How to change the wheel on your Babyzen YOYO stroller: practical tips

October 19, 2023

The Babyzen YOYO stroller is known for its compact design and versatility, making it a popular choice for families on the go. However, occasionally, it may be necessary to replace a damaged or worn wheel.

Changing a wheel on your Babyzen YOYO stroller isn't a complicated task, but it does require a little attention and care. In this article, we'll explain how to do this procedure yourself. And if you ever feel unsure or have questions, we recommend contacting BUBU, the official Babyzen YOYO workshop, for advice and support.

Step 1: Gather your tools
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary tools on hand to change the wheel on your Babyzen YOYO stroller. You'll need a wrench or a spanner, and of course, the spare wheel you purchased. All YOYO models share the same wheel.
Step 2: Preparation

Place the stroller on a flat, stable surface. Make sure it's turned off and the seat or carrycot is removed.
Identify the wheel you need to replace. Generally, front and rear wheels can be replaced in a similar manner, but the technique may vary slightly depending on the model.

Step 3: Remove the damaged wheel

Use the wrench or adjustable wrench to loosen and remove the lug nuts securing the wheel. Turn counterclockwise to loosen them.
Once the lug nuts are loose, you can remove the damaged wheel. Be careful not to lose any small parts that may be on the wheel, such as washers or spacers.

Step 4: Install the new wheel

Place the spare tire in the same location as the old tire. Make sure the lug nuts and mounting holes match.
Retighten the nuts with the wrench or adjustable wrench, turning clockwise. Make sure they are snug, but not overtight.

Step 5: Verification
Once you've installed the spare wheel, check that it's securely fastened and rotates properly. Turn the stroller over and make sure the wheels operate smoothly and that there's no play in the wheel.
Step 6: Final adjustment
Tighten any loose or misaligned parts before using the stroller again. Make sure all parts are in place and working properly.

If at any point during this process you feel unsure or encounter difficulties, we strongly recommend contacting BUBU, the official Babyzen YOYO workshop . They are experienced in repairing and maintaining YOYO strollers and can provide you with professional advice and assistance.

In short, changing the wheel on your Babyzen YOYO stroller is a task you can do yourself by following these steps.

Keeping your stroller in good condition is essential to ensuring your child's safety and comfort, so don't hesitate to seek advice when necessary.
