If you are planning to use the pushchair for walking in urban areas, or with an infant car seat or carrycot, it is crucial to choose a stroller that is easy to fold. If you want the buggy to be stable to move over uneven ground or to bump up and down curbs then a four-wheeler is best. They are generally more sturdy and less likely to topple over than three-wheelers.

A thorough clean-up using warm soapy water will get rid of most dirt and marks but it's also recommended to make use of a brush and pipe hose (on an uninvolved setting) to get into the corners and the nooks and crannies of your stroller or pram. This should be done on an unseasonably warm, dry day. It is recommended to flip the stroller upside down and use brush.
If you're worried about staining you can try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both can help remove stubborn stains and help to neutralize odors.

Easy to transport

They can usually negotiate kerbs and bumps more quickly, so you can maneuver it up and down, and around town with ease. If you reside in a rural area or often take your child or toddler on walks on rough terrain, then an all-terrain pushchair will be the ideal choice.

If you're going to be shopping a lot, or if you have a growing baby or toddler, you may need to find a larger pushchair that can accommodate your changing needs.
