3. Setup and Assembly
Before first use, ensure all components are present and undamaged. Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the packaging for specific assembly steps. General assembly involves attaching wheels, securing the seat/bassinet frame, and installing the canopy.
3.1 Stroller Frame Assembly
Unfold the stroller frame according to the instructions. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged before proceeding.
3.2 Seat/Bassinet Attachment
The modular seat can convert into a bassinet. Attach the seat/bassinet unit to the stroller frame by aligning the connectors and pressing down until you hear a click, indicating it is securely locked. Ensure the unit is firmly attached by pulling upwards.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Switching Modes
The Passport Switch system allows for easy conversion between its six modes. To change the orientation or type of seat (bassinet, toddler seat, or infant car seat), locate the release buttons or levers on the sides of the seat unit or car seat adapters. Press these buttons and lift the unit off the frame. Reattach in the desired configuration, ensuring a secure click.
4.2 Harness System
Always secure your child using the 5-point harness system. Adjust the shoulder straps to the appropriate height and ensure the harness is snug against your child's body without being too tight.
4.3 Canopy Adjustment
The canopy can be adjusted to provide optimal shade. Extend or retract the canopy as needed. Some models feature a peek-a-boo window for ventilation and easy viewing of your child.

4.4 Stroller Brakes
To engage the brakes, press down on the brake pedal located near the rear wheels. Ensure both wheels are locked before releasing the handlebar. To release, lift the brake pedal. Always engage the brakes when the stroller is stationary.
4.5 Folding the Stroller
To fold the stroller for storage or transport, ensure the seat is in the forward-facing position and fully upright. Locate the folding mechanisms (usually levers or buttons on the handlebar or sides of the frame) and activate them according to the specific model's instructions. The stroller is designed to fold compactly.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
The fabric components of the stroller and car seat are 100% Polyester. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach. Allow to air dry completely before reassembly or use.
5.2 Frame and Wheels
Wipe the metal and plastic frame parts with a soft, damp cloth. Periodically check the wheels for debris and ensure they rotate freely. Lubricate moving parts if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant.
5.3 Storage
Store the travel system in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
6. Troubleshooting
- Stroller not folding/unfolding smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Ensure all locking levers are disengaged before attempting to fold.
- Car seat not attaching securely: Verify that the car seat is correctly aligned with the adapters on the stroller frame or base. Ensure you hear a distinct 'click' and test the attachment by pulling upwards.
- Wheels squeaking or sticking: Clean any dirt or debris from the wheel axles. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the wheels.
- Harness difficult to adjust: Ensure the harness straps are not twisted. Refer to the car seat manual for detailed instructions on harness adjustment.
