Learn how to diagnose and fix a loose BuggyBoard connector bolt, including when to tighten it and when to replace it with genuine Lascal spares.
Quick answer
A loose BuggyBoard connector bolt usually needs tightening with a clockwise turn, but if the bolt is stripped or worn, you will need a genuine Lascal replacement pair.
Why the bolt may not stay tight
The connector bolt holds the cotter pin that attaches the BuggyBoard to your pram. Over time, vibration and regular use can loosen it. If you have already tried tightening it and the bolt still feels loose or spins freely, the threads are likely worn or the bolt itself is damaged. Tightening a damaged bolt will not solve the problem and can risk the BuggyBoard detaching while you walk.
When to replace instead of tighten
If the bolt turns without resistance or you notice visible wear on the threads, replace the pair. Genuine Lascal connector bolts are sold as a pair and are compatible with both Mini and Maxi BuggyBoard models. Using non-genuine parts can affect the fit and safety of the BuggyBoard.
Diagnosis and fix steps
- Symptom: The BuggyBoard connector bolt feels loose, or the BuggyBoard wiggles when attached.
- Likely cause: Normal loosening from use, or a stripped/worn bolt thread if tightening does not help.
- Corrective action: Turn the connector bolt clockwise while gently pulling on the opposite strap to tighten it. If the bolt still spins without tightening, stop and proceed to replacement. If the bolt tightens and holds, the fix is complete.
- If the bolt does not tighten: Remove the old bolt and replace it with a genuine Lascal pair. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation. Do not use a damaged bolt—replace it to keep the BuggyBoard secure.
