Sounds like the handle bar extender mechanism has broken internally and the Gas strut is faulty. This happened to mine. Both parts are readily available from Dorel UK 01842 763 281 (Mon – Fri, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm). They are the sole supplier of parts for Quinny. However, the Gas Strut is a pressurised mechanism and has to be replaced by Dorel. You will need to speak with them and arrange for the frame of the buggy to be sent to them (at your cost if out of warranty) and they will replace whatever parts you need plus do a full service.

yes it can go to www.buggypitstop.co.uk and speak to Fred they should be able to help you.

take off the basinette or seat

then, there are 2 knob, sticking out of the sides of the frame, about 6 inches below the handle, from the normal pushing position, hook yr fingers round them and slide them up the frame towards the handle

the handle will drop, then just up the frame from the cross bar under where the set is.

easy once you know how

if it still don't work, go to your local park and accost the nearest person with a bugaboo and ask for some help - there'll be hundreds of them!

please give good rating if this helps
