4.1 Folding the Stroller
The Lara stroller features a convenient one-hand flash fold. Locate the folding mechanism on the handlebar. Press the button and push the stroller forward and down to collapse it into a compact size.

The extendable sunshade provides UPF 50 protection. Pull the canopy forward to extend it fully. A mesh peek-a-boo window allows you to keep an eye on your child while providing ventilation.
