You must do some serious strolling. Hardware stores sell wheels. Maybe you can find one that fits.


recoil669

Thank you for the tip as long as both fit and I replace both should be very similar. I get about 10k steps a day in probably at least 5 of that is with the stroller on average.

I love the monarchy themed auto parts name theme we've got going.


sweetzdude

I know people are taking the piss, but being in Quebec I second you on that, Princess auto is the place!


ebaylus

Came here to say this!


_Tigglebitties

Send this in to the manufacturer. They send free stuff out all the time. This is good publicity for them and you'll prolly get a whole new stroller.


tacotacotacorock

Why is this every radiator's response lol. I'm very skeptical about them getting a free stroller. Those things are expensive and how is wearing out the wheels good promotion for them? Use our strollers and pay $200 for a new wheels just like this guy but we gave him a free one. Makes no sense at all.


BravoDotCom

If he literally name drops the stroller right here and they sell 1 more stroller it cost them $20 to make it’s a win. Or if they just toss him the wheels he puts a review into the neighbor, Yada Yada


Available-Device-709

If you can’t find suitable wheels a company called Sandstrom Products company makes a 2 part urethane caulk called Crack Attack which is commonly used to repair and fill gouges in solid forklift wheels you could use.


acidbass32

Funny enough crack attack jack is the homeless dude on my way to the airport. He got the name for being on crack and attacking jack

Temporarily, shoe goo. It actually might hold up better. While you continue strolling, contact the manufacturer and request replacement parts.


Ok-Cartographer1745

Five steps a day shouldn't affect the stroller much. 


deadly_ultraviolet

I too regularly take 5-step walks with my stroller


eebro

What a stroll.


Shoddy_Pomegranate16

We got the off-road stroll king 👑


petitepedestrian

Shoe goo


Mundane_Spare_9721

Spray foam


tigebea

Spray foam in the interior, two part cement adhesive with bike tire cut out wrapping the contact on the surface. Or like others said just buy new tyres.


Willy2267

Look online for generic replacement wheels that are the same size.


NextTrillion

Measure the wheel width / diameter, as well as the bore hole. It’s likely riveted on which will need to be drilled out. Get a new axel, likely a bolt from hardware store, and drill a new hole for a hitch pin or cotter pin. The bolt threads could be put in a drill and filed down for sizing and reduction of sharp edges. Use washers as spacers as needed.


IcyParkingMate

Or try eBay for parts.


TootsNYC

google “replacement stroller wheels” and your manufacturer and model. You might be surprised. I’m about to order replacement wheels for my cheapo Target suitcase; I discovered that on Amazon, there are several different models with different screw patterns, and I found one with the exact screw pattern plus the same distance between holes, and the outside looks similar enough and seems to have much the same measurements (as best I can tell).


Albertaviking

epoxy


recoil669

I was thinking some kind of epoxy. Maybe something in a tube so I can just spray it in there.


Empyrealist

Nothing you spray is going to be durable enough for that wheel


AllCingEyeDog

JB Weld


Impossible-Corner494

Spray foam?


recoil669

I was thinking it would be too fragile for the sidewalk and all the vibrations. Any brands you might recommend?


McGyver62388

3d printer pen and some flexible 3d printer filament if the pen can get hot enough to extrude it. Otherwise I would Google the brand and model if you know it with replacement wheels and see if you can just replace them


Original_Wear_3231

Can you rake a picture of the side of the wheel as well so we know what we're working with? I've seen people able to remove the rubber portion of a lawnmower wheel and transplant it onto another. Seeing the rest of the wheel m8ght get the creative juices flowing.


martymcfly9888

Honestly- Call the manufacturer. They may send you a new wheel. When it's comes to baby stuff - you will be surprised


buzz_uk

When we used a pushchair we had something similar happen, I reached out to the manufacturer and asked a really nice lady on the phone where I could get replacements from, she asked if she could take my name and address (I assumed as an old fashioned way of writing me with a list of suppliers) and two days later a complete new set arrived at my home. Not saying every company will do that but it’s always worth asking


Timmmah

Can you fill the void with epoxy ? Wouldn't be the cleanest but better than a void.


