The art of folding a Cosatto umbrella-fold stroller

One of the most important features of any stroller is whether it is easy to fold. We would recommend that any parents looking for a new stroller should try and fold and unfold it in-store before purchasing it. You shouldn't need an engineering degree to fold it and it should be an easy one or two step process.

In general, umbrella fold strollers are easier to collapse than compact fold strollers and they are usually lighter making them ideal for parents on the go.

All Cosatto’s umbrella-fold strollers, namely the Supa, Swift Lite Supa, Supa Dupa and You2 strollers have a similar easy-to-use folding mechanism.

Before folding the stroller it is important to make sure that the hood is completely back, the backrest is in the most upright position and the raincover has been removed and the storage basket is emptied.

To fold the stroller you either squeeze the primary lock trigger and lift it upwards (Yo!, Swift Lite Supa and You2 Strollers) or you pull upwards on the primary lock ring (Supa and Supa Dupa Strollers) both of which are located in the middle of the backrest. For the twin strollers each seat has a primary lock that needs to be lifted as previously mentioned.

The next step is to press your foot down on the secondary lock whilst you push the handles of the stroller forward until it is folded in half and the auto catch locks. All the Cosatto strollers come with a useful carry handle making it easy to lift and carry the stroller once it is folded. The Supa & Supa Dupa strollers also come with a handy stand mechanism so it can stand on its own.

In order to unfold the stroller, you just have to release the autocatch lock and then you must hold the stroller handles and gently lower the front and press down on the foot pedal at the back of the stroller until you hear it click and lock into place. You are then ready to stroll away!
