Umbrella fold buggy that fits in Fiesta boot

Hello, just wondering if anyone can suggest an umbrella fold or similar light buggy that fits in the boot of a ford fiesta? Measured the boot and I think the maximum height it could fit is around 95cm but all umbrella fold buggies seem to be well over 1m when folded. Looking for something cheap, light and easy to fold that grandparents can use. TIA!

Not an umbrella fold but would recommend Mamas & Papas Armadillo for cheap, compact, easy to fold and light. Great on pavements, tarmac etc but not so good for rough terrain. You may need to check folded dimensions - we lie it flat in our (non Fiesta!) boot and it doesn’t take up much room.

Alternatively if needed for country walks etc try the Micralite Fastfold as this is all terrain. This is an umbrella fold. Again check dimensions before buying. I don’t think they make it anymore (I don’t know why, it’s brilliant, easy to use and just glides along!) so available on third party websites / secondhand, and suitable from 6 months.

@tortiecat ah thanks, the grandparents actually currently have an Armadillo and they are finding it too heavy to lift in and out of the car!! I checked, it's around 11kg. Hence why I was looking at the umbrella fold ones as those seem to be more around the 7kg mark. Thanks I'll check out the micralite one.

We’ve got the Miniuno Touchfold Stroller it’s not an unbrella fold as none were small enough to fit in the boot. It’s 7.2kg
