Setup

Before first use, ensure all components are present and undamaged. The stroller comes partially assembled and requires minimal setup.

1. Unfolding the Stroller: Place the folded stroller on a flat surface. Release any locking mechanisms. Lift the handle upwards firmly until the frame clicks into place, indicating it is fully open. Ensure all parts are securely locked before placing a child in the stroller.
2. Wheel Attachment: If wheels are not pre-attached, insert them into their respective slots until they click securely. Test by gently pulling on the wheels to ensure they are firmly in place.
3. Canopy Installation: Attach the canopy to the designated points on the stroller frame. Ensure it is securely fastened and can be adjusted smoothly.

Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the stroller's features for optimal use.

1. Folding the Stroller: Locate the folding mechanisms, usually near the handle or on the frame. Engage the release levers or buttons, then push the handle downwards while guiding the frame to fold compactly. Ensure it locks into its folded position for transport or storage.
2. Harness System: The stroller features a 5-point harness system with adjustable straps. To secure your child, place them in the seat, bring the shoulder and waist straps together, and insert the buckles into the central buckle until they click. Adjust the straps to ensure a snug, secure fit without being too tight. To release, press the button on the central buckle.
3. Brake System: The stroller is equipped with a foot-operated brake. To engage the brake, press down on the brake lever, typically located near the rear wheels, until it locks the wheels. To release, lift the lever upwards. Always engage the brake when the stroller is stationary.
4. Canopy Adjustment: The canopy can be extended or retracted to provide shade and protection from the elements. Simply push or pull the canopy forward or backward to the desired position.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the safety of your stroller.

• Cleaning: The fabric components are made of synthetic material. For general cleaning, wipe down the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before folding or storing.
• Frame Care: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Wheel Maintenance: Periodically check the wheels for debris and remove any dirt or hair that may impede their movement. Lubricate moving parts, such as axles, with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
• Storage: Store the stroller in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Stroller does not fold/unfold smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Ensure all locking levers are fully disengaged before attempting to fold, or fully engaged when unfolding. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.
• Wheels are stiff or squeaky: Clean any debris from the wheel axles. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the wheels.
• Brake not engaging/disengaging: Check for any obstructions around the brake mechanism. Ensure the brake lever is fully depressed or lifted. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Harness difficult to buckle/unbuckle: Ensure the buckles are aligned correctly. Clean any dirt or debris from inside the buckle mechanism.
