Having quick-release wheels is particularly important because it allows you can easily clean off any mud that has dried or become wet.Some pushchairs have scissor folds, which is the place where the entire buggy folds in half, like a pair of scissors and then flattens into a long rectangular shape. This type of pushchair could be the easiest to unfold because you just have to lift the handle and then close the seat. However, it can be difficult to store in tight spaces and isn't suitable for use on public transport since it might not fit in smaller car boots.In addition to a scissor fold, there are pushchairs that fold into three or more sections, for example concertina. These pushchairs are the most compact when folded, but they aren't easy to carry and require two hands. When folded they can be difficult to store due to their large rectangular shape.

Foot brakes are the most commonly used and work by pressing the sole of a foot, which locks both rear wheels. This is a great choice for parents who must stop or slow down often. Hand brakes are available on jogger-style strollers, as well as three-wheeled joggers. They are more sensitive than foot brakes, and they can be used to alter the momentum during an exercise.

Certain fabrics can't be machine washed. If there's mud on the wheels, you can try using the pressure washer or hose to clean the dirt.

If your pushchair is in a damp, wet or mouldy condition for too long, it can damage the fabric and result in mildew and rot. If this happens, you should first scrub off any mildew or mould with a soft bristled brush. Then wash and rinse according to the instructions.
