Britax vigour 3 wheel broke?
enimod · 01/04/2010 16:38
My ebay Britax vigour 3 came today all tyres are a bit flat but i think there s something wrong with front wheel- it doesn t seem to move well? Its not stuck on not swivel it just doesn t seem to steer? Is that because its a bit flat or has someone sold me a broken push chair? Do the wheels come off? I have a bad feeling.

Sorry I can't really help but are they like oversized maclaren buggy wheels, as I once had one that had sand in the swivel mechanism and it was such hard works. Tool the front wheels off, cleaned them WD40 and they were then amazing?
I would expect the front wheel to come off - have you looked for on line instructions?

Sounds broken to me. Sorry. And I think only the back wheels come off.
Has yours got air tyre's then? My vigour doesn't. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Front wheel does come off of the vigour 3 we had air tyres and our front wheel broke, you have to take the wheel off attached to the U bit its attached to. there are two little black buttons you need to press We have the non phneumatic tyres now, not quie as smooth but still good.
Thinking of selling mine soon to get a maclaren for holidays, holding out as I love it, used it fom birth with a carrycot.
