Your stroller has seen better days. After heavy rotation on city sidewalks, up and down subway stairs and through multiple spilled juice boxes, it’s time for a makeover.

Babesta Cribz will give that beloved Bugaboo a “facelift,” whether it’s for a new child or a new season of wear and tear. Pop by the store for diagnosis, and a stroller stylist will suggest some common cosmetic fixes, from freshening up the fabric to changing the wheels or ordering replacement parts (although these pram plastic surgeons are not for serious safety issues). Or get it updated for spring and summer with a mosquito net, rain cover or canopy. Average costs range from about $125 to $300, which is cheaper than trading it in for a new model

Just make sure it ages gracefully.

Maclaren’s Soho store is introducing its newest limited edition line featuring the designs of Mina Perhonen, the house headed by forward-thinking Japanese designer Akira Minagawa.

Get it now, while you still have a leg up on your friends in Fort Lee.

The stroller is one thing you can’t toss in with the weekly dry cleaning. But you paid good money for that name-brand pram, and you’d like to keep it clean.
