Getting a stroller fixed

Hello

I have a Chicco stroller which is in urgent need of repair. I didn't buy it here, but wondering if anyone knows of a place in Zurich which might accept it for repair?

What is wrong with it? The wheels?

I know this will sounds silly, but could you try a local bike shop?

Good tip! Unfortunately, it's the frame; I need to figure out a way to tighten the bit where it folds.

I wonder if they could help you with it as well, they usually know how to do these things...

Why does it need tightening? Does it rattle, is it the noise? The thing (hemp fiber)

I used to tighten things with might be sold here, but I wouldn't use it for a joint that folds (plus it would look ugly, wouldn't it...it's a plumbing hemp fiber), maybe vaseline for the noise? Does it not stay closed?

Sorry, I am not a mechanic, just a Chicco stroller user

Maybe you have to go to a store that sells Chicco and ask for their service shop, those guys might be able to fix your stroller eventhough you haven't bought from their salesman..

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I had a similar issue and had to send it in as I tried one shop (0-Seven) and they did not want to repair it as they have senidng costs.

Maybe if you offer to pay the senidng cost they can do it? (My German was not too good so I did not propose this..)

You could otherwise try Bebehaus Wehrli? They stock the Chicco brand

Cheers,

K

Ask Chicco

The pain with things like strollers is the shops will never have the ability to repair in house, thus the need to send it off.

I made several repairs and parts for our Chiccos, but I have a machine shop at my disposal . And a father in law with boxes and boxes of odd bits and strange hardware for repairs when visiting there. Not that it has structural flaws- we just abused the heck out of it.

There must be an EF'r with handyman skills around your vicinity who can take a look?

Thanks again for all your tips!!

My 12-year old cousin decided he absolutely had to have a go sitting in the stroller which made the frame even wonkier than it was from regular wear and tear.
