Setup Instructions

Unpacking and Initial Assembly

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in the 'What's Included' section are present. Refer to the quick start guide for initial frame assembly.

Attaching the Infant Car Seat

The SnugRide 35 Lite Elite Infant Car Seat can be securely attached to the stroller frame. Locate the car seat adapters on the stroller frame. Align the car seat with the adapters and press down firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is securely latched. Ensure the car seat is rear-facing when attached to the stroller.

Attaching the Toddler Seat

The toddler seat can be attached to the stroller frame in either a forward-facing or parent-facing position. Align the seat with the attachment points on the frame and push until it clicks into place. To reverse the seat direction, detach it, flip it, and reattach.

Adjusting the Handlebar

The stroller features a height-adjustable leatherette handle. Locate the adjustment buttons on either side of the handle. Press these buttons and move the handle up or down to your desired height, then release the buttons to lock it in place.

Operating Instructions

Folding and Unfolding the Stroller

To fold the stroller, ensure any attached seats or car seats are removed. Engage the brake. Locate the one-step fold mechanism (usually a handle or button on the handlebar) and activate it while pushing the stroller forward. The stroller will fold compactly and stand on its own. To unfold, release the latch and pull the handlebar upwards until the frame locks into place.

Reclining the Seat

The toddler seat offers multiple recline positions for your child's comfort. Locate the recline lever or buttons on the back of the seat. Adjust the seat to the desired angle and ensure it locks securely.

Using the Slide2Me Seat Adjustment

The Slide2Me seat allows you to adjust the height of the toddler seat or infant car seat. Locate the adjustment mechanism on the side of the seat frame. Activate it to raise or lower the seat to one of the three available height positions, bringing your child closer or creating more space.

Using the Child's Tray and Parent Cup Holder

The removable child's tray with a cup holder provides a convenient surface for snacks and drinks. The removable parent cup holder attaches to the handlebar, keeping your beverage within reach.

Brake Operation

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

Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

For general cleaning, spot clean or wipe down the fabric and frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembly or storage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Storage

When not in use, store the stroller in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The one-step, self-standing fold allows for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

Stroller is difficult to maneuver

If the stroller feels heavy or difficult to steer, especially in double mode, ensure that weight is evenly distributed. Large toddlers in the front seat combined with a car seat on top can make the stroller front-heavy. Consider adjusting seating positions or removing unnecessary items from the storage basket.

Infant Car Seat Fit for Newborns

For very young or small newborns, additional padding or inserts (ensure they are Graco-approved and used according to instructions) may be necessary to ensure a snug and secure fit within the SnugRide 35 Lite Elite Infant Car Seat.
