Important Usage Guidelines:

ONLY approved Snap Tech™ products can be used on the frame.
CAUTION: This stroller is designed for one child only. Use with more than one child may cause an unbalanced condition, potentially injuring your child.

Assembly Instructions

IMPORTANT! To ensure safe operation, follow these instructions carefully. Inspect the product for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts, or sharp edges before assembly and each use. Adult assembly is required.

Remove the stroller from the box. The front and rear wheels MUST be installed prior to use.

Front Wheels

Unlock the release lever (as shown in Figure 1a) and unfold the stroller frame by pulling upward on the stroller handle until the frame locks (as shown in Figure 1b).
Lean the stroller backward and push each front wheel assembly into the front wheel housing until they lock into place (as shown in Figure 1c). NOTE: Pull on the wheel assembly to ensure it is securely attached.
Push the release button on the side of the wheel hub and pull the wheel assembly from the hub (as shown in Figure 1d).

Rear Wheels

Lean the stroller forward and press the rear wheel post into the rear frame hub until it clicks into place (as shown in Figure 2a). NOTE: Pull on the rear wheel to ensure it is securely attached.
To remove, push the tab inward and pull the wheel from the hub (as shown in Figure 2b).

Bumper Bar

WARNING: Do not use the bumper bar to carry the seat with a child inside. The bumper bar is not a carrying handle.

Attach the bumper bar by aligning its anchors with the slots on the seat. Push until it locks into place (as shown in Figure 3a). NOTE: The bumper bar must be securely attached before using this product.
To detach the bumper bar, press the release button on the bottom of the bar and pull the bar out of the anchor. Swing the bar upwards to access the seat (as shown in Figure 3b).

Attaching the Seat

Ensure the seat fabric is properly attached to the seat support bar. If the seat fabric is unzipped, wrap it around the seat support bar (as shown in Figure 4a) and zip it closed.
Attach the seat by aligning the seat anchors on the side of the seat with the anchors on the stroller frame and pushing them together until they click securely (as shown in Figure 4b). The seat can face either direction (frontward or backward). NOTE: To remove the seat, refer to step 16.

Adjusting the Seat

The seat can be adjusted into upright, reclined, and carriage positions. Pull the recline button on the rear of the seat and rotate the seat to the desired position (as shown in Figure 5a).
Upright and Reclined Position: There are two seat adjusters on the back of the stroller seat pad: an upper and a lower adjuster. Pull the upper adjuster firmly for an upright seating position. Loosen the adjuster for a desired recline position. Fasten the lower buckle for an upright position and pull the excess strap through the plastic ring, securing it with hook and loop (as shown in Figure 5b).
Carriage Position: Ensure the upper adjuster is fully loosened and the lower buckle is unbuckled to fully extend the seat surround (as shown in Figure 5b).

Removable Canopy

To attach the Removable Canopy: Snap the canopy clips onto the inside of the toddler seat tubes. Tighten the hook and loop strap around the canopy hinge (as shown in Figure 6a).
To open the canopy: Push forward on the front edge of the canopy while holding the rear of the canopy in place (as shown in Figure 6b).
To fold the canopy: Pull backward on the front edge (as shown in Figure 6b).
To use the extended canopy: Unzip the middle of the canopy and pull the canopy forward (as shown in Figure 6c).

Cup Holder

WARNING: To avoid burns, never put hot liquids in the cup holder. To avoid tipping, do not place more than 1 lb. (0.45kg) in the cup holder.

To attach the cup holder: Slide the clip on the cupholder over the cup holder tabs on the handle bar. Push until it is firmly in place (as shown in Figure 7).

Safety Instructions

Brakes

WARNING: Always set brakes when the stroller is not being pushed to prevent it from rolling away. NEVER leave the stroller unattended on a hill or incline, as it may slide down.

To engage brakes: Apply downward pressure to the brake lever located on the rear. You may need to roll the stroller back and forth to fully engage the brake (as shown in Figure 8). NOTE: Check that the stroller does not move once the brakes are properly applied.
To release: Gently lift up on the brake lever.

Front Wheel Lock

The front wheels are equipped with a swivel locking device. Push the button on each wheel up to engage the locks and push downward to disengage the locks (as shown in Figure 9).

Securing the Child

WARNING: Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always use the safety harness.

DANGER OF STRANGULATION: A child can strangle in loose straps. Never leave a child in the seat when straps are loose or undone.

Type 1 and 2 Harness:

The 5-point safety harness shoulder straps have 3 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder (as shown in Figure 10a). To adjust harness height, unhook the shoulder strap from the crotch buckle. Feed the shoulder strap through the harness spread slots (accessible from the rear of the seat under the fabric). Feed the shoulder strap through the appropriate slot and reattach it to the crotch buckle.

Carefully place the child in the stroller seat. Bring the safety harness around the child's waist and over the child's shoulders. Place the crotch strap between the child's legs. Insert the male end of each shoulder/waist belt into the buckle on the crotch strap. Tighten the harness so it is snug around the child's waist and over the child's shoulders (as shown in Figure 10b).

Releasing the Child

Type 1 Buckle:

To release, push the button on the center clasp, and the two harness buckles will pop free (as shown in Figure 11).

Type 2 Buckle:

To release, apply pressure to both sides of each male clip until the clip is released (as shown in Figure 12).
