I did so much research before buying my buggy off ebay last year and I have really been showing it off to anyone that would listen from parents and childminders, to the children and even old ladies who have commented when I have been using it in the "pram mode"!
But... I have started to have trouble with it! Does anyone else have one and how do you find it?
I have been using it for nearly a year without any trouble at all. But this last week it has been so horrible to push! The front wheels keep going in different directions when they are set to swivel. The first few times I pulled the buggy back and pushed forward again which straightened them up and it was fine. But towards the end of the week it was so bad that I had to hold my hands down the sides of the handle rather than the top bar and push really hard down to make it go straight! Obviously this was a pain and hurt my wrists and arms. And I was only using it with the top seat too (although with a heavy 2 yr old). I had taken him to the market to choose some fruit but it was such a pain I had to leave staright after getting fruit as it was just too much for my arms! I keep checking the locks in case 1 of the wheels has locked and therefore causing the problem but it hasn't.
I really don't want to be buying a new buggy again! It was hard enough to get my oh to agree to me buying a new car seat the other day!
Any ideas as to what might be the solution to my problem???