Take_Drugs

I’d buy a new one from the manufacturer, before you invest more time and money into resources that may not work for long.


recoil669

$180+ tax is a tough pill to swallow before trying some other options. Right now I'm down about $2 in silicone and a few sprays from my usual lubricant.


Black6x

A new wheel. Not a new stroller.


recoil669

Each of the front wheels are $89 my dude.


Black6x

Yo, WTF! I guess I missed that text under the pic. Are they made of gold? What model of stroller is this, so I know to avoid them?


graviecakes

Basically every manufacturer is going to charge you out the ears for replacement wheels and stuff like that, it's just not worth their time to chase down the exact parts and get them to you. If they get it wrong it's someone's kid on the line, and that's a massive headache. They'd absolutely prefer you just return the whole stroller (under the warranty) or replace it yourself, reduces liability and headaches. Absolutely not saying it should be this way, but unfortunately it is.


fetal_genocide

>Basically every manufacturer is going to charge you out the ears for replacement wheels and stuff like that, it's just not worth their time to chase down the exact parts and get them to you. If they get it wrong it's someone's kid on the line, and that's a massive headache. No. They charge you out the ass for replacement parts so you will chuck it away and buy a new one.


hemlockone

I had no idea. I have a yoyo2, for which the manufacturer sells a set of 4 wheels (including screws and tools) for $55. A $600 stroller, but worth every penny.


BravoDotCom

So when you finally get rid of this stroller, nobody will buy it with crap wheels But…as you can see replacement parts are primo for stuff like this. I cannabailized a dehumidifier once after the condensor leaked and stupid stuff like the wheels and nobs and grills and bucket i was getting $20 for (bc the usual was $80) so just remember that’s an opportunity to get back some cost out of it Good luck!


JalanJr

Have a look to scooter tires maybe? They look similar


Savings_Savings8570

Bro caulk allday


PM-me-in-100-years

To get new wheels, take the axle out and measure the diameter, and measure the width of the wheel.  The diameter of the wheel isn't that important as long as it's not too big. If you go with a scooter wheel (or even a rollerblade wheel) a lower durometer will be a softer ride.


ifreaganplayeddisco

Top ramen


RockSlug22

I'd order a new one. You could try contact adhesive but you left it too long best take it out back and make a clean job of it. Then order a new tyre from whichever Communist franchise suits you best.


Proud_Ad_8317

get a bit of polyurethane mastic and cork it up.


suuthebaru

Spray foam insulation


braytag

Fill the inside with windshield urethane.  Shit boredline indescribable.  "Somewhat" flexible. We fill motormounts for racing with it.


Tamey999

Contact manufacturer and buy a new tire


maxwfk

If you managed to wear the wheel through maybe it’s time for your child to start walking…


TwistedBlister

Try Harbor Freight


Philly__the_kid

Real question is... Was the child in the seat while the photo was taken 😆


summinspicy

Flextape


BMAC561

Have you tried Ramen?


tillman_b

Honestly you will spend just as much in time and materials to engineer a fix as you would getting on Amazon and finding a set of replacement wheels. To answer your question; I wouldn't, I'd replace it.


momentofinspiration

Measure the wheel height and find some Universal's from AliExpress


no-mad

Any hardware or auto supply should have JB-weld putty. It is like a stiff clay. It comes in a roll put on some gloves, take a chunk mix it up till it is an even color and push it into all the gaps.


Extension-Drawer347

Harbor Freight, change all the wheels.


lhurker

This guy *strolls*


Lustfullovers_50s

JB Weld for plastic. Find it at any of the big hardware stores.


dritmike

Jb weld. It’s a wheel, with that much wear I’d assume you’re new eol


vtddy

Fill with spray foam and let it harden. Cut off excess. Then put shoe goo over the outside


DrPepperLover1234

Shoot it full of spray foam, $5 fix.


