I've got the Mountain Buggy too and like MG said, its fold down with two hands and then sort of fling it open with one. I leave Iz in the car while I get the pram out and up, and then loaded with the ever increasing amount of stuff I seem to take out (!!), then put her in and go. Back at the car I unload everything from the pram, then Iz into the car, then the pram in the car. I'm finding as the weather heats up I need to open doors and unwind windows for a bit before Izzy can go in, so it works well to unload everything else first.
