Can a Folding Mechanism Be Repaired or Does It Need Replacing?

In most cases, folding mechanisms can be repaired rather than replaced — saving you significant cost. Common fixes include lubricating seized joints, replacing broken locking pins, realigning bent frame sections, and replacing worn cables or buttons. We'll always advise you honestly on the most cost-effective solution.

How Much Does a Folding Mechanism Repair Cost?

Folding mechanism repairs start from £30. The exact cost depends on the fault and the pushchair model. We'll provide a full quote after assessment — no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

My pushchair is an older/discontinued model — can you still repair it?

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.

Is it safe to use a pushchair with a faulty folding mechanism?

We'd advise against it. A mechanism that doesn't lock correctly can collapse unexpectedly, which is a safety risk. Get it checked before your next use.

How long will the repair take?

Most folding mechanism repairs are completed within 3–5 working days of receiving your pushchair. We'll keep you updated throughout.

Do you offer a warranty on repairs?

Yes — all our repairs come with a 4-month warranty for peace of mind.
