Top 5 Folding Pram Strollers

Strollers are essential baby equipment that offer comfort and value in the early years of a baby's life. It is a great investment that will last for many years and many children.

When choosing the best toddler stroller for your child take into consideration how easy it is to fold. Modern pushchairs fold by a single tug, however the process differs between brands.

Folding is simple

The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is the perfect pram for parents-to-be who want a stroller that's easy-to-fold and store. This pushchair has a compact one-hand folding mechanism. It is also lightweight and easily fits into the trunk of your car.

The stroller's one-hand folding stroller mechanism is enabled by a lever on the handle as well as an additional ring in the rear. The handle and ring must be precisely timed to allow for an effortless, one-handed operation. Most strollers require that you fold them before going through security. Always go through the specific instructions of your model for more specific information about folding your stroller. Also, remember that you might need to hand-check larger strollers at some airports. If so, be sure to pack a carry bag to secure the stroller when traveling.

Easy to store

If you're looking for a light stroller that feels as luxurious as larger models but is smaller in size you can try the Triv from Nuna Baby. It's not the smallest or lightest stroller on our list, but it's a breeze to fold and move around and has loads of features you might expect to find only in more expensive strollers.

It's also designed to take a bespoke carrycot (which can be used from birth) or a baby's moses bag that allows you to turn it into an e-travel system and use it for longer than the other smaller prams will allow. It's also a breeze on all terrains and comes with plenty of storage space.

The larger UPPAbaby prams are known for their massive shopping baskets, but with the G-Luxe they've managed to incorporate that functionality into a very compact design. The only issue is that it can be difficult to fold due the delicate handle and ring combo that needs to be timed perfectly. It's still a great choice but, in particular, because it's easily able to transform to a twin pushchair by using the YOYO Connect seat.

Easy to maneuver

Silver Cross's pram is not the lightest or smallest however it is very easy for parents to steer. It is perfect for growing families, as it can be used with newborns to toddlers with a bassinet for newborns or a newborn pack and even comes with a board for older kids. It is also more robust and smoother on all terrains than smaller, compact prams. This pram is adored by A-list celebrities and has many features for parents. It's a pleasure to drive and is particularly maneuverable when you turn on the front lock wheels that swivel. It's also very easy to fold.

Easy to clean

A deep clean is necessary when your baby's buggy has been used a lot. A dirty stroller can be a breeding ground for germs, and isn't ideal for your baby. And if you're planning on using your pram for more children or selling it later on, a well-maintained stroller will look its best for as long as is possible.

Most prams will have an instruction manual that gives cleaning guidelines, often accompanied by specific directions to wash and maintain various parts. If it doesn't, it's worth checking online for suggestions.

The first step for cleaning a pram is to take off all fabric components (seat and canopy, baskets, and so on) and wash them as instructed by the manufacturer. Washing these items in soapy, warm water is important since cold or hot water can damage the fabric. It is important to allow the fabric to fully dry before attaching it again.

Apart from washing your hands, it's also a good idea to check your pushchair regularly for signs of wear or loose screws. This will help to prevent the pram from becoming damaged or unstable which could create a safety risk for your child. A quick check of the locking mechanisms, brakes and harnesses will ensure that they're well-maintained and in good working order. And it's recommended to periodically give your frame and wheels a light spray of lubricant to ensure they're running smoothly.

It's worth it to invest in a babiie pram liner or a cover, which will provide an extra layer of protection from spills and staining. They can be easily cleaned and removed and will ensure that your stroller stays in great condition for longer. You can also upgrade 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. You should also consider a touch-up paint pen for your pram to cover up any scratches or scrapes that may have occurred on the frame, particularly on black prams, which can show dirt quite quickly.
