Product Care

"unlike children, phil&teds products like to stay clean."

sport/ e3 buggy (including double + twin)

buggy’s coat
The fabric is backed with a water-resistant coating. Brush off dirt. More intense cleaning can be done by hand, in warm water, using a mild natural soap. Rinse out soap. Do not use detergents or bleach. Air dry. Don’t leave the e3 out in the sun - the fabric is fade resistant but not fade proof (just like your kids!).

buggy’s body
We recommend that dirt is brushed off the frame and wheels regularly. Clean with a non-abrasive household cleaner and soft cloth. Wash off sand and salt after beach activity. (How would you like it if someone left sand in your knickers!!) Always dry frame if wet (no one likes soggy knickers!).

tyres and inner tube
The valve is car-size. We recommend 20 - 22 psi. Releasing air gives a softer ride, but lower pressure reduces tread life. New inner tubes and tyres are generally available (21/4” x 121/2” tyre) from your dealer, cycle or specialist wheel shops. Standard tyre kits can repair punctures. A flat tyre can result from grit holding the valve open; to check: inflate tyre, deflate rapidly, and re-inflate. Tyres and tubes are not under warranty.

rubber covers and grip
Take care to avoid damage to the foam rubber. To replace: undo snaps; depress the silver buttons and remove frame part. Replace, using soapy water for lubrication. Replace frame part; ensure silver buttons engage. The foam rubber is not under warranty.

inspect and maintain
Moving parts may need periodic lubrication. Inspect essential components for fraying (esp. webbing straps and safety harness), wear (esp. auto-locks, snap fasteners, button springs, tyres, plastic parts, zips and moving parts), security (esp. autolocks and caps which must not be loose) and freedom of movement (esp. wheels, nuts). Excessive wear can reduce effectiveness and safety.

fabric care and cleaning
The fabric is backed with a water-resistant coating. Do not use detergents or bleach to clean any part of the fabric. Simply brush off dirt using a light bristled brush. (Kids: don’t use dad’s shaving brush, he won't thank you…)
More intensive cleaning can be done by hand, in warm water, using a mild natural soap. Rinse out soap and air dry in a well ventilated space.
The fabric is fade resistant but not fade proof. Much like babies, exposure to direct sunlight can cause sun damage. (Prolonged exposure may leave the fabric as faded as grandad’s undies…)

frame care and cleaning
We recommend that dirt is brushed off the frame and wheels regularly. Clean with a non-abrasive household cleaner and soft cloth. Wash off sand and salt after beach activity and dry frame if wet.

routine inspection and maintenance
Moving parts may need periodic lubrication.
Inspect essential components for fraying (esp. webbing straps and safety harness); wear (esp.zips and plastic or moving parts); and security and freedom of movement (esp. wheels and nuts).
Much like knees, excessive wear can reduce the effectiveness of components.
