You need to put more weight on the front of the stroller. The wheel is shaking because it's able to swivel....

Our stroller shakes when pushing forward (very badly - would shake the baby out of the stroller if we had her in it), but if you pull the stroller back it appears to cease shaking. Is there something...

You don't mention what make / model you have. Try turning stroller upside down ( without baby in it *-) ) and spin each wheel to see if it runs freely. Try to rock the wheels from side to side to see if there is any play in the axel. On a flat smooth surface do all wheels touch the ground? If the front wheels swivel do they rotate freely without any side to side play? Some strollers have nuts you can adjust others just have Silver domes. Try tightening nuts till wheels get tight then back off just enough so they spin freely try taping domes on tighter using a large socket from a socket set and a hammer so the pressure is around the edge of the dome and not in the centre where it would dent. Silicon spray is the best lubricant for strollers.

The front wheel shaking if i go faster than a very slow walking speed. Apparently it needs to be locked in order for it not to shake. And i found a small ball from the bearing i think.

The lock for the front wheel is a little plastic clip that should be just above the wheel itself if you push that down it should stop it from shaking
Hope this helps

My front swivel wheel shakes about 30 seconds into our walk. What is causing this? Can it be repaired?

Hey there,
Its hard to say what exactly the problem is but here are seem things to try.
If you turn the stroller upside down you should see 4 screws (2 on each side) right by the front wheel on the underside of the stroller. Make sure those are in tight because if they are loose they can cause shaking in the stroller. Also make sure that the wheel is screwed in tightly to the wheel base as well.
If these steps dont work then you might need to order a replacement for the front wheel. This can be done by calling customer service of Kolcraft at 800.453.7673 or you can email them at [email protected].

Hope this helps!!

My Phil & Teds Vibe shakes in the front wheel uncontrollably. Do I need a new front wheel?

Hi!

Assuming your tyres have the correct pressure, uncontrollable shaking in 3-wheeld swiveling strollers is usually caused by bearing slack.
Please check the front wheel bearing. It should allow the wheel to rotate freely but it should not be loose on the axle. (ie. It should not slide sideways on the axle.)
In this case you would need a new front fork/wheel assembly.

Please let a dealer have a look at it. As the Vibe has not been around for very long, you may still have warranty.

I hope this helps.

Baby trend double jogger stroller pulls to the left when front wheel is in locked position AND front wheel wobbles (cannot push through it)when on swivel.

Hey! I just fixed my shaking wheel! There is a red lever above the swivel wheel. I pushed it up. And guess what... I can jog with my stroller!

Sounds like a loose bolt. Check under the front of your foot protector.

My jogging stroller shakes

Well, i'm not positive in this, seeing how I never had kids, but while jogging are you pushing down harder on the stroller? or you could look for smaller wheels to put it on, but then again you might have'ft to bend over to do it, and if the handle which you push is tall that has to do with force viberating the stroller

Shakes when going fast

Problem suggests that the stroller has sustained structural damage in the accident.If you use it with any additional weight than what is the recommended as per cataloge the stroller may give away causing injury.The damage is beyond repairs and hence it is not safe to use the equipment any more.
