Care And Maintenance - Mamas & Papas Pixo Product Manual

Care and Maintenance

• A pushchair has many moving parts, and surfaces which move against each other, over time
these surfaces can become dry or even attract dirt or dust. By simply cleaning your pushchair
chassis on a regular basis and lightly spraying the moving parts with a silicon spray your
pushchair will fold and push better for longer.
• Different environments can present different challenges to your pushchair, a visit to the beach
can increase salt corrosion to parts, but so too can a wet or snowy day, so again by cleaning
and lubricating your pushchair you can help fight the effects of the environment on your
pushchair.
• When a pushchair is in use, with all its locking mechanisms in place, its a solid rigid item
designed for carrying your child. However, when folded its the exact opposite, impacts can
knock it out of alignment, or putting things on top of it could twist it out of shape, so we
recommend taking a little more care with it when folded for storage.
• Hanging bags on the handles of the pushchair not only creates a risk of tipping, but it can also
cause excessive and uneven wear, as weight here causes the chassis to twist as handles are
not designed to be a load bearing part.
• Just as with extra weight in the basket, or bags on handles, the use of a buggy-board reduces
the life of your product by increasing the weight on the product, but by also putting weight
and strain onto parts in a direction they were not designed to experience. Consequently use of
these products invalidates the warranty on pushchairs.
• Fabric care: All the Mamas & Papas pushchairs fabrics are shower resistant. Should your
pushchair become wet, do not fold the hood or apron when you take it inside. Always allow the
fabrics to dry naturally away from strong heat sources such as fires, radiators and out of direct
sunlight.
• Whilst fabrics are carefully selected and tested, washing, wear and normal exposure to bright
sunlight may cause their colour to change.
• The exposed edges of fabrics are often the first to wear and fray, remember this when storing
or transporting your pushchair and accessories.
• Light soiling to the pushchair can be removed with a damp sponge and a mild detergent.
The fabric cover can be sponged clean using a mild detergent if necessary.
