Squeaky BJCE

Jordynsmama · Jul 20, 2009

So my expensive stroller already is very very squeaky and I dont like it.
Its the suspension- the foot rest right above the front wheels-when it gets pressed down or anytime I am pushing it really it squeaks. What should I do?

Lovin always recommends silicone spray.

Silicone Spray.

If that doesn't do it then call Baby Jogger. They have awesome costumer service. :thumbsup:

i little shot of WD40 should take care of it.

MySillyKids · Jul 20, 2009

WD40 isn't really recommended, because it attracts dust, IIRC.

Yes, silicone or Teflon spray is recommended for strollers.

It's best to spray your stroller once a month. Hope that solves your problem!

Have you been taking it on the beach?

So where exactly do I spray it? On the screws on the suspension? Can I get it at target or something?
No girl I am not taking that thing on the beach! I am buying a used lightweight double umbrella of CL for the beach and to take them from my car to my apt. We have just been to the beach once so far and we carried them. That was fun.
Im too scared to mess it up! I already left the flap form the console out of the trunk and the door closed on it and made a small tear and oil stains

Anyway thanks!!

yes, WD40 does attract dust, but only when it's overdone, silly.

most people spray that stuff like crazy. correctly done, it's incredibly effective and won't attract dirt.

and honestly, isn't a small amount of dust preferable to any of the other mess toddlers cause on strollers?

i've never had good luck with silicone or graphite sprays, except in locks. never for squeaks.

spray a small amount only where you can identify the squeak coming from. it is probably at a point where the plastic foot rest is rubbing against a part of the stroller frame, not the screw. wipe off any excess visible spray.