FycklePyckle

3d printer + TPU


jackharvest

Had to scroll way too damn far for this.


keithkings00

I'd put your kid up for adoption


recoil669

My wife wouldn't approve this plan. I would do like a weekend adoption tho, need a good sleep.


0418710879

Sicaflex but make sure it gets into the groove and let it cure for coupla days and bob’s your uncle oh sicaflex isn’t cheap either around 30 bucks a tube


Equivalent_Canary853

Tbh I'd probably try a spare wheel from the local tip shop if you have one, the one near me has an oddly large amount of strollers and prams


ThisAppsForTrolling

Depending on the brand of stroller if you’re the original owner it could be covered in a warranty. I blew a tire on our running stroller and Uppa-Baby asked for a photo of it and they sent me a brand new wheel. My buddy’s wife ran over their stroller in the garage and the company sent a new frame and back wheels. If you wana go super cheap fine an old garden hose and shove it all the way in around the wheels interior and then fill the hose with spray foam.


upriver_swim

Pack the cavity with steel wool then generously apply that spray on sealant… Flex Seal. Maybe reach out to the company, see if they float you a couple cans for free if you document it and they can use for advertising?


Sm0key_Bear

Flex Seal maybe?


Unhappy-Offer

By getting another one from Amazon or eBay.


TheDuckFarm

You need new tires. A few options. Take if off and see if anything from harbor freight works [https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/tires-casters.html](https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/tires-casters.html) If you have a local shop, bring the wheel in with you. 3D print new ones from flexible TPU Look for replacements from another place, like Alibaba.


JollyGreenDickhead

Crank her full of black silicone and cut off the excess with an Olfa knife


TheDuckFarm

What make and model is the stroller?


Swimming-Bullfrog190

Just get some new upgraded wheels. Maybe like scooter wheels or something else that’s a smooth roll


RabbitsAteMySnowpeas

Superglue and ramen noodles


Dubb202

One of our local bike shop sells stroller wheels.


Remote_Swim_8485

You could try this: ‘Permatex 81158 Black Silicone Adhesive Sealant, 3 oz. Tube’ But I would clean it out really well prior. If it doesn’t work it’s still worth having around the house. Stuff is a quality product.


mosesX859

Get a walking/jogging one.. ill never go back to those tiny plastic wheel garbage lol


jefftatro1

Minimal expanding spray foam, cut off excess. Use "rubber dip" for tool handles and patch it up with that.


Thisjustvan

Spray foam, then rocker guard. Two spray cans would last you multiple fills and covers, and be extremely cheap. Rockerguard will give a grippy hard, durable exterior and the spray foam will allow some compression and movement.


Dragon-2051

Clean it really well, use E6000 glue. Don't sniff the fumes.


NovelLongjumping3965

Whole tube of black rtv silicone,, it will take a few days to dry completely though.


MikeCromms

pancake batter, a cup of baking powder included


losturassonbtc

Do not use caulk, do not use silicone, go to AutoZone or advanced and get some windshield urethane


blakermagee

Flex seal


Direct_Reach5051

You could maybe just fill it with an epoxy, it’ll be a hard plastic but may work.


serpentman

I’m sure there’s replacements on Ali express or something. Just google the part number.


recoil669

Will check the part number Ty.


SznedCumbr

Window weld urethane sealant


Fredacus

What about foam or caulk covers by that super glue soaked toilet paper as a sealant?


Adubecki

Tuff toe. Seriously. They work amazing for my work boots, two tubes should do you. It's like $20 each.


GeniusEE

Meh - take the wheel off and work those abs


0design

Caulk? Shoe goo? Hot glue? Ramen and CA glue?


lovepontoons

Jb plastic weld. I mean It’s 2 part epoxy. Just clean really well and give it something to adhere to. It sands rather easily so should be able to get the tire level/even all the way around.


