But let’s be honest, babies and toddlers aren’t known for keeping things clean! From biscuit crumbs to nappy mishaps, mess is part of the package. That’s why regular cleaning and proper care are essential to keep your Doona and Liki Trike in top shape.

In this blog post, we’ll cover easy tips for cleaning your Doona Car Seat & Stroller and looking after your Liki Trike, so your gear stays safe, fresh, and ready for every adventure.

Caring for Your Doona Car Seat & Stroller

Your Doona Car Seat & Stroller is a clever, all-in-one solution designed for both travel and convenience. To help it last as long as possible, follow these essential care tips:

·       Check for damage: If your Doona has been bumped, dropped, or knocked about, give it a quick inspection. Ensure all parts are functioning correctly before each use.

·       Always use the seat cover: The seat cover is designed for comfort and protection, never use the car seat without it in place.

Cleaning Your Doona Car Seat & Stroller

Here’s how to keep your Doona looking its best:

Seat Cover:

Remove the seat cover and machine wash on a cold cycle with mild detergent. Hang to dry and never bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Always check the care label on the seat pad.

Canopy & Shoulder Pads:

These can be cleaned the same way as the seat cover. Handle gently when removing and reattaching to preserve their shape.

Accessories (e.g. Winter Cover, Footmuff):

Most of these can go in the wash, but always check the individual care labels before you do.

Frame, Wheels, and Handlebar:

Wipe down with a warm, soapy cloth to remove dirt, mud, or sticky messes. A quick clean every week will keep your Doona looking good as new.

Storage Tip:

When not in use, or for long trips, store your Doona in our protective Travel Bag made from durable, water-repellent fabric, it keeps your stroller safe from dust, damp and scratches.

Caring for Your Liki Trike

The Liki Trike is the world’s most compact folding tricycle, and perfect for toddlers learning independence. Here’s how to keep it in tip-top condition:

·       Inspect regularly: Before each use, check for signs of damage, loose screws or missing parts. Address any issues straight away to ensure your child’s safety.

·       Lubricate moving parts: Use a small amount of PTFE lubricant on moving components to reduce wear and keep everything running smoothly.

·       Use on flat, stable surfaces: Liki is designed for pavements, decking and other smooth terrains. Avoid muddy paths, grassy parks or sandy areas to keep it rolling at its best.

·       Store in a dry space: Always store your Liki Trike in a cool, dry place away from damp or direct sunlight. For travel, the Liki Premium Storage Bag keeps it safe and tidy on the go.
