Folding
Many of the most well-known pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are more convenient to fit in the boot of your car which is ideal for those who are short on space or have a small car boot, or plan on doing lots of travelling as with your family.
There are many different fold types, so look for one that fits your lifestyle and requirements. For example, some of the latest buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold that collapses on its own with a simple push of a button. This lets you hold your child, other children or bags using both hands. It's also great for parents who have back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still on, which means they'll weigh a bit more and may not fit as well in your boot or car. Some of these will also require a couple of hands to fold, which could be a problem if need to fold it while holding onto your child.
It's important to check that the pushchair will be capable of handling the terrain on which you intend to use it. For instance, if you're going to be on lots of cobblestones and gravel tracks then make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres to offer an easier ride for your child.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels that will give your baby a smooth ride. But, if you'll be taking your child off-road or on rough ground, go for one equipped with removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel to help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
