Micralite ProFold
The Micralite ProFold is an ultra-compact travel stroller with a stylish design and a true one-hand fold, fitting in the overhead compartment as cabin luggage on a plane when it's folded. Apart from the cool look achieved by combining different fabric types and colors, it features an included reversible seat liner and an integrated fabric part underneath the leg rest that acts partially like the protection a bassinet would offer to a smaller baby. Also, there's a rather elaborate suspension system built in the wheels, which is another unique feature rarely seen in ultracompacts.
The forward-facing seat reclines fully - up to a lie-flat, and it also sports an extendable, waterproof canopy with a ventilation mesh part. As the ProFold is a very lightweight, very compact pushchair, it is best to use from the time the baby is already a few months old. You'll also get a carry strap and a rain cover with your ProFold buggy. It is not compatible with a car seat.

Parent reviews of the Micralite ProFold
- Lightweight
- Easy to steer
- Good sized basket for small pushchair
- Looks good
- Hood covers child well
- Useful storage pocket on the hood
- comfy enough for sleeping in
- Fits well on the bus with other prams
- We like it!
- Raincover is small so a bit fiddly to fit and we can't get it to fully cover the footmuff so bought a generic one
- 5 foot 8ish probably the tallest you can be without sometimes kicking the break on and off as you walk
- Handlebar is thinner to hold than our main pram which makes it feel slightly less sturdy, though I think this is psychological more than anything!
- When folded and standing it rests on the handlebar, not sure how this will wear over time
- Recline toggle a little stiff
Lightweight, easy to fold, sturdy enough for most everyday town usage. Pleased with the purchase.
Your questions about the Micralite ProFold
Hi,
Is this stroller suitable from newborn without an extra piece?
Hi, Moana,
You theoretically could use this with a newborn baby as it reclines fully enough, however it is a simple, a bit rattl stroller and without a soft insert cot or at least a better footmuff, the baby wil be very exposed. I personally would not use it with a newborn baby, at least not as the only stroller (you could have it as a second, travel stroller for occasional use from birth).
How do you adjust the straps to attach the footmuff?
Thanks!
Hiya, Lia!
This depends more on the footmuff you own (or plan to purchase) than on this model. I mean, the harness is rather straightforward, pretty simple – you need to retread, so pull out the straps, tread each through the cosytoes' hole for each strap, and tread back into the seatback. There are also footmuffs with two larger hole sand velcro that do not require retreading, they'll simply "hug" the straps and close around those (e.g., newer Lodger Bunkers, Elodie Details, etc.).
So, again, depending on the foomuff you own, you either need to pull the straps out, through the footmuff, and in again, OR you only need to attach the footmuff around the straps without the need for retreading.
Hi, can this stroller fit in the overhead bin of a regular international airplane? Thank you!
Hello,
The folded dimensions of the ProFold stroller are 51 cm x 44 cm x 24 cm which is, yes, pretty much cabin-size-friendly. So yes, it should fit the overhead compartment as a carry-on - but it is always advisable to check the exact limitations of your airline to see if these meet their hand luggage dimensions requirement. Each airline has this set a little bit differently, you know.
