Assembly and Usage Instructions

Follow these steps for assembling and using your My Babiie MB500 Travel System:

Chassis Setup

1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list.
2. Unfold the chassis by releasing the frame lock and pulling upwards on the handlebar or frame. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
3. Attach the rear wheels to the rear axle. They usually click into place.
4. Attach the front wheels to the front wheel mounts. Ensure they are securely fitted. If the front wheels are lockable swivel wheels, check the mechanism for locking them straight.
5. Check that all wheels spin freely and are securely attached.

Configuring the Carrycot

1. Locate the seat unit. Identify the points where it converts to a carrycot. This often involves adjusting straps or attaching a separate mattress base.
2. Attach the canopy to the carrycot frame.
3. Place the carrycot onto the chassis, aligning the connection points. Secure it by pushing down until it clicks into place. Ensure the carrycot is stable.
4. For newborns, ensure the carrycot is in the lie-flat position and secure the baby with the integrated harness or a separate bassinet strap if provided.

Configuring the Pushchair Seat

1. If the seat unit is in carrycot mode, convert it to the pushchair seat by adjusting straps or removing carrycot-specific padding.
2. Attach the canopy to the seat unit.
3. Attach the seat unit to the chassis. You can choose to face the child towards you (parent-facing) or away from you (world-facing). Align the connectors and push down until it clicks.
4. Adjust the seat recline to the desired position using the recline lever, typically located at the back of the seat unit.
5. Secure the child in the seat using the 5-point safety harness. Adjust the straps for a snug fit.

Using the Travel System with a Car Seat

1. Ensure you have the correct car seat adaptors for your specific infant car seat.
2. Attach the adaptors to the designated points on the chassis.
3. Place the infant car seat onto the adaptors, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
4. Verify the car seat is stable before placing a child in it.

Operation and Folding

1. Braking: Engage the brake by pressing down on the brake pedal, usually located on the rear axle. Release the brake by lifting the pedal.
2. Handlebar Adjustment: Press the adjustment buttons on the handlebar and pivot it to your preferred height.
3. Folding the Chassis: Release the frame lock. Depending on the model, you may need to press a button or lever on the handlebar or frame while pushing down or collapsing the chassis. Ensure the system folds correctly and locks for storage. Some systems may require the seat unit to be removed or in a specific position before folding.

Safety Information

Always adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Ensure all locks are engaged before use.
• Never leave a child unattended.
• Use the 5-point safety harness at all times.
• Do not place heavy bags on the handlebar, as this can affect stability.
• Check that all components are securely attached and functioning correctly before each use.
• Ensure the travel system is used on a stable, level surface when stationary.
• The maximum weight capacity for the seat unit and carrycot should not be exceeded. Refer to specific product details for weight limits.

This product is approved to BS EN 1888:2018 standards, ensuring it meets rigorous safety requirements for wheeled child restraints.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your My Babiie MB500 Travel System in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: Wipe the chassis and plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. The fabric parts, including the seat cover, carrycot lining, and canopy, can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For removable fabrics, check specific care labels for washing instructions (e.g., hand wash or gentle machine wash).
• Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before storing or reassembling.
• Storage: Store the travel system in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Maintenance: Periodically check wheels, brakes, and folding mechanisms for proper function. Lubricate moving parts if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant.
