Folding is easy

You should buy an umbrella specifically designed for the model of pushchair and not an ordinary one.

The final requirement is that the stroller should be light and compact. This is especially true for travel pushchairs that must be capable of folding down to a compact size. The Bugaboo Butterfly has one of the smallest folds available on the market and is able to be stored in overhead luggage compartments of a few airlines (although not all). The Bugaboo Butterfly was a relaxing ride for our tester's parents and her toddler. It features reclined seats that are large and of high quality.

When you're choosing a travel-friendly pushchair, think about the frequency you'll use it and the kind of terrain you'll cover.
