Is It Safe to Use a Pushchair With Faulty Brakes?
No — we'd strongly advise against it. A brake that doesn't hold correctly is a serious safety risk, particularly on slopes, near roads, or when leaving the pushchair unattended. If your brakes feel unreliable, get them checked before your next outing.
How Much Does a Pushchair Brake Repair Cost?
Brake repairs start from £30. The exact cost depends on the fault and the pushchair model — cable replacements are typically straightforward, while seized or worn brake assemblies may require more work. We'll provide a full quote after assessment with no hidden fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace pushchair brake cables?
Yes. Brake cable replacement is one of the most common repairs we carry out. We stock cables for a wide range of models and can source parts for discontinued pushchairs too.
My pushchair is an older or discontinued model — can you still repair the brakes?
Yes. We specialise in discontinued models and older pushchairs that other repairers turn away. If we can source or fabricate the part, we'll fix it.
How long will a brake repair take?
Most brake repairs are completed within 3–5 working days of receiving your pushchair. We'll keep you updated throughout.
Do you offer a warranty on brake repairs?
Yes — all our repairs come with a 4-month warranty for peace of mind.
