If your trolley shares a hatchback boot with the clubs, shoes and shopping, folded size matters more than anything else. Compact push trolleys fold into a cube or flat block rather than a long frame, and the best ones open and close in a single movement. The trade-offs are usually a little extra weight from the folding mechanism and smaller storage. This guide compares compact push trolleys using the folded dimensions, weight, fold action and brake that their listings state, converting inches to centimetres where needed. Weights marked as packaged include the box. Measure the floor of your boot and its height under the parcel shelf, then compare with the folded sizes below.
