    Default Vista front wheel keeps locking - UPDATED - Swapped the wheels!

    The front wheel on the Vista (2010) keeps locking into the fixed position and then quickly it unlocks. It's extremely annoying!!

    Anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong w/ it?

    ETA - Updated to say i swapped the wheels per Uppa Baby to see if the problem went away and it did. I've used it alot for 2 days w/o a problem. Now i'm lovin' my Vista!

    Take off your front wheel and make sure the locking mechanism is flush - so it's not sticking out at all. If it is sticking out at all it can catch and lock your wheel. Mine used to make "clicking noises" and that's what it ended up being on my stroller!

    HTH!

    I took both front wheels off, went for about a mile or so walk, and it never locked up...we'll see what happens when I go out tomorrow!

    I might try your advice with another stroller though. One of the front wheels of my MBUD keeps locking. I may take it off & try again.

    If the problem is not solved, contact Uppababy CS, they're wonderful. my 2009 Vista made a clicking noise when new, I called them and they sent a new wheel, ASAP, no questions asked.

    I did call them today because it's still doing it; they suggested switching the wheels to see if it's just one side or not (I think it's just the right side) and then to call them back. They answered on the first ring too!
