“A major warning against Britax Vigour 3+ I did...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 01/10/2010

A major warning against Britax Vigour 3+ I did extensive research into prams and it sounded perfect because it was a three wheeler which faced forwards and backwards and has the moveable handle great if you or your partner are tall. It assembles easily and seemed great until I started using it. When the front wheel is unlocked it is dangerous because it tips as you are trying to go up and down kerbs and even if there are dips in the pavement. My 10 month old was in the pram yesterday and I pushed the pram over a dip in the pavement, the wheel went into the dip and the pram tipped forwards completely and fell on its side, thank goodness my baby was OK because the hood protected his head but he got a horrible fright and it could have been really nasty. I caught the weight of the pram on my shin as it fell and have a huge bruise. I have seen other reviews where people say tipping is a problem, so be warned! The problem is that when the front wheel is locked it is difficult to steer because it only wants to go in one direction and it is heavy and awkward to keep shifting the back wheels to alter the direction. I don't ever want to use this pram again, I don't want to sell it on to anyone and Britax are not being particularly helpful so I have potentially lost out financially too.

Technically speaking, that's called operator error.
