- Wheels:
- Inspect wheels regularly for wear and tear.
- Keep tires properly inflated (refer to tire sidewall for recommended pressure).
- Clean any dirt or debris from the wheel axles and swivel mechanism. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
- Storage: Store the stroller in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your stroller, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stroller does not unfold or fold easily. | Folding mechanism is jammed or not fully released/engaged. | Ensure the folding latch is fully released. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Apply a silicone lubricant to moving parts if stiff. |
| Wheels squeak or are difficult to turn. | Dirt/debris in axles, low tire pressure, or lack of lubrication. | Clean wheels and axles. Inflate tires to recommended pressure. Apply silicone lubricant to wheel bearings and swivel mechanisms. |
| Brake is not engaging properly. | Brake cable tension is loose or mechanism is obstructed. | Check for obstructions around the brake mechanism. If the hand brake is loose, it may require adjustment of the cable tension (consult a service center if unsure). Ensure the foot brake pedal is fully depressed. |
| Stroller pulls to one side. | Uneven tire pressure or front wheel alignment issue. | Check and adjust tire pressure on all wheels. Ensure the front wheel is locked straight if not in swivel mode. |
