Some are suitable from birth and offer a lie-flat seat or the option of affixed an infant car seat. They can also be fitted with a concertina fold.
Easy to fold
Many parents think about the ease of folding a pushchair before deciding on one. If you are traveling or just out for a stroll, a quick, fuss-free fold is vital. Some models are one-handed at the touch of a button, and can be folded in just a few seconds. Others require more effort and two hands, or can take a couple of steps before becoming fully folded.
There are many ways to fold a pushchair up to 25kg. Some pushchairs feature a z fold, where the top section of chassis folds over the frame in a natural, simple motion. This is typically seen in the Babyzen YoYO, which was one of the first models of this kind of stroller, and is loved by parents all over the world.
Some models come with an older-style folding mechanism with a handle/ring, which can be difficult to master. The UPPAbaby G Luxe, for example, requires careful timing to be able to operate the mechanism, but once you’ve got it, it’s simple to collapse and stow.
Some of these pushchairs are built to be used right from birth, and include the option of a carrycot or compatible car seat so you can use them from day one.

They’re still much simpler to fold than a full size pushchair walker without this feature.
