My Amigo seat seems to be loose. What should I do?

Check your upper seat post by removing the seat and turning it upside down. Inspect the seat post for cracks or other signs of wear and tear at the spot it is welded to the plate under the seat. If a crack is found, you will need to have the upper seat post replaced.
Make sure the bolts attaching the upper seat post to the seat are tightened.
Lastly, if the seat post looks good, put the seat back on the seat post and check the seat lock adjustment. Loosen nut on the tension adjusting screw by turning the screw in quarter turns for more tension. Lock your seat, checking the tension. When it locks and holds the way you prefer, retighten the nut. Caution: Be careful not to move the screw.
