3. Setup and Installation
This section details the steps for attaching the Thule Bassinet to your compatible Thule stroller.
3.1 Unpacking the Bassinet
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present: bassinet unit, mattress, and any specific adapters if not pre-attached.
3.2 Attaching to the Stroller Frame
- Ensure your Thule stroller frame is fully unfolded and locked in the open position. Refer to your stroller's instruction manual for specific unfolding procedures.

- Visually inspect and gently pull upwards on the bassinet to confirm it is securely locked into place and cannot be easily dislodged.
