MICRALITE ProFold By Silver Cross Lightweight Travel Stroller with Compact Fold, Suitable from Birth – Black

Product Information

New for 2020, Micralite’s Winter Packs include a water-resistant footmuff with a cosy micro fleece lining, and a seat of fleece-lined mitts. I was impressed with everything that came with the stroller (Rain Cover, Shoulder Strap, Detachable Bumper Bar, and Mesh Foot Guard). That’s why the ProFold features extra suspension for the smoothest ride of any compact, so you don’t have to compromise.

Bear in mind though that it isn’t cocooned for a young baby so, while our tester deemed it comfortable for her three-year-old, she wouldn’t have used it with a baby under six months. The Micralite ProFold is an incredibly compact and lightweight stroller which is perfect for holidays and life on the go. The reason I had bought it, was that it was the most different I could find from the classical Emmaljunga that is almost repulsively popular in Estonia. The only thing I find is that it’s quite hard to push sometimes, because the suspension is so good, the pushchair chair part moves easily side to side (as intended) but because of that the pushchair pulls to the side when the floor is sloping one way.The Micralite ProFold comes with a roomy back pocket, fantastic for easily accessing your purse and keys. Although her three-year-old walked alongside her when travelling up and down stairs, she was able to manage the buggy and a bag while holding her daughter’s hand. It is genuinely and intuitively one-handed, involving two buttons pressed at once and folding down on itself in a single, fluid movement.

However, as might be expected with a lightweight stroller, it does struggle with uneven ground and even small dips. The Micralite ProFold Graphite comes with grey melange fabrics and a vegan faux leather handlebar and bumper bar for babies to hold on to. The ProFold Footmuff is water resistant meaning you can take it with you whatever the weather conditions, with a micro-fleece lining to keep your little one toasty and warm.But it gives you the freedom to reduce your pram footprint early on without compromising on comfort for your child.

Also, I don't love the loose fabric + pocket behind the seat, which is still loose when you collapse the stroller, until you play with it and the Velcro. But have you ever tried to get on a bus or a train on your own when you need to fold down the pushchair whilst also holding your child! One of the trips I was traveling solo with our 10 month old, and both features were important when I was holding baby in one arm and needed to open or close the stroller with the other hand. There are two things I have found about the Micralite Profold that could definitely be changed and improved.Perfect for travelling or apartment living, Micralite haven't compromised on usability or comfort with the added four wheel suspension. 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.

Kelly-Anne: I would recommend the pro fold by micralite to family, friends or fellow mum's because it is comfy to push and tall enough for tall or short mum's or dad's to push. The gray cover does slide some, so my little one was slouching at times, but that's also how he tends to sit in our jogging stroller as well.

Maximum Suspension - Switching from travel system to compact stroller can sometimes feel like a real downgrade in terms of usability, stability and comfort for baby. Cabin Approved - Small enough to fit in any car boot or overhead train storage, ProFold is within the cabin baggage allowance for British Airways, Jet 2 and Easyjet. As a main pushchair, however, it’s just as suited to families with limited storage space or who live up long flights of stairs. This is detachable, presumably, so it can be washed but just slides on and off the clip easily meaning it can be lost.
