Bugaboo gecko pram unit slopes forwards when on chassis

Bugaboo's can be repaired check my tips section on how to. A new frame is a third of the price of a complete stroller aprox $400 US Go to http://www.bugaboo.com/parts to buy a new frame

Manuals can be down loaded and they are well written with good pictures.www.bugaboo.com/user-guides

If it's less than two years old Bugaboo will replace the chassis Just don't tell them how it failed. If it's over two years old you have a problem. You could buy a new chassis it'll cost around $400 but you'll add about $200 to your resale value. I've had spare parts laser cut for the handle locks and found a supplier for the domes that holds it all together. If you had to replace all the parts in one hub ( the dome, 2 locking pins and the actuator) you'd be up for $100 in parts. Check my previous posting for how to repair the handle locks.

Hi, you can download the instruction manual for the Bugaboo Gecko at http://www.freebabymanuals.com/bugaboo/prams

Hope that helps

You can buy Bugaboo Gecko parts from www.buggypitstop.co.uk. They sell the wheels.

Hi,

To open the Gecko, follow the steps below:

Stand behind the folded stroller, ensuring the handle is on the top of the stroller.
Bend down and place your hands on the handle bar, DONT lift the pram, make sure it stays on the floor.
Push the white button on the inside of the left hand side of the handle bar.
Pull both triggers (located inside of the handle bar) toward you and lift the handle up.
Stand up-right, and place your foot onto the bottom of the two axles which you can see in front of you (make sure that you have your foot on the axle which connects the two small swivel wheels).
Whilst you are standing, with your hands on the handle bar and your foot on the axle, push the axle outwards with your foot away from you and slightly upwards. This should open the chassis up-right. Please note that the chassis will appear to be unstable and move, this will stop the minute that you click on your carseat/carrycot or seat unit.

I hope this helps.

This is a common problem and the answer was a replacement chassis for around £200.00's but I have found the only place in the uk that repairs the handle for a fraction of the price www.buggypitstop.co.uk

Dear Linda,

Before you put click the seat unit on, ensure that both of the upright prongs (black) are pointing directly upwards. Click on the seat, this should then be completely horizontal (ensure that you hear both sides clicking onto the frame) Once the seat is on, then adjust this to the normal/required postition. I hope this helps.

We hand handle problems, and no receipt. I just called bugaboo with a serial number and they sent a new chassy.
