Buying a Foldable Pushchair

A foldable stroller is perfect for short trips or on holidays. They are light and suitable for infants even as young as 4 years old. They also have wheels that are large enough and a sturdy basket.

Their name is derived from the way that they fold. It's akin to an umbrella. Some fold easily with one hand, while others need two hands or more effort.

Easy to fold

The way that pushchairs fold can be a significant factor when purchasing one. It's not just about how they are easy to carry and fold, but also the amount of space they take up when folded. Most manufacturers design their folding mechanisms with different lifestyles in mind and some focus on compactness whilst others focus on speed or ease of use. Look for a pushchair with the scissor or concertina fold if you want an easy pushchair to fold. These are renowned for their ability to fold flat and are ideal for those who plan to use public transport or travelling with your child.

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

You should also consider other factors when choosing the buggy you want to use, such as the fabric and if it is machine washable. The wheels that are quick-release are particularly important because it allows you can easily wash off any dried or wet mud.

Some pushchairs come with the scissor fold. This is when the whole buggy collapses in half like scissors and then swells into a long rectangular shape. This type of pushchair is typically the simplest to unfold since it is just a matter of lifting the handles upwards and then close the seat back. However, it can be difficult to store in small spaces and isn't suitable for public transport because it may not fit in smaller car boot spaces.

There are also pushchairs, like concertina, that fold in three or more sections. These pushchairs are the smallest when folded, however they can be a challenge to carry and require two hands. When folded they can be difficult to keep in storage due to their long rectangular shape. They are, however, light and are often small enough to be used as baggage for flights and make a great option for families that travel.

Lightweight

Finding the perfect pushchair for you can be difficult. The jargon can be confusing, and folding mechanisms are particularly difficult to grasp. The type of fold you choose can influence how easy the pushchair is able to be moved and stored.

A compact pushchair is a great option for those with little storage space. There are a myriad of different models, ranging from compact umbrella folds to multi-functional travel systems with carrycots and car seat adapters. Some of them can be used as early as birth with a newborn carrier, however, it is essential to verify the specifications of models that are intended for use with infants.

A pushchair that folds in the same way as an umbrella is a convenient and easy choice. It occupies a small space. They are named for the fact that they fold in a similar way to an umbrella. This allows them to be easily inserted into storage spaces and vehicle boot spaces. They are typically lightweight and include a rain cover to protect your child.

Concertina-style pushchairs are a different option. They fold into three or more sections, with the frame and the seat overlapping and then collapsing into the frame. They are the most compact and convenient to store. They require two hands to open and close.

A majority of pushchairs come with a footmuff, a reversible (and washable) seat liner with a carry strap, and a secure pouch attached to the hood to keep your children dry, warm and comfortable during colder weather. Some brands offer these in a bundle, while others sell them individually.

Verify that the fabric of the pushchair can be washed using a machine. This will make cleaning easier and faster. In addition to this it is essential to check regularly if the brakes are working correctly and if there is any dirt on the wheels, remove it with the help of a pressure washer or hosepipe.

Easy to transport

If you plan to take your pushchair with when you travel or if you take it on a regular basis for public transport, you might prefer one that folds easily into a compact size. This kind of pushchair will also usually be light to carry and easy to store in a car boot or in a car that is small.

There are many brands of folding pushchairs, and the way they fold can differ. Some are focused on speed and ease of use, while others offer a smaller or a one-handed fold. The Cybex Libelle is a good example, since it doesn't just fold down, but also inwards. This makes the buggy an attractive square package that can fit into a variety of hand luggage compartments.

The selection of pushchair brakes is another thing to think about - there are foot pedal brakes, hand brakes or a mixture of both. The most popular brakes are the foot brakes, which work by pressing a single pedal to stop both rear wheels. This is a great choice for parents who need to stop or slow down frequently. Handle brakes can be found on jogger-style strollers, as well as three-wheeled joggers. They are more sensitive than foot brakes, and they can be used to alter the pace of an exercise. City pushchairs often come with combination brakes that combine a foot brake with an lever that triggers the brake opposite to give you maximum control.

Depending on your baby's age, you may wish to look for a pushchair with a lying-flat seat or is compatible with a travel system so you can attach an infant carrycot. Some of these pushchairs fold quickly and leave the carrycot on the frame. You can also choose a light carrycot that can be placed flat on the chassis.

It's a good idea to check the airline's website to make sure that the dimensions and weight of the pushchair fall within the allowance for carry-on baggage. Check that the pushchair can fit through a standard airport doorway, and can be lifted up and down stairs. You should bring raincovers with you if you intend to take your cheap stroller on holiday to protect it from rain and puddles.

Easy to store

The foldable pushchair is an excellent choice for parents who are frequently on the move. They fold easily and take up very little space in the boot of your car. They're also great to take on public transport and for taking on holidays. Certain models can be used with a car seat.

Some models are so compact that they fold flat. They are great when you have limited space in your car or home boot. However they are heavier than buggies with larger wheels.

There are also pushchairs that fold into three or more sections, known as concertina 3D, fold-in-half or fold-in-half designs. They are less cumbersome to carry, but they require both hands to unfold and fold. They are also quite long when folded, so aren't suitable for cars with smaller dimensions.

Other models have scissor-style folding in which the seat back folds toward the front of the buggy and the frame collapses into a square-ish, flat shape. They are easy and quick to fold and are also suitable for public transportation. However, the long rectangular shape they produce may not fit into the small car boot dimensions.

Many pushchairs come with a sun canopy, typically made of SPF fabric, which helps protect your baby from sun. Some brands include this feature in the price, while other brands offer it as an extra. The best options come with a removable hood, so you can wash them as you need to. Also look for a footmuff that will keep your baby warm in colder temperatures.

Be sure to read the instructions of the manufacturer before washing your pushchair. Some fabrics cannot be machine washed. If there's mud on the wheels, you can try using a hose or pressure washer to wash off the dirt. If this isn't successful then you can use an sterilising fluid that is mild and dry the fabric outdoors. If you leave your pushchair in an unclean and wet condition or in a mouldy state for too long, the fabric may be damaged and mildewed. If this happens, first clean off any mildew or mold using a soft bristled brush. Then wash and rinse according to the instructions.
