• Lean the stroller backwards so that it rests on the handle and rear frame tubes and the front wheel tubes are pointing upward. Position the front wheel assembly at the front tube such that the hole in the swivel assembly will slide onto the front tube. See figure 2. Push each front wheel assembly onto the front tube, being careful that the wheel assembly locks onto the front leg. Pull on the wheel assembly to ensure that it is securely attached to the stroller. See figure 2.
• Lean the stroller forward to rest on the front wheels. Assemble the rear wheels as follows:
1. Slide the rear wheel housings onto each rear stroller leg until locked into place. The push button on the forward edge of the leg should snap into the hole in the housing. See figure 3.
2. Slide the rear axle through the housings as shown in figure 4.
3. Slide each wheel onto the rear axle and secure in place with the Locking Cap. Snap the solid cap over the Locking Cap. Snap the Hub Cap onto the wheel. See figure 5. See figure 6 for order assembly.
• Pull on each wheel to ensure that each is firmly attached to the axle.
• Ensure that the wheels are firmly locked into place. Do Not use the stroller if the wheels are not locked into place, but rather contact our customer service department immediately at (800) 328-7363, between the hours of 8:00am and 4:30pm PCT, for assistance.

⚠️ WARNING: Failure to follow these car seat attachment instructions could result in serious injury or death.

FRONT CHILD / CAR SEAT TRAY COVER

• The cover of the child/car seat tray may be fastened in the closed position after your child outgrows the infant car seat. This will prevent an older child from opening the child tray. To secure the tray cover, remove the tray from the stroller as shown in the "to remove front child tray" section. Install the tray cover. Place the tray with the lid side down on a soft flat surface. Remove the screw stored under the tray as shown in figure 24. Insert the screw into the hole in the bottom of the tray and into the matching hole in the cover. Tighten until snug. Do not over tighten. If you wish to use the car seat tray function at a later date (for a second child), remove the screw and store it in the tray bottom as before. Please see figure 24.

Figure 24: Diagram illustrating the tray cover being secured with a screw, showing screw storage and the locking hole.

SEAT BACK POSITIONING

⚠️ WARNING: The upright position should be used only for a child that is at least 6 months old.

• The seat has a multiple position recline that is controlled by a strap and buckle assembly behind the seat. To recline the seat, loosen the strap through the buckle and adjust to the required recline position. Please see figure 25.
• To place the seat back in a more upright position, press upward on the seat back with one hand while pulling the straps through the buckle with the other. See figure 26. The strap will lock automatically.
• The strap must go across the slot on either side of the central seat body when adjusting seat back height. See figure 26a.

Figure 26: Diagram demonstrating how to adjust the seat back to a more upright position.

Figure 26a: Visual showing the correct path of the strap across the seat body for height adjustment.

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 in order to line up the teeth on the brake with each wheel brake cluster. See figure 27. Check that the stroller will not move and that the brakes are properly applied.
• To release, gently lift up on the brake lever.

Figure 27: Diagram showing the brake lever on the rear wheel and how to engage it.

CANOPY

• To open the canopy, push forward on the front frame of the canopy. To close the canopy, pull the front edge toward the rear of the stroller until folded. Always fold the canopy prior to folding the stroller frame. Please see figure 28.

TO FOLD STROLLER

CAUTION: Read the following section completely before folding your stroller!

• Close the canopy as described in the Canopy section above. Place seat back in fully reclined position by unbuckling the recline strap. Pull stroller backward several inches to rotate the front wheels to the front. Please see figure 32.
• To fold the stroller, slide the red fold lock with your thumb while squeezing the large red fold button in the center of the handle and push downward on the handle. Once the stroller begins to fold, release the red handle and pull rearward on the child tray until the stroller is folded. Please see figure 33.
• Secure the stroller in the folded position by fastening the fold locking latch, located on the right side of the stroller at the intersection of the handle and the armrest, over the extended rivet on the lower frame tube.
