Hi Libby,

We have tested out the JIVE and METRO in some of the smallest cars on the market like the Fiat 500 and Nissan Micra and they both fit easily.

JIVE

Are the frames on the jive 2017 and the jive platinum the same? Will my basket, wheels, seats, every fit the jive platinum?

1 answer

RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Jadine,

The frame for the 2017 and Platinum are compatible with existing baskets seats etc but the wheels are not compatible due to the new 2018 braking system which isn't compatible with the 2017 rear wheels.

Please reach out to the team if you have any questions at all on 1300 344 964, we are more than happy to assist.

Maryasked

JIVE

Hi, just wondering if it’s normal for the bassinet to sea saw (tilt up and down due to the babies weight)? The brackets don’t seem to be ridged
Also what age (and weight) can you have the baby in the bassinet for?
Thanks

1 answer
Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Mary,

It is normal for the bassinet to have movement once it has been locked into the adaptors. The movement is part of the pram suspension and lessens the impact of bumps etc to baby while they are in the pram. If you are concerned at all, it is best to reach out to customer care on 1300 344 964 or [email protected] and we can assist :)

Hi Natasha,

The JIVE 2 range is coming to an end as we have the 2020 range arriving in late February 2020. We have designed the new accessories to be compatible with existing models (like the second seat conversion kits).

Please contact customer care on 1300 344 964 if you have any questions.

When using the pram in tandem can the bassinet sit at the bottom with the seat at the top?

I'm actually not sure, I haven't myself used the tandem feature yet. If I were you I would contact the Redsbaby team directly :) Good luck!

Hi Lauren,

The tandem setup only allows the toddler seat to be in the lower position. You can then use a capsule/bassinet or main seat in the upper part of the pram. I hope this helps. RB Team xx

Im not sure tbh - I would contact someone from the Redsbaby team to check. We used a Britax capsule with an adapter - I dont know about other brands.

Hi Sridattha,

Unfortunately, the Chicco capsules aren't compatible with Redsbaby prams. You can see the range of capsules that we are compatible with here: https://youtu.be/hBBHuBILUj4

BKL1983asked

JIVE²

Hi, i have had the tandem jive for a while now. I mostly love it but for going on walks on hilly surfaces it is not so enjoyable. I previously had the front wheels replaced as the pram was favouring one side steering-wise. However i have found (and it seems to have gotten worse since the children have gotten bigger), that everytime i try to cross the road with the pram the front wheels get stuck when i go to roll back onto a footpath and it is difficult to get the pram to go up or down any slopes without the front wheels catching and halting the pram. So you have to try and tilt the whole pram upwards at the front to get back onto a footpath... Should i be using the front wheel locks? Will this fix the issue? These are ordinary sealed roads and footpaths with some hills.

Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi BKL1983,

Thank you for getting in touch and we are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your pram. We recommend that when you are moving from a flat surface to a different incline, to pop the front wheels up and roll over the gutter or ramp using the rear wheels.

We would like to ensure that your pram is working as it should. Please reach out to the team on 1300 344 964 or [email protected] so we can assist as soon as possible.

Which models of Redsbaby pram's can be used in tandem modes using a bassinet and seat together, and do these come sold together or do i have to purchased them separately?

2 answers
JessW098
JessW098

The Jive models can be used in tandem, and you can either buy the complete package to be able to use it tandem straight up or purchase the required "2nd seat" separately later. We purchased the complete package because it it slightly cheaper, and have stored the 2nd seat in its box until required.

Hi DeeDee,

Thank you for your query. The JIVE ² is our model which can start as a single pram and can grow with your family and convert to a tandem pram later on. I have added a link below for you :

Hi

Just got our Jive2 and are happy with it, just wondering if it's normal for the bassinet to wobble back and forward a little when being used, or if something is amiss.

Thank you

RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Lauren,

Thank you for getting in touch

We've got a great video from our Redsbaby You Tube channel that shows the normal movement that your seat and bassinet should have, here is the link for you: https://youtu.be/5oUY2vyK3bw

If you feel that your seat or bassinet moves more than this amount, please take a short video and send it to [email protected] so that our warranty team can investigate this for you.

When assessing the movement, it is important to remember that you're able to move these parts by hand more than they would move naturally when the pram is in motion. There has to be the ability for these parts to move as they absorb the impact of when the pram is in motion.

JIVE

Hi,
I just want to know if anyone finds that their jive platinum. Is quiet squeaky (in the handle) and the over all Frame is rather wobbly and not sturdy?
Mine is that bad that I thought I could of possibly put the wheels on wrong.

1 answer
Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Britt,

Thank you for your question. As a pram is a working machine, there can be noises from time to time when the parts move against each other for example. We advise using a silicone spray roughly every 8 weeks and spraying all of the moving parts including the wheels and brake parts. This ensures that any dirt or sand trapped in the mechanisms will work their way out and continue to allow the pram to run smoothly. You can read more about this here:https://redsbabyhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000182256-Is-there-any-regular-maintenance-that-I-need-to-undertake-for-my-pram-stroller-

Please reach out to the customer care team on 1300 344 964 should you have any questions or concerns about your pram.

The JIVE ² was released in November 2017 and the deisgn is based on customer feedback from our previous models.

The main differences are:

*newly designed bassinet with deeper sides and airflow panels for greater airflow through the canopy.
*new 12kg shopping basket
*ergonomic 5 -point harness
*Extension canopy with mesh panels.
*puncture-proof rear wheels

We also have a great range of accessories to fit the new 2018 range.

Hi there, we just put our Jive 2 pram together and it doesn’t want to turn left and right. The wheels only go straight. Is that normal? I assumed all prams would turn. Thank you. Mia

Char J.

There are 2 buttons on top of the front wheels. Push them down into the up position and it should unlock the wheels

Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Mia,

As Char pointed out, the front wheels are swivel but you can lock them in to use the pram on rough or uneven terrain. When locked, the pram is hard to steer. To unlock, you just need to press the circle buttons above the wheels on the main frame and this will unlock the wheels and allow them to swivel. Please reach out to customer care if you have any questions at all. RB Team xx

Yes, my pram tipped last week on a small lip of a driveway, it was disastrous. Thankfully my baby is okay, I stopped it from flipping completely but it meant falling to the side and catching the baby at the side of the bassinet. I have a lot of skin off from falling on the road. I think the front wheels are too small. They got stuck and turned. I have liked the pram
Otherwise but I think this is a major issues as the lip was only maybe 3-4cm

I have a Jive (purchased 2017) and wondering if anyone else has had issues with the handle bar grips wearing down? We’ve had the pram for over a year now but the wearing down began almost immediately and has gotten worse over time. Rather frustrating as I love the pram and expected it to last a long time!

Hi Jess, thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear this and I would urge you to be in touch with the customer care team on 1300 344 964. The leatherette handlebar should hold up to day to day use and last the life of the pram. We would certainly like to assist in resolving this for you.

JIVE

I just put together my Jive and it seems the handlebars are uneven (right side is slightly higher than the left). Anyone experienced this? Being part of the main frame this wasn’t even a part that I assembled so thinking it’s a manufacturing fault

RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Josh,

The handlebars are designed to be telescopic and lock into four different heights. The handlebar may have moved in transit and may just need to be re-adjusted. Please refer to the video below on how to adjust the handlebars.
