4.1 Securing Your Child

To ensure your child's safety, always use the 5-point harness system:

  1. Place your child in the seat.
  2. Bring the shoulder straps over your child's shoulders and the waist straps around their waist.
  3. Connect the magnetic buckles until they click securely.
  4. Adjust the straps for a snug fit, ensuring your child cannot slip out.

4.2 Adjusting Seat Recline and Footrest

Each seat can be independently reclined and its footrest adjusted:

  • Seat Recline: Locate the recline mechanism behind each seat. Squeeze the lever and adjust the seat to the desired position.
  • Footrest Adjustment: Press the buttons on either side of the footrest and move it up or down to the desired height.

4.3 Engaging the Brake

The stroller features a one-step linked brake system:

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

  • Zippered Pockets: Two zippered pockets are located on the back of the canopies for smaller items like phones, keys, or pacifiers.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your stroller:

  • Cleaning Fabric: The seat material is made from recycled fabric. Spot clean with mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Cleaning Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Wheel Maintenance: Regularly check wheels for debris and clean as needed. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
  • Storage: Store the stroller in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Joovy Kooper RS2, refer to the following common solutions:

  • Stroller not unfolding/folding smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Ensure all fabric is clear of moving parts. Apply a silicone lubricant to hinges if necessary.
  • Wheels not turning freely: Inspect wheels for trapped debris (e.g., hair, dirt). Clean thoroughly. Ensure the brake is not partially engaged.
  • Brake not engaging/disengaging: Check the brake mechanism for obstructions. Ensure the pedal is fully pressed or lifted. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
  • Harness difficult to buckle/unbuckle: Ensure no fabric is caught in the magnetic buckles. Clean buckles if sticky.
