I recently got a 4 wheel BJCM and took it out for the first time today and wanted to check a couple of points regarding the wheels and handling.
Firstly as soon as I started pushing I could hear a rattle; is that just the ball bearings? The reason I am asking is because the steering seems a bit heavy to me. I could feel it pulling to the left and had to compensate for this.
It seems a bit strange because everything I have read on here led me to believe it was very easy to steer with several people saying it was easy and light to push one handed. I couldn't push it one handed because it was veering off course. At one point I peered round the front to see if the sun was in my son's eyes and wheeled it into my mum [shame]. I'm not the strongest of people but I'm not that weak!
Also, on a related note I was comparing it to the Vista and sometimes it was very nimble and turned in a very tight circle like the Vista and at other times I had to push it back and forth a little to get the wheels going. Is this normal? Is it just a case of getting used to a new pushchair?
On the positive side my son looks so much more comfortable and happy in it than in the Vista. I could never get him to sit right, he seemed to slump and he never looked comfortable when reclined in the bucket seat (might suit him as a toddler better perhaps). The fold really is great and even though it's fairly wide the rear wheels don't stick out so it's easier to get through and past things. I feel a bit less like I'm trying to drive a Range Rover down a fairy path.
