Is there anyway to adapt the front wheel so that it will swivel? I didn't realize the implications of a fixed wheel for everyday use.

No. For an additional one hundred dollars you can buy the model with a swivel wheel.

Nope. If you want a swivel wheel you'll want one of the revolutions. But they don't have a handbrake if that's important to you. Or well actually the newer one does, that pro one, not sure if that's out yet.

No, it is fixed and this is the only issue with the cart. When locked in place it gives a leftward bias. We only walk with it so it is not a real issue and anyway your weight will mostly be on the handle thus slightly lifting the front wheel and negating the issue. You turn by directing the rear wheels anyway, meaning subtle inputs from your hands. It is beautifully balanced i should add!

It does not swivel, which I like. It's not that hard to push down or pull back to lift the front when you want to make a greater turn. I bought this because the front wheel does NOT swivel. Attaching it to my bike, however, has been a nightmare. I may be returning this.

The wheel in the front swivels but the rear wheels follow the handlebars. You'll never have to back up to turn - I highly recommend it.

I don't have a quick release on my rear wheel, and the screws that are on my rear wheel are so tight, I couldn't even get them to unscrew. (Don't know what I'm going to do when I need to replace the back tire, guess will have to take to bike shop!) Anyway, I was able to get the screws to lock into place where the skewer would go on the trainer, and it is really sturdy. You might want to try that.

I just recently got mine. The wheels on mine are not good quality. The front wheel will not swivel.

With a little ingenuity I guess you could. Drill a hole on each leg then attach swivel wheels. It should work. Good luck

Yes the front wheels do swivel. The brakes worked well and you get instructions to adjust them if needed. It was one of the best investments I have made since I have very bad knees.

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

The location of the lever to change the front wheel from fixed to swivel. I believe it is on the side of the stroller on the 2013 model and on the handle on the 2014 model.

I just took it out of my closet where I stored it after removing it from my bike and tried to swivel it to point forward and if I loosen the bolt that holds it in the position needed for viewing I discovered that you can make it swivel a whole 360 degrees for any angle you would need, although I can't picture how someone would use it that way.

This model can not be converted into a swivel wheel. If you are a serious jogger, this is the best stroller. When you are on a run... the front wheel not moving left or right is very safe! There are other Jeep models I'm sure with swivel wheels. Hope this helps... enjoy!

I don't think so- it there a quick release on the rear wheel? You would have to be able to remove the skewer from the rear wheel to replace with the one included. I had an old 10 speed with a quick release and we still had to modifiy with washers because it was not the standard size for newer wheels.

Is not recommendable, but yes you can. Just need to find the way to hold the cover. If it is just ine wheel, it will be out of the cover.

Kurt Kinetic makes an adaptor to use if you have smaller wheels. I have a 20 real wheel and I had to get the adaptor for it. It can be taken off and on with a couple tools for using standard size wheels and the 20" and smaller.Jim

I didn't have that problem. However, I've read in reviews that the wheel does loosen up. Actually, now that I think about it, it has gotten a lot looser.

Not really a swivel, more like remove hight adjustment knob, raise press off pole, rotate press 90 degrees, reinstall press on pole, reinstall adjustment nut and bolt
