Product Information
Full details
This replacement inner tube is designed for parents and caregivers using Mothercare Extreme pushchairs and prams who need a reliable solution for a flat or damaged tyre. The key benefit is the bent Schrader valve, which allows for effortless inflation using standard car tyre pumps; however, users must verify their specific tyre sidewall size markings before purchase to ensure compatibility with the 12.5-inch diameter range.

FAQs
Will this fit all Mothercare pushchairs?
This tube is designed for the Mothercare Extreme model. Please check the sidewall of your existing tyre to confirm it matches the 12.5 x 2.25 or 12.5 x 2.50 sizing.
Do I need special tools to install this?
You will generally need a set of plastic tyre levers to remove the tyre casing from the rim safely.
What is a Schrader valve?
A Schrader valve is the standard valve type found on most car, motorcycle, and bicycle tyres, allowing it to be inflated at gas stations or with standard home pumps.
How much pressure should I put in the tyre?
Consult the recommendation printed on the side of your pram tyre, as maximum pressure varies by manufacturer.
Can this be used on wheels without a bent valve?
If your rim has a large enough hole, it may fit, but the bent valve is specifically intended to aid access on wheels where a straight valve is obstructed.
Troubleshooting
Tube will not hold air after installation
Check for sharp debris like thorns or glass still embedded in the interior of the tyre casing.
Valve is difficult to reach with pump
Ensure the bent portion of the valve is angled outward away from the wheel hub.
Tube appears too large or small
Verify the tyre size printed on the rubber wall of the original tyre; this tube is specifically for 12.5-inch series wheels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installing, verify your tyre sidewall says 12.5 x 2.25 or 12.5 x 2.50. To maintain the life of your new inner tube, avoid over-inflation, which can lead to thinning of the rubber walls. Periodically check the pressure using a standard gauge, as prams are frequently used on uneven terrain which can lead to micro-punctures. Keep the valve cap secured to prevent debris and road grit from damaging the internal valve seal.
