Safety Features & Usage
Brakes
WARNING: Always set brakes when the stroller is not being pushed to prevent rolling away. Never leave unattended on a hill or incline.

Child Harness
WARNING: Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always use the safety harness.
STRANGULATION HAZARD: Child can strangle in loose straps. Never leave child in seat when straps are loose or undone.
The 5-point harness has 3 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the child's shoulder.

To release the harness: Apply pressure to both sides of each male clip until released. This requires moderate effort to prevent accidental release by the child.
