If you plan to use your buggy a lot, a three-wheeler with easy folding wheels is a good option. This will help you save time when you need to load the buggy in and out of a car or into a smaller space, like an aisle in a grocery store.

If you intend to use the pushchair to walk in urban areas, or with the use of a car seat or carrycot, it is crucial to choose a stroller that is easy to fold. If you require the buggy to be stable when walking on uneven ground or bouncing down and up curbs, you should opt for a four-wheeler because they generally have more stability and are less likely to fall over than three-wheelers.

The best method to achieve this is to clean it on a regular basis. A thorough clean-up with soapy water warm and warm will get rid of most dirt and marks, but it's also an excellent idea to make use of a brush and hose pipe (on the lowest setting) to get into the corners, nooks and crannies of your pram/stroller. This should be done on the day that is dry and warm. It is best to flip the stroller upside down and then use a brush.
