Pushchair Easy Fold Review
A pushchair that is simple to fold will make the process of folding your buggy more simple. They’re usually assembled when they are taken out of the box, and can be folded down with a simple push of a button.
Some are suitable for babies and have a flat seat or the option of attaching a car seat for infants. These seats often fold in a concertina style.
Easy to fold
Many parents are concerned about the ease of folding a pushchair before deciding on one. A quick, easy folding is essential, regardless of whether you’re travelling or just going out for a day. Some models are truly one-handed at the touch of a button and may be folded in a matter of seconds. Some models require two hands and more effort, whereas others may require several steps to fully fold.
There are a myriad of different ways a pushchair can be folded. Certain pushchairs come with a z fold, where the top of the chassis folds over the frame in a natural, simple motion. This is often seen in the Babyzen YOYO stroller, which was among the first in its class and is still a favourite with parents around the world.
Others have a more traditional fold with the handle/ring system, which can be a bit difficult to master. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe requires precise timing to operate the mechanism. Once you get it however, it is easy to fold and store.
Some of these pushchairs can be used immediately, as they include an automobile seat or carrycot that is compatible. They can be more difficult to fold them than ones which don’t have this feature because you need to remove the carrycot or car seat prior to folding.

Easy to transport
