Removal of mildew and mold

Mold is a fungus which grows on organic materials, usually in dark and damp environments. Mold can give off an unpleasant musty odor and be difficult to remove. If the mould isn't removed, it can continue to expand and grow. To avoid this it is vital to clean the area regularly. The first step is to eliminate any loose debris and dirt from the fabric surface. This can be done by hand or by using the vacuum cleaner that has an adjustable nozzle attachment. This is a good time to clean pockets, compartments and other small spaces that are difficult to reach.

The next step is to wipe down the entire surface of the pushchair using a clean cloth or scrubber. It is important to do this outside in a well-ventilated area, and preferably while wearing a mask to prevent breathing in mould spores. After the surface of the fabric has been cleaned, it can be sprayed with mildew removal products or a diluted white vinegar solution. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and it won't harm the fabric or any other materials that make up your pushchair. If you aren't able to remove the mould from the fabric's surface, it may be necessary to dry and scrub the area with a dehumidifier.

It is recommended to allow the fabric to completely dry prior to storing. This can be done by placing the fabric in a sunny area and then spraying it with an anti-fungal spray - Milton makes a great, kid-friendly one.

If you're having trouble getting rid of stubborn stains or mould, you can try MARBLELIFE(r) Mold and Mildew Stain Remover.

Cleaning

A car seat or a pushchair can be a challenge to clean, particularly if it has been used for outdoor excursions, and has accumulated food crumbs, mud and other sand. The best way to start is to remove loose dirt using crevice attachments or use a brush to clear out any crevices and nooks. You can also spray some Clorox Free and Clear Multi-Surface Spray Cleaner or similar product and then use a cloth to rub it into any fabric sections such as the basket, seat or Pram For Newborn hood.

If you want to tackle any stains or marks you've got, take an examination of the care instructions to determine if they can be machine washed. If not, a bucket of hot soapy water and gentle baby-friendly detergent should suffice. You can use a sponge to get rid of any stubborn marks and then allow to dry in the sun (which will also help lighten the stains).

If you own an infant stroller with removable fabric parts, such as seat supports or hoods ensure that you wash and dry them thoroughly.

The frame or chassis may require a little more attention than the fabric parts. If you spot mold spores on the plastic, it is important to act quickly to prevent the spores from spreading around to your child as they sleep. A solution of water and vinegar is ideal for this because it can break down the bacteria, and can be cleaned. A toothbrush from the past is an excellent tool to get into difficult to reach or delicate areas.

If you have stains that are difficult to remove, add a bit of bicarbonate soda to your wash or apply baking soda to remove the stain. This will not only neutralise any smells, but also lift any stains a first wash might miss.

Storage

A well-designed pushchair should come with plenty of exterior and interior storage for all the essentials like snacks, drinks and toys. The main compartment should be big enough to accommodate tablets or laptops and there should be a smaller storage compartment on the side for small items like phones, keys or other baby supplies. Some pushchairs Car Seats have storage compartments hidden under the seat, which is perfect to store things when the baby sleeps.

A travel system bundle is a fantastic option for new parents as it allows you to buy car seats and strollers together in one purchase. The best travel systems include adaptors that allow the car seat and stroller to be connected to each other. This makes it much easier to transfer a sleeping child from the car to the stroller compact.

In our tests, we found the best combos have a simple connection process which almost feels like it is a self-installing system. This is a major advantage over combinations that require strap attachment in the second step, which could result in mistakes. In fact, those combinations that use straps scored lower on our ratings for ease of use.

Some pushchairs are also equipped with a footmuff, which is perfect for winter. However, it is important to make sure that the footmuff is compatible with a pushchair car seat. Also, ensure it comes with a hood which will protect your child from the elements.

There are numerous accessories for pushchairs like rain covers and a footmuff. Some of these are essential and others are optional depending on your needs.
