The 7AM Enfant Coon (shop family owned/shop Amazon) can keep your child warm in the car seat if they are wearing a puffy coat.

Mould and mildew Removal

Mold is a fungus that is found on organic materials, typically in dark and damp areas. The spores can create an unpleasant musty odor and can be difficult to get rid of. If the mold isn't eliminated, it will continue to grow and spread. It is important to clean the area regularly. First, clean all loose dirt and debris from the surface. This can be done manually or by using the vacuum cleaner that has an adjustable nozzle attachment. This is a great opportunity to clean pockets, compartments and other areas that are difficult to reach.

Then, clean the entire surface using a clean cloth or scrub brush. It is important to do this outside in a well-ventilated space and preferably wearing a mask to prevent breathing in any mould or spores. After cleaning the fabric you can spray it with a mildew-removal or a diluted solution of white vinegar. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and it will not damage the fabric or other materials used in your pushchair. If you aren't able to remove the mold from the surface of the fabric, it may be necessary to dry and scrub the area with a dehumidifier.

After the fabric has been cleaned, it is a good idea to allow it to dry completely before placing it in storage. Place the fabric in a sunny area and spray it with anti-fungal spray. Milton makes a child-friendly version.

Cleaning

A car seat or a pushchair newborn can be a challenge to clean, especially if it has been used on outdoor trips, and has accumulated food crumbs, mud and other debris. A good start is to remove loose dirt with crevice attachments or use a brush to smooth out any nooks and crannies. Spray on Clorox Free and Clean Multi-Surface spray cleaners or similar products, then apply a soft cloth work the product into any fabric parts, such as the basket, seat or hood.

Review the care instructions for any marks or stains to see if you can machine wash them. If not, a bucket of hot soapy water and gentle baby-friendly detergent should suffice. You could use a damp sponge to remove any marks that are stubborn and leave to dry in the sun (which also helps lighten up stains).

Some pushchairs come with fabric sections like the hoods and seat supports which can be completely removed so that you can put them in the washing machine or wash them with hand washing. After they've been cleaned, lay them flat to dry so that they don't lose their shape. Make sure they're 100% dry before putting them back on your child's play equipment.

The frame or chassis of your pushchair may need a little more attention than the fabric parts. If you've noticed mold spores forming on the plastic, it's crucial to tackle this as soon as you can so that the spores don't be passed on to your child in their sleep. A solution of vinegar and water is the ideal solution as it breaks down the bacteria, and can be washed away. A toothbrush from the past is a great tool for reaching into difficult-to-access or sensitive areas.

For stains that don't be able to go away Try adding a little of bicarbonate of soda into the wash, or use baking soda to wash it off. This will not only neutralize smells, but will also help remove stains that a previous wash might have missed.

Storage

A quality pushchair will include plenty of outside and interior storage for all the essentials such as snacks, drinks and toys. The main compartment should be big enough to hold tablets or laptops, and there should also be an extra smaller compartment to store small items such as phones, keys, or other baby Accessories supplies. Some pushchairs come with hidden storage underneath the seat, which is perfect to store things when the baby is sleeping.

A travel system bundle can be a great choice for parents with young children, as it lets them purchase a car seat with a stroller all in one go.
