Steering
• Steering your Performance Single is simple: it’s balanced to turn with just a light touch on the
handlebar. For tighter turns, push down on the handlebar and raise the front wheel to steer.
Wrist Strap
• Make sure wrist strap is around your wrist whenever your baby is in the stroller. The Baby Jogger
is lightweight and ready to roll – with or without you – and the wrist strap helps you gain
control over your stroller.
In the Dark
• Since we are concerned about the safety of you and your baby, we recommend that you not
use your stroller at night. However, if you choose to, please attach reflective strips to the wheel
spokes and the seat. Bicycle lights can also be mounted on the handlebar.
Maintenance
• To preserve the longevity of your stroller, it is important to perform simple, regular maintenance.
It is necessary to regularly check that the air pressure in your stroller’s tires is the same P.S.I. that
is shown on the tires. From time to time, make sure that the joints and folding areas are still in
good condition. If you hear any squeaking or feel tension, you can take your stroller to a local
bike shop for added lubrication. All repairs should only be carried out by an authorized dealer.
In Motion
Folding
1 Release the snap locks on both sides. Push thumb tab to unlock frame.
2 Unfasten safety snaps. Push handle frame back until it rests on the ground. Lower frame
until it lays flat.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove
the footplate to fold stroller.

Washing
• You can machine wash your stroller’s seat in cold water with a mild detergent.
To minimize shrinkage, simply reattach the seat to the frame to dry.
(Please do not put the seat in the dryer!)
• Be sure to remove the frame from the back of the
seat before washing.
• You may clean the stroller frame using a soft, dry
cloth and an occasional spray of household wax will
maintain its healthy glow.
Wheel Care
• Moisture – especially from the beach – can rust your wheels and brake caliper. Spraying
regularly with a silicone lubricant will keep your wheels looking healthy.
• If you frequently use your jogger, it will benefit from a yearly visit to the bike shop for wheel
alignment. Refer to the PSI on the tire wall for the optimum air pressure for your tires. Please
do not over-inflate.
Storing
• Sunshine can fade seat fabric and dry out tires, so storing your stroller indoors will
prolong its good looks. However, if you do store it outside, using a tarp will help protect
against weather wear.
