Baby Trend TS89 Stroller Instruction Manual

Front Wheel Installation

To attach the front wheel:

1. Unlock the release lever (illustrated in Figure 1a, showing a lever mechanism).
2. Unfold the stroller frame by pulling backward on the stroller handle (illustrated in Figure 1b, showing the frame opening).
3. Lean the stroller back so it rests on the handle, with the front and rear legs pointing upward. Position the front wheel over the front leg tube, aligning the hole in the wheel housing with the tube. Slide the wheel onto the leg.
4. Firmly push down until the wheel locks securely into place.

Note: Tug on the wheel to ensure it is securely attached.

Rear Wheel Installation

Attach the rear axle assembly and wheels as follows:

1. Position the axle assembly over the rear leg tubes, with the brake pedals facing backward.
2. Simultaneously push down with equal pressure on both sides until the wheels lock into place (illustrated in Figure 2, showing the axle assembly being attached to the rear legs).

Note: Never use the stroller if the wheels do not lock into place.

Child Tray Installation

1. To attach the child tray, push the angled side of the tray onto the post at the end of the right armrest.
2. Press downward on the snap button until it locks into place (illustrated in Figure 3a, showing the tray being attached to the right armrest). Rotate the tray downward until it latches onto the left armrest (illustrated in Figure 3b, showing the tray secured on both armrests).

Caution: The maximum weight that can be carried in the child tray is 3 lbs (1.36 kg).

Note: Ensure the snap button passes through and locks securely (illustrated in Figure 3c, showing a close-up of the snap button). The removable child tray insert is top-rack dishwasher safe. To remove the insert, slide your finger under the tray from the side edge to the center and pull out (illustrated in Figure 3d, showing finger sliding under tray). To reattach, set it in place and press down (illustrated in Figure 3e, showing tray being pressed into place).

Parent Tray Installation

Warning: Do not place hot liquids or more than 3 pounds in the parent tray, as this could result in serious burns or unstable conditions.

1. To attach the parent tray, align the tray slots with the corresponding slots on the stroller frame.
2. Slide the tray down until it locks into place (illustrated in Figure 4, showing the parent tray being attached to the stroller frame).

Note: Check that the parent tray is secure before use.

Multi-Position Handle Adjustment

1. To adjust the handle, press the two buttons simultaneously and move the handle up or down to a comfortable position for the user (illustrated in Figure 5, showing the handle adjustment buttons).

Canopy Installation

1. To install the canopy, slide the male ends of the canopy into the female slots on the stroller frame (illustrated in Figure 6a, showing canopy attachment points).
2. To open the canopy, push forward on the front edge while holding the rear of the canopy in place (illustrated in Figure 6b, showing canopy opening).
3. To fold the canopy, pull backward on the front edge (illustrated in Figure 6b, showing canopy folding).

Basket Installation

The rear basket tube must be installed prior to use.

1. Insert the female end of the rear basket tube into the male ends located on the basket frame until it locks into place (illustrated in Figure 7, showing basket tube installation).

Brakes Operation

Warning: Always set the brakes when the stroller is not being pushed to prevent it from rolling away. Never leave the stroller unattended on a hill or incline, as it may slide down.

1. To engage the brakes, apply light downward pressure to the brake lever located on each rear wheel.
2. The stroller may require slight forward or rearward movement to align the brake teeth with the wheel brake cluster (illustrated in Figure 8, showing brake engagement).
3. Check that the stroller does not move and that both brakes are properly applied.
4. To release the brakes, 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: A child can strangle in loose straps. Never leave a child in the seat when straps are loose or undone.

1. The 5-point harness shoulder straps have 3 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the child's shoulder.
2. To adjust harness height, unhook the shoulder strap from the crotch buckle (illustrated in Figure 9a, showing harness buckle release). Feed the shoulder strap through the harness spread slots (accessible from the rear of the seat underneath the fabric, illustrated in Figure 9b, showing strap path). Feed the shoulder strap through the appropriate slot and reattach it to the crotch buckle.
3. Carefully place the child in the stroller seat. Bring the safety harness around the child's waist and over their shoulders. Place the crotch strap between the child's legs.
4. Insert the male end of each shoulder/waist belt into the buckle on the crotch strap.
5. Tighten the harness to be snug around the child's waist and over their shoulders (illustrated in Figure 9c, showing a properly fitted harness).
6. To release the harness buckles, push the button on the center clasp (illustrated in Figure 10, showing the center clasp release button).

Seat Back Position

Warning: The upright position should only be used for a child who is at least 6 months old.

1. The seat has multiple recline positions controlled by a cord and adjuster located behind the seat.
2. To recline the seat, pull the adjuster loop backward (illustrated in Figure 11a, showing the recline adjuster).
3. To place the seat in a more upright position, grasp the adjuster with one hand and pull the cord to the desired position with the other hand (illustrated in Figure 11b, showing cord adjustment). The cord will lock automatically.

Infant Car Seat Attachment

Warning: Failure to follow these car seat attachment instructions could result in serious injury or death.

1. Position the infant car seat to face the rear of the stroller.
2. Place the car seat so it is cradled inside the front tray. Ensure the car seat stoppers are resting on the tray (illustrated in Figure 12a, showing car seat placement on tray).
3. When the infant car seat is seated firmly, secure both short clips over the infant car seat through the seat belt slots on the car seat, and pull the strap adjuster tight (illustrated in Figure 12b, showing clip securing).

Note: It is very important that the short clip is always tightly fastened around the infant car seat.

Never use the car seat without the child tray insert attached. Do not latch the car seat onto the child tray (illustrated in Figure 12a).

To remove the Infant Car Seat, remove both short clips from the seat belt slots (illustrated in Figure 12b) and pull the Infant car seat upward (illustrated in Figure 12c, showing upward removal).

To Fold the Stroller

Warning: Be careful when folding and unfolding the stroller to prevent finger entrapment.

Caution: Do not allow children near the stroller while folding.

1. Close the canopy as described in the Canopy section.
2. Place the seat in the furthest recline position.
3. Pull the stroller backward several inches to rotate the front wheels forward (illustrated in Figure 13a, showing wheel rotation).
4. To fold the stroller, slide the thumb trigger to the left and squeeze the pull trigger while pushing forward on the handle (illustrated in Figure 13b, showing folding mechanism).
5. Once the stroller begins to fold, release the handle and push forward on the handle until the stroller is folded. Lock the release lever to secure the stroller (illustrated in Figure 13c, showing the locked folded stroller).

To Unfold the Stroller

Caution: Do not allow children near the stroller while unfolding.

1. Unlock the release lever (illustrated in Figure 14a, showing release lever).
2. Unfold the stroller frame by pulling backward on the stroller handle (illustrated in Figure 14b, showing unfolding motion).
