Operating Instructions
Folding and Unfolding
The Bugaboo Fox 5 features a convenient one-hand fold mechanism. To fold, ensure the seat is in the correct position (refer to product specific instructions for exact steps), then activate the one-hand fold lever. The stroller will fold compactly and can stand independently due to its improved front bridge design.
