How to make fixed wheels swivel?

Marichou77 • 09 Nov 2023

Hi, I bought a Baby Merc S6 stroller. I didn't realize that the wheels are fixed. Do you know if there is a way to make them mobile? Because it makes the walks painful for my shoulders. Thank you for your help. Marie-Helene

(from original French: Bonjour, j'ai acheté une poussette baby merc S6. Je n'avais pas vu que les roues sont fixes. Savez-vous s'il y a moyen de les rendre mobiles. Car ça rend les promenades pénibles pour mes épaules. Merci pour votre aide. Marie-Helene)

Hi, Marie-Helene,

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. To make wheels swivel, the frame would have to be designed completely differently. So my best advice is to change the pram (sell and buy a different one, even if second-hand), or somehow get used to it - there is no remedy to fix fixed wheels.

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
