Safety During Use

Brakes

⚠️ WARNING: Always set brakes when the stroller is not being pushed so it does not roll away. NEVER leave stroller unattended on a hill or incline.

To Engage Brakes: Apply light downward pressure to the brake lever on each rear wheel. The stroller may require slight forward or rearward movement to align the brake teeth with the wheel brake cluster. [Illustration showing the brake lever mechanism on the rear wheel]. Check that the stroller does not move and both brakes are properly applied.

To Release Brakes: Gently lift up on the brake lever.

Securing the Child

⚠️ 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.

Harness Adjustment (5-point):

  • The shoulder straps have 3 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder.
  • Carefully place the child in the stroller seat. 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. [Diagram of the 5-point harness with attachment points and strap names]

To Release Harness: Apply pressure to both sides of each male clip until released. This requires moderate effort to prevent accidental release by the child. [Illustration showing how to release the harness clips]

Seat Back Position

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

⚠️ WARNING: Never use the seat in a reclined position unless the enclosure is raised to cover the front opening, to prevent the child from slipping into leg openings and strangling.

Seat Recline Adjustment: The seat has multiple recline positions controlled by a cord and spring adjuster. To recline, pull back on the adjuster loop. To move to a more upright position, grab the adjuster with one hand and pull the cord to the desired position with the other. The cord will lock automatically. [Illustration showing seat recline adjustment]
