Top 5 Folding Strollers

Strollers are essential baby equipment that can provide comfort and value in the early years of a baby's life. It's also a great investment that will last through many babies.

When you are deciding which stroller for your child take into consideration the ease with which it can fold. The majority of modern pushchairs can be folded in one pull, but the process differs between brands.

Folding is easy

If you're a mom-to-be looking for a pram that's easy to fold and store then look no further than the UPPAbaby G-Luxe. It's a compact pushchair with a one-hand folding system. It's also lightweight and a cinch to fit in the boot of your car.

The stroller's one-hand folding mechanism is facilitated by the lever on the handle and a ring at the rear. To ensure an effortless one-hand fold, the handle and ring have to be perfectly timed. It is essential to fold most strollers before passing through security. Always refer to the instruction manual that come with your model for more specifics. Remember that you may have to check larger strollers by hand at some airports. If so, be sure you have bags to protect the stroller during travel.

Easy to store

The Nuna Baby Triv is a light, premium stroller that takes up less room but is as luxurious as more expensive models. It's not the most compact or lightest stroller on our list but it's a breeze to fold and manoeuvre, and it comes with numerous features that you'd expect to only find in higher-end strollers.

It can also be converted into an ideal travel system by adding an infant carrycot (which is suitable from birth) or a Baby Accessories's moses' basket. This lets you use it longer than most other prams that are compact. Plus, it's smooth over all terrains and has plenty of extra storage space.

The larger UPPAbaby prams have always been renowned for their massive shopping baskets but, with the G-Luxe, they've managed fit the functionality they need into a compact design. The only problem is that it can be difficult to fold due to the finicky handle/ring combo that needs to be precisely timed. It's still a great choice, though, especially because it can easily expand to a twin double pushchair by using the YOYO Connect seat.

Easy to maneuver

Silver Cross's pram is not the lightest or the smallest but it's very easy for parents to steer. It's perfect for families growing as it can be used from newborn to toddler using baby pram's bassinet, a pack or a car seat and even has buggy boards for older children. It's also a smooth ride over the majority of terrain, and more robust than many lighter compact travel pram prams. Popular with celebrities, this is a premium pram with lots of parent-friendly features. It's a blast to drive, and it becomes even more manoeuvrable once you turn on the front locking swivel. It's extremely easy to collapse.

Easy to clean

A thorough cleaning is required in the event that your buggy is frequented. After all, a pram that is dirty can harbor germs, and isn't suitable for your child. If you intend 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 come with manuals that provide cleaning guidelines, often accompanied by specific directions for washing and maintenance of different components. If yours does not have a manual, you can search online for suggestions.

The first step to cleaning a pram is usually to take off all fabric components (seat and canopy, baskets, etc.)) and wash them according to the instructions directed by the manufacturer. Washing these items in warm, soapy water is important because cold or hot water can damage the fabric. It's important to let the fabric fully dry before attaching it again.

Aside from washing your hands, it's also a good idea to check your pushchair with car seat regularly for signs of wear or loose screws. This will stop the pram from being damaged or unstable, which could pose a risk to your child's safety. A quick inspection of the brakes, locking mechanisms, and harnesses will ensure that they're tight and in working order. And it's an excellent idea to regularly give your frame and wheels an oily spray to ensure they're operating smoothly.

You should also think about purchasing a pram cover or liner which can be an additional layer to shield your stroller from spills and stains. They can be easily removed and cleaned, so your stroller will be in top shape for a longer time. You can also update your pram by adding new seats, wheels or sun canopy. This will make it look more stylish and match your child's outfit. It's also worth thinking about a touch-up paint pen for your pram to cover any scratches or scrapes on the frame, especially black prams, which can reveal dirt very quickly.
