Regular Maintenance On The Baby Carriage
Are you a pram-pusher? If so, oiling the pram every few» months is '-the most important job. Take off the caps of the wheels and pack them with grease of the vaseline sort; or you can squirt ordinary lubricating oil through the holes in the hubs themselves. Thanks partly to their bouncing occupants and partly to rough road and kerb drops, prams nuts and bolts work loose and may lead to trouble; so test them regularly with the spanner and tighten up loose ones. Always leave the hood open when you put the pram away. If it is left folded it tends to crack. A rub with saddle soap now and again helps to keep the material waterproof and supple.
