Read these instructions carefully before use and keep
them for future reference. Your childs safety may be
affected if you do not follow these instructions.
Please read this User Guide carefully BEFORE
trying to use your pushchair
Looking after your pushchair
The pushchair and its cover have been
carefully designed, manufactured and tested to
high safety standards.
Regularly inspect and maintain your pushchair
to ensure freedom of movement of the joints,
locking devices and security of components.
To prolong the life of your pushchair, keep it
clean and do not leave it in direct sunlight for
extended periods of time.
Cleaning the cover
The seat cover is removable and can be
washed in accordance with the washing
instructions on the label.
The hood and trims may be cleaned using
warm water with household soap or mild
detergent. Allow it to dry fully, preferably away
from direct sunlight.
DO NOT dry clean or use bleach or any other
aggressive cleaning agents.
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE ADVICE
If the wheels squeak use a silicon based spray
or light lubricating oil ensuring it penetrates the
wheel and axle assembly.
Regularly clean and lubricate the front swivel
and wheel units as dirty or dry units can have
an adverse effect on manoeuvrability and
steering.
When using the Stroller on the beach, clean it
completely afterwards to remove all the sand
and salt from the mechanisms and wheel
assemblies.
If there are compression marks or indentations
on the tyres – use a domestic hair dryer to
gently warm the area. This should help make
them disappear. (DO NOT OVERHEAT).
Under certain climate conditions the covers
and trims may be affected by mould and
mildew. To help prevent this occurring, do not
fold or store this Stroller if it is wet or damp.
Always store in a well ventilated area.
To maintain the safety of your Stroller, seek
prompt repairs for bent, torn or broken
parts. Use only those parts and accessories
approved by Britax.
Replacement parts and accessories are
available from your Britax stockist or contact
Britax Customer Service Department on 01264
386034.
This product is not intended for commercial
use.
WARNING – Use a harness as soon as your
child can sit unaided.
WARNING – Any load attached to the handle
affects the stability of the pushchair.
