the fold is fantastic alone during our trips I could leave my dd in it all the way up to the bus we would unload everything before hand and get situated. when we would get on the bus we would get her out and fold it up as we walked on. it does fold pretty compact compared to the umbrella style it folds flat in half it is wider but not as long. the canopy, the nylon mesh fabric, deep full recline, and easy fold made it the ultimate stroller for us. the best part about the fold is that no matter who uses the stroller w/ baby, for instance grandparents, they will have no trouble folding this stroller. The Mini is not recommended for jogging, the only strollers intended for joggers are the fixed wheel joggers simply so that they don't come unlocked and tip over after hitting a bump.
