Stroller Maintenance: The Monthly Check You Should Do

Tyria LockhartTyria Lockhartยท

A stroller is a rolling machine, and like any machine it needs a monthly check to stay safe and smooth. Five minutes of maintenance prevents the squeaks, wobbles, and stuck wheels that build up slowly.

Run through the quick checklist.

  • Tighten any loose screws and bolts
  • Check the brakes engage fully on both wheels
  • Inflate air tires to the pressure printed on the side
  • Lubricate sticky hinges and clean the wheels

A monthly once-over keeps the stroller rolling like new. Catch the small issues early and they never become the reason you have to buy a replacement.

A monthly once-over takes five minutes and prevents the slow decline that shortens a stroller’s life. The check that catches a loose bolt early is the one that keeps every ride safe.
