Maintenance

Clean the fabric parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach. Allow to air dry completely. The frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Wheel Maintenance:
Regularly check wheels for debris and clear any obstructions. Lubricate moving parts, such as axles and swivel mechanisms, with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
- Storage:
Store the travel system in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
- Inspections:
Periodically inspect all parts for wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Discontinue use if any part is damaged or missing and contact customer support for replacement parts.
Troubleshooting
- Stroller not unfolding/folding smoothly:
Ensure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before unfolding. For folding, ensure the seat is upright and the strap is pulled firmly. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.
- Wheels squeaking:
Clean the wheel axles and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts.
- Harness difficult to adjust:
Ensure the harness straps are not twisted. Refer to the operating instructions for correct adjustment procedures.
