Assembly Instructions
Front Wheel Installation
[Warning] Follow all instructions for child safety.
1. Release the fold latch (Figure 1a). Unfold the stroller frame by pulling upward on the stroller handle (Figure 1b). Ensure the frame is locked by pressing down on the handle.
2. Underneath the front end of the frame, locate the front wheel hub (Figure 1c). Firmly insert the front wheel into the hub until it clicks into position.
Testing for Proper Wheel Installation
[Warning] Fall Hazard: Always check the double nut locking system before each use to ensure the front wheel is securely fastened. See Figure 20c for tightening.
3. Lift the front of the stroller off the ground and pull down on the wheel to ensure it is secure (Figure 2). Note: The wheel must not come off.
[Warning] Always set brakes when the stroller is not being pushed to prevent it from rolling away. Never leave unattended on a hill or incline.
Rear Wheel Installation
4. Lean the stroller forward to rest on the front wheel. To attach the rear wheels, align the wheel's axle into the bushing on the stroller frame. Push the wheel into the bushing until it clicks. Repeat for the other wheel (Figure 3). Pull on the wheel to verify it is set into place.
[Never] use the stroller if wheels are not locked into place. Contact customer service immediately at 1-800-328-7363 (8:00 am - 4:30 pm PST) for assistance.
Parent Tray Installation
[Warning] Do not place hot liquids or more than 3 pounds in the parent tray. Serious burns or unstable conditions could result.
5. To attach the parent tray, insert the hole on the tray into the pin on the handle. Align the opposite side of the tray and press down until it clicks. Pull up to verify proper installation. Be careful not to pinch fingers (Figure 4). To remove, pull outward on one end while lifting upward.
Canopy Installation
6. To open the canopy: pull forward on the front edge while holding the rear in place (Figure 5a).
7. To close the canopy: push backwards on the front edge towards the handle (Figure 5b).
Child Tray Installation
[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 tray with a child in the stroller. Do not place hot liquids or more than 3 pounds (1.36 kg) in the child tray. Serious burns or unstable conditions could result.
8. To attach the child tray: hold the tray at a 90° angle and insert into the receiving end of the stroller armrest (Figure 6a). Rotate the tray downward to the opposite side and snap closed (Figure 6b).
9. To access the child seat: Press the tray release button and rotate upward on the tray (Figure 7a).
10. To remove the child tray: Press the tray release button (Figure 7a) and rotate the tray 180° and pull it out (Figure 7b).
Seatback Positioning
11. To recline the seat, press the side tabs on the adjuster and pull downward. To place the seat into the upright position, hold the strap hoop and push the adjuster upward (Figure 8). The upright position should be used only for a child at least 6 months old. Always readjust the safety harness, including shoulder belts, when repositioning the seatback.
Infant Car Seat Installation
[Warning] Never jog or run with your newborn in the car seat position. Use for strolling only.
12. Put the stroller seat in the full recline position (Figure 8). Turn car seat support tabs on the stroller frame (Figure 9a). These tabs are only for the infant car seat. Check that the front child tray is firmly attached to the stroller armrests. Note: May require locating the support tab under the stroller fabric (Figure 9b).
13. Position the infant car seat so it faces toward the rear of the stroller. Push the car seat into the front tray until it latches into place (Figure 9c). The rear of the car seat rests on the support tabs. Put the stroller seat in the most upright position for additional support (Figure 8). Note: Locate the short clip on the side of the stroller frame (Figure 9d).
14. When the infant car seat is locked firmly into place, secure the single short clip over the infant car seat through the belt path on the car seat (Figure 10). It is important that the clip is always tightly fastened. Always secure your child with the car seat harness when using the car seat in the stroller. If your child is already in the car seat, check that the child is secured with the harness. Improper use may result in serious injury or death.
15. To remove the car seat from the child tray: First use the carry handle buttons to rotate it to the carry position (Figure 11a). Remove the short clip from the infant car seat (Figure 11b). To remove the Infant Car Seat, squeeze the release handle at the top-rear of the seat and carefully lift upward (Figure 11c). From the rear side of the stroller, disengage both car seat support tabs (Figure 11d).
Harness and Brakes
Harness Adjustment:
16. The 5-point harness 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 (Figure 14a).
17. Carefully place the child in the seat and bring the safety harness around the waist and over the shoulders. Place the crotch strap between the child's legs (Figure 14b). 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 shoulders (Figure 14c).
18. To release the harness: Push the Red Button on the Center Clasp; the two Harness Buckles will pop free (Figure 15).
Brake Operation:
19. To engage rear brakes: Push down firmly on the brake to lock (Figure 12a). Note: Check that the stroller will not move and both brakes are properly applied. Push up on the brake to unlock (Figure 12b).
Front Wheel Lock
[Warning] Fall Hazard: Before running, jogging, or walking fast, lock the front wheel from swiveling to prevent tip-over.
20. The front wheel has a swivel locking device. Push the button upward to engage locks and downward to disengage (Figure 13). Note: Locks in two directions; Direction (1) is recommended.
Jogging Safety
[Warning] Never jog or run with your newborn in the car seat position; use for strolling only.
[Strangulation Hazard] Children can strangle in loose straps. When not in use, hook the tether strap onto the stroller handle. Keep the tether strap out of children's reach.
21. When jogging, use the following safety features:
- Lock the front swivel wheel in a straight position.
- Use the tether strap: This strap helps maintain control in case of a fall while running (Figure 16a). To use, remove it from the handle and attach it to your wrist (Figure 16b).
Tire Inflation
22. Check tire pressure before use. Tires are shipped un-inflated and should be inflated regularly to the P.S.I. specified on each tire.
Note: Only use a hand pump. Do not use an air compressor. Do not inflate above the maximum recommended pressure.
Folding and Unfolding
23. To fold the stroller: Recline the seat (refer to Figure 8) and close the canopy (refer to Figure 5b). Pull each trigger release (Figure 18a). Push down on the stroller handle until completely folded. Secure the latch to lock (Figure 18b).
24. To unfold the stroller: Stand it on the ground with all three wheels touching the ground. Release the folding latch on the right side (Figure 19a). Lift up on the stroller handle with both hands until the frame is erected and locked in the open position (Figure 19b). Ensure the frame is locked by pressing down on the handle.
