Routine Maintenance
Trouble Shooting
STORE IN A COOL AND DRY AREA, especially in the summer. Do not store the stroller in the trunk of
a vehicle.
SEAT CUSHION
The seat cushion is machine washable. Set to gentle cycle using warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach. Lay seat cushion and canopy and car seat covers flat to dry in shaded area. Do not machine dry. To pre-
vent color fading, do not leave soaking for a long period. If the seat cushion is frayed or unraveling, discontinue
use and call customer service for further instruction.
CANOPY, SEAT BELT, FIXED SEAT BASE AND BASKET
Hand wash with brush. Wipe out excess water with a dry cloth and dry in a shaded area. For stubborn dirt, dilute
a mild detergent then apply directly to the dirty area. Wipe out the detergent.
MAIN BODY
Briskly wipe off any mud and dirt. To clean the body, wipe with a damp cloth then wipe out any traces of
moisture on the body with a dry cloth. The main body might become moldy and musty if not wiped dry.
Excessive exposure to the sun could cause premature color fading of stroller plastic and fabric.
WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
After prolonged normal use, the wheels of your stroller may not swivel or turn as easily as when the stroller was
new. This is usually due to a buildup of dirt in the swivel mechanism. Before adding lubrication, remove the swiv-
el wheels by pressing the release button and wiping off mud and dirt. Do not use soap and water to wash
wheels. Periodically check that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
Avoid lubricating the swivel wheels whenever possible. Excessive lubrication or adding lubricant to swivel
wheels when new may cause them
to develop a shimmy or wobble
that may quicken their deteriora-
tion. Add silicone* to the wheel
assem lies in small amounts.
Do not use cooking oil or WD-40
ecause oil attracts dust and
would hinder the movement
rather than improve it.
*Silicone spray is available in varying size cans at most hardware stores.
STROLLER WON’T FOLD
- Check to see that the seat belt is not caught in the side.
- Make sure front swivels are locked.
- Remove all items from the basket.
- Make sure the seat back is in the upright position.
DIFFICULT TO STEER/STROLLER PULLS TO ONE SIDE
- Remove any items hanging from the handle.
- Make sure weight in basket is distributed evenly.
- Check that the brakes are not in the locked position.
- Clean wheels and lubricate if necessary.
DIFFICULT TO GET UP CURBS
- Pulling stroller backward makes going
up a curb difficult, and could pose a safety hazard.
Pull the handle up to lift the rear wheels
onto the curb, then pull the stroller backward
until the front wheels clear.
DIFFICULT TO GOING DOWN CURBS
- Turn stroller around, brining rear wheels toward the edge of the curb. Gently lower rear
wheels onto the surface below. Once the rear wheels have landed, guide the front portion
of the stroller, using the armrest as support.
