Safety Information
Brakes

Before placing your child in the stroller, please follow the instructions below.
- 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 in order to line up the teeth on the brake with each wheel brake cluster [Figure 9]. Check that the stroller will not move and that both brakes are properly applied. To release, 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.
To secure the child:
- 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 [Figure 10a].
- 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 [Figure 10b].
- Push Red Button on Center Clasp; the two Harness Buckles will pop free [Figure 11].
