Maintenance and Care

- Cleaning Frame and Wheels: Wipe the chassis and wheels with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Periodically clean dirt and debris from the wheels and axles to ensure smooth operation.
- Lubrication: Occasionally apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts like wheel axles and folding mechanisms to maintain smooth functionality.
- Storage: Store the stroller in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Stroller does not fold/unfold smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Ensure all levers are properly disengaged/engaged. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.
- Wheels squeak or do not turn freely: Clean any dirt or debris from the wheel axles. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the axles.
- Harness is difficult to adjust: Ensure the straps are not twisted. Refer to the harness adjustment instructions for proper threading.
