When it comes to baby push chairs, the collapsible umbrella style of push chair can be a great asset to any parent. These types of push chairs have the ability to fold up similar to how an umbrella works. This allows you to save space when storing the push chair in your home or in your car. In this article we will discuss the pro’s and con’s of having an umbrella push chair.

First lets talk about the pro’s:

Collapsible – As mentioned before these types of push chairs can be easily broken down to save on storage space
Lightweight – These types of chairs are great for the weary parent. You don’t need a bunch of effort to get the push chair stowed away after a long day with the kids
Low Priced – Because these chairs don’t have a lot of moving parts, they are very low cost to manufacture and they can be had at relatively low prices when compared to some of the other types of push chairs out in the marketplace

While these types of push chairs have all of these good qualities, before purchasing one you should also be aware of the cons:

Can be slighty uncomfortable – Since these push chairs are designed to be collapsible they don’t have much padding around the seating area. If you’re going to have your child in the push chair for more than an hour or so you should consider buying one with more padding if you’re concered about your child’s comfort
Mainly used for toddlers – If your child in under 6 months of age, you should consider buying a different push chair because most of the umbrella style push chairs are designed for toddlers
Cheaper is not always better – When it comes to umbrella style push chairs, buying cheap doesn’t always guarantee you the best deal. Many manufacturers use cheap fabrics and materials to make the cheaper more uncomfortable chairs. If you really want a collapsible umbrella style push chair consider spending a little extra to get a better product.

We’ve covered the pro’s and the con’s of owning a collapsible umbrella style push chair. If you’re in the market for one, you should always do your due diligence before making a purchase.
