How to Fold a Graco Stroller
Graco makes a popular line of baby strollers designed to go from the sidewalk to the trunk of a car or back of an SUV in a matter of seconds. This type of stroller is equipped with quick-release levers that allow you to collapse the stroller for easy storage; it also unfolds easily and locks securely into the open position, ready for baby's strolls through the world. Graco strollers essentially fold forward onto themselves into a flattened position for storage. Follow these steps to get your stroller closed and ready to store.

Tips & Warnings
Graco strollers do not lock in the folded position, so pick up the stroller by the frame when placing it in your vehicle or storing it upright in a closet. Otherwise, the stroller will fold open by itself when you move it or pick it up.
Keep your fingers clear of the hinge mechanism when collapsing the stroller or you could get a nasty pinch. After you reopen the stroller, make sure that the folding release levers are locked before putting the baby in the stroller seat.
