Pushchair Easy Fold Review

A pushchair that is simple to fold will make the task of folding your buggy easier. They are usually fully assembled when they are taken out of the box, and then fold down with a press of a button.

Some models are truly one-handed with just the push of a button and can be folded in just a few seconds. Others require some effort and two hands, or can take a couple of steps before becoming fully folded.

There are many ways to fold the pushchair. Some models have a z-fold, where the top section of the chassis folds over the frame with the natural, easy motion. This is often seen in the Babyzen YOYO stroller which was among the first in its class and is still a favourite among parents across the globe.

Some models come with a more traditional folding with a handle/ring that can be finicky to master. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe for instance, requires precise timing to to operate the mechanism, but once you've got it, it's simple to fold it down and stow.
