P&t pushchair in need of repairs..... But what part do I need?

We recently bought a classic Phil & ted off e-bay, and after just a short amount of time it is in need of some repairs. The most important one is the rear right wheel ( my right if stood behind the buggy). It edges it's way off, so much so that every now and then I need to stop, lift pushchair up, and gently kick it back on.... Do I really need to replace the whole wheel or is it just a part?

Don't know the answer to your query but there is a UK distributor which was helpful when I had my P&T as I had to replace wheel bearings on the front wheel.
But for the life of me I cannot find the contact now. Hoping someone else will know or Mr Google can help?

ring Oxford Pram Centre (always amazingly helpful) or Out N About as they import them and do spares - sounds like you have lost the black bit that you press in to quick release the wheel - not had a classic but 1 of my friends has lost that bit on her sport and 1 wheel keeps falling off

A new wheel shouldn't be too costly, dp obliterated one of our vibes wheels in the car boot (slammed it on it, 3 times) it was around £25 off ebay I'm sure.

Kiddicare to repairs too!

If you go to the Phil and Teds website then you can either get a complete rear wheel for about £35 or a quick release axle for £8.

It sounds as though it is the axle - very cheap to fix. You can buy spare parts from P&T and they are dispatched from the UK. I bought an axle and a basket for my sport a few months ago and they arrived very quickly.
