This fixed my stroller; thank you!

[@leerayjeankens304]

I was going to try wd40 but now I'm gonna find thicker grease. Thanks

[@estherdavis4802]

I have a babytrend freestyle and the wheels seem to rotate too much, in that they seem to turn to the side while going. makes for really wild ride wobbling back and forth, makes it kind of hard to control

[@islamicReminder5119]

[@GinjaFajr]

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Hi , can you please share how to remove mimosa stroller front wheel

[@user-vf1xs9yx9j]

I’m having real difficulties removing a front wheel - I press the button but just can’t pull out the fork, any tips (one fork removed easy so I know how to remove, it just seems jammed) Thanks!

[@johntiesi5145]

Can you respond with the name of the recommended lubricants in your video, I would like to make sure I’m trying the right products. Thank you, also, enjoyed the video

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Biral FIG is best for the lubricant solution, but check out this video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH6mf36El618eq8

I'm always having problems with the front wheels locking up. First it was a Chicco Liteway and now a KinderKraft Evolution. On the occasion of the Chicco Liteway in 2018 we decided to switch to a Chicco London and the dual wheels never braked (a success). But now, with KinderKraft I don't know which stroller to choose. Would a more expensive stroller guarantee not having this problem of the front wheel locking up? Are dual wheels (Baby Jogger City Mini 2, for example) proof against this kind of problem?

Hey. Thanks for your videos. I’m wondering if it’s a lost cause if my parts are very rusted??

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

ball-bearings and parts that are rusted together can often be a lost cause unfortunately, but other than this, rust can be removed. :) See this video for methods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ22dmOjYs5-h5I :)

stroller front wheel is chicco and it doesn't spin at all it's walking in a straight line how can i fix it please?

[@glammedbynatalia]

I have major issue with the maxi Cosi. They don’t turn well at all. To the point I hate my stroller so I got a second hand Cruz and I happy buy the other one is just sitting there :(

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

A little bit of lubrication in the front wheel housings might help, at least if you're prepping it for sale :)

[@autumnbailey5503]

That's why I'm here as well! The maxi cosi is garbage 😭😭😭 do you have a better recommendation? What are you using now?

[@sunitanar4242]

I have a hauck double pram. The pram always swerves to the left someones the one front wheel comes off the ground. Any idea what the problem might be?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Yes, I can't be sure without seeing it, but this sort of problem ussualy means that the chassis has symmetry issues like bent bars or loose connection points, unequal suspension, not enough air in one of the tires etc.

Hi there. I just bought a new Uppababy Cruz V2. I’ve noticed one of the front wheels has a mild mild squeak when turning (swiveling). It’s coming from inside where the axle clicks into the frame. I think I just need a lubricant. I have only taken the stroller out on one test run so far and I really love it. Just want to be sure to make sure the moving parts are maintained to get the most outta this new stroller for a long time. What is your recommendation?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Right on, I would try first with silicon spray, and if this doesn't fix it, go for something thicker, like Biral F.I.G. :)

[@Thecraftyblacksheep]

The Stroller Workshop I’m in the USA. I looked into Biral F.I.G and it’s not possible to get for me. I found a brand called Super Lube and ordered some. Hopefully will be here soon

[@glammedbynatalia]

I need with the maxi cosi.

[@msTV2011]

any possible link on the FIG?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I'll generate a link in the future, but for now just search Biral Fig on Amazon / Ebay, there are several distibutors :)

[@johndangle3956]

Not available on Amazon nor eBay

[@karolinawiecek9666]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo could you please help me where can I buy these product in UK? Or any similar one good as the one you showed? I do have a big problem with front wheels in my uppababy cruz and need to fix them ASAP... Please help!

[@edithenglard5865]

biral fig is impossible to find - would super lube multipurpose synthetic grease work?

[@justinedeleyer4894]

Can I use wd40? :)

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

If you have front wheel swivel issues (wheels hang to the side or wobble f.ex.) then it's better to use a thicker grease, ideally one that is a little less slippery like White Grease / Food Industry Grease. :)

[@daddishesnetwork8920]

Dumb question would Vaseline work

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It's worth trying. In a pinch, I've used Vaseline in the past, usually mixed with a quick spurt of wd40. :)
