3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Quick Switch Steering (Walk Mode / Jog Mode)
The Quick Switch Steering feature allows you to easily transition between walking and jogging modes by locking or unlocking the front swivel wheel directly from the handlebar.
- Walk Mode (Unlocked Front Wheel): For daily errands and maneuvering in tight spaces, twist the dial on the handlebar to unlock the 12-inch front swivel wheel. This allows for 360-degree rotation and easy steering.
- Jog Mode (Locked Front Wheel): For smooth jogging or navigating uneven terrain, twist the dial on the handlebar to lock the front wheel in a forward-facing position. This provides stability and prevents the wheel from swiveling unexpectedly.

3.2 Handlebar Adjustment
The handlebar is height-adjustable to accommodate users of different heights, ensuring comfortable pushing and control. To adjust, locate the adjustment points on the handlebar and follow the instructions provided in the full assembly guide.
3.3 Folding and Unfolding the Stroller
The Momentum Jogging Stroller features a one-hand fold mechanism and stands upright when folded for compact storage and easy transport.
- Folding: Ensure the child is removed from the stroller. Locate the one-hand fold release mechanism (typically a strap or handle within the seat area). Pull or lift this mechanism while simultaneously pushing the handlebar down. The stroller will collapse and lock into a self-standing position.
- Unfolding: Release the side lock. Lift the handlebar upwards until the stroller frame fully extends and locks into place. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged before use.

To release, lift the levers upwards.

- Connect the shoulder and waist strap buckles into the central buckle until they click.
- Adjust all straps to ensure a snug, secure fit without being too tight.
