Troubleshooting
- Stroller not folding smoothly: Ensure the quick-fold mechanism is fully engaged and there are no obstructions in the folding path. Check for debris in the joints.
- Car seat not clicking into base/stroller: Verify that the car seat is correctly aligned with the base or adapters. Apply firm, even pressure until a click is heard. Check for any obstructions.
- Harness difficult to adjust: Ensure the harness straps are not twisted. Refer to the harness adjustment instructions to ensure proper use of the quick-adjust mechanism.
