  "title": "Known weaknesses of the listed stroller frames",
  "question": "Do these stroller frames have known weaknesses or unresolved mechanical problems?",
  "answer": "Bugaboo Buffalo Chassis: If one side of the frame will not click into the chassis, the cause is usually the small spring inside the locking mechanism working loose after the stroller was knocked about (in a car or at an airport) and the two halves of the clamp coming apart; reassembling them with the spring back in place and the locking tab angled downwards restores the click. Once the clamp is off, the worn or damaged part — the clip, the arm or the locking internals — can be identified, lubricated with silicone spray if needed, and replaced before snapping the clamp back together, making sure the angled piece faces upward and the spring is still present. Bugaboo stopped selling the Buffalo; the model ran from 2013 to 2018.\nBabyzen-dc YOYO2 Ultra Compact Frame: Good run and small turning; comfortable to push, though one-handed pushing can wobble side to side. Compact and light for London buses and trains; better than a large double pram, but not recommended for bumpy country roads.\nBugaboo Bee 3: One user found the Bee 3 seat unit messier than the Bee Plus, getting in the way when turning it round, and jammed it once because the foam had not been pushed fully forward.",