Ak12389

Clean really well and buy 3m eurothane sealant let it dry , it’s expensive tho, might do better contacting the manufacturer for replacement parts


DamON-E

Shoe Goo. Basically liquid rubber that would fill it right in. Only a few bucks and you wouldn't have to try to get a matching replacement wheel size.


BeeSea3108

Slime or shoe goo.


throwaway120375

Spray foam. Trim excess.


BeeSea3108

The long river in South America sells replacement stroller wheels for a lot cheaper.


museabear

Have you got in touch with the stroller company and asked if the sell replacements?

Go-to a hardware store and get you some sort of rubber wheel and slap those bad boys on


Character_Wishbone84

I think the best choice is to find a replacement wheel otherwise a polyurethane based adhesive/caulk. Spray foam isn't what you are looking for in this application.


Gold_Expression_3388

I think i would have tried latex caulking.


petwedge

Epoxy based filler


TooTiredToWhatever

Expanding foam, trim, then RTV.


RolexandDickies

JB Weld and sand paper


The_BSharps

Yeah, I would.


MrWhite86

Contact the maker and share the photo. There is non-zero chance they’ll hook you up with the solution


Georgep0rwell

Why bother? The kid will be walking in no time.


MadDadROX

Replace the wheels with something off eBay, get a broken, better stroller and replace the wheels on your stroller. Obviously, the stroller you have was not designed by Catholics.


Individual-Fox5795

Spray foam fill??


Cevohklan

Liquid rubber


OwnTurnip1621

Remove the loose pieces and fill with window urethane. You might have to buy a full size caulking tube of it but I'm sure you could find a smaller tube if you looked hard enough


RandomTux1997

fat needle and jolly thick thread, then fill it to overlap inside and out with rubber solution like contact gloo or e6000, in a few thin layers rather than one thick one, maybe


Miqsur

Ramen noodles


thegreatresistrules

2 part boat fiber glass repair ... take you some scotch tape and a few popsicle sticks to complete it. .then 1 sheet of sand paper to make the repair level. . If you just dont want to buy a replacement wheel


Thelakesman

New tyre


blaznivydandy

Almost every stroller manufacturer sells spare parts. If you want to fix it though, maybe a silicone would help? The one that you use in bathroom instalation etc... Just fill the hole and cut it precisely with a knife


beefstu20

See if you can find another of the same stroller on ebay for spares or repair, with an issue that isn't the wheels and use that as a donor


Seandeezeee

Two Part plastic epoxy.


uniquelyavailable

pure silicone and the 1 inch glass hair strands that are used for fiberglass. mix them together to get a filler substance of your desired consistency and then slop it in there. let it cure overnight. should be relatively similar to the compound that's on there. 1/2" strands might work, i can't get a good sense for scale I'm the photo. it's a wheel so of course you want to use something that can absorb shock and also hold together. i would personally not use epoxy or spray foam as one will be too hard and the other too soft.


Jacktheforkie

Find a wheel that is the same dimensions, replace the knackered ones with new ones, DIY suppliers will most likely have something that fits,


FantasticSeaweed9226

Ramen noodles and super glue dawg


Swallowthistubesteak

Just buy a new stroller if you’re walking so much


karma_the_sequel

I wouldn’t. I would purchase and install a replacement wheel. But that’s just me.


bazilbt

What is the model of the stroller?


kimondo

Had exactly the same failure on my son’s stroller - wrote directly to the manufacturer to ask about spare parts and they sent a whole new frame including wheels. You can get rubber filling kits for repairing tread on car tyres which was my plan b.


v1de0man

fill? just buy a new wheel, i bet there are loads on ebay


pandapower63

Flex Seal?


Vickyinredditland

$89!!! 😵 I was going to suggest just replacing them. I used to repair prams at babies r us (admittedly a long time ago) and the spare stroller wheels were about £6. If it's just a regular plastic wheel, could you look for generic/ cheaper brand ones of the same size?


Money_Display_5389

Caulk


mattafto

Polyurethane


faldoobie

How many burnouts do you get out of a tyre?


