@ilovebrean you dont agree that there is a problem with my bee but even bugaboo said so! they changed it, they made modificication to the bee to correct tis problem. Now there is no more problem but at the time they was a problem!

And yes sometimes i i am in a hurry and i bought a very expensive bugaboo i want it to be able to go fast if i need to!

I've contacted Bugaboo and they are aware of this problem!

They've sent me a "washer-rings service set" which consists in little paper rings to fix myself on the wheels and it is supposed to stop the wheels from "shimmying". I was told that if it doesn't fix the problem they'll change the pushchair (the chassis).

Considering the price of the Bugaboo Bee and eventhough it is not a joging stroller, it shouldn't do that. They told me it was only doing that on Bugaboo Bee Plus.

@elodiebattesti

when i first called them they told me they didnt understand my problem, that i probably wasnt uing wy bugaboo propaly!

Now they seem to be doing things to correct this problem so this is finaly a good point for bugaboo

Wow, slow down! Bugaboo is not a jogging stroller, it's made to go at a normal walking pace. I love my new Bee and have not had any problems, although I haven't tried sprinting like you did.

@drivinazamboni

Bugaboo saw this video and said that yes it wasn't normal so they changed it for me, but maybe you know better than them!

[olivierbellaiche]

i contacted bugaboo in holland directly the shop where i bought mine wouldnt do anything!

Lock the wheel in place, duuh and slow down !

I had had the same problem where the wheel wobbles when walking at a slow pace, not only does it wobble it also slows the pram down

I haven't bought the stroller yet bus as soon as the saleperson in the shop showed it to me I have noticed this defect. She just smiled and said... "ehm, I think... it's... ..normal?" I hope bugaboo is doing something seriously about it as it's one of the few strollers fitting in the boot of my car.

@olivierbellaiche I found out the same info from Bugaboo, & I know you are only 1 of HUNDREDS of parents w/this problem. You do not look like you are going too fast to me, but even if you were, it shouldn't do that. Also, I highly doubt the other 1,000 complainers are all "running" with their strollers! I'm glad you got the issue resolved. I mentioned below that I was told the problem has recently been fixed on current models on the market. I don't understand why you got attacked for this video.

@ilovebrean I have, on occasion, literally jogged through a mall with both a Peg Perego Skate & an Aprica Umbrella & this simply does not happen. I don't know what your idea if "walking fast" is, but this video appears a completely reasonable pace to me! I researched the Bee '10, & the company is completely aware of design flaw; they re-designed the front wheels to be heavier. New Bees come with the new wheels; people with this problem are supposed to be able to get the wheels replaced. GL OP

[ilovebrean]

you can disagree all you like but i dont know anyone who walks that fast and if you are overly bothered then you could attatch buggyweights to the front but i am now on my 3rd bee plus and have never had a problem with the front wheels

[varuca99]

@ilovebrean Hardly. If you have a $600+ stroller that behaves this way because you pick up a brisk pace, then THAT is the problem, not the consumer. This is obviously a design flaw caused by too much weight distribution placed on rear wheels; I have too many non-jogging strollers (expensive & lightweight models) to believe for a moment that this ought to happen to a stroller just because a parent is walking too fast. Ridiculous.

[varuca99]

@smiffius Oh, I disagree! I currently own 3 non-jobbing strollers (not the Bee), and I have NEVER had this problem with a single one of them, or with any of the lightweight, non-jogging strollers I have had in the past. I can see what is causing the problem by looking @ the vid--all the weight is being carried on the back wheels, which causes the front wheels to lift ever-so-slightly. Absolutely a design flaw! The weight must be more evenly distributed for all 4 wheels to roll correctly.
