WARNING! All caregivers and/or attendants must read this user manual prior to operating the Reach
chair. Familiarize yourself with handling and functions of the product prior to actual use. If there is
any information in this manual that you do not understand, please contact your authorized Leggero
provider for assistance.
WARNING! Non-conventional use and/or handling of the product can be dangerous. The pushchair
is not safely suitable for skating or similar high speed activities. Swiveling front wheels can wobble
at higher speed and can cause a sudden stop and tip over of the chair. For maximum safety use the
pushchair only at regular walking speed. Under no circumstance should you let go of the handlebar
while pushing. Do not ever push the chair away.
WARNING! The initial set up of this pushchair must be performed by a qualied technician.
WARNING! Procedures other than those described in this manual must be performed by a qualied
technician.
WARNING! The weight carried by the Reach chair must not exceed the total weight limit of 80lb/36kg
for 12” chairs, 110lb/50kg for 14” chairs, or 150lb/68kg for 16” chairs (Maximum occupant weight plus
weight of accessories and/or items carried.)
WARNING! Adjustments made to the chair may affect stability, increasing the risk of tipping.
Adjustments must be made by your authorized Leggero provider.
WARNING! Avoid getting the chair wet or storing the chair in damp environments. Excess moisture
can cause rust or corrosion, which can result in component failure. If the chair is exposed to moisture,
dry thoroughly.
WARNING! Do not leave the chair or child in the sun or near other heat sources since the surfaces on
the chair may reach temperatures capable of burning the child. Do not leave the chair or child outside
in cold temperatures because contact with a chair in temperatures below freezing could result in injury.
Damage to the chair may also result from exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures.
WARNING! The chair should only be used on solid and level ground. Do not attempt to push
the chair over or into obstacles. Always remove the child from the chair when lifting chair to clear
obstacles.
WARNING! Do not use the chair on slopes steeper than 5 degrees. Do not leave the chair parked on
a slope or an incline. Pay particular attention when on slopes and inclines to prevent the child from
falling out of the chair, the chair from tipping over, or the chair from rolling away.
WARNING! Before leaving the chair and before getting into and out of it, always engage the wheel
locks. Do not use the wheel locks to stop the chair while moving.
Warnings: Failure to Follow These Warnings Could Result in
Serious Injury or Death

REACH User Manual

WARNING! Never leave your child unattended in the chair even if they are strapped in and the wheel
locks are engaged.
WARNING! If the chair occupant reaches for objects in front, to the side, or behind the chair, be sure
that they do not lean too far. The shift in the center of gravity might cause the chair to tip over.
WARNING! Do not stand on the footplate when transferring into or out of the chair.
WARNING! When folding the chair, be aware that there is a risk of injury through ngers becoming
crushed or trapped. Reference section 4.6 of this manual for further information.

WARNING! The chair is only intended to carry one child at a time. Do not carry more than one child
at a time.
WARNING! Only lift the chair by parts that are solidly attached. The chair should be lifted by the side
frame members whenever possible. If folded, hold the chair by the lower side frame tubes. Always
use two people for lifting to prevent injury and damage to the chair.
WARNING! Please keep packaging material away from children. Discard all plastic packaging
material immediately after unpacking.
WARNING! If your chair is not equipped with the transit option, do not use it as a seat in a motor
vehicle. Transfer the child from the chair to an approved motor vehicle seat. If your chair is equipped
with the transit option, refer to the section 4.12 in this manual.
WARNING! The chair must be inspected and maintained per the chart in Section 6: Maintenance.
Problems detected must be repaired prior to resuming use of the chair.

4.12 Using The Reach Chair As A Seat In A Motor Vehicle
The Reach Chair is approved for transporting children in motor vehicles when it is equipped with the OPTIONAL
transit feature and used in accordance with these instructions. The chair must be secured in a forward-facing position
with a Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS) which meets the requirements of SAE J2249
Recommended Practice—Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems For Use in Motor Vehicles.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This chair conforms to and has been dynamically tested in compliance with ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 1 – Section 19.5.3.
Please contact Leggero or your authorized Leggero provider if you have any questions regarding use of the chair for
seating in a motor vehicle. Contact information can be found on page 2 of this manual.
WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS:
• The Reach chair must be used as indicated in these instructions and the instructions supplied by the vehicle mounted
tie-down manufacturer.
• Chair occupant should be transferred to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle restraint system whenever possible.
• Do not exceed maximum occupant weight ratings. Reference Section 1.8 of this manual.
• The Reach Chair must be placed in a forward-facing position when used as a seat in a motor vehicle. Use an
approved 4-point strap-type tie-down system for the chair. Use an approved 3-point belt for occupants over
50lb/23kg. For occupants under 50lb/23kg, a 5-point transit harness is required.
• For approved transit tie-down locations and location of belt/harness attachment pin, see Figures 30 and 31.
• Restraints must not be held away from the child’s body by chair components or accessories.
• Belt or harness straps should be adjusted until they are snug and do not have slack. If you can pinch the webbing of
the belt straps between your ngers, then it is too loose.
• Only belt restraints that comply with the provisions of ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 1 – Section 19 4.9.2-4.9.5 and 5.2 that
have been dynamically tested in accordance with Annex A & 5.3 of the same, should be used on the chair for use as a
