Stroller Care and Maintenance

Just like servicing your car or bicycle, prams and strollers also need regular maintenance checks. These checks can improve product performance, extend the life of your stroller and help to provide you and your children a safe and smooth journey. 

We recommend servicing your stroller every 6 months and completing an inspection once a month. To prolong the life of your stroller, a regular maintenance should be performed. 

Maintenance Checklist

  • INSPECT SAFETY DEVICES – tether strap, frame lock, harness, buckle and brakes and ensure all are in working order and free from dirt, sand and debris.
  • INSPECT - all connecting rivets and screws are secure.
  • MAKE SURE FOLDING JOINTS – are free of dirt dust and debris by cleaning with a damp cloth, allow to dry and lightly spray with a dry silicon lubricant. Please carefully read the lubricant instructions prior to use.
  • REMOVE WHEELS – and wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, sand or debris. Allow to dry and lightly spray the wheel pivot pin with a dry silicon lubricant to keep the wheels moving smoothly. Please carefully read the lubricant instructions prior to use.
  • ENSURE WHEN FOLDING AND STORING – to wipe down your stroller frame and allow to dry before storing in a dry place without direct sunlight.

General maintenance & repair

  • Ensure all safety devices, locks, harness and brakes are in working order.
  • Ensure all joints and folding areas move freely as intended.
  • Should any moving or locking parts become stiff or hard to operate, ensure these are free from tension or dirt by wiping clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, sand or debris. Allow to dry and lightly spray with a dry silicon lubricant. Please carefully read the lubricant instructions prior to use.
  • Ensure wheels are regularly cleaned with a damp cloth by removing dirt, sand or debris. Allow to dry and lightly spray the wheel pivot pin with a dry silicon lubricant to keep the wheels moving smoothly. Please carefully read the lubricant instructions prior to use.
  • Regularly spray all moving parts with a dry silicon lubricant. Please carefully read the lubricant instructions prior to use.
  • Ensure all connecting rivets and screws are secure. Tighten if required.
  • If there are compression marks on the tyres, use a domestic hair dryer to gently warm (DO NOT OVERHEAT) the tyre and the compression marks should slowly disappear.
  • To maintain the safety and longevity of the stroller, seek prompt repairs or replacement for bent, torn, worn or broken parts. Do not continue to use the stroller if unsafe.
  • All repairs should only be carried out by an authorised Britax/Steelcraft repairer. Only Britax/Steelcraft replacement parts should be used with the stroller. It may be unsafe to use parts supplied by another manufacturer.

TIPS

  • Do not store the stroller in your car for prolonged periods of time during summer as it may lead to damage to some of the plastics components.
  • Do not leave the stroller in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as colours of some fabrics may fade, and tyres may deteriorate.
  • Do not fold or store the stroller if damp or wet, as fabric may develop mould or mildew. Always store the stroller inside in a dry, well-ventilated area.
  • Do not place heavy objects on top of the stroller as it may alter the shape.
