A pushchair should be comfortable for parents and children. For a more comfortable ride for your child, search for models that have cushioned straps and soft seats. The pushchair should also have an ample storage basket. Some offer extra features such as a rain cover or parasol.

A good pushchair must come with a large basket that can be used to carry everything you require every day, such as nappies and snacks.

A single pedal brake that locks both rear wheels will ensure the pushchair's stability when stationary.

It's worth examining the brake options to see if there's a single or double pedal, which is helpful for when you have to get your baby out and in of the pushchair a lot.

It's recommended that you give it a quick clean-up after each use, and washing it thoroughly at least once a week.

Vacuuming off loose dirt crumbs, and debris is crucial before you start cleaning your pushchair. Make use of a handheld vacuum that has a flexible nozzle, or a regular household vacuum. Make sure to reach into all crevices and corners.

After this is done, you can now wash the fabric components of your pushchair. The washing instructions will vary according to the manufacturer, but it's generally safe to use gentle baby-safe soap and warm water. You can use an old toothbrush to clean dirt and grime from difficult to reach areas or creases.

It's an excellent idea to wash the frame and wheel often. You can usually use a hose to remove any wet mud or sand and you should also clean the wheels with an broomstick, dipped in warm soapy water.

It's a good idea use disinfecting wipes on the harder parts of your pushchair, such as the frames, handles and other components made of plastic that are hard to clean. Make sure you adhere to the contact time guidelines on the product packaging to ensure a thorough clean.
