TO ASSEMBLE STROLLER
Remove stroller from box. The front wheels, rear wheels, child tray, and parent tray need to be installed prior to use.

Position the front wheel assembly at the front tube, aligning the hole in the swivel assembly with the front tube. Pull upward on the boot to expose the push button. Push each front wheel assembly onto the front tube, ensuring the wheel assembly locks onto the push button on the front leg. Pull on the wheel assembly to confirm it is securely attached.

The cover of the child/car seat tray can be fastened in the closed position after your child outgrows the infant car seat to prevent an older child from opening the tray. To secure the tray cover, remove the tray from the stroller. Install the tray cover. Place the tray with the lid side down on a soft flat surface. Remove the screw stored under the tray. Insert the screw into the hole in the bottom of the tray and into the matching hole in the cover. Tighten until snug, but do not over tighten. If you wish to use the car seat tray function later, remove the screw and store it in the tray bottom as before.

The seat has a multiple position recline 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. 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. The strap will lock automatically. The strap must go across a slot on either side of the central seat body when adjusting seat back height.

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 to align the teeth on the brake with each wheel brake cluster. Check that the stroller will not move and that the brakes are properly applied. To release, gently lift up on the brake lever.
