Operating Instructions

Adjusting the Toddler Seat

The toddler seat offers four ways to stroll. To reverse the seat from forward-facing to parent-facing, locate the release buttons on either side of the seat, press them, lift the seat, and re-attach it in the desired orientation until it clicks securely.

Folding the Stroller

General Cleaning

For the stroller frame and non-removable fabric parts, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Hand wash with mild soap as per general care instructions.

Wheel Maintenance

Regularly check the wheels for debris and ensure they spin freely. Lubricate moving parts as needed with a silicone-based lubricant. The tough, no-flat tires require minimal maintenance.

If you encounter any issues with your Britax Brook+ Modular Baby Stroller, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Stroller not folding/unfolding smoothly: Ensure all locks and latches are disengaged. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.

  • Seat not attaching securely: Verify that the seat is correctly aligned with the frame's attachment points and push down firmly until a click is heard.
