Setup

The Thule Infant Car Seat Adapter is designed for straightforward installation. Before beginning, ensure your stroller is in a stable, upright position with the brakes engaged.

Attaching the Adapter to the Stroller

1. Locate the attachment points on both sides of your Thule Glide or Urban Glide stroller frame. These are typically small notches or slots designed to receive the adapter's arms.
2. Align the adapter's arms with these attachment points. The adapter is designed to fit snugly.
3. Push the adapter arms firmly into the attachment points until you hear a distinct "click" on both sides, indicating that the adapter is securely locked into place. Verify by gently pulling upwards on the adapter to ensure it is fixed.

Attaching the Infant Car Seat

1. With the adapter securely installed on the stroller, position your compatible infant car seat onto the adapter. Ensure the car seat's base aligns correctly with the adapter's support bars.
2. Press down firmly on the car seat until it clicks into place on the adapter.
3. Utilize the integrated safety straps on the adapter to further secure the car seat. Fasten the buckles and tighten the straps to ensure the car seat is firmly held against the adapter, minimizing any movement.

Operating

Once the infant car seat is securely attached to the adapter, you can use your Thule jogging stroller for strolling. This configuration allows your baby to face you, promoting interaction and easy monitoring. Remember, this setup is recommended for strolling only, not for jogging or running activities.

Detaching the Infant Car Seat

1. Unfasten the safety straps securing the car seat to the adapter.
2. Locate the release mechanism on your infant car seat (typically a handle or button). Activate the release mechanism while lifting the car seat upwards from the adapter.
3. Ensure the car seat is fully disengaged before lifting it clear of the stroller.

Removing the Adapter from the Stroller

To remove the adapter, locate the release levers or buttons on the adapter's arms where they connect to the stroller frame. Press these mechanisms and gently pull the adapter upwards and away from the stroller frame.
