Top 5 Folding Strollers

A stroller is an essential piece of baby equipment offering comfort and value throughout a child's priceless first years. It's also a great investment that will last through multiple babies.

To choose the best travel stroller stroller, think about how easily it folds. Most modern pushchairs fold with only one pull. However, the process differs from brand to brand.

Folding is simple

If you're a parent-to-be who's looking for a pushchair that's easy to fold and put away then look no further than the UPPAbaby G-Luxe. The G-Luxe is a compact stroller (just click bookmarkspecial.com) with a one-hand folding mechanism. It's also lightweight and easy to slip in the boot of your car.

The stroller's one-hand folding mechanism can be controlled by a lever on the handle and an additional ring in the rear. The handle and ring must be precisely timed to ensure a smooth, one-hand operation. The majority of strollers require that you fold them before going through security, so go through the specific instructions of your model for more specific instructions regarding folding your stroller. It is also possible to check large strollers at hand at certain airports. If so, make sure to bring a carry bag to secure the stroller during travel.

Easy to store

If you're looking to find a light stroller that feels like a premium model but takes up less space you can try the Triv from Nuna Baby. It's not our lightest or smallest stroller, but it is easy to fold and move and comes with a lot of features that you would expect to only be found in higher-end strollers.

It's also designed to accommodate a bespoke carrycot (which can be used from birth) or baby's moses basket, which means you can transform it into a travel system and use it for longer than the other smaller prams can allow. It's also comfortable on most terrains and has a lot of storage space.

The larger prams from UPPAbaby have always been known for their massive 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 finicky handle/ring combination that must be timed perfectly. It's still a great option, though, especially because it's able to easily expand to a twin pushchair by using the YOYO Connect seat.

Easy to maneuver

Despite not being the heaviest or tiniest pram, this model from Silver Cross is surprisingly easy to navigate. It's perfect for families growing as it can be used from infant to toddler using the newborn bassinet, a pack or a car seat pram seat and even has buggy boards for older children. It is also more robust and sluggish on most terrains than many smaller prams. This pram is adored by celebrities of the A-list and comes with numerous features that are suitable for parents. It is a joy to drive, and becomes even more manoeuvrable once you turn on the front swivel locks. It's extremely easy to collapse.

Easy to clean

A thorough clean is essential when your buggy has been used a lot. In the end, a dirty pram can harbour germs and can be ideal for your baby. And if you're planning on using your stroller for more children or selling it in the future, a clean stroller will be at its best travel stroller for as long as it is possible.

Most prams have a manual which includes cleaning instructions. It will usually contain specific instructions on how to clean and maintain various components. If it doesn't, it's worth checking online for suggestions.

To clean a pram, take off all fabric parts (seats, canopies, baskets and so on.) and wash as directed by the manufacture. It is important to wash these items in warm soapy water, since hot or cold water could harm the fabric. After washing, it's advised to let the fabric dry completely before reattaching it preferring a sunny location.

Apart from washing the pram, it's an excellent idea to check your pram regularly for any signs of wear or loose screws. This will stop the pram from being damaged or unstable, that could pose a danger to your child's safety. A quick inspection of the locking mechanisms, brakes and harness will ensure that they're well-maintained and in good working order. It's also a good idea to occasionally give your wheels and frame an oily spray to ensure they're running smoothly.

It's also worth investing in a pram and car seat liner or cover that will give you an extra layer of protection against spills and staining. They can be easily cleaned and cleaned, meaning your stroller will stay in top condition for longer. You can also jazz up your stroller by purchasing a new set of seats, wheels, or sun canopy to freshen it up and match it to your child's outfit. It's also worth considering using a touch-up pen for your pram for newborn to cover any scrapes or scratches on the frame, particularly black prams, which can show dirt quite quickly.
