A foldable pushchair that is easy to fold is also important if you plan to use it for walking in urban areas, or with a child car seat or carry cot. If you want your buggy to be stable to move over uneven ground or to bump up and down curbs then a four-wheeler is the best option. They tend to be more stable and less likely to fall over than three-wheelers.

Cleaning it on a regular basis is the best way to achieve this. It's best to clean it with soapy water that is warm and soft to get rid of the majority of dirt and marks. However, you can also use a brush or a hosepipe (on low setting) to reach the corners and crevices of your stroller. It's best to do this outside on an overcast day, and then tipping it upside down as much as you can to ensure you get into the wheels and mechanisms, where dirt tends to accumulate.

If you're worried about stains you can try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both of these can take out stubborn stains and neutralise smells. Regularly wiping down the surfaces with warm water can also stop mould from growing which is not just ugly, but also unsanitary to let toddlers and babies sit on.
