We have the B-Agile and have difficulty to turn and steer since the front wheel remains misaligned and skids. Does anyone else have this issue?

I had this problem too. I contacted Britax to get a new wheel and it works much better now!

We had this problem about a month after owning the stroller. It became like a bad shopping cart that you had to fight to push along! I called Britax and they sent a replacement wheel free of charge and that seemed to solve our problem.

Mines run smooth,easy turns,no skids..if you had it for awhile im sure its just regular wear and tear as would anyother stroller but if its new .than did you try checking if your front wheel unlocked?that maybe the problem?or maybe its backwards? If not id definately return and get a new if possible and contact where you bought it from..hope that helps (:

No, ours works great. You might want to notify the manufacturer about getting a replacement.

There is a lock on the front wheel make sure that it is unlocked. It that happened to me once before but if unlocked it works great

I had the same problem with the wheel and almost returned it. you have to put the trike down on its wheels and wack it with a hammer.

No, this is the older model of the B-Agile. It is very similar, but not the same.

No. My wheel still works fine. I have had mine for a few months with continuous use.

The britax website where I looked seems it could be. I have the b agile. The customer service at britax is excellent, try calling them.

I did not have this problem. The wheel has gone on easily for me. Actally, in your case, it sounds like there was a factory malfunction...just a fluke. Mine has been great for years, other than the wheel coming off a couple of times. I hope this info helps you.....Cathy

The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things. First the chain may have just come of the front or rear sprocket. Just push down on chain tensioner and put chain back on. Secound sounds like the Freewheel mechanism (racketing system) may have broken. This has not happened to me (yet) but I hear it is a common problem especially with older MX (2-3yrs old or older models). The rear sproket will turn but back wheel will not turn with it. Only way to fix is to buy complete rear wheel assembly (only way it comes) but does come with new wheel, tire, tube, sproket, completely ready to go. "Razorama.com" sells them on line for $45.00 + shipping. Hope this helps. Gary..

I do not know for sure, but backspacing might be the culprit. A wider wheel might have different backspacing. Just a thought.

The tires themselves are not the problem as long as you stay on sidewalks. The BIG problem with the Ultimate Wagon wheels is the front wheels which swivel as the wagon is pulled. When pulling at any more than dead slow speed, the oscillate back and forth making a very poor virbrating and noisy ride. Needs to be fixed somehow. I will try direct contact with American Flyer.

Had this set for a few months now and never had this happen to us. I hadn't seen the warning about locking the front wheels but I definitely noticed that its much harder to steer with the carseat attached due to the weight being shifted more to the front above the front wheels. I sprayed some WD-40 on the front wheel area that rotates and it helped this issue a lot. Other than this steering issue we've had no other problems/complaints with this system. I haven't rated this item but I'd rate a 4 star if I do.

The front wheel doesn not pivot, you must lift it slightly off the ground to turn it. It's easy to push for sure, but turning it will require lifting it up a little.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

Hi Diamond Girl,Try lubricating the front wheel with some WD40. Maybe the front wheel is sticking a bit and not responding to the handle! Good luck, Alison.

I have been more than satisfied with the improvement of steering and Tire wobble. I have a jeep Cherokee sport. I put 3''lift n 16 inch tires. Handles excellent!! I'm happy!

I find it difficult to stear mine with one hand. The front wheel often gets stuck in one direction and if I need to push it in a different direction I either have to do a little back and forth pushing to get it straightened out, or I need to use both hands. It seems other people don't have a problem. This is one of my main complaints about this stroller. Perhaps it could be because I am 5'0, so a taller person may have less difficulty??
