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.

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By No-flies · Posted

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      By G22 · Posted

      A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?

      They are people.  That's how people often behave.
