4. Engaging the Brake System
To engage the brake, press down firmly on the brake pedal located near the rear wheels. To release, lift the pedal. Always ensure the brake is fully engaged when the stroller is stationary.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Fabric Parts: The fabric parts (Polyester, Polyester and cotton) can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and cold water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry unless specified on the care label. Allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning Frame and Plastic Parts: Wipe the frame and plastic components with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.
- Wheel Maintenance: Regularly check the wheels for debris and remove any obstructions. The puncture-proof wheels require minimal maintenance but ensure they rotate freely.
- Storage: Store the stroller in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all rivets, screws, and locking mechanisms to ensure they are secure and in good working order. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stroller does not fold or unfold smoothly. | Locking mechanism engaged; debris in hinges; seat not in correct position. | Ensure all locks are disengaged. Clear any obstructions from hinges. Verify seat is upright before folding. Refer to "Folding the Stroller" section. |
| Wheels squeak or do not turn freely. | Debris in wheel axles; lack of lubrication. | Remove any hair or dirt from the wheel axles. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the wheels. |
| Harness is difficult to adjust. | Straps twisted or caught; buckle mechanism obstructed. | Untwist straps and ensure they are flat. Check the buckle for any obstructions. The one-pull harness should adjust smoothly. |
| Brake is not engaging or releasing properly. | Debris in brake mechanism; cable adjustment needed. | Clear any debris from the brake pedal and mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
