Top 5 Folding stroller Strollers

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for babies offering comfort and value throughout the precious first years. It's also a great investment that will last parents through multiple babies.

When deciding on the best stroller to buy take into consideration how easy it is to fold. Modern pushchairs fold in one pull, but the process differs between brands.

Easy to fold

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is the ideal pram for parents-to-be looking for a stroller that's easy-to-fold and put away. It features a one-hand fold that's extremely compact. It's also light and easy to fit in the boot of your car.

The one-hand fold mechanism of the stroller is made possible by a lever in the handle and a ring on the back of the stroller. To ensure a smooth one-hand fold, the handle and ring need to be perfectly timed. It is essential to fold most strollers prior to stepping through security. Always refer to the instruction manual included with your model to get more details. It is also possible to check large strollers by hand in some airports. If so, be sure to bring a carry bag to protect the stroller during travel pushchair.

Easy to store

The Nuna Baby Triv is a light, premium stroller that takes up less room but is as luxurious as larger models. It's not the smallest or lightest stroller on our list but it's simple to fold and maneuver, and it comes with many features that you would expect to find only in higher-end strollers.

It can also be transformed into an ideal travel system by adding an infant carrycot (which is suitable from the time of birth) or a baby's moses basket. This lets you utilize it for longer than other compact prams. Plus, it's smooth over most terrain and has lots of storage space.

The larger UPPAbaby prams are known for their large shopping baskets. However, with the G-Luxe, they've managed to fit that functionality into a very compact design. It can be difficult to fold due to the naughty handle/ring combo that needs to be precisely timed. It's still a great choice however, particularly because it's able to easily convert into a twin pushchair with the YOYO Connect seat.

Easy to maneuver

Silver Cross's pram may not be the lightest or smallest, but it is still very easy for parents to steer. It's ideal for families with growing children, as it can be used with toddlers and infants with a bassinet for newborns or a newborn pack and even comes with a board for older kids. It's also smooth over most terrain, and more durable than other compact prams. This high-end model is adored by A-list celebrities and has numerous features that are suitable for parents. It's a blast to drive and is even more maneuverable when you activate the front lock that swivels. It's incredibly simple to collapse.

Easy to clean

If you have a buggy that has been in a lot of use cleaning it up every now and again is essential. A pram that is dirty can harbor germs and it's also not suitable for your child. If you plan to use your pram again for future children or sell it, a well maintained stroller will look its best as long as is possible.

Most prams come with manuals that provide cleaning instructions, usually with specific instructions to wash and maintain various parts. If not have a manual, you can search online for suggestions.

The first step to cleaning a pram is to remove all fabric components (seat, canopy, baskets and so on) and wash them according to the instructions suggested by the manufacturer. Washing these objects in soapy and warm water is important as hot or cold water can harm the fabric. After washing, it is recommended to allow the fabric to dry completely before reattaching it, idealally in a sunny location.

It is essential to examine your pram on a regular basis for signs of wear and loose screws. This will stop the pushchair from being damaged or unstable and posing the risk of injury to your child. A quick inspection of the locking mechanisms, brakes and harness will ensure that they're secure and functioning properly. And it's a good idea to occasionally give your wheels and frame an occasional spray of lubricant to keep them running smoothly.

You should also consider investing in an infant liner or pram cover, which will add an additional layer to shield your stroller from spills and stains. They can be easily removed and cleaned, meaning your stroller will remain in top shape for a longer time. You can also update your stroller by purchasing a new set of seats, wheels, or sun canopy to refresh it and match it to your little one's outfit. It's also worth thinking about a touch-up paint pen for your pram to hide any scrapes or scratches on the frame, especially black prams, which can show dirt quite quickly.
