OhNoGeorge

Hello, Spooky - I literally just logged into the forum this minute to see if there was some info I'd missed. Thanks for the update. What was the damage (cost-wise, that is)? I assume the non-folding bugaboo now folds? Did they fix it or did they have to replace the whole chassis? My handlebar has now completely gone so drops down permanently. So i have that and the non-folding problem now :( Thanks,

Look forward to hearing the news. Mine is still "bugg -aboo- ed". A neighbour has leant me a riveting kit, but I don't want to dismantle the buggy unless there is hope of fixing it. (Not even sure if I am up to it in any event.) Thanks for the updates.

Oh - p.s. I can manage to collapse it myself by unscrewing the triangular cover at the juncton of the handlbars and the curved bar (not sure how to describe that area, but one of the few areas with a philips screw), and pushing the catch in by hand. Useful work around if the buggy is blocking up the hall!

Hi Lula, Thanks for getting back to me - frustrating !! Why do faults always occur just after the warranty expires...? Yes - it is the same side of the buggy - the right hand side - with a white-only lever. The other annoying thing is that it seemed to happen when I was looking at another fault on the same buggy. My handle bar lock on that side had stopped working, so the handle only supported on the left side. I'd kind of ignored it as it didn't affect me using it, but yesterday I decided to have a look at the mechanism - moving the handle up and down a few times, when bingo - I couldn't collapse it at all. I've been on the internet looking for solutions - and have also found the pit stop which you mention - but they don't at first glance seem to fix collapsing mechanism faults for the Bee. Arghhh. Since my little girl is 2.5, I am almost buggy free - it's so annoying that it has happened now! Don't really want to spend loads more money on buggies now. Let me know if Pit Stop sound positive. I'm sure if you can get into the aluminium bit, which seems to be riveted together, then it will be a simple wire or something. Thanks again,

Hi Lula, Do you mind me asking if you had any luck with repairing this fault. The exact sounding problem has happened to my (two and a half year-old) Bugaboo Bee. Although I am assuming an internal wire has snapped (I have taken the little panel off and can close the buggy manually), did you find out if a replacement wire can be found and/or fitted? Thanks very much!
