How to Care for a BOB stroller
a). Washing
Always wash the baby stroller with soap that’s not too strong and make sure that the water not too hot. Use a soft cloth dampened with soapy water to wipe the fabric and the plastic parts. After a wash, rinse with clean water and allow the fabric to dry before storing or using it.
b). Storing
Store the stroller in a well-aerated place to prevent it from picking dust and odors. Avoid storing it in areas where the Sun rays hit it directly. Rays from the Sun cause the plastic parts to crack, the fabric to fade and reduces the overall longevity of the stroller. The right place to store it is in the house, in a well-ventilated and dry room.
c). General Maintenance
Regularly lubricate the moving parts of your baby stroller to improve its motion efficiency and to prevent annoying friction and sounds coming from them.
Maintain a tire pressure that is suitable according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
To make the stroller last for a longer period of time and avoid accidents, always find any loose parts and tighten them.
