How to Fold Umbrella Strollers

Umbrella strollers are lightweight and easier to handle than larger, bulky strollers. The convenient size easily fits in car trunks, under bus seats, in closets and under beds. Parents often use umbrella strollers when traveling because they are easier to maneuver through a busy airport and fold up quickly. Umbrella strollers are also usually cheaper than larger strollers, another advantage that budget-minded parents enjoy. Folding an umbrella stroller can be tricky at first, but once you do it a few times, it is easy.

Instructions

    • 1

      Use your foot to apply the parking brake, locking the wheels.

    • 2

      Fold the canopy back toward the handles.

    • 3

      Locate the latch on the rear wheel rack. Move the latch to unlock the frame. Typically, the latch moves up and to the left when standing behind the stroller. Some strollers have a hook latch. In that case, pull the hook down and out. Use a hand or foot to push down on the wheel rack, folding it in half.

      Bring the handlebars together and push them forward. Fold the rest of the stroller by squeezing it together.

      Locate the closing latch. Most umbrellas strollers are manufactured with a closing latch to prevent it from coming open when it is not in use. The lock clip or closing latch is typically located on one of the side bars of the stroller. Attach the loose end of the latch to the other bar to keep the stroller in its folded position.
