side latches engage (Figure B).
Rear Wheel Assembly
Turn stroller onto its side. Grasp rear wheel in one hand, slide wheel’s axle into
hole in rear of frame (Figure C1). Check to see that the wheel is properly inserted
by firmly pulling on the wheel, the wheel should not come off if fully inserted/
locked. Repeat for other side. To release wheel, push up on axle release lever

Turn stroller upright onto its rear wheels, tip stroller back so the handlebar is
down on the ground and the front fork is up. Align the fender’s tabs with the
holes on the front frame. Insert the included screws into the hole and tighten with
a Phillips screwdriver, repeat for the other 3 holes (Figure D).
Front Wheel Assembly
While the stroller is still tipped back, attach the front wheel by loosening the
wheel’s quick release (Q/R) lever on the front wheel far enough to allow the axle
to slide into the front fork (Figure E). Align the tab washer’s tab into the small hole
on the outside of the front fork. With wheel’s Q/R lever in open position, hand
tighten the cone nut until almost tight, then flip the wheel’s Q/R lever backward to
the closed position to lock wheel in place. Note: this step may require minor ad-
justment until the Q/R lever flips back with firm pressure. Pull outward on wheel
to ensure it is locked in place. Note: The black hex nuts should be on the inside
of the frame. These are factory set and should not require adjusting.

PROPER USE OF SEAT BELTS & SHOULDER STRAPS:
WARNING: Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out.

ends together and clip into place around child’s waist. Adjust waist and
shoulder straps for snug fit.
SHOULDER HARNESS
The shoulder straps for the harness are adjustable depending on the size of your
child. The shoulder straps are used with a loop system that puts the straps at 3
different sizes. When the strap is under both sets of loops (Fig 1), the smallest
length of strap is able to be used for smaller children. If more slack is needed
back the strap out from under the bottom loop and lay it over the loop (Fig 2).
If still more slack is required back the strap all the way out of the loops for the
maximum length of the shoulder strap (Fig 3).

over do not place more than 2 lb. (1 kg) on the trays.

holes with the handlebar’s knobs as shown (Figure F2).
