pram on our list but it's simple to fold and move around and comes with numerous features that you'd think you'd only find in more expensive strollers.

It could also be converted into a travel system by adding the carrycot (which is suitable from birth) or a baby's moses basket. This allows you to make use of it for longer periods than other compact prams. Plus, it's smooth over most terrain and has lots of extra storage space.

The larger prams from UPPAbaby are known for their huge shopping baskets but, with the G-Luxe, they've managed to combine all of the functionality they need into a compact design. The only problem is that it can be difficult to fold due the delicate handle and ring combo that needs to be timed perfectly. It's a great option since it can easily be transformed into a twin stroller (click the next post) with the YOYO connect seat.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Despite not being the lightest or tiniest pram, this model from Silver Cross is surprisingly easy to navigate. It's perfect for families growing because it can be used from infant to toddler, with the newborn bassinet, pack or car seat. It even has a buggy board for older children. It's also comfortable on most terrain, and far more durable than other compact prams. This pram is adored by A-list celebrities and has many features for parents. It's a joy to drive and is particularly manoeuvrable when you activate the front locking wheels that swivel. It's also extremely easy to fold.

Easy to clean

A thorough clean is essential when your buggy has been used a lot. After all, a dirty stroller can be a breeding ground for germs and can be ideal for your baby. If you plan to use your stroller again for your children in the future or sell it, a well maintained stroller will appear its best as long as possible.

Most prams have manuals that provide cleaning guidelines, often accompanied by specific instructions to wash and maintain various parts. If yours doesn't have a manual, you can check online for recommendations.

The first step in cleaning a pram is to take off all fabric components (seat baskets, canopy, etc.)) and wash them according to the instructions suggested by the manufacturer. It is essential to wash these items in warm soapy water, as cold or hot water can damage the material. After washing, it's advised to let the fabric dry completely before reattaching it, ideally in a bright sunny area.

It is essential to examine your pram on a regular basis for signs of wear and loose screws. This will stop the parent facing pushchair from becoming damaged or unstable, which could pose a safety risk for your child. A quick inspection of the brakes, locking mechanisms, and harness will ensure that they're secure and functioning properly. It's also a good idea to give your wheels and frames a light lubricant spray to keep them running smoothly.

It's also worth investing in an infant liner or cover that can provide an extra layer of protection from spills and stains. They can be easily cleaned and cleaned, so your stroller will stay in top condition for longer. You can also modernize your pram by adding new wheels, seat cushions or twin stroller sun canopy. This will make it appear more fashionable and complement your child's outfit. You can also make use of a touch-up pen to cover any scratches or scrapes on the frame of your pram, especially prams with black paint that show dirt very quickly.
