Setup and Unfolding

To set up your Cosco Umbrella Stroller, follow these steps:

2. Unfold the Frame: Hold the handles and gently pull them upwards and outwards until the stroller frame fully extends and locks into place. You should hear an audible click, indicating that the frame is securely locked.

Operating Instructions

Securing Your Child

• Harness System: The stroller is equipped with a 3-point harness. Place your child in the seat and bring the waist straps around their hips. Connect the buckle securely. Adjust the straps to ensure a snug, safe fit without being too tight.

Braking System

• Engaging Brakes: To engage the brakes, press down firmly on the brake levers located on the rear wheels. Ensure both brakes are fully engaged before releasing the stroller.
• Releasing Brakes: To release the brakes, lift the brake levers upwards until the wheels are free to move.

Folding the Stroller

The Cosco Umbrella Stroller features an easy, compact umbrella fold:

1. Empty the Stroller: Ensure the stroller is empty of children and any belongings.
2. Engage Brakes: Apply the rear wheel brakes to prevent the stroller from moving during folding.
3. Initiate Fold: Locate the folding mechanism, typically a lever or button near the handles or on the frame. Follow the specific instructions on the stroller for your model to release the frame locks.
4. Collapse the Frame: Push the handles downwards and inwards, allowing the stroller to collapse into its compact umbrella fold. Secure the folding latch to keep it closed.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Fabric: The seat fabric can be spot cleaned with a mild soap and cold water. Do not use bleach. Allow to air dry completely before folding or storing.
• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Maintenance: Periodically check the wheels for debris and clear any obstructions. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
• Storage: Store the stroller in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Utilize its compact fold for efficient storage.

Troubleshooting

• Stroller will not unfold/fold: Ensure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting to unfold. For folding, ensure the child is removed and any storage items are cleared. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.
• Wheels are stiff or squeaky: Clean the wheels and axles to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the wheels.
• Harness not securing: Check that the buckle is fully engaged and that the straps are adjusted correctly for your child's size. Ensure no fabric is obstructing the buckle mechanism.