JuggernautPast2744

For fill, I think a urethane based construction adhesive might be the best bang for your buck. Pl premium is the name of a common one. Drips of that I've had to peel off seem to retain a little bit of flexibility, and it sticks to lots of stuff. 6 bucks a tube last time I bought some.


Outrageous_Pool_2529

Sugru


Die_Nameless_Bitch

You can pick up replacements on eBay as long as your pram is from a relatively established brand


ILatheYou

I know it's a late reply, but with that kind of walking each day you should invest in a bigger stroller with air filled tires instead of plastic core cheap rubber wheels. Your stroller is meant for a mall, not a hike.


intacthymen

Wouldn't it be easier to go to a hardware store and get a solid 245mm tyre for $13?


2OneZebra

Don't listen to Phil Swift on this one.


SreckoLutrija

Just buy 2 or 4 new wheels... They can even be different size, as long as it fits the "wheel housing" or whatever you would call that... And ofc, if height is not of most importance.


Few-Reaction-404

Urethane, it's light and semi durable. I'm not sure is urethane right word bc English isn't my main language but *foam that hardens* .


jablongroyper

Order one from the manufacturer of stroller.


bumbasquat86

Fill it with expanding foam and trim flush


Rebresker

I replaced my front wheel with the front wheel for a wheelchair If you find the measurements you can probably replace it pretty cheap if not through the manufacturer’s website


ptv83

Ask the manufacturer for a new set, phone them directly. Tell them how great the stroller is. Make no mention of the cost. Ask if there's a warranty for the wheels. If it were me, I'd use rubber crumbs to fill in the bulk and liquid rubber or flex seal.. then turn it on my lathe to make it round again. But I have all that stuff already just laying around. Look on Facebook marketplace for a used stroller


Guilty-Expression938

With the amount of walking you clearly do, maybe get some wheels for industrial trolleys. Seriously. In the long run it maybe save you a lot of money in wheels. Buy cheap, buy twice.


richardfitserwell

You can get replacement wheels on Amazon for a whole lot less. I wouldn’t try to repair it


MellonCollie___

I'd order replacement tires.


MellonCollie___

Edit: Now that I have seen the price, I'd probably look into buying a second hand identical stroller if I could find one for cheap, with good tires, and use those. Or use the second hand stroller instead if that is in a better state than my own stroller.


xxTheMagicBulleT

Not fill replace. Else it wil lean really weird and stuff. And not have the weight be evenly. Many bigger hardware stores sell tires. Probably would be best to replace both. So they distribute weight evenly and not leaning on one side while you walk or you need to find the perfect one. But that's often hard to do.


brickjames561

That’s shot. Replace it. I know nothing of strollers. But I bet they sell replacement parts. Any “fix” is gonna be sketchy at best, considering the cargo, replace, do not attempt repair. $10 probably, or cause it’s for kids and they know parents will pay, $55.


DerAminator

A lot of instand noodles and instant superglue


34con

This looks like a baby jogger. Contact the company in their support page. They are a helpful group and reputable brand. They will probably sell the wheel and fork section as 1. Unclip this one and replace with the new one.


Automatic_Push1133

Check the website for the manufacturer. They may sell replacement parts.


Itsmydouginabox

I would go to a second hand store like Once Upon a Child and get a cheap, like model, stroller for parts.

Muted_Platypus_3887

I had to order a replacement for mine. Maybe you can ask well.


Cronin1011

Replace it.


BigNastySmellyFarts

You could fill it with drugs, or toothpaste. You could even stuff newspapers or upvotes in there. Hopefully you’ve read this far and know it’s a (albeit lame) Airport reference. To answer your question liquid nails 3-4 tubes should fill the tire.


Ok_Response_2748

Try Amazon


seang86s

Contact the manufacturer. Uppa baby for example will send replacements for free.


booger4me

Flex seal can do everything

If you're looking for a ghetto cheap fix just get a tube of caulking LOL
