What to Look for when Buying a Used Bugaboo Donkey

[@mrs_xgaming]

During my purchase, I noticed the adjustable handle bar to go up and down gets stuck on the last top high position, but we managed to put it back and adjust it to the point we like. And would never adjust it again. We bought a 2014 one. Had carseat adaptors, bassinets with inserts, extra canopy, 2 regular seats, with baby blue canopy, bassinet foot muff, side basket with cover, and an extra set of tires. I love the tires because of it being air, and including the pump. All for $200. But I guess that's the only issue. The handle bar going up and down. Everything else works fine. The seller said his wife wanted and and they bought it, but she used it for only less then 6 months and for years it's been in the garage. Then sold to me.

I just got a second hand one and it's a little still to open where it was only ever used as a mono. What sort of oil do I use to loosen it please.

We bought one a couple days ago after hacina checked this vídeo before. Everything seemed fine and it has the new wheels just changed and we noticed back home that when we run fast with it the front wheels go wobbly and Kind of crazy. 😢 it doesn’t happen if we block them in advance but… we are worried this might become an issue and don’t know how to fix it. We also found out that one of the pastic “legs” that attach the chair to the chasis is in fact a bit cracked. We don’t know if we need to change the whole structure or just that piece. Besides that, it works fine and is a good stroller 😌

Try using Food Industry Grease / White Grease for the front wheels as they fit into the fork, it may help if the housings aren't too worn. The cracked feet on the frame is too bad, but its worth knowing that this doesn't usually affect the safety of using the frame anyway, the locking point is farther up in the shaft. :)

I’ve just bought a Bugaboo Gecko from EBay but it doesn’t have a rain hood or a sun canopy , now I have looked on line and I think it’s a discontinued line so I think I’m going to have an issue getting parts for it

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Yeah, that's a very old model (like classic muscle cars for Bugaboo). Cameleon gear (especially the earlier models) should fit fine though without too much DIY. :)

I found a used donkey but the chassis doesn't seem to stay closed when in self-standing mode. Is that something that is fixable?

Wish I saw this before wasting $700 :( I got home with the pram & noticed the fram is super wabbly & I don't feel comfortable having my daughter & soon newborn in it. She wouldnt take the pram back either. :(

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

That's too bad, hope you found a solution :)
