Quick answer
To fit pushchair puncture proof wheels, you simply swap the existing air tyres with the solid PU replacements, ensuring each wheel clicks securely into place. No tools are needed, and the process takes just a few minutes per wheel.
Why choose puncture proof wheels?
Puncture proof wheels are made from solid hard rubber PU material, so you never have to worry about a flat tyre during a walk or holiday. They are ideal for rougher terrain where thorns or sharp stones could damage air-filled tyres.
The trade-off is a slightly firmer ride compared to air tyres, but the convenience of never stopping to fix a puncture makes them a popular choice for active families.
Step-by-step installation guide
- Prepare your pushchair: Place your pushchair on a flat, stable surface. Engage the brakes to prevent movement while you work. Remove any accessories that might obstruct the wheels. Common mistake: Forgetting to engage the brakes can cause the pushchair to roll away when you remove a wheel.
- Remove the existing air tyres: Press the release button or lever on the wheel hub (usually located near the axle) and pull the wheel straight off. Some models may require you to depress a small tab. Repeat for all four wheels. Checkpoint: If a wheel is stuck, do not force it; check if the release mechanism is fully engaged.
- Attach the puncture proof wheels: Align the new solid PU wheel with the hub so that the axle slots into the centre hole. Push firmly until you hear a click or feel it lock into place. Repeat for each wheel. Common mistake: Not pushing the wheel all the way in can cause it to detach during use. Always listen for the click.
- Test the installation: Spin each wheel by hand to confirm it rotates freely and is securely attached. Then gently rock the pushchair side to side to check for any wobble. Checkpoint: If a wheel wobbles or doesn't spin smoothly, remove it and reattach, ensuring the axle is fully seated.
- Maintain your wheels: Inspect the wheels periodically for debris lodged in the tread. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using oil or lubricant on the solid PU material, as it can attract dirt. Common mistake: Using lubricant on solid PU wheels can make them slippery and attract grime, reducing traction.
