Folded size: The Aer2 has the shorter longest side when folded: 53 cm against 55.5 cm. These are the manufacturers' published folds, not a car-fit test, so measure your boot opening as well.

Will it fit your car?

We have not tested either pram in a car. Compare the published folds above with your boot opening and floor; the shape of the boot matters as much as the numbers.
