Which folding pushchair fits best in your vehicle?

20th July 2023

Family cars have come a long way in the last decade or so. 10 years ago, estate cars were the norm. But they soon became a bit pastiche, and now SUVs are all the rage. The humble pushchair has also come along with the times. But before we get into them, have you considered a Parkers car valuation?

We bet if you’re thinking about pushchairs, you may be thinking about a new car too. Folding pushchairs take up a lot less room than traditional models, but if you have children, you’ll also have a mountain of other things to chuck in the boot. So, you could always do with more room.

And if you are considering a new car, the first thing to consider is working out how much your current car is worth. After all, how much money you have at your disposal ultimately determines your next purchase. And the best way of doing that is to get a valuation, to make sure you don’t get ripped off when selling.

Back to the car. The typical family car is now taller, wider and higher up than the ones your parents used. This seems like great news for the pushchair. But the pushchair is also very different from the one you might have been ferried about in as a baby.

Folding pushchairs used to be for children who had grown out of their first pram. But now things are different. Now, the latest folding pushchairs on the market are sleek and come in a range of different sizes.

 

Why buy a folding pushchair? 

They’re great for travel and are vital for parents who live in urban areas, where parking can be challenging. It even allows you to park in more spaces as you don’t need to accommodate extra space for unloading a large pram or pushchair.

 

The best folding pushchairs

 

Bugaboo Butterfly

The best overall

We love this because it’s an ultra-compact pushchair. It can fit in the smallest of spaces – it can even fit in an aeroplane overhead compartment. This pushchair takes up little to no room in a car, allowing you to keep and maintain a cheaper and smaller car if need be. You can even use most car seats with the pushchair chassis via adapters.

 

Nuna Triv Pushchair

The fancy one

Do you like the finer things in life? You’ll want the Nuna Triv. Everything about this chair screams luxury, from the high-end feel of the bits you push to the suppleness of the padded seats. It’s even been used by A-list momfluencers and momagers such as the Kardashians.

 

Lejoux Baby Pushchair Stroller

Best for value

Not only is this one of the better value models on the market, but the Lejoux Baby Pushchair Stroller is wonderfully adaptable. Its light weight ensures it’s super easy to travel with and equally as easy to assemble too. It’s a little smaller than other strollers, but we think it still has enough room to be useful.
