I have a Jane 3 wheel pushchair, matrix I think?
Front wheel judders like mad (on front wheel swivel mode, not with locked front wheel) if i walk fast, any cure out there?

I don't have a Jane but I do have a similar style, 3 wheel P&T. I find if the front wheel judders, it's because the tires are getting flat and need pumping up. Might be worth checking...

Thank you! I had a puncture 2 weeks ago, repaired and blew the others up at same time so I don't think
it's that.
The back wheels look like this though!!

That is exactly what has put me off getting a Jane - all the (popular) Janes that the mums at our school gates have rear wheels like that - is it a purposeful feature or are they all just "rubbish" then?

There are two that I see with broken brake bars - one of which the brake "click click clicks on all the time as the pushchair is being wheeled!

I can only suggest you get a baby jogger instead! (Or phone Jane and see if they'll repair yours)..

It is comon with Janes. It just needs an adjustment to the screw under the adjusting bit.
Will try to find the link.

The wobbling front wheel problem is easily solved. Simply remove the two philips screws from the plastic cap covering the front wheel assembly on the foot plate. (Where the break cable goes into the swivel tube) Now tighten up the large black nut with a spanner, replace the black cap and your done!

The back broken brake bar is fixed on mine - with a bungee cord strapping it out of the way...
I will do that other repair to the front wheel tonight, thanks for info :)
