Keeping the stroller stable
Do not place or attach weight on the handle or side of the stroller. Doing so may
make the stroller’s frame unstable. Use only approved Edwards & Co accessories.
Using the stroller on surfaces
Do not use this stroller on escalators, or on moving or mechanical conveyer belts.
Always take your child out of the stroller when on stairs.
This stroller is designed for use on flat and gentle sloping surfaces. Take care on
higher sloping or uneven surfaces. These surfaces increase the risk of the stroller
tipping.
The brakes must be applied when the stroller is not moving.
Using the stroller on sand and near or in salt water

moving parts of this stroller. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover
corrosion caused by environmental factors such as salt water or sand.
Never rinse the frame, wheels or housings with water. Water and/or debris can
interfere with the internal mechanisms, including the brakes and damage your
stroller.
Keeping the stroller away from fire and extreme heat
Do not store the stroller in areas where high temperatures may occur.
Examples are a roof space, or beside shed walls that can get hot.
