We just got this stroller as a gift for my daughter but the back rear wheel keeps falling off. Has anyone else had this issue?

Nope, my daughter's still in great conditions after almost 1 year of continuous use...make sure it's assembled properly. GOOD LUCK!!

Yes, we did but after getting my husband to check on it I had not gotten it snapped into place correctly !

I bought this stroller as a gift for my granddaughter last Christmas and she hasn't had a problem with any of the wheels falling off. You have to make sure the wheels are on correctly and tight.

I have t used the stroller for a few months but th closing is a little tricky. You have to have things so they will fold just right and then it all goes down easily. I remember you push the handle forward. Don't force anything. My husband helps me sometimes. My hands are weak so the squeezing the bar on the handle can be difficult for me, good luck

Ours works, but I did notice if it falls, it stops and just needs to be turned off and on again. Also, sometimes the back wheels get loose and I have to push them in hard. Not sure if this helps. Maybe one of the gears of the back wheels is loose, not sure if you can can open it and check.

Not sure what the wheel problem is but I've had mine for about 5 months and haven't had any problems.

Cheryl, I have a 60 lbs Belgian sheepdog, 14 years old. I do not have any trouble at all with wobbling or noise in any of the wheels. What I would do is this: First make sure the stroller is assembled properly. Second, specifically make sure the wheels are snapped in completely. Thirdly, make sure the brake is off when you're rolling. I hope this helps. I'm sure if you contact Pet Gear directly, they also will be able to provide some assistance.

If you want to keep the stroller, a bicycle shop would probably be able to fix it. But since this happened the first time you used it, I would return it as defective, and exchange for another stroller. I am curious, if the reason the wheel feels wobbly , are you trying to jog or run without the front pin locked in place ?

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

Hi Danielle, I have this since last July, 2013 and mine still looking really good. Just FYI if you're going to get this. The locking pedal in the back will seize about a month or so after you start using this. I called Uppababy and they told me of a quick fix by putting a few drops of bike chain lubricant in the locking pedal and it will fix the problem. Overall, I love this stroller. Hope this help.

Hi, I found this to be an old model and made in China. I spoke to Kirk at Discountramps.com and was told it's discontinued. Replacement wheels are unavailable. He stated he keeps replacement parts if the stroller is in stock. Discountramps.com Tel. 1-888-651-3431. I'm sorry I couldn't help you further.

Hmmm .....I popped mine out for cleaning and it popped back in... Did something chip off? Like a little piece of plastic that snaps it in place. I will look again for you when I go out today and use the stroller.

We received this stroller about a month ago and so far no problems with the wheels. We love this stroller!

Hi, are you talking about the top seat or the bottom seat? I have found that sometimes you have to give the top seat a little wiggle for it recline down and back up. Once you get the hang of it though, not a big issue. Overall, I love the stroller- we travel all around the world with it. Hope this helps!

YES! It's totally annoying. I assembled it correctly. The only solutions are A) lock the wheels--but then it's practically impossible to control/maneuver the stroller or B) add more weight to the front of the stroller-or have your dog sit near the front, or C) add another dog to your stroller. All options are out for me, and probably you, too. So, my last resort was to put a thicker crate pad down to absorb the shakiness so my dog won't be as annoyed as I am!!

We just bought the back spring, it gives a very short suspension then sometimes it bottom against the the parts of the wheel.

The front tire did not arrive with the package but they shipped it. So far I have not had problems but I think they are going to wear out in a shorter time than I anticipated. One thing, there are two settings for the wheels. For one, the wheels are allowed to move pretty freely (used in town or someplace where you make alot of turns). The second setting keeps the wheels basically locked forward (when out walking the dog basically straight). If the wheel is in the first setting when I walk the dog, the wheels wobble. I still love my "stroller" and so does my dog. If you are having a problem, call Pet Gear. They respond pretty quickly. The front tire did not arrive with the package but they shipped it.

Same problem here. Sorry to say we've had no luck getting the wheel(s) to stay on. Keep reattaching, but still no luck.

I find this stroller very hard to steer, and the wheels are terrible! But when I first got it I loved it....maybe i can get new wheels?
