Is the front wheel fixed. If we need to turn, do we lift the stroller always?

The front wheel is fixed, and yet to turn while running, I never felt like I had to jerk the stroller sideways or lift it in order to turn. e.g. turning around a corner while running, I would just point it in the that direction and run. Our previous lemon jogger did have that jerking/lifting sensation to turn and it was awful. This is an awesome jogger.

Yes it is fixed,however my daughter likes this much better and feels you have a lot more control of the stroller.She says that is no problem turning even if you have to turn! She loves this stroller it is very well built! I hope this helps you.

The front wheel is fixed on this model but there is an option for a front wheel that turns. Kind of wish we bought that one but once you get used to the fixed front wheel it's fine.

Depends on how fast you are going. When I walk, yes. When running, no. Also, sometimes it is a natural response to lift the front tire.

Yes. We bought this stroller a few months back. Although it is BEAUTIFUL, I disagree with the responders below. It sucks having to put pressure down on the bar all the time to lift the wheel. My elbows, wrists and arms hurt after a while. We live in the Bay Area - lots of turns and twists on trails and streets. Will likely be selling this model VERY soon. Not happy. One bit.

yup, there is break. but the front wheel is not so smooth when making turns.

I have used this stroller on very crooked/cracked sidewalks and the front wheels have never come apart. I go over bumps more slowly, tipping the stroller front up a little before going over the bump, so perhaps that's why it's never broken.

I have had no problem with the front wheels. Carrying a 60 lb bulldog. The stroller itself needs some better steering capabilites. Sometimes it is very hard to make corners and other turns.

The front wheel does not pivot. It's not a big problem for me. I just take wider turns.

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 (:

Yes, the front wheels turn with the handle. It works really well, we get a lot of use out of it.

we didn't have this problem. thething we had a problem with was the turning radius of the front tires...without wobbling. They sent us new tires..that eliminated the problem.

When I first used the stroller the front left wheel shook like crazy. It seemed like there was too much room between the wheel and the bar it fits onto. My husband just wrapped some masking tape around the bar and slipped the wheel back in place which made the wheel nice and snug. No shaking since!

The front wheel does shake quite a bit, so I would tilt the entire stroller when running. It's a great workout when you have to do that!!

No, the wheels are fixed. I actually found it difficult to control the bike when riding across a slant ---like a driveway across a sidewalk. The bike wants to go downhill.

If you flip the stroller over so you can see underneath where the wheel mounts, there are two screws that hold the plastic front cover. Once you get the screws off, pull that plastic cover off from the front exposeing the nut to the wheel mount. Tighten that nut, not too tight, then put back together.

I don't know, but the front wheels on this stroller suck. They get turned around constantly and you have to bend down to straighten them out or tilt the child back and hope they flip around. I wouldn't recommend this one.

I don't know but the stroller I have its' wheel are in good conditions still after more than 2 years of use. I still use it; my son is 3 years old. I highly recommended it. It's worth the price.

Yes, some times the front wheel will get stuck because they pivot a little, but you re-position it and it goes through just fine. I use it to take the babies into little stores :)

I had the same issue. Call Baby Jogger; they'll replace the front wheel if you're still under warranty.
