Safety Features

Rear 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.

Securing the Child

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

STRANGULATION HAZARD: A child can strangle in a loose safety harness. Never leave a child in the seat if the harness is loose or undone.

1. 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 (as shown in Figure 7a).

2. To secure the child, place the safety harness around the child's waist and over their 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 for a proper fit (as shown in Figure 7b).

Figure 7a: Illustration showing how to adjust the shoulder strap level with or below the child's shoulder.

3. To adjust the harness to the next height level, unhook the strap and pull it through the loop according to the child's sitting height (as shown in Figure 7c).

4. To adjust the harness to a lower height level, thread the clip back into the slot and pull it out through the desired lower level (as shown in Figure 7d).

5. RELEASE! Push the button on the center clasp to release the harness buckles (as shown in Figure 7e).

Jogging With Your Stroller

WARNING: Never jog or run with your newborn in the car seat position. Use for strolling only.

STRANGULATION HAZARD! Children have strangled when straps have wrapped around their neck. When not in use, hook the tether strap onto the stroller handle. Keep this stroller tether strap out of the reach of children.

Folding and Unfolding

Folding the Stroller

1. When jogging with your child, use the following safety features:

• LOCK THE FRONT SWIVEL WHEEL IN STRAIGHT POSITION: Slide the slider down to the lock position. Slide back to unlock.
• SAFETY TETHER STRAP: Always connect the Tether Strap to either wrist when jogging. This strap will help prevent the stroller from rolling away if you trip while running (as shown in Figure 9a). The Tether Strap must always remain connected to the rear lower frame cross member to prevent the stroller from tipping backward if you fall. The Tether Strap includes a hook and loop attachment for storage on the left side of the stroller when not in use (as shown in Figure 9b).

Figure 9a: Illustration showing how to lock the front swivel wheel and the tether strap connected to the wrist and stroller frame.

Figure 9b: Illustration depicting the tether strap's storage location on the stroller's left side using a hook and loop attachment.

WARNING: Be careful when folding and unfolding the stroller to prevent finger entrapment.

WARNING: Be careful when folding the stroller to prevent damage. Ensure all accessories, mobile phones, diaper bags, or purses are removed before folding. Failure to remove items may result in damage to the stroller or items, for which Baby Trend® will not be liable or provide warranty.

CAUTION: Do not allow children near the stroller while folding.

2. Push both fold buttons located on each shoulder of the stroller (as shown in Figure 10a) while folding the stroller frame until it fully closes (as shown in Figure 10b). Fold the stroller to its collapsed position (this may require additional hand assistance) before securing it with the fold latch.

Note: Move the front wheel sideways to engage the fold latch.

3. Lock the stroller by pulling the locking latch over (as shown in Figure 10c). Note: You may remove the tray for a more compact fold. Refer to Step 4 (as shown in Figure 10d).
