Buying a Foldable double pushchair

A foldable stroller is perfect for trips that are short or during holidays. They are typically lightweight and suitable for infants from four years old and up. They also have wheels that are large enough and a sturdy basket.

They get their name from their collapse method, which is a lot like an umbrella. Some have one-handed folding that's easy and others require a bit of involvement or two hands.

Easy to fold

The way in which pushchairs fold is the most important aspect when buying one. It's not just about how they are easy to carry and fold, but also the amount of space they take up when folded. Most brands design their folding mechanisms with different lifestyles in mind and some focus on compactness while others focus on speed or user-friendliness. Find a pushchair with a concertina or scissor fold if you are looking for an easy pushchair to fold. These are known for being capable of folding flat, and are ideal for those who plan to use public transportation or traveling with your child.

These types of pushchairs often include a seat with a view of both the parent and the child (for bonding, reassurance, and to let them explore the world around them). They are typically suitable for babies as young as 6 months. Some have a decent reclining position (though not flat like an infant car seat) and are compatible accessories such as buggie bag or seat liners. They also come with a fitted moses baskets/pram and car seat sheets.

It is also important to consider other aspects when selecting a buggy, such as the fabric and if it can be washed in the machine. Quick-release wheels are crucial as they permit you to easily remove any mud or sand.

Some pushchairs have a scissor fold, which is the place where the entire buggy collapses in half like scissors and then swells into a long rectangular shape. This type of pushchair can be the most simple to unfold because you just have to lift the handle and then close the seat. However, it is difficult to store in small spaces and is not suitable for public transport as it may not fit in smaller car boot spaces.

There are also pushchairs, for instance concertina, that fold in three or more sections. These pushchairs tend to be the most compact when folded, but they can be a challenge to carry and require two hands. They can also be difficult to store because they are rectangular in shape when in a closed position. However, they are lightweight and small enough to be used as cabin baggage on flights. They are a great choice for families traveling together.

Lightweight

Choosing the right pushchair for you can be difficult. The jargon and folding mechanisms can be confusing. The kind of folding you select will affect how easy it is to transport and store the pushchair twin.

A compact pushchair is a great option for those who have limited storage space. There are a variety of pushchairs available, from compact umbrella-folds to multifunctional systems that come with carrycots and adapters for car seats. Some of these can be used as early as the time of birth with a baby carrier, but it is important to verify the specifications of models that are intended to be used with newborns.

A pushchair that folds in the same way as an umbrella is a convenient and simple option. It takes up little space. The name of these pushchairs comes from the fact that they fold similarly to an umbrella. This allows them to fit easily into most storage spaces and boot spaces. They are often incredibly lightweight, and a majority of models come with an umbrella cover to shield your child from the elements.

Concertina-style pushchairs are another option. They fold in three or more sections, with the frame and the seat overlapping and then collapsing onto them. They are typically the most compact and easy to store, but they do require both hands to open and close.

Many pushchairs will have a footmuff, a reversible (and washable) seat liner, a carry strap and a secure pouch attached to the hood to keep your children dry, warm and comfortable in colder temperatures. Some brands include these items as part of a bundle, whereas others sell them separately.

Always check if the pushchair fabrics are machine washable, as this will allow for faster and more efficient cleaning. It is also important to check that the brakes work correctly and to clean any mud off the wheels with an hosepipe or pressure washer.

Easy to transport

You may want to consider an infant stroller that can be folded into a compact travel pram shape in case you intend to use it on public transport or take it on holiday. This kind of pushchair is also likely to be light to lift and easy to store in a trunk or small car.

A wide range of folding pushchairs is available to pick from, and the way they fold differs from brand to brand. Some are designed for speed and convenience and others are smaller and fold with two hands or even just one hand. The Cybex Libelle is a good example, since it is not just able to fold down, but also inwards. This makes the buggy an attractive square bag that fits in many hand luggage compartments.

There are two kinds of brakes for pushchairs that are foot pedal brakes and handle brakes. Foot brakes are the most commonly used and work by pushing on one foot pedal that locks both rear wheels. This is a great option for parents who need to stop or slow down often. Hand brakes are available on jogger-style strollers, as well as three-wheeled joggers. They are more sensitive than the foot brakes and can be used to alter the pace of the course of a run. City prams pushchairs usually feature combination brakes, which combine a foot brake and an lever that triggers the brake opposite to give you maximum control.

Based on the age of your baby, you may wish to look for a pushchair with a lying-flat seat or is compatible with a travel system which means you can connect a carrycot. Some pushchairs fold very quickly and leave the carrycot on the frame. You can also use a lightweight carrycot that is folded flat on the chassis.

If you're considering traveling with your child in a pushchair, you should consider checking the airline's website to ensure the dimensions and weight are within their carry-on baggage allowance. Make sure that the pushchair will fit through an airport standard doorway, and that it can be lifted and lowered over the stairs. You should take a raincover when you plan to take your stroller on holiday to protect it from rain and puddles.

Easy to store

The foldable pushchair is a great choice for parents who are often moving around. They're designed to be simple to fold and fit into a tiny space in your car boot. They're also great to take on public transport or for holidays. Some models are even suitable for use with a car seat.

Some models are so compact that they fold flat. They're great for those who don't have a lot of storage space at home, or in your car boot, but they could be more heavy to carry than a larger buggies.

Additionally, there are pushchairs that fold into three or more sections, known as concertina 3D, fold-in-half or fold-in-half designs. These are less cumbersome to carry, but they require two hands to fold and unfold. They can also be quite long when folded, so aren't ideal for cars with smaller trunks.

Other models have scissor-style folding, where the seat back folds towards the front of the buggy, and the whole frame collapses into a square-ish, flat shape. These are quick and easy to fold, and are also suitable for public transportation. However the rectangular shape they create may not fit in small car boot dimensions.

Many pushchairs have a sun canopy. They are typically constructed of SPF fabric, which protects your baby from sun. Some brands include it in their price, while others sell it separately. The best options include an adjustable hood, which means you can wash them if you need to. Make sure you have a footmuff too, as they are perfect for colder weather and can keep your baby warm.

Most pushchairs can be wiped down with a damp cloth, but certain fabrics aren't machine washable, so check the manufacturer's instructions. If you notice mud on the wheels, you can try using the pressure washer or hose to clean the dirt. If this fails then you can try an unscented sterilising solution and dry the fabric outside. If your pushchair is left in a damp, wet or mouldy state for too long, it can cause damage to the fabric and cause mildew and rot. If this happens, you should first scrub off any mildew or mold using a soft bristled brush. Then wash and rinse as directed.
