Hi, the wheels on my stroller are acting funny. The front left ones get stuck and won't move... stroller seems very hard to turn. Any suggestions?

This is cause from the automatic steering lock mechanism. Let me give you a little secret that 99% of the time fixes this.

Let me explain. The design is suppose to work like this. You get out into your car, put the key in and slightly turn the wheel to the left and it unlock the steering mechanize. BUT sometimes it gets jammed, like in your case. There are two ways to get this unlocked or jammed to get your key out. Number one is, while key is in of course, really try hard to move your steering wheel back and forth to unlock this jam in steering wheel lock mechanize. On small cars this normally works. But here is my big secret that will help you, it sounds funny but works 99% of the time.

What you do, is you need to get the weight of the front wheels, as that is what needs to be turned and eases the tension off the wheels, to turn wheel a inch of so, until the mechanism release to pull key out. So, This sounds funny, but works. Jack up the front of your Blazer, and after front end is jacked up, so wheels are off ground, then try and turn wheel hard and pull key out. I assure you, sounds funny but works. If not, then you have a broken key ignition, but I would not worry about that, just follow my instructions on the jack up method. Please if this helps you, maybe you can rate my help and a positive testimony would be nice for this free advice and solution. Thanks Mike

The cause for this is a build up of dirt and grime. Your Quinny Buzz should be regularly cleaned and maintained in order to keep it operating smoothy. We have a Handy Hint guide for cleaning of the front wheel of the Quinny Buzz 3 if you're in the UK follow this link: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.112250718852471.18255.104570846287125#!/photo.php?fbid=112250802185796&set=a.112250718852471.18255.104570846287125&type=1&theater

Hi I had a similar problem with mine. I ended up just tightening the cable that connected the front wheel to the lock. (screw-like connector bolt under lock) You may want to adjust the cable as well sounds like it needs to be loosened maybe. I hope that I helped. Good luck! :)

Hi,

I would suggest that you completely remove the wheel (pinching the two black plastic buttons and pull it out). Fully clean the assemble and re-attach. Also, a good idea would be to lubricate the moving parts with a thick lubricant, such as vaseline.

I hope this helps.

On my stroller there is a little plastic piece just above the front wheels.  If you push it to the left it will lock the wheels.  Push it back to the right to unlock the wheels.  You may have to push a little hard to move it.  

Hi they are not very good on rough ground, you can buy all terrain front wheels on ebay.

exactly the saem problem with mine. Di you find a solution yet?

remove the total front housing by pressing the 2 plastic buttons on the silver bar that holds the wheels in place. then get a small screwdriver and put in in the small hole on the black plastic part of the wheel there is a button in there but you will need to look in the hole to find it then push button with screwdriver and pull off the 2 wheels. clean and use wd40 not oil. this should fix problem if not phone dorel (they sell/own quinny) in the UK 00442082360707
