This feature was a major advantage during our tests, but unfortunately it also left the stroller open to damage by the airline when one of our editors was not able to close it when making sure the stroller was closed for her flight. The baggage handler snapped the footrest, and the UPPAbaby warranty will not cover airline-related damage.

Certain models require you to pull down the handle or lever close to the rear wheels, while others have red straps that must be connected.

If you come across a stroller that is difficult to close, you can use baby oil or WD-40 to grease all joints and connections. If you're not successful, contact the customer service of the manufacturer or try a stroller repair service. But don't try to force it. The force of a stroller to close that was not designed to do so can damage it and cause injury to both you and your child.

However, if you plan for frequent trips that require the stroller to be carried by public transportation or a car, a larger product that has better performance in everyday use and storage may be more suitable.

Certain strollers can be purchased as part of an overall travel package that includes a car seat for children. The cost is similar or less than buying the products on their own. While this is an excellent option, it's important to note that the quality of the stroller that is included in these bundles is often considered to be less than standalone models. We suggest that you look at these options as a last option.
