Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They are simple to store at home, and they can be easily fitted in the car's boot. This is ideal for cars with boot spaces that are small or if you plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are many kinds of folds. So, pick one that best suits your lifestyle and needs. Many of the newest buggy models come with an auto-fold feature, which collapses by itself with just a push of a single button. This lets you hold your baby or other children, or even bags with 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 on, which means they'll weigh a bit more and might not fit as snugly in your boot or car. Some of these will also require more than one hand to fold, which could be a problem when you want to do it whilst being a parent.
If you're looking for an easy umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, it's worth checking that the pushchair you choose will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning to travel lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then tyres with air will provide a more comfortable ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that give your baby an easy ride. If you plan to take your child off-road or on rough terrain, choose one with removable mudguards and/or a front wheel with quick-release. This will make your pushing kit look its best.
