If your child is wearing a puffy winter coat, the 7AM Enfant Cocoon (shop family-owned/shop Amazon) may be helpful in keeping them warm when riding in the car seat. This "shower cap" style cover helps to stop the wind and snow from blowing over your child's hands and face in the car. The Cocoon is safe for car seats and can be worn with thin coats as long as there isn't too much puff. It's not the best choice for taxi/Uber rides, however, since it blocks the car seat's seat belt route.

A similar alternative is the Patagonia Hi-Loft Down Hoody (shop family-owned/shop Amazon) for toddlers and infants. This jacket is insulated, has a hood and is made from recycled 600-fill-power down. It's extremely warm in cold weather. While it's suitable for use in the car seat when sized appropriately, you'll need to compress the puffs when tightening the harness straps.

The KidCozy II is another option. It is an insulated blanket made of fleece with holes for necks and hands. It is compatible with strollers for infants, car seats and baby carriers (facing in or out) and is suitable for infants to 4 years old.

Removal of mildew and mold

Mold is a fungus that thrives on organic matter, usually in damp and dark conditions. The spores can create an unpleasant musty odor and can be difficult to get rid of. If the mould is not removed, it can continue to expand and grow. To prevent this, it is important to keep the area clean. The first step is to clean any dirt and debris that has accumulated from the fabric surface. This can be done manually or using the vacuum cleaner that has an adaptable 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 a scrub brush. This should be done outside in a well-ventilated area and wearing a mask to avoid inhaling mould and spores. After cleaning the fabric you can spray it with a mildew-remover or a dilute solution of white vinegar. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and will not harm the fabric or other components of your pushchair. If you aren't able to remove the mold from the fabric's surface it might be necessary to dry and scrub the area using the aid of a dehumidifier.

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

If you're having trouble getting rid of stains that are difficult to remove or mould, try MARBLELIFE(r) Mold and Mildew Stain Remover. This product is six times more effective than brands that you purchase in stores that have been sitting on the shelves for months. Just-in-time production guarantees maximum effectiveness of this product at the time it is used.

Cleaning

A car seat or pushchair newborn can be quite dirty item to clean, particularly when it's used for outdoor adventures and has been dragged by food crumbs, mud and other sand. A good start is to vacuum away loose dirt using a crevice attachment or simply use a brush to smooth out any nooks and crevices. You can also spray some Clorox Free and Clear Multi-Surface Spray Cleaner, or a similar product, then use a cloth to work it into any fabric section like the basket, the hood or seat.

Review the care instructions for any marks or stains to see if you can machine wash them. Otherwise, a bucket of hot soapy water and gentle baby-friendly detergent should suffice. You could use a damp sponge to get rid of any marks that are difficult to remove and leave to dry in the sun (which will also help lighten the stains).

If you have an inflatable pushchair that has removable fabric parts, like seats or hoods be sure to clean and dry them thoroughly.

The frame or the chassis might require a little more focus than the fabric components. If you spot mould spores appearing on the plastic, you must immediately take action to stop the spores from spreading to your child during their sleep. This can be done with the use of vinegar and water which can break down bacteria and can be washed off. For difficult-to-access or delicate areas, an old toothbrush can aid in getting into the tight corners and gaps.

If you have stains that are stubborn, add a little bicarbonate soda to your wash or apply baking soda as a solution. This will not only neutralise smells, but will also help lift stains that a first wash might have missed.

Stores

A good pushchair must have ample exterior and interior storage to hold all the essentials like drinks, snacks and toys. The main compartment of the pushchair should be big enough to accommodate a tablet or laptop. There should also be a smaller compartment for smaller items such as phones, keys or other baby toys. Some pushchairs even have a hidden storage compartment under the seat that is great to keep these items out of sight when baby is asleep.

A travel system bundle is an excellent option for new parents since it lets you purchase car seats and strollers together in one purchase. The best travel systems include adaptors that allow the car seat and stroller to be linked to one another. This makes it easier to transfer a sleeping child from the vehicle into the stroller.

In our tests, we discovered that the best combos come with a simple process of connection that almost installs itself. This is a major advantage over combinations that require a strap attachment in a subsequent step, which can lead errors. In fact, combinations with straps scored lower in our evaluations of ease of use.

Some pushchairs are also equipped with a footmuff, which is perfect for winter. It is important to ensure that the footmuff you select is compatible with your car seat. Also, make sure it has a hood which will protect baby from the elements.

There are numerous accessories for pushchairs like rain covers and a footmuff. Some of these are essential and others may be optional according to your requirements. A rain cover will shield your baby from the weather while you're out and about. A footmuff will keep them warm during the winter months.

New parents also appreciate baskets, changing bags, and cup holders. The right pushchair and accessories will make life with a newborn baby easier, so be sure to research all the options.
