and axle assembly.
When using your stroller at the beach - completely clean your stroller afterwards to remove
the sand and salt from the mechanisms and wheel assembly.
If there are compression marks on the tyres - use a domestic hair dryer to gently warm the
tyre and the compression marks should slowly disappear.

required. To maintain the safety of your nursery product, seek prompt repairs for bent,
