INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
• WARNING: A CHILD’S SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
• WARNING: IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO LEAVE YOUR CHILD
UNATTENDED.
• THIS PRODUCT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR RUNNING OR SKATING.
• WARNING: ANY LOAD ATTACHED TO THE HANDLES AFFECTS THE
STABILITY OF THE PRAM/PUSHCHAIR.
• Always ensure that your pushchair is fully erect and all locking clips are engaged. (Take
particular care if the PVC Raincover is fitted. Check that it is not entangled or preventing
the locking mechanism from functioning correctly).
• Your pushchair is supplied with a five-point body harness. Children should be harnessed
in at all times. Ensure that the harness is correctly adjusted, providing a snug fit around
your child. Adjustments can be made using the buckles on the shoulder, waist and crotch
straps. Please refer to the “Using & adjusting the harness” page16. The pushchair is supplied
with ‘D’ ring harness attachment points. These are located on either side at the base of
the backrest and are for fitting a separate harness conforming to BS 6684 if required. We
recommend that an additional harness is used when the pushchair is used as a pram.
• Always ensure the brakes are correctly engaged whenever the pushchair is left for any
reason, even if only for a short time on a flat surface.
• Care should be taken when using any PVC cover. Regularly check that your child is
comfortable and not over heating. There are mesh ventilation panels on the sides of the
cover. These are essential to aid the flow of cool air around your baby. Unless it is raining,
the raincover should either be removed or the top section opened, see ‘Attaching the
Coperto Raincover’ sections on pages 22.
• Always ensure your child is clear of moving parts before you adjust the position of the
backrest, footrest or canopy.
• Always manoeuvre your pushchair up and down kerbs and steps gently. Do not let your
pushchair drop. Carry it up stairs whenever possible.
• Never overload your pushchair with additional goods.
• Do not hang shopping from the handles. Do not use any replacement parts or accessories
e.g. child seats, rain covers, stand-on platforms etc, except those recommended or supplied
by Mamas & Papas. The use of non-approved replacement parts or accessories may damage
or make your pushchair unsafe.
• Never force your pushchair. Adjustments and locks should be free and easy to operate.
• Do not store your pushchair in a damp place. Always allow the fabric to dry naturally away
from direct heat.
• The basket supplied with your pushchair is designed to hold a maximum of 3kg. Excessive
weight could damage the basket or impede the safe operation of the pushchair.
• We recommend that you fit a Mamas & Papas parasol to shade your child from direct
sunlight. We recommend that this is used in conjunction with the appropriate sun
protection cream and clothing.
