To unfold, unlock the release lever by pulling it out. Pull upward on the stroller handle until the frame locks into place.
2. Installing Front and Rear Wheels
The front and rear wheels must be installed prior to use.
Front Wheels: Lean the stroller backward and push each front wheel post into the wheel housing. Press firmly to lock each wheel into position.
Rear Wheels: Lean the stroller forward to rest on the front wheels. Press the rear wheel posts into the rear frame hub until they click into place.

3. Securing the Storage Basket
To secure the basket straps with D-Rings: Place straps around the rear wheel axle. Thread each strap completely through the D-ring opening to create a loop. Ensure straps are secure to the rear wheel axle before using the stroller.
4. Securing the Seat Fabric
Always ensure the strap under the seat is secured. Open the flip-up leg rest. Ensure the strap is through the buckle and pulled tightly, secured with the hook and loop fastener.
Locate the straps with D-rings underneath the stroller seat. Thread the longer strap through the corresponding slot. Thread each strap completely through the D-ring opening to create a loop. Repeat to secure the other strap. Ensure straps are secured correctly for folding.
Secure the shorter straps with D-Rings around the bar underneath the seat. Thread each strap completely through the D-ring opening to create a loop. Ensure straps are secure to the bar before using the stroller.
5. Adjusting Seat Back Position
The seat has multiple position recline controlled by a cord and spring-loaded adjuster. To recline, press the side tabs on the adjuster and pull downward. To move to a more upright position, grab the adjuster with one hand and pull the cord to the desired position with the other hand; the cord will lock automatically.
6. Opening and Closing the Canopy
To Open: Attach hook and loop fasteners on the underside of the canopy to the seat frame. Push forward on the front edge of the canopy while holding the rear in place. The visor on the front edge can be folded in or out for additional shade.
To Close: Pull backward on the front edge of the canopy.
7. Accessing the Storage Basket
Reach under the leg rest to unsnap the strap and lift it up to conveniently access the storage basket. Use the edge of the leg rest to open it. Always use the snap closure to close the basket and secure the leg rest.
8. Attaching the Parent Tray and Mobile Phone Holder
To install the parent tray, you may need to push the canopy rod forward. Locate the tray housing on the stroller frame. Align and set the parent tray tab holes into the inner housing where the small tab locks are located. Press firmly until it clicks into position.
Mobile Phone Holder: Align the mobile phone with the clip and insert it through the grips. Push the phone all the way down into the positioner. Note: The positioner may not accommodate all mobile phones or devices.
Removal: Locate the parent tray tabs under the stroller frame, press them inward, and lift the tray from the housing.
9. Attaching the Child Tray
Push the child tray downward onto each side of the front armrests until both sides snap into place. Check that the tray is securely latched.
To Access Child Seat: Pull one side of the release lever located on the underside of the child tray and lift upward. Either side of the child tray will lift and rotate out of the way to allow access to the front seat.
10. Engaging Rear Brakes
To engage rear brakes, apply downward pressure to the brake levers on the rear axle. The stroller may require forward or rearward movement to engage the brake. Check that the stroller will not move once brakes are properly applied. To release, gently lift up on the brake levers.
11. Front Wheel Release
If replacing the front wheel, push the release button on the side of the wheel hub and pull the wheel assembly from the hub.
12. Securing the Child
The 5-point harness shoulder straps have multiple positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder.
Adjust the harness from the rear of the seat. Use the hook and loop underneath the fabric to access buckles and slots. Grip anchored buckles, pass them through slots, and ensure they anchor to the seat back. Reattach hook and loop.
To secure the child, place the safety harness around the child's waist and over the 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 all buckles to the proper fit for the child.
13. Releasing the Harness
Push the button on the center clasp to release the two harness buckles.
14. Attaching the Infant Car Seat
To Attach to Child Tray: From the rear side of the stroller, engage both car seat support tabs on the tray. Rotate the child tray to the vertical position. Press buttons on both sides of the child tray to rotate down 90 degrees.
Position the infant car seat facing toward the rear of the stroller so the seat shell fits into the child tray and latches into place. It is important that the short clip is always tightly fastened around the infant car seat. Strap the short clip over the infant car seat through the seat belt slots and pull the strap adjuster tight.
To Remove from Child Tray: Use the carry handle buttons to rotate it to the carry position. Remove the short clip. Squeeze the release handle at the top-rear of the seat and carefully lift upward. Disengage both car seat support tabs from the rear.
15. Folding the Stroller
Close the canopy. Pull the stroller backward several inches to rotate the front wheels forward. Pull up on the strap located underneath the seat fabric to fold the stroller. Compress the stroller frame to fully close. Tuck the pull strap back into the seat fabric. The tray can be folded for a compact fold.
Ensure the front wheels are neatly tucked, then secure the stroller in the folded position by locking the fold latch over the rivet.
16. Unfolding the Stroller
Unlock the release lever. Unfold the stroller frame by pulling upward on the stroller handle until the frame locks. Refer to child tray instructions if needed for removing or adjusting the tray.
