Buying a Foldable Pushchair

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

They have their name because of their collapse method, which is a lot like an umbrella. Some fold easily with just one hand, whereas others require two hands or more effort.

Easy to fold

The way that pushchairs fold is a crucial factor in buying one. It's not just about how easy they are to carry as well as how much space they take up when folded. The majority of brands create their folding mechanisms with different lifestyles in mind with some focusing on compactness whilst others focus on speed or user-friendliness. Find a pushchair with a concertina or scissor fold if you want a pushchair which is easy to fold. They are able to fold flat and are perfect for those who plan on using public transportation or traveling with your child.

These types of pushchairs typically include a seat with a view of both the parent and Baby accessories child (for bonding, reassurance, and to allow them to explore the world around them). These pushchairs are suitable for babies at a young age of 6 months. Some of them feature a comfortable reclining position (though not as flat as infant car seats) and are compatible accessories like buggie bags or seat liners. They also come with a fitted moses baskets/pram sheets.

Apart from the ease of folding there are other aspects that you should consider when selecting a buggy, such as whether the fabric is machine washable, and whether it comes with wheels that can be released quickly. Quick-release wheels are important as they permit you to easily clean any dirt or sand.

Some pushchairs fold in a scissor-like manner that is, the buggy is folded as a pair of scissors, and then folded into a rectangle shape. This type of pushchair could be the easiest to fold, as you only need to pull the handle, then close the seat. However, it can be difficult to store in tight spaces and is not suitable for use on public transport since it might not fit in smaller car boot spaces.

In addition to a scissor fold are also pushchairs that fold in three or more sections, such as a concertina. These pushchairs are the most compact when folded, however they can be difficult to carry and require two hands. They can also be tricky to store since they have a long rectangular shape when in a closed position. However, they are light and small enough to use as cabin luggage on flights. They are a great choice for families that travel.

Lightweight

The selection of pushchairs available is a lot and choosing the one that is right for you can be a challenge. The jargon can be confusing and the folding mechanisms are particularly difficult to grasp. The kind of folding you select can affect the ease with which you can move and store the pushchair.

Choosing a light pushchair can make a huge difference for those with a small storage space at home. There are a myriad of different kinds, ranging from compact umbrella folds down to multi-purpose travel systems that include car seat adapters and carrycots. Some of these can be utilized as early as birth with a baby carrier, but it is important to know the specifications for models that are intended for use with infants.

A pushchair that folds in the same way as an umbrella is a practical and simple option. It takes up a tiny space. These types of pushchairs derive their name because of the fact they fold down similarly to an umbrella, which allows them to fit perfectly lengthways into a variety of storage or vehicle boot space. These pushchairs are usually very light and most models include a rain cover to protect your child.

A concertina-style pushchair is a different option that folds in three or more sections with the frame and seat overlapping each other and then collapsing in on itself. They are typically the most compact and easy to store, but they require two hands to open and close.

Many pushchairs will come with a footmuff, a reversible (and washable) seat liner, a carry strap and a secure pouch on the hood to keep your children warm, dry and comfortable during colder weather. Some brands include these items as part of a set, while others sell them as separate items.

Always check whether the fabric used for the pushchair is machine washable, as this will allow for quicker and easier cleaning. It is also important to make sure that the brakes are working properly and to clean any mud off the wheels using an hosepipe or pressure washer.

Easy to transport

You might choose an infant stroller that can be folded down into a compact shape in case you intend to use it on public transportation or even take it on a trip. This type of pushchair is also likely to be light to carry and easy to store in a trunk or in a car that is small.

A wide range of folding pushchairs are available for you to pick from, and the way they fold differs from one brand to the next. Some are designed to be fast and easy to use while others are more compact and fold with two hands or one hand. The Cybex Libelle is a striking model because it doesn't only fold down, but in too, so the whole buggy becomes a neat square package smaller than a lot of hand luggage allowances, making it perfect for travelling.

There are two types of brakes for pushchairs: foot pedal brakes and handle brakes. Foot brakes are the most commonly used and work by pressing a single foot pedal which locks both rear wheels. This is a great option for parents who must stop or slow down frequently. Handle brakes can be found on three-wheeled pushchairs as well as jogger style strollers, they are more sensitive than foot brakes and can be used to alter the speed of a run, for instance. Combination brakes are often used on city pushchairs. They combine a foot pedal push chairs and prams an hand lever that triggers the other brake to give you maximum control.

Depending on your baby's age and size, you may want to choose a triple stroller that offers a lie-flat seat or is compatible with a travel system so you can attach an infant carrycot. Some pushchairs fold very quickly leaving the carrycot on the frame. You can also use a light carrycot that can be pulled flat onto chassis.

It's worth looking up the airline's website to make sure the dimensions and weight of the pushchair are within the baggage allowance for carry-on bags. It's also important to check whether the pushchair will fit through a standard doorway, and that it is able to be lifted up and down the stairs of an airport. You should take a raincover with you if you plan to use your stroller during a holiday to protect it from rain and puddles.

Easy to store

Foldable pushchairs are a great option for parents who frequently travel. They fold easily, and they take up very little space in the boot of your car. They're also great for public transport or for holidays. Certain models can be used with a car seat.

Some models are so compact that they fold flat. They're ideal if you don't have much storage space at home, or in your car boot, however they can be heavier to carry than buggies with larger capacities.

Alternatively, there are some pushchairs that fold in three or more sections, also known as concertina, 3D or fold-in-half styles. They are less cumbersome to carry however, they require both hands to unfold and fold. They can be quite large when folded, making them ideal for smaller vehicles.

Other models come with scissor-style folds in which the seat back folds towards the front of the buggy, and the entire frame is collapsed into a square-ish, flat shape. These are quick and easy to fold, and are suitable for use in public transport. However, the long rectangular shape they create may not fit in small car boot dimensions.

Many pushchairs come with a sun canopy typically made of SPF fabric to help protect your baby from sun. Some brands include this in the price, whereas others offer it as an accessory. The most effective options come with a removable hood, so you can wash them as needed. Consider a footmuff too, as they are ideal for colder temperatures and keep babies toasty.

Make sure you read the directions of the manufacturer prior to washing your pushchair. Certain fabrics are not machine washed. If there's mud on the wheels, try using the pressure washer or hose to rinse off the dirt. If this isn't working, try a mild sterilising fluid and dry the fabric on the outside. If you leave your pushchair in an unclean, wet or mouldy condition for too long the fabric may become damaged and mildewed. If this happens, you should first scrub off any mildew or mold using a soft bristled brush. Then wash and rinse the area as directed.
