Easy to Manoeuvre

Some have a lockable and an swiveling front wheel, which is perfect for running on a variety of surfaces. Some jogging strollers are ideal for infants when used in conjunction with a car seat or carrycot that is compatible. But, you should wait until your child is at least six or nine months old before you run with them.

Easy to clean

It's important to clean your pushchair regularly to prevent staining, mud and mold growth. This will help keep it looking and working like new for as long as it is possible. Keep your pushchair in good condition by giving it a quick wash every week and a thorough cleaning once a month.

Begin by assessing the extent of dirt, mud, and mould to determine areas that require attention. It will be much easier to clean with a soft-bristled tooth brush to remove dried mud or debris from surfaces made of fabric, like the seat and basket. Clean or dust the entire seat, including all of the crevices and corners where food crumbs, dust and debris accumulate. You can also use a small fabric brush or even an (old!) toothbrush to get into the difficult-to-access corners and creases.

After you've cleaned the surfaces of your stroller, it's time to clean the wheels. The wheels of your stroller, no matter if they are made of plastic or rubber will be more filthy than other areas because they are directly in contact with the floor. It's best to begin by cleaning the wheels. A scourer might be useful to remove stubborn marks however, it is important to avoid scratching the surface of the frame as this could cause corrosion.

Then, rinse the wheels with clean water and let them dry completely before reattaching them to the frame of your chassis. Check your user manual again to see if you need to lubricate the wheels bearings regularly.

Many parents are worried about mould since it can be unsightly and release spores that can be harmful to your child. It is essential to get rid of the mould as soon as you notice it, using a mould removal product such as white vinegar. This will destroy the bacteria and remove the stain off the fabric, leaving the fabric clean. If you're lucky, your mould-removal solution will leave your stroller smelling fresh and clean too!

Fantastic storage

These types of pushchairs also are often equipped with excellent storage options, like large baskets and pockets that are located on the hood. They're often also designed to be simple to fold, with certain models being foldable with one hand.

It's also important to note that the large rear wheels can make these pushchairs a little bigger than standard buggies which may mean they're not suitable for cars with small trunks or narrow shopping aisles.
