ASSEMBLING
TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR STROLLER, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
ASSEMBLY
- Remove stroller from box. The front wheels, rear wheels, child tray, and canopy need to be installed prior to use.
- To attach the front wheels: Unfold stroller. Lean the stroller backwards so that it rests on the handle and rear frame tubes, with the front wheel tubes pointing upward. Position the front wheel assembly at the front tube, aligning the large hole in the swivel assembly onto the front tube. Push each front wheel assembly onto the front tube, ensuring the wheel assembly locks onto the front leg. Pull on the wheel assembly to ensure that it is securely attached to the stroller.Figure 1 shows the stroller leaning back with front wheel tubes up. Figure 2 shows the front wheel assembly attaching to the stroller leg.
- To attach the rear wheels: Lean the stroller forward to rest on the front wheels. Position the rear axle and wheel assembly so the brake levers face the rear of the stroller. Press the rear wheel assembly onto the rear frame tubes, ensuring the push buttons on the forward side of each rear tube engage the hole on the forward side of each rear wheel housing. Pull on the rear wheel assembly to ensure that it is securely attached to the stroller.Figure 3 shows the rear wheel assembly attaching to the stroller frame.
- Ensure that the wheels are firmly locked into place. Do not use the stroller if the wheels are not locked. Contact customer service at (800) 328-7363 for assistance.
- Attach footrest: Snap the footrest onto the front legs of the stroller just below the seat. Push downward on the footrest until it locks onto the rivets protruding from both sides of each leg and snaps onto the U-shaped frame cross member.Figure 4 shows the footrest snapping onto the front legs.
- Attach front child tray: Push the tray onto the front frame tube, aligning it between the protruding rivet and the seat. Push backward on the latch until it snaps into place. The protruding rivet on the outside of the frame tube should be above the tray latch. Check that the tray is securely latched.Figures 5 and 6 show the front child tray attaching to the frame, highlighting the rivet and latch mechanism.
- To remove front child tray: Pull outward on the latches and pull outward on the tray. You may attach or remove one end at a time.Figure 7 illustrates pulling the tray latches to remove it.
WARNING: The child's tray is not a restraint device. Always secure your child with the seat belt. DO NOT lift the stroller by the child's tray. Use care when attaching the child's tray on the stroller with a child in the stroller.
- To attach the front canopy: Line up the male fittings on the canopy with the female fittings on the armrest and push both fittings downward until snapped into place. Push forward on the front edge of the canopy to open.Figure 8 shows the canopy fittings connecting to the stroller armrest.
Your stroller is now ready to use.
WARNING: Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always use the seat belt.
TO SECURE CHILD
- The 5-point harness has 2 attachment positions. Select the loop position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder and feed the shoulder harness under the correct loop.Figure 8a shows the 5-point harness shoulder strap attachment points.
- Carefully place the child in the stroller seat and bring 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 the harness to be snug around the child's waist and over the child's shoulders.Figure 9 illustrates securing the child with the 5-point harness, showing the waist strap, crotch strap, and buckle.
- To release: Apply pressure to both sides of each male clip until the clip is released. This process requires a moderate amount of effort to prevent accidental release by your child. Note: Buckles may be hard to release when first used.
TO SECURE REAR STANDING CHILD
- The rear platform and jump seat are designed for a child who is at least 2 1/2 years old, has good balance and coordination, and is not over 40 inches tall. Push the jump seat bench to its most forward position. Position the child on the platform on the back of the stroller. Be sure the child is facing forward and hands are holding the frame. Secure the safety belt behind the child and engage the buckle.Figure 10 shows a child on the rear platform with the safety belt.
- Be sure that the child's feet are fully on the platform at all times.
TO USE JUMP SEAT
- Have the child sit on the jump seat facing backwards. Secure the seat belt, which is attached to the back of the seat, around the child's waist, and buckle to the crotch strap.Figure 11 shows a child in the jump seat with the seat belt secured.
- Adjust the seat belt to be snug around the child's waist.
