Double or Single mode?
There is an increased risk of the stroller tipping if used in double mode
with only one child in the seat. Please be mindful of this and hold the
stroller at all times if you are doing so.
When using the stroller in single
mode, no adaptors are necessary and
the bassinet or seat can be attached
directly into the central connectors.
(Note: if using a Maxi Cosi car capsule,
you will always need to first insert the
capsule adaptors).
When using the stroller in double
mode you will need to first attach two
sets of adaptors.
The first set attach into the central
connectors for the “top position”. To
remove them simply push the
buttons on the side and lift off.
The second set will slide onto the
guides at the front of the frame for
the “lower position”. To remove them
you will need to release the button at
the top of the connector before
sliding off.

Secure the straps to the handlebar by
threading the Velcro through the plastic
guide. Ensure it’s as tight as possible to
prevent it from falling down the frame. Be
careful carrying liquids in the handlebar bag.

Tips for maintaining
your pram.
safety of your pram. To keep your DUO in good
working condition and ensure that it lasts as long as
possible will require regular maintenance and you
will need to service your pram every 6 months.
Regular maintenance
should include:
Inspecting the locking devices, levers,
joints, buttons, brakes, wheels, safety
secure, moving freely and in fully
working order.
If any parts of the pram have become
cause. Then try a light application of a
sprayable silicone lubricant, ensuring
that it penetrates between the
components. (Note: Only use lubricant
labeled ‘Silicone Lubricant’, other
lubricants can deteriorate the plastic
parts of your pram and also attract dirt
and dust e.g. DO NOT use standard
We recommend WD-40 SPECIALIST
Silicon Lubricant or SCA Silicone
Spray available from Supercheap
Auto, Bunnings and most hardware
stores.
Preventing rust
& mold
After exposure to wet or damp
conditions (especially trips to the beach,
snow or in the rain), leave the pram
fully open in a warm, well ventilated
environment to prevent rust and mold.
You may need to dry with a soft, lint
free cloth. Left damp it will encourage
mildew, mold or rust to form, damaging
the pram.
Correct Use
The DUO has been designed for urban
living and weekend adventures which
means it’s ideal for walking on sealed
footpaths, in shopping centers, cafes
and down at your local park. Use of the
DUOterrain
will clearly place more stress on the
frame and wheels and cause it to wear
out faster. For this reason we
recommend “weekend adventures” and
Ensure children are not present when applying silicon lubricant or allowing it to dry.
Always spray outside or in a well ventilated area. Ensure you use minimal product and
wipe away excess solution before use.
