Stroller Assembly

Please read all instructions before assembling and using this product.

Open Stroller

Separate the storage latch from the storage mount [1]. Lift the handle upwards [2-1]. Push the foot plate downwards with your foot [2-2]. A click sound indicates the stroller is fully open. Check that the stroller is completely open before continuing.

Assemble Front Wheels

Attach the front wheels to the front legs. Check they are securely attached by pulling on the wheel assemblies [3]. To disassemble, press the snap buttons [4].

Assemble Rear Wheels

Attach the rear wheels to the rear legs [5]. Check they are securely attached by pulling on the wheel assemblies. Snap the brake cable into the fixing tabs under the square tubes to secure it [6].

Assemble Hood

Align the hood mount holes with the posts on the tubes and insert to assemble the hood [7]. Attach the hook and loop fasteners and snap the buttons to secure the rear hood to the backrest [8]. The fully assembled stroller is shown [9].

Stroller Operation

Adjust Recline

The backrest has 5 recline angles. Squeeze the adjust button [10-1] and adjust the backrest to the desired angle [10-2]. To raise the backrest, push it up. Ensure the recline is set properly for use.

Use Buckle

Release Buckle: Press the center button to release the buckle [11].

Lock Buckle: Match the waist belt buckle with the shoulder buckle [12-1] and click into the center buckle [12-2]. A "click" sound confirms the buckle is locked [12-3]. Always secure your child with the harness to avoid serious injury. Ensure the child is snugly secured, with about one hand's width between the child and the shoulder harness. Do not cross the shoulder belts, as this can cause pressure on the child's neck.

Use Shoulder & Waist Harnesses

To protect your child from falling out, check that the shoulder and waist harnesses are at the proper height and length after placing the child in the seat.

• 13-1 Shoulder harness anchor A
• 13-2 Shoulder harness anchor B
• 13-3 Slide adjuster

For larger children, use shoulder harness anchor A with the highest slots. For smaller children, use shoulder harness anchor B with the lowest slots. To adjust the shoulder harness anchor position, turn the anchor to be level with the side facing forward. Thread it through the shoulder harness slot from back to front [14]. Rethread it through the slot closest to the child's shoulder height [15]. Use the slide adjuster to change the harness length [16-1]. Press the button [16-2] while pulling the waist harness to the proper length [16-3].

Adjust Calf Support

The calf support has 2 positions. To raise it, push it upwards. To lower it, press the adjustment buttons on both sides [17-1] and rotate the calf support downwards [17-2].

Use Front Swivel Lock

Push up the front swivel locks to maintain the moving direction [18]. It is recommended to use swivel locks on uneven surfaces.

Use Brake

To lock wheels, step the brake lever downwards [19]. To release wheels, lift the brake lever upwards [19-1]. Always apply the brake when the stroller is stationary. Clean the brake system regularly. To ensure the brake is fully engaged, gently rock the stroller backwards and forwards before releasing the handle.

Use Hood

To open the hood, pull it toward the front [20]. To fold the hood, pull it toward the back.

Use Tether Strap

Use the tether strap to prevent the stroller from rolling away inadvertently. Ensure your hand through the loop allows easy control of the stroller [21].

Fold Stroller

Fold the hood before folding the stroller. Lift the folding plate [22], step the folding pedal downwards [23-1], and push the stroller forward to fold [23-2]. The storage latch will automatically hook onto the storage mount, and the stroller will be folded and locked completely [24].

Use Carry Strap

You can carry the stroller easily by lifting the carry strap [25].

Accessories

Accessories may be sold separately or may not be available depending on the region.

Use Rain Cover

Place the rain cover over the stroller and attach the hook and loop fasteners and snaps [27]. Always check ventilation when using the rain cover. Ensure the rain cover is cleaned and dried before folding when not in use. Do not fold the stroller with the rain cover attached. Do not place your child in the stroller with the rain cover during hot weather.

Use Armbar

Align the armbar ends with the armbar mounts and insert to lock [28, 29]. The assembled armbar is shown [30]. To disassemble, press the armbar release button [31-1] and pull out the armbar [31-2].

Care and Maintenance

• Removable seat pad: Wash in cold water and drip-dry. No bleach.
• Stroller frame: Clean with household soap and warm water. No bleach or detergent.
• Periodically check for loose screws, worn parts, or torn material/stitching. Replace or repair as needed.
• Excessive exposure to sun or heat can cause fading or warping.
• If the stroller becomes wet, open the hood and allow it to dry thoroughly before storing.
• If wheels squeak, use a light oil (e.g., Silicon Spray, antirust oil, or sewing machine oil) on the axle and wheel assembly [26].
• If the brake pedal is stiff, flush debris from the brake system with clean water before lubricating.
• When using the stroller at the beach or in dusty/sandy areas, clean it thoroughly afterward to remove sand and salt from brake mechanisms and wheel assemblies.
