Easy to clean
As many parents will know the price of a pushchair is typically very expensive and so it's important to keep it looking nice and working well. Cleaning it frequently is the best way to achieve this. It is best to clean it with warm, soapy water to get rid of the majority of dirt and marks. However you can also use a brush or a water hosepipe (on low setting) to get into the corners and crevices of your stroller. You should do this on a dry, warm day. It is best to turn the stroller upside down and use a brush.
If you're worried about staining, try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both of them can get rid of the most stubborn stains and neutralize smells. Regularly wiping down the surface with warm water can also stop mould from growing, which is not only ugly, but also unsanitary to let toddlers and babies sit on.
The manual is among the best ways to keep your pushchair in good shape and clean. The manual contains details on how to construct and disassemble your pushchair and will also provide information about the materials. The manual will show you how to clean the fabric parts as well as the hood and other components of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least twice every two weeks) and to check the air pressure in the tyres on a regular basis (normally indicated by the manual).
The metal chassis and moving parts of the majority of pushchairs will wear over time due to their constant use. If left unattended, this may result in loose bolts and nuts or even rust. It's a good idea to inspect your stroller regularly for signs of wear. If you notice any issues ensure that you contact the manufacturer as soon as you can. This will not only keep your pushchair in good working condition but also avoid any potential safety issues that could result from defective equipment.

A pushchair with 3 wheels allows you to maneuver more easily than a standard 4-wheel model particularly if you have large rear wheels designed to handle rough terrain. You can easily maneuver them across the street and over bumps. If you reside in a rural area or often take your child or toddler on walks over rough ground and muddy terrain, then an all-terrain pushchair could be the best fit. They are ideal for woodland walks as well as for tackling difficult terrain. A lot of them can be tethered to car seats or infant carriers to provide an all-in-one solution.
Most all-terrain pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tyres which are designed to be tough enough to cope with bumpy and uneven surfaces. However, a majority still have a good suspension to assist you in navigating difficult areas and make the ride as comfortable as possible for your child. They can also be heavy which makes them difficult to lift when they are folded. This is particularly relevant if you have an infant in your seat, as well as lots of bags.
Take into consideration the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler that you are thinking about. A lot of them have smaller shopping baskets than their 4-wheel counterparts. If pushchair 3 wheels are planning to go out for lots of shopping, or have a growing baby you may require a larger stroller that is able to accommodate your needs.
