Our stroller wheels have gotten really squeaky. I’d imagine this is something that can be fixed with oil. What oil do people recommend?

Good question!

I use this for anything house related https://a.co/d/gtDoOF0

Silicone lube. Better for plastics in general.

Almost any light oil will work.

(Yes, technically used cooking oil can be used, but there are loads of things that work)

If it sees a lot of dust and dirty during use, a dry lube would avoid attracting more grit and making things worse.

(Lightning or 3-in-One "100% dry to touch" are a couple I keep on hand for those conditions)

Oh, really good point. This stroller does get exposed to a lot of dust from trails.

Very similar to the situation I had. (Central Arizona desert)

Not recommended to oil your baby.

Depends on what exactly squeaks. I olied half of a stroller once, only to find out it was a brake which needed cleaning and alignment 😁

I suppose I’m gonna have to take a really careful look at this thing 😅

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention I even bought quite expensive new set of wheels before realizing the real issue 😅
