The suspension on it makes a huge difference and makes this stroller a genuine option for everyday use as it can easily be used on most surfaces. With added four-wheel suspension and lockable swivel wheels for improved manoeuvrability, the buggy’s one-hand steering and easy one-touch brake makes navigating busy and unpredictable inner-city streets super-easy. It offers good value for money and feels sturdy but it is probably still prohibitively expensive as an additional pram for a lot of people, particularly when lightweight strollers, which often get a lot of use (and abuse) can be picked up so cheaply.

The Micralite ProFold boasts 20K/20K rated weatherproof fabric which is waterproof to keep baby dry and has a UPF50 rating to ensure your little one is protected from the sun’s rays. In some ways, it’s easy to push as it’s so lightweight - so it’s easy to push on smooth surfaces, steer one-handed and lift up when approaching a big kerb. Meet Newborn Cosy Pod – perfect if you’re struggling for storage, or looking for extra baby comfort.

So it's fine for people of a certain height, but if you're tall or it's used by several people, it's worth considering a model with an adjustable handlebar. Another design fault is that the padding around the straps is not fixed with any velcro, meaning that the padding can easily slide off when the harness is not clipped in. Initially, Adele was concerned that the ProFold wasn’t a very deep pushchair and seated her child in an unusually upright position but, by adjusting the recline strap and the thigh support, she was able to find a position that both she and her child were happy with. Micralite is part of the Silver Cross family, a brand known for its high-performance products with an aim to make parenting that bit easier.

Despite these design glitches, I would still recommend the Micralite ProFold and think that it has a huge amount of great features to offer. It doesn’t come with a carrycot or cocoon, and I think the seat (if reclined all the way back to a lay-flat position) is too flimsy and exposed for newborns and small babies. For parenting on the go, GetGo is suitable from birth with its lie flat seat unit and can be buddied with our Newborn Cosy Pod or Silver Cross Dream i-Size infant carrier. I bought the Micralite compact stroller because I needed one that would fit in my car without taking too much room when running errands and groceries.It also fit in the overhead bin when flying Southwest US domestic and under an Amtrak roomette seat. Firstly, the foot break is positioned in a way that makes it easy to accidentally kick when you are walking.
