Dodgy wheels on Bugaboo Bee

[Lula]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem as we do: our Bugaboo Bee's (bought a year ago, so is the new version, Plus) front wheels shake a lot when we are pushing it. The wheels are not in a fixed position and I know they are supposed to jiggle a bit on undulating surfaces but it is doing it pretty much all the time, unless I am pushing it along a very smooth and level pavement. We've tried tightening the screws. Just wondered if we got a dud or whether anyone else has experienced the same problem?

Thanks!

We have the same problem!!! Just thought it was the same with all bees but would be interested to see if it is a fault...

Did you contact the company? I think someone on the Forum had a phone number for the London distributor, but I can't recall the thread.......

Hi

The bugaboo bee plus's do have this fault. My bugaboo did this and I took it back to john Lewis who got the wheels replaced they actually put on the older model wheels and now buggy doesn't jiggle at all. It seems to be a common problem I remember as think there is a bugaboo facebook page that has a lot of complaints about this.

I haven't yet contacted the company but after reading the other posts, I think we will. Thanks everyone. The jiggling drives me nuts although my son thinks it's fun and often makes 'ahhh, ahhh' sounds while enjoying the rocky ride.

If anyone is still having problems with their bee wheels jiggling then this might be of help.

I contacted bugaboo customer service and was told that they have a 'washer service set' to correct this (they call it the 'shimmying' problem). It took a few weeks to arrive (and I was surprised at how simple the washers are too) but it has worked a treat!

To get the washer set I had to email the following information to Service.UK@Bugaboo.com :

- Name:

- Address:

- Phone Number :

- Type of Stroller:

- Serial Number (located on the middle bar of chassis):

- Date of Purchase (month/year):

- Place of Purchase:

- Replacement Item Needed (color needed, if applicable)

- Explanation of Problem:

- Photo(s) of Damage:

- Valid Proof of Purchase (receipt) or credit card statement showing purchase - we MUST have this or we will NOT be able to process a warranty claim.

- Photo of Serial Number and Production Date:

**The serial number and production date for the Frog and Cameleon can be found on a sticker on the center metal bar of the chassis. It is the bar where the under seat bag attaches. For the Bee, it is on a black and silver sticker on the black plastic part of the chassis, directly under the seat, above the U-shaped piece that surrounds the brake pedal.
