Folding is easy
If you're planning to take your buggy around frequently, consider choosing a three-wheeler that's easy to fold. This will save you time when it comes to loading the buggy in and out of your car, or into a tight spot like an aisle in a supermarket.
Certain brands advertise that their pushchairs are able to be folded easily and quickly. This can be a significant selling point, particularly when you'll be using your buggy a lot for getting on and off public transport or frequently in and out of your car.
In terms of a fast and simple folding system there are plenty of options to pick from. A lot of lightweight buggies come with a neat one-handed pull mechanism that allows you to quickly and easily fold up the frame. The renowned Priam stroller, which won silver in the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014, is one of these.

If you intend to use the pushchair to walk in urban areas, or even with the use of a car seat or carrycot, it is crucial to choose a stroller that folds easily. If you want your buggy to be stable to move over uneven ground or bump into curbs then a four-wheeler is the best choice. They tend to be more sturdy and less likely to tip over than three-wheelers.
If you plan to be driving your buggy in rural areas or on unpaved tracks, choose models with tyres filled with air (sometimes known as pneumatic) because they will be able to cope better with rough terrain than moulded wheels.

Easy to clean
As many parents will know that a pushchair can be expensive, which is why it's important to keep it looking good and functioning properly. Cleaning it regularly is the best method to do this. A thorough wipe down with warm soapy water should take away most dirt and marks but it's also a good idea to employ a brush and pipe for a hose (on the lowest setting) to reach the corners, the nooks and crannies of your pram/stroller. It is best to do this on an unseasonably warm, dry day. It is recommended to flip the stroller upside down and use a brush.
If you're worried about staining you can try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both of them can get rid of the most stubborn stains and neutralize odors. Regularly wiping down the surface with warm water can also keep mould from developing which is not just unpleasant, but also unsanitary for toddlers and babies to sit on.
One of the best tips to keep a stroller clean and in good working order is to go through the manual. It will give you useful information about how to assemble and dismantle your pushchair, as well as information about the materials. The manual will explain how to wash the fabric sections as well as the hood and other components of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least two times a weeks) and to check the air pressure in the tyres on a regular basis (normally specified in the manual).
The chassis and moving parts of the majority of pushchairs will wear in time due to their frequent use. This can lead to loose bolts and nuts, or even rust when left unattended. It's important to check your pushchair for signs of wear regularly. If there are any problems ensure that you notify the manufacturer as quickly as you can. This will keep your pushchair operating properly and will prevent any safety issues.
