Quicksmart: a stroller that really folds down

I can't pretend I've tried the Quicksmart Easyfold stroller, nor have I knowingly seen one in action, so I'm not able to write a review. Instead, I bring it to your attention as something you may wish to explore further for yourself - and of course, if you have one yourself, please feel free to comment below and tell us what you think.

What caught my eye about this Aussie pushchair was its boast that it folds down to just about the minimum size possible for such a product, fitting in to its own small carrybag, and of course slipping into a tightly-packed car boot with ease. If space is an issue in the home, or your co-tenants are forever tripping over your pushchair in the stairwell, it looks like this could be an answer to many of your problems.

Being so small, it's also light - at 13lbs, it's not much heavier than a six-month-old baby, the youngest passenger it can take. And yet, it can carry up to 33 lbs, which could take you well into your child's third or even fourth year.

Of course, the crucial point about all folding pushchairs is how quickly they compact: at a busy bus-stop, no-one's got time for multiple levers and esoteric sequences of moves. There's a video on the site that shows the fold action, but I guess you'd really have to try it for yourself to gauge how easy it is.
