Buggy Pitstop (or other repairs services)?

We've had good and bad experiences with them. Our Bugaboo's collapsing mechanism failed on one side 2 years ago and Buggy PitStop fixed the problem, then a year later the other side went and we sent it off to them again. Paid quite a lot of money (around ?130, think this was including couriers) for them to fix it again. They said it was fixed but when it was returned to us the catch on one side kept releasing making the buggy really unstable to push. We returned it to them but they insisted that it was due to incorrect use ? I resented this remark as having used Bugaboos for almost 5 years I did know how to open and close my buggy! We returned it to them a second time; this time we actually dropped it off at their Wembley workshop but again they insisted it was fine. We collected in person to try to show them it was still broken but annoyingly the fault didn't present itself while we were there ? even when I demonstrated opening and closing it. I foolishly thought maybe it was fixed but as soon as we got it home, it wasn't working again. We had to admit defeat ? luckily we were coming to the end of our buggy use and now have a MacLaren Quest which is perfect for light use.

So I would say if it's an easy fix like wheels, they are probably okay on that but if you have a more complicated issue like ours was, it's not worth meddling with it.

Also had mixed results, I found their customer service to be really rubbish.


It took them ages to confirm that they had the part I needed. Then they misprocessed my payment. It was all sorted in the end, but I was annoyed with the time and number of emails it took!


I think they are a fairly small company and suffer from getting overwhelmed from time to time.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
