The best umbrella strollers for easy folding and storage

Made from 100 per cent premium quality materials, this stroller has been made to last and will be your baby's travel companion from birth to 15kg (approx. 4 years). The Joie Nitro has five recline positions so your baby can sleep on the move and a five-point SoftTouch harness that's gentle on the baby's skin. The compact design makes folding easy, and it's easy to pop back up, making every stroll a breeze!

Review: "Bought this for our grandson and our outings. Great price super easy to set up, comes with an adjustable sun shade and detachable rain cover. 5 adjustable strap positions as they grow! Easy to put up and down and lightweight to push our grandson was very happy and managed to fall asleep in it on his first outing."

This John Lewis ANYDAY lightweight stroller with an innovative umbrella-like folding allows you to store it safely and with ease. The travel system has a large canopy so that baby is protected while they nap. The design has a spacious basket so that you can keep shopping, snacks or drinks for your child neat and organised. Suitable from birth up to 22 kg or 4 years, whichever comes first.

Review: "Bought this to use myself for my grandchild when I am looking after him and am so happy with it. The quality is amazing and is very well constructed and designed. I wanted something that I could fit in the boot of my small car and this stroller fits perfectly. It's so easy to fold down and put up which I can do without struggling and the full lie back function is perfect for naps. The buggy itself (black version) looks and feels much more expensive than what it cost and is a nice roomy size which will be perfect for a few years use."

This Cosatto Supa 3 multi-use stroller can be used from birth and has a whole host of fun, colourful designs to choose from. Its compact fold means it can also easily fit into small cars and can support up to 25kg, so your toddler can use it for longer. With UPF100+ extendable ventilated hood, rain cover, and reversible fleece-lined footmuff, this buggy is ready for any weather.

Review: "Great pram, easy to fold, fits in the back of my fiesta so pretty compact. I bought it for my 8-month-old because it will easily last her until she's out of a pram. Originally thought about going for a cheaper pram but this comes with the footmuff, cup holder and rain cover which bought separately on top of the cost of a cheaper pram worked out the same. Plus the pattern is lovely! The liner had already been through the wash and has come out as good as new. Some milk was spilt in the hood but this was easy to clean off with a damp cloth so think it will keep in good condition for a while! I like the leather style handles as previous prams had foam handles which have had chunks break off when getting in and out of the car."

Shortlisted in the 2016 M&B Awards Best Lightweight Buggy or Stroller category.

Available in three different designs, this Silver Cross Reflex pram has an ergonomic backrest that creates a natural cradling position for your baby which helps protect their back and spine. It's easy to convert the stroller into a compact fold, making it much easier to carry.

Tested by mum Alex Pearce for the M&B Awards 2016: "The Silver Cross Reflex isn't just a standard stroller, the brand has gone the extra mile to give you a high quality, stylish product. There are a huge number of colours to choose from (we had yellow and love it). The chassis feels strong and sturdy compared to cheaper strollers I've used. It folds pretty well, although I'm not a fan of the umbrella fold in general.

With a shopping basket and rain cover, the Red Kite Baby Push Me stroller boasts deep padded seats to allow for slightly older babies too. It's suitable for babies from 6 months to babies of 15kg. In true umbrella stroller fashion, its collapsable frame also makes it easier for transportation and storage.

Review: "I bought this to use for my granddaughter when she comes around and we want to go to the park. At 8 months old she loves it. It tilts back if she sleeps and I put a pair of cosy toes in it to keep her warm. I have tried to use these new modern pushchairs and thrown them to the charity shop because they are not easy for us old people to use. This goes up and down so easy, is sturdy and good enough to keep in the back of the car for when we pop out. Great value and a great little pushchair."

This stylish pushchair from Silver Cross is light and compact, making it quick and easy to fold. It also features a carry handle for ease. It's suitable from birth up to toddler age and adjusts as your little one grows.

Tested by mum, Zoe Lester for M&B: "I love this! Beautiful and modern, it's the perfect lightweight stroller. Easy to carry and push, it copes with a range of surfaces and steers well one-handed. The seat has lots of room for growth. The handle height isn't adjustable, but I found it very comfortable. I like the deep basket too and managed to squeeze about three-days worth of groceries in there."

This vibrant stroller is lightweight, weighing just 5.98kg, which is useful when carrying once folded. It also has a 5-point security harness for your little one's safety. As well as including a premium wind-resistant rain cover to help protect your baby from the elements, the Maclaren Volo Dylan's Candy Bar Stroller also has a water-resistant and extendable hood, under pram storage, plus all wheels suspension.

Review: "I like the pram, it is very light and quite easy to manage. My son likes it since the very first day. It seems comfortable. Good for travelling by public transport."

Suitable for children from 6 months to 4 years, the Ickle Bubba Discovery Max Stroller is fitted with a five-point safety harness and has lockable rear wheels too, for increased safety. We love the luxurious look and feel of this stroller with the soft quilted seat liner, footmuff, and rain cover that'll keep your little one warm and dry. It folds super compact, weighing only 7kg for easy carrying, and even has a carry strap and leather shoulder pad included.

Review: "Had this now about 2 months and find it really easy to use. Only request would be for the handles to be adjustable so easier for taller people but it's a good handy buggy for what I wanted. We have the V4 system as well and had this from the birth of our little girl so knew the brand. It's a really good alternative to the higher end brands with the same options of easy one-hand fold, one-hand recline, cup holder and cosy toes but at a much more reasonable price."
