This UPPAbaby has one of the smallest folds that we've ever seen. However, it has some limitations, like a small canopy and lack of storage.

Folding is easy

Consider where and how you will use the pushchair before deciding one. If you're taking your baby on an airplane, a compact and lightweight buggy is a good option. It can be tucked away in the overhead luggage compartments and is small enough to be able to be carried over the shoulder. It is recommended to choose buggy that folds easily with one hand while you hold your child. It should also have a handle that is height-adjustable so that parents and caregivers of different heights are able to use it comfortably. If you're planning on hiking with baby, a swivel-lock wheel is essential to maneuver over uneven terrain. Be sure to look for features like the ability to recline deep enough the baby to sleep comfortably while you're moving and an extended sun canopy.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to fold with one hand, but it's best to test this out before purchasing to confirm it really is feasible while holding your child.

This is the reason why one-handed strollers and pushchairs are the most popular choice for parents.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds down it occupies a small space, and is usually very light as well. This is particularly true for umbrella-folded pushchairs that weigh less than 20 pounds. They are great for short walks on flat surfaces or pavements and also for transporting between your vehicle and other houses. They're also a great option when you don't wish to invest in a proper all-terrain pushchair and are comfortable with using your jogging pushchair on flat surfaces.

You should consider buying tyres with air for use with your compact pushchair on uneven terrain, on sand, or on slippery surfaces.

Compact

A pushchair's compactness may also be a consideration when you plan to travel with it. There are models that fold to the smallest size and even into a bag, so they can be easily stashed away in the back of a car, or taken on the plane as cabin baggage. This is perfect if you plan to travel frequently or live in an urban area where you won't be able to use a larger stroller all the time.

Some of the most effective pushchairs to consider are those that have an easy, effortless folding process that can be performed with just one hand. The Babyzen YOYO is the first in its class and has been copied since then, but it is unique due to its clever features and superior design.
