Operating Instructions
Securing Your Child: One-Pull Harness
The unique one-pull harness system allows you to secure your child quickly and easily. Place your child in the seat, bring the shoulder straps over their shoulders, and connect the buckle. Pull the strap to tighten the harness until it is snug against your child's body, ensuring a secure fit without being too tight.

Adjusting Recline Positions and Leg Rest
The seat offers multiple recline positions for your child's comfort. Use the recline lever on the back of the seat to adjust the angle. The leg rest is also adjustable to support your child's legs as they grow.
Adjusting the Handlebar
The leatherette handlebar is adjustable to accommodate users of varying heights. Press the buttons on either side of the handlebar and extend or retract it to your desired position.
Extendable UPF 50+ Sun Canopy
The large sun canopy provides UPF 50+ protection. Extend the canopy to shield your child from the sun. It includes a mesh window for ventilation and observation.
Using the Storage Basket
The large storage basket located under the seat can hold up to 22 lbs. Use it for carrying essentials such as diaper bags, groceries, or toys.

Folding the Stroller
To fold the stroller, ensure the seat is in the forward-facing position and fully upright. Engage the one-hand fold mechanism (refer to the specific instructions on the stroller frame, often a button or lever near the handlebar). The stroller will fold into a compact, self-standing position for easy storage and transport.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and safety of your stroller.
- Fabric Care: Wash separately. Use gentle action wash with warm water. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the frame and plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.
- Wheel Maintenance: Regularly check wheels for debris and ensure they rotate freely. Clean axles as needed.
- Storage: Store the stroller in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
