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 downward pressure to the brake levers located on the rear axle. The stroller may require forward or rearward movement in order to engage the brake (illustrated in Figure 8). Check that the stroller will not move once the brakes are properly applied. To release, gently lift up on the brake levers.
Front Wheel Lock
- The front wheels are equipped with a swivel locking device. Push the button on each wheel upwards to engage the locks and push downward to disengage the locking device (illustrated in Figure 9).
To Secure 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.
- The shoulder straps of the 5-point harness have 3 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below the top of the child's shoulder (illustrated in Figure 10a). To adjust harness height, unhook the shoulder strap from the crotch buckle. Feed the shoulder strap through the harness spread slots. These slots can be accessed from the rear of the seat, underneath the fabric. Feed shoulder strap through the appropriate slot and reattach shoulder strap to crotch buckle.
- Carefully place the child in the stroller seat and 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 (illustrated in Figure 10b).
- Push button on center clasp; the two harness buckles will pop free (illustrated in Figure 11).
