1.1 Before using it for the first time
Danger, risk of serious injury or death!

you discard the packaging at your local civic
amenity site.
1. Remove the buggy and the canopy from the box.
2. Remove all packaging materials and discard
immediately.
3. Use the product description to check if the
buggy is complete (see p. 7).
1.2 Unfolding the buggy
Warning!
• Beware of any moving parts or hinges when
unfolding, folding or adjusting the buggy. Beware
of getting your fingers or hands, or your child's
fingers or hands jammed.
The buggy is folded.
1. Pick up the buggy by the handle grips (the
wheels must be resting on the ground, the 1st
lock is on the same side as where you are
standing, see fig. 1).
2. Unlock the transport lock with your left hand
(see fig. 2).
3. Use your foot to press down the 1st lock (see fig. 3).
The chassis is now in a straight line with the frame lock
(see fig. 4).
1.3 Fitting the canopy
The buggy is unfolded.
1. Click the plastic canopy fasteners into position
on the chassis so that the wide side of the
keyhole falls over the fastening point of the
canopy on the chassis (see fig. 5).
2. Slide both plastic fasteners downwards on the
chassis, so that the little peg of the canopy's
fastening point clicks into the narrow side of the
keyhole (see fig. 6).
3. Press down both canopy hinges (see fig. 6).
4. Fasten the Velcro on the canopy to the Velcro on
the buggy (see fig. 7).
2 Using the buggy
