There are several different fold types, so search for one that suits your lifestyle and needs. For instance, some of the latest buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold that collapses at the simple press of a button. This leaves your hands free to juggle a baby, bags or other children, and is perfect for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still in place, which means they'll weigh a bit more and may not be as comfortable to fit in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It doesn't matter if you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, it's important to ensure that the model you pick will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. For instance, if you're going to be on a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made of air-filled tyres that will provide a more comfortable ride for your little one.
