This article will teach you how to fix a wobbly wheel on a stroller! Can you tell when your stroller starts to wobble? When that happens, it is time to take a closer look at the wheel. How are they attached and who tightened them last?
How did you store the stroller? How often do you put air in the tires? These are all factors that can contribute to wobbly wheels on a stroller.
Steps on How to Fix a Wobbly Wheel on a Stroller
Step 1. Check if there is anything stuck in or under one of the rubber rim covers; remove any debris from inside this area with an old toothbrush
Step 2. Put the stroller upside down and spin each wheel to see if it is true; if your stroller has a swivel wheel, try spinning both directions
Step 3. Tighten any loose screws on the axle or hub of the wheels. How tight should they be? If you’re not sure, ask for help from an expert such as someone who works in bicycle repair at a bike store. Replace metal rim covers with new ones by removing old rubber rims.

How do you unlock the wheels on a stroller?
Step 1. Unlock the wheels by moving them in a forward and backward direction until you feel or hear the click. How do you lock it? You can also move both wheels simultaneously in opposite directions to create that clicking sound; once they make this sound, hold them there for five seconds before releasing
Step 2. Try pushing on one of your stroller’s wheel locks with just enough pressure so that the other locked wheel is pushed down about an inch. After locking all four tires, check if they are tight enough by swivelling each tire side to side without letting go of either attachment point
Step 3. If any of these steps don’t work, take your buggy back to where you purchased it from (or find their website) – most places have a warranty, and their staff will be able to help you with any issues. If it is still under warranty then they may fix or replace the wheel for free.
You can also ask at your local bike shop if anyone there would know how to correctly tighten a wobbly stroller’s wheel. Most places should have some sort of service centre that can do this quickly – usually without charge!
How to Tighten it Back up
Hold onto the silver front wheel, while you use your fingers or a Phillips screwdriver to attach the opposite side. Once they are screwed together, flip them over and tighten them evenly with a Philips head wrench. Do not forget to check both sides!
If there is any wiggle once you have tightened everything, loosen the other connector until things feel right again. Check for wear on your wheel before reattaching the last set of screws in place.
How do you adjust the straps on a Nuna Mixx stroller?
The strap can be adjusted by pulling it through the buckle and then sliding to tighten or loosen. Make sure that there is no slack in the strap before fastening it back onto your child’s waist.
How often should I clean my Chicco Bravo Trio stroller?
You will want to wipe down any dirt, liquids, pet hair etc with baby wipes every single day for at least 20 seconds per side of the frame. It is normal for anything metal like wheels or screws to get a little bit rusty looking (even if they are coated) – this is just oxidation which can easily be removed with some elbow grease and regular cleaning.
Tips
We recommend that you clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap solution once per week or at least every two weeks if your child has food allergies, eczema, or any other skin condition. How often should I change my stroller’s tires?
You will want to check the air pressure in all four of your wheels daily when possible; however, it is best to inflate them with an air pump weekly for better manoeuvrability and longevity of usage. For example: If one tire goes flat before the others – then you know that this particular wheel needs more pumping than usual.

Thank you for the tips. I found them helpful. I learned that I hadn’t mounted my jogger’s front wheel properly, which I did, and now no more shaking.
