I have this stroller in silver and it is so dirty because when you fold it the wheels touch the canopy. You can't take it apart to wash it, does anyone have any recommendations?

I had the same problem, but you can take the top canopy off. There are two plastic pieces that slice off and the whole thing can be removed but you can only wash in a front load washer, not a drop in as the plastic pieces will break in a top load. Place on the most delicate cycle. It won't get completely clean but about 80 percent of the gunk will wash out. Once clean I sprayed the whole thing with silicone, the kind you use to make work boots waterproof which I got from a camping supply store. Now it just wipes clean.

YES! It's totally annoying. I assembled it correctly. The only solutions are A) lock the wheels--but then it's practically impossible to control/maneuver the stroller or B) add more weight to the front of the stroller-or have your dog sit near the front, or C) add another dog to your stroller. All options are out for me, and probably you, too. So, my last resort was to put a thicker crate pad down to absorb the shakiness so my dog won't be as annoyed as I am!!

I'm replying to see if I can get this discussion going again. Has anyone found a good rain cover for this stroller?

I find it very easy to fold down/up. It's similar to those dashboard/windshield sun shields? There's this twist-twist-snap thing that you do when you fold them up. However, I find it convenient just to leave the sunshade on my MacLaren, and pull it back (like the way you do with the original canopy on the MacLaren) -- and the stroller will still fold nicely that way. I hardly take the sunshades off.

They sell a special solution to wash it with, but I think you can use a mild detergent on it. Something like Dawn. I haven't had to wash mine yet, so I can't really make a recommendation.

Hello! I am afraid that I have not looked for a stroller bag. I normally wrap it up on a plastic bag. If you do this, remove the overhead cover. Mine got broken on the way. Take the advise. Regards,

I have the quartz and it does not get dirty easily at all. Have had the stroller for a year and never had to do anything but wipe crumbs off of it.

Yes!! While I've noticed it's not as bad as my chicco stroller was. It does the same thing on the shade.

It's been years since I bought this, & never took them off, they're worn, but never replaced. I keep directions. FOR REAR WHEELS-- You have to pop off the collet cover (button) on the outside of the wheels first, then take off collet (piece under cover). Hold axle & pull off wheel. To put together--do opposite of..... -Fit brake teeth extension to wheel if it is not pre-molded. -Slide wheel assembly onto axle. -Fix small plastic collet onto axle end and ensure that the key in axle groove is correctly located in the slot of the collet. -Fit cover to collet by firmly pressing the cover into place. Repeat for other side. FOR FRONT WHEELS --read bottom Fit the footplate into place by pushing the 4 plastic studs into the holes in the frame. Screw the 4 screws firmly into place. Remove the plastic packing from the front forks and dispose of them safely. Loosen the quick release outer nuts and washers from the wheel's axle but do not remove. Fit the front wheel into the slots on the front forks at the same time fit the pins into the holes on the forks. Make sure that the quick release lever is in the open position and finger tighten both nuts. Push the lever to the closed position to tighten securely. Pull the wheel to ensure it is fitted correctly. Before the nuts are tightened please ensure that the front wheel is fitted parallel with the two rear wheels. Incorrect alignment could cause the stroller to veer to one side. *******To remove the wheel, push the lever to open and loosen that nuts enough to free the washer pins from the forks. Was trying to scan the pics but wouldn't work. Hope this helps. No phone but PETGEARINC.COM might help. Lisa

I have the light blue one- so far it's been ok! I've been using it for 7 months now. I'm assuming that I can wash it however I have not tried. You can call uppababy customer service with concerns- they are extremely helpful. Good luck!

Hmmm .....I popped mine out for cleaning and it popped back in... Did something chip off? Like a little piece of plastic that snaps it in place. I will look again for you when I go out today and use the stroller.

My stroller was great for a year, but now the basket is fraying and I don't think it is repairable. I think for the price it should last longer. I have only used it as directed and have used it for my 9lb Maltese, which is way below the weight limit.

We just had the same thing happen to our stroller... flat spot after only 3 times of use. Have sent an e-mail to the Seller inquiring about the next step. Will update when we hear back.

I have not cleaned mine as yet but I would worry about it becoming very wrinkled. Mine arrived badly wrinkled and I'm very disappointed in it. Let me know how you make out washing it.Hopefully it takes care of the wrinkles. I find it very warm. Have to take it off even on the coldest nights. Can't imagine using it in the summer.

The stroller comes with whatever color combination you purchased. I bought this exact same stroller silver and black but ended up purchasing the black color kit because I noticed this particular color got dirty easily.

I've never tried to leave it permanately. But I think It depends on how your stroller folds. I take mine on and off between uses and it's never a fuss to do so. Just a couple ties and some Velcro and its on and off.

It is well worth buying, by the way. It really protects the stroller when flying, from all the mud and dirt and rain during transport. I got mine all dirty, on a trip to Mexico couple months ago, and it wasn't even bad weather. But the stroller was perfectly clean. The bag you just wash with some soap and water. It's really great, wise investment.
