How to Close an Umbrella Stroller

Many parents opt for lightweight umbrella strollers when it comes to their child transporting needs. Umbrella strollers usually weigh less than 15 pounds, so they are easy to carry. They also have closing mechanisms, allowing them to fold up for easy transport and storage when not in use, according to the New Parents Guide website.

      Deactivate the closing mechanism lock. Umbrella strollers feature special locks to prevent the stroller from collapsing and potentially injuring the child. Many stroller models use red clips as locking mechanisms, so they are easy to locate. In many cases, moving the clip forward will deactivate the lock.
