8 Tips To Increase Your Folding Pram Game

Top 5 Folding Strollers

Strollers are a must-have baby item that offer comfort and value during the precious first years of a child. It's an investment that will last many years and multiple children.

To select the ideal stroller, think about how easily it folds. Modern pushchairs can be folded by a single tug, however the method varies from brand to brand.

Easy to fold

If you're a parent-to-be who's looking for a pram that's easy to fold and take down then look no further than the UPPAbaby G-Luxe. It features a one-hand fold that's extremely compact. It's also lightweight and easily fits into the boot of your vehicle.

Its one-hand fold mechanism is possible thanks to an lever on the handle and a ring on the back of the stroller. To ensure a smooth one-hand fold the handle and ring must be precisely timed. You must fold most strollers prior to entering security. Always check the instructions that come with your model to get more specifics. Also, remember that you may have to check larger strollers by hand at certain airports. If so, be sure to pack bags to protect the stroller while traveling.

Easy to store

The Nuna Baby Triv is a lightweight, premium pram that occupies less space but feels just as luxurious as more expensive models. It's not our tiniest or lightest stroller, but it is easy to fold and maneuver and comes with plenty of features that you'd expect to only find in more expensive strollers.

It can also be transformed into an ideal travel strollers system by adding a carrycot (which is suitable from the time of birth) or a baby's moses basket. This allows you to utilize it for longer than other compact prams. It's also smooth on most terrain and has lots of extra storage space.

UPPAbaby's larger prams are known for their large shopping baskets but, with the G-Luxe, they've managed incorporate the functionality they need into a compact design. It's a challenge to fold due to the naughty handle/ring combination that must be timed precisely. It's still a great choice, though, especially because it's easily able to transform into a twin pushchair with the YOYO Connect seat.

Easy to manoeuvre

Silver Cross's pram bag isn't the lightest or the smallest, but it is still very easy for parents to steer. It's perfect for families growing as it can be used from infant to toddler using a newborn bassinet, pack or car seat and even has buggy boards for older children. It's also more durable and smoother on all terrains than smaller, compact prams. This high-end model is adored by celebrities of the A-list and comes with many parent-friendly features. It's a dream to drive and is especially manoeuvrable when you activate the front locking wheels that swivel. It's incredibly simple to collapse.

Easy to clean

A deep clean is necessary in the event that your buggy is frequented. A dirty pram can harbour germs and it's also not suitable for your child. If you're thinking of using your pram for more children or selling it in the future, a well-maintained stroller will be at its best prams for as long as possible.

Most prams have manuals that provide cleaning guidelines, often accompanied by specific directions for washing and maintenance of various parts. If not then you should look online for recommendations.

The first step to cleaning a pram is to remove all fabric elements (seat baskets, canopy, and so on) and wash them as suggested by the manufacturer. It's important to wash these items with warm soapy water, since cold or hot water can cause damage to the fabric. It is important to let the fabric completely dry before reattaching it.

It is essential to examine your pram regularly for signs of wear and loose screws. This will stop the pram with car seat from becoming unstable or damaged, which could pose a threat to your child's safety. Examine the brakes, locking mechanisms and harness to ensure they are in good functioning condition. And it's recommended to periodically give your frame and wheels an oily spray to keep them running smoothly.

You should also think about buying an infant liner or pram cover that will provide an additional layer of protection to your stroller from stains and spills. They can be easily removed and cleaned, so your stroller will be in good condition for a longer period of time. You can also jazz up your pram with a new set of seats, wheels or sun canopy to make it look more modern and match it to your little one's outfit. You can also use a touch-up pen to protect any scrapes or scratches on the frame of your pram, particularly prams with black paint that show dirt very quickly.
