The foot brake on our nipper ended up taking so much force to apply that we weren't using it. I've just put some TF2 lubricant (I already had some for my bike) on the mechanism. It is now possible to apply the brake again, although it's not as easy as when new. Helps to lift the rear wheels up when applying, I guess this helps make sure the brake rods align with one of the holes on each wheel. Although this 'works' it's not ideal; you don't have faith in quickly applying the brake and darting away from the buggy. Real shame because other than this I really like the buggy.
6 years since this video was published and it's still the exact same design (and therefore exact same issue). I had to do this 'fix' after just 2 months with a brand new buggy. Very strange that Out'n'About havent found a better solution in this time. To have less than total confidence in a brake's reliability is a bit concerning!
We bought one of these buggys. The Suspension is Fake! It’s Not possible to drive on gravel roads, the Baby is shaking like Crazy! Didnt you recognise?

Worked for me, just in time for trip to hilly Scotland!
Worked on my pushchair, the break is now fixed. I no longer have to manually apply it by hand!
