- In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations.

In this video we give a brief overview of ten different ways in which you can refurbish and freshen up a used stroller for further use. We have a multitude of videos on our channel relating to the various tips and methods contained in this video, but below we've assembled a short list you can use as a starting point.

Is there a way to buff scratches off the plastic frame from dropping a stroller?
How to make the plastic parts of stokke trailz shine and less visible scratches ? Is there any certain chemical to use?
Hi there, I am trying to replace the foam handle on the baby zen yoyo. I've managed to remove the handle from the chassis, however I am struggling to remove the plastic hooks on either side of the handle (which the fabric hood connects to) to allow me to squeeze the metal handle into the foam replacement. Are you able to advise how I do this please? None of the tools I have seem to be compatible?
Thank you for your help.
Thanks for this
Can you elaborate on the "clean before lubricating" part? How does one clean the axle, for example? What kind of solvents to use? Or should it just be rinsed with water?
In the video you just straight to the tips about which types of lubricants are appropriate, but I think that if the cleaning is not done well, lubrication won't help much.
Do you have any ideas how to buff put scracthes on the plastic wheels on a stroller. Will polishing it like a headlight or a bumper work?
Hello! Thank you for all your videos! With them i managed to repair baby zen yoyo original that was already in good shape but now looks like new :) we have even attached the car seat with your advice on how to drill the hole on the side 'hand rests'. Also seeing your videos i saw you can attach baby nest onto the original frame. We managed to do all but we can't fix the canopy :( is there any trick for that so we dont have to buy new frame or sell the baby nest we got. Thank you in advance
Awesome, glad the videos helped. I don't have any tricks for the babynest canopy at this time, but I'll see if I can come up with something next time we get a 0+ Yoyo into the workshop. :)
Hello and thank you very much for your videos! Could you please be more specific on the method and the products to be used to rejuvenate textiles faded by the weather or the sun? I did not understand well ... 🤦 Thank you!
Oops, I discover the video dedicated to the moment ... Thank you.
I have a Graco Two seater it’s the long one the wheels squeak when I turn them.
Any suggestions for removing scratches off of a silver chassis? (Baby jogger, uppababy etc)
How to repair giggles stroller break down problem
??
You can cover those stains on the canvas with corresponding (exact color match) acrylic paint that you can get at a dollar store .Since that is stiff canvas on the stroller you can use just straight undiluted acrylic paint from dollar stores to cover up stains on the canvas..Just please make sure you get an exact color match.
Hi.Which kind of paint do you use?
Hi love your vids. Can you offer any advice on how to add a hand break to a dog jogger. I csnt find any with hand bresks and I need them to roller skate for exercise. Im disable so its not easy for me to stop. I desperately need to diy it my self. I jusg don't know where to start. Ty Veronica
I would take it to a bicycle shop. It should be possible to mount the sort of brake one finds on bicycles to the front wheel (assuming its a 3-wheel, fixed wheel model). In any case, a bicycle repair shop is where you'd find the kit you need. :)
@@BarnevognverkstedNo thank you for the help. The front wheel locks and can swivel. So i may need the breaks on the back. But I will still call my local bike shop. Veronica
Can you please do a vedio on babytrend navigator double jogging stroller
You can paint over stains on stroller canvas with cheap dollar store acrylic paint of exactly the same color because stroller canvas is a stiff fabric.
Hi Nice video I fixed my stroller please can you help me to remove scratches from abc zoom double pushchair frame i try nail polish removal but its not working 😕
Please I trying to fix that problem from 3 weeks and not working which polish remover i can use please help thank you so much.
Hi
How did you remove the scratches from the frame??
It's not possible to fully remove scratches, unfortunately but getting rid of dirt and rust will make them a lot less visible. :)
Buffing them with a very fine grit like a magic eraser helps
Hello! I try to clean the wheels of my yoyo+ but I cannot remove the rear wheel on the other side of the brake (I had no difficulties with the 3 others). What can I do now? Thanks in advance for your help!
This means that the axle has probably rusted to the ball-bearing, what you need is lubricants, tools, elbow-grease and prayer ;) you can check out this video for worst-case scenarios: ua-cam.com/video/KdxxmSQdJZ0/v-deo.html
The Stroller Workshop thanks a lot! I hope that won’t be the worst case because it seems really complicated. The stroller runs well for now so we will leave it like that
Hi! How do i fix a click noise on my bugaboo Fox? I had the same problem With my donkey that i fixed but is it like the same way you do it on the Fox? Would really be grateful for your help and answer! /Sanna.
Where does it click? In the central folding mechanism?
To make your own dye mix one half acrylic craft paint (from dollar stores) and half water.
Hello! Random question but would the baby jogger elite wheels fit on the baby jogger city mini gt? Thanks
The rear wheels might, but not the front wheel, unfortunately :)
@@BarnevognverkstedNo thankyou for replying!! Probably would have been a bad idea anyway 🤦♀️
How can we fix the bottom basket that is hanging and dragging on the ground
Depends on the stroller, but if it is a fabric basket, you probably need to replace broken straps / buttons, or fix it via sewing solutions. :)
@@BarnevognverkstedNo thank you. The box part on the bottom broke so it just drags. I can’t put anything in it at all.
How much does it cost to get my stroller overhauled at youre shop?
The workshop is unfortunately closed right now due to the crisis, but otherwise we take 550kr + parts. Hopefully, we'll open again after the summer. :)
Thanks, am having trouble with getting air in my front wheels on my stokke trailz. The pump seem to be broken and I cant find a pump to replace it with that will fit. Any recomandations?
shasy not chassy.
