Pushchair Easy Fold Review

A pushchair that folds easily is designed to take the stress of folding your buggy. They usually are delivered fully assembled, collapse with the touch of a button and slide perfectly into their carry bags.

Some are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat seat or the option of affixed an infant car seat. These seats often fold together in a concertina-style.

Easy to fold

When selecting a pushchair one of the most important factors for many parents is how easy it is to fold. A quick, easy folding is crucial, regardless of whether you're traveling or just out for a day. Some models can be folded in seconds with the push of a button. Others require more effort and two hands, or take several steps before being fully folded.

There are a variety of ways to fold a pushchair. Some models have a z-fold, that is where the top part of the chassis folds over the frame with an effortless, natural motion. This is typically seen in the Babyzen YoYO, which was one of the first of this kind of stroller, and is loved by parents all over the world.

Certain models feature an older-style folding mechanism with a handle/ring, which isn't easy to master. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe, for instance, requires careful timing to be able to operate the mechanism, but once you've got it, it's simple to collapse and stow.

Some of these pushchairs are designed to be used from birth, and include a carrycot or travel system compatible car seat so that you can use them right from the beginning. This makes them a bit more difficult to collapse than other pushchairs, as you'll need to remove the car seat or carrycot before folding them. These are still simpler to fold than a full size pushchair that doesn't have this feature.

Easy to transport
