Send the broken wheel to the company and ask for another. Look up their number on their website for bugaboo.com You might try a local bicycle store and ask them to repair your tire with the leak in it. It will be a lot faster than waiting for a new tire, and cheaper too.

SOURCE: help- wheel problem!

It is the same as fixing a bicycle inner tube. We levered the tyre off ours with a couple of spoons. Took the inner tube out and partly reinflated it with a bicycle pump. Then dowsed the tyre in a bowl of water to see where the stream of bubbles came from. We marked the hole with a childs crayon, dried the tube, stuck on a bike puncture repair patch and that fixed it. Then checked the inside of the tyre, found and removed the thorn that was sticking through it that caused the puncture. Then replaced the inner tube, levered the tyre back on, pumped it up and away we went. Didn't take long and minimal cost.

I guess the problem arose because we did not notice that the tyres had lost their pressure and so were running flat. Motto - check tyre pressures regularly as you do with a car.

One of the back tires on my baby trend columbia stroller is flat. I cant find a hole anywhere. It seems like it may be a problem around the thing that you put air in....any suggestions??

If you pump the tire again with enough air and put your ear against the tire you may be able to hear the air escaping.

If it's a slow leak you may not be able to hear it but any bicycle tire levers will allow you to take off the tire. More than likely you pinched the tube or punctured with a sharp object in use.

I usually recommend replacing the tube completely, the cost & ease of replacing the tube is better than using the patches which I find it a headache to deal with smaller wheels especially for any jogging strollers.

Problem with tires ,air is escaping

Pick up a kit for bicycle repair. Take the wheel off, deflate, pull the wheel from the rim and remove the tube. Pump the tube up a little, place under water and look for the bubbles. Once you find the bubbles, patch with the bike tire repair kit, deflate, put the tube back in, reattach tire to rim and inflate.

Quinny pushchair puncture

A tire can be repaired with a regular bicycle repair patch. Otherwise you can use inflate a flat or tire slime to seal the leak, but you will have to rotate the wheel at a substantial rpm untill the repair sets, perhaps a powerdrill without a bit.

Fixing a flat tire

Any bike shop will have patch equipment. You need to deflate the tire and remove it from the wheel. See if there is a tube inside the tire. If so, the fix is easy: either purchase a new tube for the tire, or get a patch. Use modelling glue on the patch then press it continually on the hole on the tire for about five minutes until it is dry. Afterwards, re-insert the tube into the tire, reattach the tire to the rim and pump it back up
