How to Troubleshoot and Maintain a Peg Perego Stroller

Peg Perego makes top-of-the-line strollers that can endure for a long time. But even nice strollers encounter problems after a lot of use. Maintaining your stroller in good condition will make you happier with the product for longer. Be sure to keep the stroller well oiled and clean. If you have problems with pushing the stroller, the blame most likely lies with the wheels. Examine the wheels for obstructions and see if they are locked or damaged.

Instructions

  1. Maintenance

    • 1

      Lubricate all moving parts with light-grade oil. This includes wheel suspensions, opening and closing parts, and any hinges. Repeat this step every three to four months, depending on how much rain and snow you use the stroller in.

    • 2

      Lubricate parts immediately if they begin to stiffen nor squeak. Not doing so could cause impressive damage to the stroller.

    • 3

      Remove the upholstery if it is stained or damaged. Hand-wash it in cold water using mild detergent. Hang it to dry.

    Troubleshooting

    • 4

      Make sure the back wheels are locked to prevent them from swiveling if the stroller is difficult to push. Make sure the front wheels are unlocked. Your stroller, like a car, steers with its front wheels while the back wheels remain straight.

    • 5

      Lock all the wheels on rough, uneven surfaces. Locking the wheels will help you to steer the stroller straight.

    • 6

      Lubricate the wheel housing and suspension if the stroller is lulling to one side. One wheel may not roll as smoothly as the other. If lubrication doesn't work, see if the vertical axle is bent. If it is, you may have to send the stroller in for service.

Tips & Warnings

  • Never force any parts that won't move. If you have to force something due to invisible obstructions, your stroller probably needs professional service.

  • Never put stroller upholstery in the dryer. In doing so, you may cause the upholstery to shrink, and it will no longer fit on the stroller.
