Default Fecking pushchairs

OK, maybe I am the only one with this problem. I (We) have had loads of pushchairs and we get flats all the time. Due to the dog walking we do and nasty paths we walk along our pushchairs always get flat tyres. The 3 wheelers are the best for us due to the terrain we have to walk across. Has anybody ever filled the tubes with tyre flat or expandable foam because that is what I am thinking of doing

would it not be easier to get wheels that aren't pneumatic?

or is this a posh chair that you can't really afford to replace because the wife would go bonkers?

how do you swap the tyres over when they go flat then?

is there a valve you can use the n flat tyre gunk in or not?

Slime is rubbish, use Ultraseal, on your car as well, been using it over 10 years now.
