bought mama and papas aria TWIN pram on ebay and problem with front wheels - advice from owners please

[foxy1]

hello -

I bought a mama and papas aria twin on ebay and would definitely not pay £200 for a new one!! When the front wheels are on swivel if I need to turn in a shop for example it can bereally difficult to steer and the wheels get jammed and almost get stuck/don't move. I get really frustrated. Don't know whether they need oiling or whether it is a particular problem with the design. I wanted to ask anyone that has this pram whether they experience the same issues. It is also really difficult going up kerbs especially when you have a 2 year old in the pram. The frames are so light which is great in some respects but then it does not make it feel sturdy.

Any advice on what I can do to stop the front wheels from jamming.

Thank you

bump anyone??

Not had the double but I had a single that did that.
Think it's just the weight with a toddler in it. People with smaller kids seem to love them.

I had atwin aria and it did the same as you describe. Also the brakes were shite. Biggest pile of crap I ever bought. M and P would only fix it if I piad although it was only 4 months old and therefore underguaratee. Even then they sent it away for 2 weeks and it came back no better. Mand p prams are crap. I would never touvh one ever again. Go for something like the instep nipper. Much better. Regrett not getting one in the first place
