Avoid dragging or scraping the carrier against rough surfaces to prevent fabric wear.

-
Keep sharp objects like jewelry or bag buckles away from the fabric to avoid snags.
How to wash the carrier
Wildride toddler carriers are not machine washable. To maintain their longevity, follow these handwashing instructions:
Hand washing
-
Prepare a lukewarm water bath – Fill a sink, tub, or basin with lukewarm water (below 30°C/86°F). Avoid hot water, as it may weaken the fabric fibers.
-
Use a mild detergent – Add a small amount of liquid detergent without optical brighteners to protect the color.
-
Gently clean the fabric – Submerge the carrier and swirl it gently to loosen dirt. Lightly rub any stained areas without scrubbing or using a brush.
-
Rinse thoroughly – Drain the soapy water and refill with clean water. Rinse until the water runs clear, avoiding a strong water stream to protect the fabric.
-
Press out excess water – Gently press the fabric to remove excess moisture without wringing or twisting. Use a towel to blot away remaining water.
-
Air dry in a shaded area – Hang or lay the carrier flat in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Drying the carrier
-
Avoid tumble drying or using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
-
Reshape the carrier while drying to maintain its structure.
-
Ensure the carrier is completely dry before storing it away.
Best practices for storing the carrier
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity.
-
Fold the carrier neatly instead of hanging it for long periods to avoid unnecessary stretching.
-
If storing long-term, place it in a breathable fabric bag rather than plastic to prevent moisture buildup.
By following these care guidelines, the carrier will remain in excellent condition. A little extra care keeps it looking great and feeling comfortable for years to come. If you’re looking for more toddler carrier care tips or have any questions, we’re happy to help!
