Can anyone advise re putting up the Bugaboo frog?

My friend has just bought a bugaboo frog from ebay but we are clearly missing something about how to open the chassis!

We have got it up but cannot work out how to get the frame to lock. Can anyone help. Not sure if you have to press something or just push it but e're scared of forcing it. Tried googling but as I say we are just not 'getting it'!

We've just worked out fitting the seat locks it! Blush

:o They have such an unnecessarily complicated fold/unfold and seat removal, but you do get used to it quickly. :)

Hopefully! We enjoyed pushing it around the garden once we'd got the silly thing to stay up. We've been stalking them on ebay for a couple of weeks and were like a couple of excitable children ripping the packet open!

Was it the bargain orange one? I posted in here as I wanted some one to get it

No it was a black one. She missed one is Nottingham that went for about £22 as took her eye off the ball whilst bidding on another so was smarting a little!

It's a nice pushchair though, at least now we've cleaned it. I was a little shocked at the filthy state it had been sent in. There were leaves in the under seat bag and it was covered in mud including the seat. Looks good now though and she's making plans to utilise my old dressmaking skills to make some replacement hoods.

Her ds2 is the last baby in our circle of friends so we are all sharing the last chance to play babies!

Before I start yet another thead...changing bag question! I don't suppose any of you know whether a skiphop changing bag fits well to a frog or will she need a bugaboo bag?

She's used it today and says it glides down the street but her changing bag is slipping down and hitting the frame.

She could get some bag clips and try them on the handlebar to see if they stay in place. They hook onto the metal rings on a bag holding it in place. These are supposed to be good but you can get cheap ones too.

She managed to order some similar clips for £3.50 on ebay so thanks very much for that tip.
