Land Rover Quick Release Wheels
The quick release wheel system is unique to the Land Rover All Terrain Pushchairs (Manufactured by Pegasus Pushchairs Ltd under licence by Land Rover until September 2002, but no longer available and having no association with the current owner of the Land Rover Trademark) and gives two key benefits:
 Compact Storage
Unless your walks always start from your house you will be transporting the pushchair in a car. A Land Rover ATP (Manufactured by Pegasus Pushchairs Ltd under licence by Land Rover until September 2002, but no longer available and having no association with the current owner of the Land Rover Trademark) with the wheels removed takes up far less space and is an easier shape to store in the boot. (If you don't already have children you may not yet understand quite how much 'stuff' has to be packed into that boot, even for a short visit !)
Quarantine !
If the wheels are covered in mud (or some other unpleasant substance commonly found on countryside walks) then they can be removed and stored separately in a bag. Your car stays in better condition and when you get home you can just hose the wheels clean without splattering it over the rest of the pushchair.
The following pictures show the wheels on a single Land Rover ATP (Manufactured by Pegasus Pushchairs Ltd under licence by Land Rover until September 2002, but no longer available and having no association with the current owner of the Land Rover Trademark), the wheels on a double Land Rover (Manufactured by Pegasus Pushchairs Ltd under licence by Land Rover until September 2002, but no longer available and having no association with the current owner of the Land Rover Trademark) work in exactly the same way.
 
Lots of pushchairs have wheels which are removable but I have not come across anything as slick as the Land Rover (Manufactured by Pegasus Pushchairs Ltd under licence by Land Rover until September 2002, but no longer available and having no association with the current owner of the Land Rover Trademark) quick release wheels and which doesn't leave you with loose parts that can get lost !
Removing or refitting the wheels is simple and takes seconds
Much of the benefit or removing the wheels is achieved by removing just the rear wheels as this significantly reduces the size and shape. Many people remove only the rear wheels and invert the pushchair in their car boot with the dirty front wheel upwards.
At the rear on each end of the axle plate is a spring loaded toggle which locks the wheel securely on.
Rear Wheel
To remove the wheel lift the toggle and pull the wheel outwards. If the brake is engaged then disengage it because when the wheels are removed the brake rod is be exposed and may either cause damage or itself be damaged
Note that there is a left wheel and a right wheel, they are not interchangeable. The axles both have a flat upper surface and a half moon cut out which faces to the rear of the pushchair
To refit the wheel lift the toggle and insert the axle flat side up and half moon cut out to the rear. Once inserted release the toggle to lock securely in position
Front Wheel
The front wheel is located in two forks
To remove the wheel simply loosen the wing nut on each side and slide forward. If you loosen the wing nuts about 3mm more than necessary before sliding the wheel forward then this will make re-fitting it much easier
When fitting the wheel ensure that the axle is pushed firmly home into the forks on both sides while you tighten the wing nuts. If the front wheel is not properly aligned then the pushchair may veer
With the wheels removed and the pushchair folded flat your single Land Rover (Manufactured by Pegasus Pushchairs Ltd under licence by Land Rover until September 2002, but no longer available and having no association with the current owner of the Land Rover Trademark) will fit compactly into the Land Rover Carry Bag |
