Umbrella Stroller/Umbrella-fold pushchair

An umbrella stroller is so named because of its curling double handles which resemble umbrella handles and its ability to fold up into a very small package. It is essentially a lightweight pushchair which folds very compactly (inwards and over on itself) and is typified by the Maclaren range of pushchairs. See also Lightweight Pushchair.
