Pushchairs
Ok, I've bought the frog - now please, please tell me is the handle bar meant to move/wobble????

That's it really. It makes it seem flimsy and I am frightened. I unfold the pram but the handle bar doesn't seem to lock in place and moves up and down as I push. Should it do this?
This especially concerns me as bugaboo say I can hand 4 kilos on the handle, it can barely hold my changing bag.

does the handle fall down to the floor when you put the change bag/downward pressure on it? if so, the locking mechanism in the star joint has probably failed and you need a new chassis as they arent really fixable. If you are just worried that it moves up and down a bit then yes, there is normally a little play in the position of the handlebar.

It doesn't fall, even with bag on, it moves - rather than locks into position. S I can push it down without releasing the catches.
Phew, so this is normal and I won't fold my baby? I thought as everyone said handles aren't height adjustable it meant it locked rigidly into place.
