The latch pulls up and the handle folds a little but doesn't go all the way down.

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

Don't worry, this is normal. Once you lock the seat into place, the front bar stays put, even if you hop a curb.

How to fix a Bugaboo Handle
Locking Mechanism
If you are not the handyperson type, take these instructions
to you local bicycle mechanic or small engineering shop.
The cause of the Bugaboo handle fault is due to two small
plastic pins shearing off a plastic disk inside the plastic hub. This disk
activates two metal locking rods.
Why Bugaboo uses a plastic disk for this critical component is beyond
me. The disk’s two plastic pins move the locking rods in and out of the inner
hub engaging and disengaging the outer hub. You need to either repair the disk by drilling out the pin
stumps and finding a metal screw you can fit / glue in or replace with a new
metal disk fabricated to last a lifetime.
The lock mechanism is very simple; a wire rod rotates the
plastic disk that moves the lock pins.
Before replacing the disk, check the hubs for wear. If too badly worn or damaged you will
have too much movement in the locked position. Both the Frog and Cameleon use the same plastic hubs so you
can find an old frame and salvage replacement hubs. A single aluminum rivet holds them and this is easily
drilled out.
1/ Remove
the domed star lock. This is the
hardest part of the job and most people try to lever this off in the hope of
reusing. The first problem is you
mark or damage the surrounding plastic, the second is the star lock isn’t
intended to be reused and will not hold as well. It is best to find a new replacement - normally sourced from
a hardware store on indent.
The quickest way to remove a domed
star lock is to carefully cut a slot in the dome with an angle grinder and then
use a large screwdriver to gently prise up one side high enough so you can fit
a second screwdriver underneath without marking the plastic. Note.
The walls of the aluminum shaft the hub rotates on are thin and easily
distorted, make sure you only lever the domed star lock and not the shaft. Use the first screwdriver to support
the second screwdriver as per photo.
Note it is best to open and repair one side at a time, so
the moving and flexing one side of the handle does not dislodge parts in the
other side. The hub and disks are
mirrors of each other and not interchangeable. The side with the brake lever is left; the Bugaboo parts
will have an “L” after their serial numbers.
2/ Reassemble
handle locking hub and check operation.
If the wire rods seem to be out of position, loosen the top plastic
fittings where the handle extends from by removing the small self-tapping
screws and wiggle things into alignment. (I use a small amount of the grease
used for taps to give a smoother action) If all is working well fit the new star dome on the
hub shaft and tap home. To protect the dome finish I use a large socket from my
socket set and an old rubber washer from a toilet cistern. Repeat operation on the other side.
I have available kits with (left & right) laser cut metal disks with stainless
steel pins and two new star dome locks.
Cost is $150 New Zealand plus shipping. If you would like a set, my contact email address is below.

Bugaboo don't fix any parts of the chassis. They make you buy a new one. I've posted how it can be fixed on similar posts.
