The MFM reviews revealed that the Graco Eezefold stroller was easy to move and, even fully loaded, it felt solid enough to stand up to cobblestones and bumpy roads.

It has a large shopping basket, a full-coverage hood to keep rain out and the cup holder can be used to hold the size of a travel mug. It's a great stroller for toddlers and babies from birth to 4 years old. older.

We are awestruck by the fact that it's easy to open and close, even if you're in a rush or if your hands are full of kids. It's also a comfortable pushchair that reclines and is simple to use for small folding pushchair children. It doesn't provide the extra support that a carrycot or bassinet provides for newborns and isn't suitable for use as an infant travel buggy.

When travelling with baby you'll be frequently between taxis, trains and tubes, and up and down stairs or escalators so it's important to pick a lightweight pushchair that you can easily manoeuvre and take away. Find one that folds to an incredibly small size and then is able to stand when opened or collapses into an incredibly compact flat fold, so it occupies less space in your accommodation. If you want to store the pushchair cheap when it is not in use, a freestanding storage basket could be useful.

The Graco EeZeFold is excellent choice if you're looking for a stroller that is suitable for babies from birth. It has a smart compact fold, hood, and rain cover to shield your baby from the sun. It's also compatible with a car seat so you can use it as part of a travel set-up from infant to toddler, and there are many accessories like a bassinet or a wheelsed boards, or leg rests for tired toddlers.

During testing it was super easy to maneuver and tackled cobbles, bumpy roads and even some massive kerbs. It didn't feel heavy at all which is quite impressive for a vehicle this small and lightweight. The only drawback is that the seat doesn't recline. However, as it's intended to travel, this isn’t a big problem. The handle bar is fixed at quite an elevated height and isn't much adjustable, but it still felt comfortable for both tall and short adults during our test.
