- Never leave your child unattended in the stroller.
- Ensure the stroller is fully open and locked before placing a child in it.
- Engage the brake when the stroller is stationary.
- Do not overload the underseat basket or attach heavy items to the handlebar, as this may cause instability.

Setup and Assembly
The Bugaboo Dragonfly is designed for minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your stroller for use:
- Unfolding the Stroller:
Hold the handlebar and release the folding latch. Lift the handlebar upwards until the frame clicks into place, indicating it is fully open. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged.

- Harness Adjustment:

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning Fabric Parts: The fabric components (canopy, seat material) are made from polyester and nylon. Hand wash only. Refer to the care labels for specific instructions.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the alloy steel frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.
- Wheel Maintenance: The hard-wearing plastic tires require minimal maintenance. Regularly check wheels for debris and ensure they rotate freely.
- Storage: Store the stroller in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Stroller not unfolding/folding smoothly: Ensure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting to fold/unfold. Check for any obstructions in the folding joints.
- Wheels not turning freely: Inspect wheels for trapped debris (e.g., hair, dirt). Clean as necessary.
- Brake not engaging/disengaging: Check for obstructions around the brake pedal. Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of dirt.
- Harness difficult to buckle: Ensure straps are not twisted. Clean the buckle if dirt or debris is present.
