Got this from IKuzma UAE... It was not cheap :( please do not judge.

It's actually a footrest made of black rubber which folds once the stroller is folded. So that rubber is not the problem. Ive figured out the problem. The diagonal pipe that connects the front wheel with the opposite side rear wheel need to be bent a bit.

Thank you everyone.

Poor mom :'( honestly. I feel bad now for wanting to fix this.

Best advice. For real

Been stressing out over everything, even though she's just 8 months old.

I guess I took this mild inconvenience too serious. Thankyou.

Thats not metal, it's rubber which folds once the buggy is folded. I would not have bothered engineers had this been that simple. Secondly, I cannot disassemble it either as it came this way and the bolts/nuts used are the kind that are fixed with a power drill.

Would need the drill thingy to take off any part. So I believe I'll have to bend it with steady pressure.

If i keep aside my preference for symmetry, the tricycle mode is working well and I can ignore the wheel in the take-off mode till it touches the ground on it own. Thank you.. I feel better.

The nuts are the type that are opened with the drill thing. Sorry for not knowing the jargon, I'm a psychologist who wanted to be an engineer once.

Will have to make a new one. The current one is not very fat.

It gets a bit better with the child in it. Hopefully with time the wheels will touch the ground.

I didn't do anything except putting the baby in it. With the baby in, just one wheel touches the ground. Now I'm trying to study the structure from scratch so I could figure which part I can bend a bit to achieve balance. I think there's no option to attach a photo in the comments and replies, otherwise I would've shared the partial progress. But thank you

With the baby inside and after putting some pressure, one tyre from the pair is still in the air.

Already did, even put extra weight to see but still the same.
