Advantages and disadvantages of eco-leather strollers

In anticipation of the birth of a baby, one of the most important topics for moms is the choice of stroller. If you encounter such a problem, then this article is for you. Today you will learn how to choose a stroller from eco-leather, consider in detail all the pros and cons, you can compare all the pros and cons.

Strollers of this material are gaining increasing popularity. This is easily explained by its practicality, aesthetics and functionality. Eco-leather looks expensive, stylish and always advantageously stands out against the background of other models. By its properties, this material is similar to genuine leather. Due to this, eco-leather has become simply indispensable material for practical mothers.

Eco-leather is also called PVC or leatherette. This material has a very durable polymer coating. The most common polymer is PVC. The prefix "eco" says the absence of harmful components in the composition.

Eco-leather strollers have undoubted advantages.

• Suppose you have soiled the fabric stroller upholstery. Of course, it would have to be washed, while the eco-leather case can simply be cleaned with a damp cloth. It only takes a few minutes of your time (as opposed to washing and drying fabric upholstery). It will be necessary to solve another problem that has appeared: how to walk with the child while the cover dries.
• Another advantage can be considered the appearance and presentability of eco-leather strollers. From the outside, such options look expensive and beautiful, although at the price they are not much more expensive than fabric analogues. If you compare with a stroller made of genuine leather, then it can be noted that the cost of products from eco-leather will be several times less. Especially popular are black models.
• The functionality of this material provides additional competitiveness. Such strollers are highly frost resistant. Even in the most frosty days, you can not worry about the fact that the child will freeze.

• Another advantage of eco-leather is that during the rain you can not use a rain cover, because the material does not pass water. Fabric strollers have to be further protected when wet.
• Moreover, the eco-leather is quite resistant to tearing and abrasion. It is also worth noting that this material is absolutely safe for children. There are no toxic substances in its composition, so it does not cause allergies.

It is necessary to identify several disadvantages that may face young mothers. Eco-leather strollers are designed for the cold season, and for this reason they keep warm very well. In the hot season in a wheelchair of such material, the child can be stuffy. Recently, however, manufacturers have begun to create models of wheelchairs with a removable top and a retractable cape, as well as with mesh windows for airing, which solves the problems associated with high temperatures. Of course, such models are somewhat more expensive than standard ones.

In addition, although the material keeps warm, but the stroller itself, which has special lining or a backpack, freezes over during the winter period.It will be necessary to purchase an additional mattress or blanket so that the child does not overcool.

Now it is worth talking a little about what is needed in order for the stroller to serve you as long as possible and not to look good. It's very simple: you must follow a few rules.

In case of a stain on the eco-leather, take a simple soft cloth or a damp cloth and gently wipe the contaminated area. To prevent damage to the material, gently wipe the contaminated area, and then wipe the product thoroughly with a dry cloth.

If simple water does not help to cope with complex pollution, use a mild soap solution. Do not wait until the stain dries, in this case it will be much more difficult to cope with it.

When cleaning the surface from contamination that appears, use only soft cloths, avoid strong mechanical impact and brushes. When the stain completely disappears, be sure to wipe the product with a dry cloth.

Do not use cleaning products that contain acid, chlorine, or powder. Corrosive particles of these substances can damage the eco-leather, and powders can damage the smooth surface of the stroller. To get rid of old stains, use a 20% alcohol solution, then wipe the surface with a damp cloth and do not forget to wipe it dry.

In case of persistent dirt, purchase special stain removers for this. Do not forget: if you overdo it with abrasives, you can discolor or scratch the material.

The most recent rule: to keep the eco-leather stroller for a long time aesthetic, you can use a special water-repellent impregnation for genuine leather. It is recommended to buy impregnation from a trusted manufacturer.

Summing up, I would like to note a few nuances that are worth paying attention to when choosing an eco-leather stroller. Often sellers downplay the merits of this material and come up with various myths.

For example, that eco-leather releases toxins with strong heating and high air temperature. This statement is incorrect, since the porous material of the eco-leather passes air and moisture is not absorbed. This could be said about leatherette, but it has nothing to do with eco-leather.

Another common myth is fragility. This is all again due to the attribution of the properties of the leather substitute eco-leather. Leatherette is not so long, and the eco-leather life is much longer. As mentioned earlier, the main thing is the proper care and storage of the stroller.

One of the concerns of mummies when choosing eco-leather strollers is the white color of the marquise. However, the colors of such materials are very different: from light to dark. This does not affect the comfort of the baby, and even caring for white material does not cause trouble.

In addition, the obvious advantage of eco-leather strollers is the price. It is worth making an emphasis on this again. It is in the middle price segment and is available for every customer. This material is much cheaper than natural leather, and a large selection of colors will please even the most demanding esthete.

There is one more thing that future parents should know about. Strollers of leather or leatherette choose because of their features repel dirt and water. This is due to the high density of the material structure.If any substance is applied to such a surface, it is enough to wipe it with a damp cloth and it looks like new.

Sellers often emphasize this to persuade parents to purchase more expensive strollers. But you already know that, according to its characteristics, eco-leather is not at all inferior to its competitors, it is very easy to clean. When buying, you should not believe the persuasion of sellers and make a choice against the model you like. The use of this material allowed the manufacturers of wheelchairs to produce products of any color. This makes it possible to find exactly the stroller of which you are dreaming.

The last myth that can often be heard is a strong smell. This is also unreliable information. Dermatin really smells very unpleasant (while it is new), but then the smell disappears (at work or in a store). Ecoskin is odorless initially. This means that the next fictional minus of this material - the tricks of competitors.

Eco-leather strollers are very beautiful, they confidently entered today's fashion. However, many have doubts about the quality of this material and its durability, especially in the summer season. Indeed, there are many comments on the Internet, the authors of which consider this material not only inappropriate, but even harmful. We were able to answer the most common myths, and whether these accusations are fair - now you will be judged.

Is it hot in a eco-leather stroller? You will find the answer to this question in the next video.
