Dirty wheels - the main problem when using a stroller in the autumn-winter period. Returning home from a walk, you have to wash the wheels every time, especially if you leave the transport not in the stairwell, but in the apartment. Dirty wheels can stain the car's trunk.
This problem has a simple solution - the use of covers on the wheels of the stroller. Such an accessory can greatly facilitate the life of a young mother who, without washing the wheels, has enough worries.
How to choose covers for wheelchairs?
Protective covers for wheelchairs are different. Some models of wheelchairs are initially completed with them. However, most cases, as a rule, are universal and not tied to specific models of wheelchairs. This means that you can pick up suitable covers by simply measuring the diameter of the wheels.
In size, the following cases for wheels with a diameter of:
- 12-15 cm;
- 15-25 cm;
- 25-29 cm;
- 30-35 cm;
- 35-40 cm.
The breadth of choice depends on the size of the specific manufacturer. You can buy as 4 identical covers on wheels (for example, on a stroller or "transformer" ), and a set of cases of different diameters. Often, they buy separately covers for rotary wheels or covers for a three-wheeled stroller.
By the way, at desire it is possible to sew covers on wheels of a carriage and independently. They are made of a dense water-repellent fabric. Here there are two options - on elastic bands and velcro.
How to use covers for wheelchairs?
Covers are worn on the wheels before you need to roll the stroller into an apartment or put it in the trunk. Carefully put the cover on the wheel and tighten the cord so that it is as tight as possible to the wheel, and you can safely roll the wheelchair into the room. Neither wet snow, nor dried up dirt will not stain your linoleum, laminate or parquet in the apartment.
Again going for a walk, just take the stroller out of the doorway or onto the street, unscrew and shake out the covers and go for a walk! Bad weather now is not terrible to your wheels.
