One of the rivets on the cross mechanism has broken off. How do I get this repaired? We bought the pram in November 2009.

Two solutions:
Traditional requires removing the damaged rivet.. at times this requires drilling the remains of the damaged rivet out.. Most of these rivets are "Pop Rivets". You need a Pop Rivet tool and of course the new rivet. The alternative to purchasing the tool and the appropriate size rivet. (Some hardware stores sell the rivets in different sizes by the each). Take the stroller to a sheet metal shop (Furnace A/C installer) or a Auto Body Shop.. both places will have the Pop Rivet tool and probably boxes of rivets.. if the old rivet is missing completely..and they have the right rivet and tool..it's a 10 second repair.

The other alternative.. is a fastener type referred to as "Well Nuts".. this is a rivet like device that you can install yourself.. two pieces.. a threaded insert..and the threaded mate. It looks a lot like a rivet when installed.. usually no special tools required. Good hardware stores may have them.. and it may just do the job.

Most of these rivets on your type of stroller are located in places that require them to be as flush as possible for obvious reasons.. folding.. and safety. If this one is not subject to either. A simple round head phillips screw of the right length and self locking acorn nut will suffice.

Best of Luck

In My stroller, the side Steel rod was broken. Kept heavy weight on the seat and it fel down. pls advice where and how i can repair it.Dont remeber the Make and Model Number.Its single seat Pram.

Welding thin wall tubing requires skill and a special kind of welder. Google you local welding companies. Could have a problem if any plastic components are near to the break. DIY option could be find a smaller steel tube to slot in side broken tube and pop rivet.

Navy and white silvercross dolls pram bought 1980 new

I know exactly what you mean about the classic Silver Cross look but if you fit two larger diameter wheels the pram would not sit level unless one of the axles was repositioned to compensate.

Wheels have been retained by a number of methods and then hidden behind a (usually) chrome cap that must be carefully prised off. In more modern times it has become usual to combine the chrome cap with a spring retainer. It is fitted with the gentle tap of a mallet but patience is needed to remove it and no small amount of carefully applied force and even then there is about a 50% breakage. It is possible your pram used these.

Good luck!