- To release: Apply pressure to both sides of the male clip until the clip is released. This process requires a moderate amount of effort to prevent accidental release by your child.
- Be sure that the child's feet are fully on the platform at all times.
SEATBACK POSITIONING
- The front seat has a two-position recline. To recline the seat, rotate the recline bar and press backward on the seat back. To place the seat in the upright position, press upward on the seat back while rotating the recline bar.Figure 12 illustrates the seatback recline mechanism.
- The upright position should be used only for a child that is at least 6 months old. Note: The seat does not fully recline.
BRAKES
WARNING: Always set brakes when the stroller is not being pushed so that the stroller will not roll away. Never leave stroller unattended on a hill or incline, as the stroller may slide down the hill.
- To engage brakes: Apply light downward pressure to the brake lever located on each rear wheel. The stroller may require slight forward or rearward movement to line up the teeth on the brake with each wheel brake cluster. Check that the stroller will not move and that the brakes are properly applied. To release, gently lift up on the brake lever.Figures 13 and 14 show the brake lever engaging and releasing on the rear wheel.
CANOPY
- To open the canopy: Push forward on the front frame of the canopies. To close canopy: Pull the front edge toward the rear of the stroller until folded. Always fold the canopy prior to folding the stroller frame.Figure 15 shows how to fold the canopy.
- The canopy will ratchet forward or back to block the sun. Pull forward on the front canopy frame tube to move forward. Pull backward on the rear frame tube to move back.
- To remove the canopy: Press the lock button on the end of the male fitting while pulling upward on the canopy.Figure 16 illustrates releasing the canopy from the stroller.
TO REMOVE FRONT CHILD TRAY
- To remove the front child tray, pull forward on the locking lever on the tray arms to unlock. Note that you may attach or remove one end at a time. Also, the tray may be released on either side and will swing away for easy access to your child.Figures 6 and 7 show the front child tray locking lever and removal process.
TO FOLD STROLLER
Do not allow children near stroller while folding.
- Close the canopy as described in the Canopy section above. The canopy may be folded forward or backward.
- Unbuckle rear standing safety belt.
- To fold the stroller: Slide the red fold latch safety button in the center of the handle and squeeze the red handle while pushing forward on the handle. Once the stroller begins to fold, release the red handle and pull upward on the child tray until the stroller is folded.Figure 17 shows the folding mechanism involving the handle and fold latch.
- Secure the stroller in the folded position by latching the fold latch, located on the right side of the stroller handle, over the extended rivet on the armrest. You may have to rotate the front wheels to fold the stroller completely.Figure 18 shows the folded stroller secured by the latch.
TO UNFOLD STROLLER
Do not allow children near stroller while unfolding.
- Release the folding latch, which is located on the right side.Figure 18 shows the location of the folding latch.
- Lift up on the stroller handle with both hands until the stroller frame is erect and locked in the open position. The stroller has spring-loaded latches on both sides of the frame. Test that both latches are fully engaged prior to placing your child in the stroller.
WARNING: Avoid serious injury from falling. Do not use the Snap N Go bar if it is not securely locked onto both sides of the stroller.
TO ATTACH AN INFANT CAR SEAT
- Recline the front seat back. Remove the child tray.
- Slide the Snap N Go attachment bar into the female slots located on the frame tube. Make sure the Snap N Go attachment bar locks in place before attaching the car seat.Figure 19 illustrates the Snap N Go attachment bar sliding into the stroller frame slots.
- Place the car seat onto the front bar. Note: Most brands of infant car seats will lock onto the front bar, and some brands may simply rest on the front bar. For safe operation, it is very important that the car seat strap is always tightly fastened around the car seat.Figure 20 shows an infant car seat placed on the attachment bar and secured with the vehicle's seat belt.
- Strap the safety belt over the car seat and through the seat belt slots on your car seat, connect the buckles together. Tighten the strap so the car seat fits snug and cannot move. Check that the car seat is secure before using the stroller.Figure 20 also shows securing the car seat with the vehicle's seat belt.
